If you’re even remotely involved in commercial real estate, you already know — NAIOP is the place to be.
The 2025 NAIOP Reception and Banquet at the Pittsburgh Convention Center brings together the biggest developers, investors, brokers, architects, and urban planners under one roof. It’s basically Pittsburgh’s version of the Met Gala for real estate nerds (and yes, I say that lovingly).
You’ll find:
- Award ceremonies recognizing top projects and achievements across the region.
- Major networking opportunities with the who’s-who of Pittsburgh real estate.
- Unfiltered market talks about where Pittsburgh’s booming next.
Local Tip for Architecture Lovers: If you’ve got a free afternoon, take a walk through Pittsburgh’s downtown — from the sleek modernism of PPG Place to the historic Market Square, it’s a living masterclass in urban development.
Real Talk: Bring your best elevator pitch, your sharpest suit, and maybe a mental note of your dream properties — you never know who you’ll run into.
Where to stay: After hours of networking and celebration, you’re going to want a real home-away-from-home. Rivers and Steel City Homes has fully furnished rentals nearby — no tiny rooms, no overpriced minibar snacks, just full kitchens, comfy couches, and plenty of space to recharge. It’s the smart choice for savvy professionals who also appreciate a good deal. 🏢💬
