Who We Are

The RPIP came into existence in March 2006 when 35 institutional investors, real estate developers and trade associations gathered in Tucson, Arizona, for a two day conference to discuss the various aspects of responsible property investment. As a result of this convening we conducted two major studies on the characteristics of RPI and interest in RPI among institutional investors.

A second RPI convening was held in New Orleans, in February 2007, at which time it was decided to formally create the RPIP as a precursor to the RPIC. Applied research and network building continue to be the core functions of the organization.
