Helping to shape the leading association of the real estate industry
The German Property Federation (ZIA) represents the interests of the entire real estate industry in terms of regulatory and economic policies. It promotes and supports appropriate measures to maintain and improve the economic, legal, tax and political environment of the real estate industry.
As a business association, ZIA gives its members, who are among the most important companies in their sector, a voice at national and European level – and in the Federation of German Industries (BDI). The Executive Committee, elected by the annual general meeting, is responsible for the overall management of the ZIA. From this, the Executive Board takes over the management of the association's business. Real I.S. is represented on ZIA's Executive Committee.
