COALITIONS LOCUS Be a Member LOCUS is a national network of real estate developers, investors, and professionals united to advance equitable, walkable urban development in communities across the country. You are invited to join us.
LOCUS is unique as a purpose-driven community of real estate developers and investors, committed to smart growth and a triple-bottom-line approach.
Together LOCUS members work to increase funding and financing for smart growth development; improve regulations at all levels of government to support smart growth; and change federal programs to improve housing and transportation options for all Americans.
LOCUS members have a voice in state capitols and in Washington; opportunities to network with like-minded professionals; new ideas, resources, and learning opportunities through LOCUS’ policy resources and newsletters; and a platform to showcase their projects and enhance their commitment to triple-bottom-line development.
Members also receive exclusive invitations to connect with policymakers seeking to advance smart growth, and better understand the market dynamics and challenges often hampering equitable, walkable development outcomes.
