The industrial and office real estate brokerage community is marking a significant milestone this year. IOREBA, an organization long associated with commercial real estate professionals, is celebrating its 100th anniversary. The centennial arrives at a moment when the industry is undergoing substantial change, from shifting office demand to new patterns in industrial leasing.

Bree Manchanda, who has taken on a leadership role within the organization, is focused on guiding it through this next chapter. Her priorities include expanding membership and strengthening mentorship programs for brokers at various stages of their careers. Manchanda has emphasized that bringing in newer professionals and giving them access to experienced mentors is essential for keeping the organization relevant for the next hundred years.

The anniversary also offers a chance to reflect on how commercial real estate has transformed since the group's founding. Brokers today navigate a landscape shaped by technology, remote work trends, and evolving client expectations. Longtime members say the relationships built through the organization remain a core part of doing business.

Events planned around the centennial will bring together current members and past leaders to recognize the group's history while looking ahead. Organizers say the focus is not only on celebrating the past but on preparing the next generation of brokers for what comes next.
