The Korean Developer Association announced on June 8 that it is launching the Korean Real Estate Development Industry Institute (KREDII), the first specialized research institute in the real estate development sector, by expanding its existing policy research office. Kim Seung-bae will serve as the director of KREDII.
 
To commemorate its launch, KREDII will hold a founding symposium on June 25 at 2 p.m. at the Oakwood Premier Coex Center, IT Square, located on the second floor. The event is supported by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Korean Developer Association, the Korea Construction Association, the Korea Housing Association, the Korea REITs Association, and the Korea Institute of Construction Technology. It aims to present future visions and policy directions for the real estate development, construction, and finance industries in light of the current era of transformation.
 
The symposium will feature three key presentations covering the real estate, construction, and finance sectors. The topics include: 1) "The Future of Developers and the Role of the Institute in the Era of Transformation" (Lee Jin, Researcher at KREDII), 2) "Beyond Real Estate: Innovation in the Construction Industry" (Heo Yoon-kyung, Researcher at the Korea Institute of Construction Technology), and 3) "Strengthening the Role of Real Estate Finance as Productive Finance" (Shin Dong-soo, Director of the Korea REITs Association). These discussions will delve into the roles and strategies of the relevant industries.

The Korean Developer Association, which established KREDII, is engaged in various initiatives to promote the healthy development of the domestic real estate development industry and advocate for the interests of its members.
 
The association conducts research and studies aimed at advancing the real estate development industry, including proposals for improvements, financial system linkage strategies, and plans for overseas expansion. It is also responsible for collecting, developing, and disseminating statistics and information related to real estate development, as well as supporting the establishment of information systems and publishing related books and materials.
 
Additionally, the association focuses on talent development and education, providing training and management for professionals and workers in real estate development, while operating advanced programs such as the Creative City Real Estate Convergence Executive Program (ARP) and the Next Generation Developer Program (ARPY).
 
Moreover, it undertakes mutual aid projects for the welfare and rights protection of its members, promotes voluntary review of advertising and labeling, enhances cooperation with foreign organizations and international bodies, and manages entrusted tasks from the government and local authorities.
