Since 1910, Associated Builders and Owners of Greater New York, Inc. has worked to promote the housing industry through education, advocacy, and setting professional standards.

ABO is the Metropolitan New York Chapter of the National Apartment Association and the Manhattan chapter of the National Association of Home Builders. Membership includes membership in NAHB and the New York State Builders Association, along with the representation and services offered by these associations in Albany and Washington. ABO Membership also includes membership in Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP), a local association of thousands of building owners and managers and publishers of the monthly New York Housing Journal, a vital resource for New York City real estate professionals.

ABO IS THE LEADING NETWORK FOR OWNERS, MANAGER, AND SUPPLIERS

As sponsors of the annual Buildings/NY Show we bring more owners, managers, and suppliers together in one day that any other real estate organization does in a year...but that’s not all. Every month ABO hosts key industry luncheons, seminars, and meetings where industry professionals meet, learn, and profit.

 

THE NATIONAL LEADER IN MANAGEMENT ACCREDITATION — RAM

RAM certification is a nationally recognized credential for apartment management professionals. ABO created the program with the National Association of Home Builders and now offers RAM through our National Associated Builders and Owners subsidiary.

 

LEADING IN ALBANY AND CITY HALL

ABO represents its members on legislation and regulations that affect their everyday business: whether it’s a zoning change that limits development, building codes that add costs for no reason, tax increases, or laws that discourage capital improvements, ABO is a voice for the industry.

 

LEADING IN EDUCATION

ABO’s RAM program for managers is just the beginning. Whether you are a builder, manager, or supplier we want you to be the best at your profession and we have programs to help you. Join our practical roundtable discussions with your industry peers, and learn how the best in the business do business.

 

LEADING IN SAVINGS & SERVICES

ABO’s Workers’ Compensation Safety Group typically saves members more 25% to 45% on their insurance costs. Members enjoy discounts and savings on everything from cell service to office supplies, car rentals, and even new cars.
