ULI Austin

The Urban Land Institute (ULI) is a member-led organization providing leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide.  ULI is a network of people in every profession and sector in real estate development and land use from all over the world and in every career stage.  While global in scope, we are local in impact through sharing knowledge and making connections.

The Austin District Council was founded in 1994 and now includes over 1000 Austin-area members.  Our members are involved in all aspects of the development and city planning process – private, public, and non-profit.  Membership in ULI Austin includes the research and resources of the oldest and largest network of cross-disciplinary real estate and land use experts in the world.

Our real estate community is nationally recognized for innovation and resilience.  In ULI Americas’ 2020 annual Emerging Trends in Real Estate report, ULI ranked Austin first out of U.S. markets to watch for overall real estate prospects. Since 2010, Austin has ranked seventh or higher in ULI’s Emerging Trends in Real Estate report.
