Welcome to The Chicago Real Estate Network

The Chicago Real Estate Network, formerly known as the Chicago Metropolitan Building Manager’s Club, was established in 1949 as a social club for Building Managers and their colleagues. Today, CREN has grown into a social and charitable organization where property professionals get together several times a year to socialize and keep in touch. Each event is carefully planned to ensure that the Members get the most value out of the experience, including an opportunity to talk to their friends and colleagues in an informal environment. CREN is particularly proud of its social conscience, holding an annual charity auction, and donating generously to causes on behalf of its members.
