Tremont Realty Capital has appointed Brandon Beatty to the Board of the Urban Land Institute's (ULI) Boston District Council.

Beatty has been an Analyst with Tremont Realty Capital, LLC for the past three and a half years.

The Urban Marketplace gives participants the chance to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and make deals. The luncheon keynote speaker was Congressman Barney Frank and remarks were given by Jeff Simon, Director of Infrastructure for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The ULI is a national organization, which brings people from all disciplines in the real estate field together to study and interpret real estate trends; to examine principles through which private enterprise could effectively develop real estate; to develop a body of knowledge in real estate and allied subjects; to publish informative texts and technical journals based on that knowledge; and to act as a statistical clearinghouse for the dissemination of real estate data. The Institute's continuing focus on nonpartisan research and education has made it one of the world's most respected and quoted organizations in urban planning, land use, and development. ULI membership has grown from 230 members at its start to more than 40,000 professionals in 50 states. Through the direction and support of its members, the Institute is well positioned to provide responsible leadership in the use of land.
