Equity Commonwealth is a Chicago-based real estate investment trust that owns commercial office properties across the United States and trades on the NYSE under EQC. It is internally managed and self-advised, with decision-making conducted within the company rather than by external managers. The firm's guiding principles emphasize accountability, alignment with stakeholders, and transparent, open communication. Its target market comprises investors seeking exposure to U.S. commercial real estate through a REIT structure, with governance and reliability as core considerations. In 2023, Equity Commonwealth named David Helfand as chair following the death of longtime chair Sam Zell.
