With effect from 13 October 2000, the Housing Developers' Association (HDA) Malaysia was renamed the Real Estate and Housing Developers' Association Malaysia or REHDA Malaysia.

Based in Petaling Jaya, the Association was established on 21 May 1970 with 13 pioneer members to represent the private sector in property development in Malaysia. Today, REHDA boasts a membership of over 800 developers across the nation who are responsible for some 80% of the total real estate built.

REHDA has grown as the leading voice of development of developers in all property categories, from traditional housing projects to condominiums, townships, towering commercial complexes, shopping malls, state-of-the-art golf courses, hospitals, theme parks and industrial estates.

Being the sole national representative body for property developers, REHDA plays a pivotal role in ensuring that developers' views are heard by the relevant authorities and government agencies. REHDA is highly respected by both the public and private sectors for its commitment to nation building and betterment of life. The Association's quest to provide affordable and quality housing for the nation through its members has also yielded great success. These remarkable achievements reflect REHDA's growth from strength to strength, and this record is set to continue well into the future.
