Our community is in a time of transformation, and our build community is leading the way.

The new awards will focus on the people transforming our community, with Transformer of the Year Awards for architects, engineers, developers, contractors and subcontractors. There is also a Lifetime Achievement for Transformation, and more. In addition, a handful of truly exceptional projects, highlighting outstanding transformation, will also be honored.

Judges will come from the major associations representing this industry, including CREW, NAIOP, AGC, AIA, ULI and more. For this years’ awards, projects completed in 2019–2021 are eligible, as well as for all our individual award categories.
