The Urban Land Institute Nashville held its annual Excellence in Development awards event this evening, Wednesday, April 26, at the Grand Hyatt in downtown Nashville. Over 600 ULI Nashville members and guests representing firms across the real estate and land use industry attended the 13th annual Awards event, which celebrates developments that are exceptional in their innovation and impact on the community and within their asset class.
“In a city that’s rapidly transforming, it’s vital to pause and celebrate the developers, architects, and contractors that have delivered projects at the highest standards of achievement, and this year’s Awards delivered!”
Clay Haynes, Principal, Public Square, Development + Brokerage
“Gathering with hundreds of colleagues whose work I admire, to celebrate our industry’s shared success, makes for a fantastic evening!”
Kaylen Harrison, Director of Marketing at Southeast Venture
“Once again, the Awards event was spectacular. We have a lot to celebrate in Nashville’s real estate industry, and it was a joy to see the exceptional developments that won awards! We are thrilled that EOA’s work on the Dismas House was among the winners!”
Sheila Dial-Barton, Principal, EOA Architects, PLLC
Of the eighteen projects that were nominated for award consideration, eight received winning recognition due to their demonstration of meeting market demands and addressing community needs specific to Nashville and Middle Tennessee. The judges came from Denver, Minneapolis, and Washington, D.C. to observe and carefully review each applicant across the criteria of excellence in land use and design, construction, and financial success as well as innovation in affordability, sustainability, and public private partnerships.
“It’s exciting for the entire industry to be together for an evening to enjoy one another’s company and honor each other’s accomplishments. In November, we celebrated Nashville’s second year as ULI America’s number one ‘market to watch,’ and tonight we understand why we won that honor – our development community, and the projects they create, are making Nashville stronger, more resilient and a more desirable place to live.”
ULI Nashville Chair, Edward Henley, III, founder and principal at Pillars Development
