2004 Multifamily Finalists for Pillars Awards Announced

The awards program was created in 1990 to honor superior achievement and leadership in the multifamily industry and to promote the benefits of apartment living.

“These are not your father’s apartments and condominiums,” said Jerry Howard, executive vice president and CEO of NAHB. “This year’s Pillars program proves once again that today’s multifamily communities are better than ever and offer a wide variety of great lifestyle choices to residents.”

Finalists were named in 29 categories, including Freddie Mac’s Multifamily Development Firm of the Year and Property Management Company of the Year.

Howard noted a huge jump this year in the number of entries in the “Best Mixed Use Community” category, reflecting the growing popularity of rental and condo homes interwoven into communities with retail as well as other commercial space.

“These apartments and condos have helped revitalize urban neighborhoods across the country,” Howard said.

Winners will be announced at a gala ceremony held in conjunction with NAHB Multifamily’s Pillars of the Industry Conference, March 29, at the La Quinta Resort & Spa in Palm Springs, CA. For the first time, NAHB will present a Pillars Award for “Multifamily Community of the Year,” selected from among the winners in all the builder award categories.

Freddie Mac, one of the nation’s largest investors in multifamily housing, will sponsor the 2004 Pillars of the Industry Gala. Freddie Mac is committed to developing new products and processes to keep down the cost of rental housing while providing superior service and innovation.
