Call for Entries for Pillars of the Industry Awards

Apartment owners and developers, property managers, architects, interior designers and others involved in the multifamily housing industry are invited to enter the 2005 Pillars of the Industry Awards competition, sponsored by NAHB to honor “the Best of the Best” in apartment and condominium design, development, marketing and management.
 
Now in its 14th year, the awards program is the largest and most prestigious competition of its kind, and both housing professionals and the media look to the Pillars winners as a showcase of future trends and innovation.
 
The awards recognize superior achievement in three areas:

  • Building
  • Marketing
  • Individual Excellence — an area that includes an award for the “Multifamily Development Firm of the Year”

In addition, the competition’s judges select a “Multifamily Community of the Year” from all the winning entries in the Building area.

While most of the Pillars Awards categories honor excellence among rental communities, there also are categories for condominium properties and mixed-use development — two of the most vibrant and fastest growing segments of the multifamily market.
 
Award recipients will be honored at a gala ceremony during NAHB Multifamily’s Pillars of the Industry Conference, which will be held at the Doral Resort & Club in Miami on April 3-6, 2005. The conference is the premier educational and networking event for multifamily developers, owners, managers and lenders, and more than 500 industry professionals are expected to attend.
 
The deadline to apply is Nov. 1.

Complete details, including eligibility requirements and application forms, are available at www.pillarsconference.com.
