Enter Pillars of Industry Marketing, Design Awards

Entries are open for the 2009 Pillars of the Industry Awards competition honoring excellence in apartment and condominium design and development — including the best mixed-use community — as well as leadership in marketing and property management.

Apartment owners and developers, property managers, architects, interior designers and others involved in the multifamily housing industry are invited to enter.

The application deadline is Nov. 7. Entry notebooks are due Nov. 21.

The Pillars of the Industry Awards program is the largest and most prestigious of its kind, and both housing professionals and the media look to the awards as a showcase of future trends and innovation.

The awards recognize superior achievement in three areas: building, marketing and individual excellence, including “Multifamily Development Firm of the Year” and “Best Multifamily Community of the Year.”

Award recipients will be honored at a gala ceremony during NAHB Multifamily’s Pillars of the Industry Conference at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego on March 18. The conference, on March 17-18, is the premier educational and networking event for multifamily developers, owners, managers and lenders.

For complete details, including eligibility requirements and application forms, go to www.nahb.org/pillarsawards, e-mail multifamily@nahb.com or call 800-368-5242 x8215.
