| Best Community Impact Many different things will be considered for this category, including but not limited to, buildings, parks, playgrounds, monuments, retail, etc., but the ‘impact’ must be recognized by the surrounding community. The project has had to make a positive change in the community. |
TRANSACTION |
Size, creativity, “never gonna happen”, overcoming NIMBY, new jobs added to a much-needed area, capital investment in a blighted community, and many other reasons can all lead to winning in this category. Each lease or sales transaction must have been completed by Dec. 31, 2023. |
