ULI Nashville Hosts 13^th Annual Excellence in Development Awards,

Honors Nine Winners

NASHVILLE, TN—The Urban Land Institute Nashville held its annual Excellence in Development awards at an evening event on 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.

“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,” said ULI Nashville Chair, Edward Henley, III, founder and principal at Pillars Development. “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.”

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.
