Awards and Competition
For decades, the Urban Land Institute has set the standard in recognising outstanding real estate development projects, related programmes, and visionaries in urban development. ULI’s awards programmes are highly selective and provide a prestigious reference for professionals involved in the built environment. Winners and finalists benefit from worldwide recognition among influential leaders in fields related to real estate and urban development.
ULI recognises a wide range of project types, sizes, and initiatives in its award programmes—from housing to commercial and mixed-use development and new communities, from open spaces to policy initiatives, and both profit and nonprofit.
Projects are judged by teams of experts tailored to the requirements of each awards programme. These multidisciplinary groups of experts typically include developers, planners, architects, public officials, community representatives, and other professionals, as required by the award criteria.
