The Urban Land Institute (ULI) has announced 18 finalists for the 2024 ULI Americas Awards for Excellence. The program, which was established in 1979, is considered among the highest achievements in the real estate development industry and honors completed projects that are exemplary of its mission of promoting best practices in development.
“This year’s submissions represented a broad portfolio of work, showcasing a diverse range of projects driven by creativity and ambition,” Doug Voigt, SOM Partner and the 2024 Chair of the ULI Americas Awards for Excellence jury, said about the finalists. “Innovation in housing design was a recurrent theme and one that directly addresses the current affordable housing crisis. The projects honored this year resonate with the ULI’s core mission to exemplify the transformative potential of design and development in building more sustainable communities.”
As always, projects from some of the world's leading architecture firms made the cut ahead of the final selection that is expected to be announced later this summer. The winner will then compete against projects from the Europe and Asia Pacific regions for the ULI Global Awards for Excellence.
