OVERVIEW

ULI began the Awards for Excellence program in 1979 to recognize truly superior development efforts in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. Winning projects represent the highest standards of achievement in the development industry—standards that ULI members deem worthy of attainment in their professional endeavors.

ULI Awards for Excellence in the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions serve as the first round for the 2024 ULI Global Awards for Excellence. Winners from these regions automatically become finalists for the global jury’s consideration. 

The Awards for Excellence recognize the full development process of a project, not just its architecture or design—although these elements play an important role.

The Awards recognize both development projects and programs. Among projects, the Awards recognize a wide variety of product types, including office, residential, retail, industrial, hotel, mixed use, planned community, open space, and more. Programs are initiatives, processes, or policies that guide or enhance development.

A jury of ULI members chooses finalists and winners. Members of the jury are leaders who represent a broad geographic diversity and many areas of real estate and land use expertise, including finance, planning, development, public affairs, design, and professional services, among others.

“ULI Awards for Excellence winning projects serve as a great benchmark. When we were planning Dairy Block,  we toured 28 ULI award winning projects in 30 days. It was a fantastic way to gather insight, understand the current state of those developments, become inspired, and generate placemaking ideas that informed our own process.”

Chad McWhinney, CEO and Co-Founder at McWhinney and former ULI Global Awards for Excellence winner and co-developer of Denver Union Station
