NAHB launches multifamily structure awards
WASHINGTON -- The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) today unveiled a new website featuring the finalists in its 19th annual Multifamily Pillars of the Industry Awards. The recently-named finalists represent the nation's top-performing firms working in design, development, marketing and management of apartments and condos.

The newly-launched website - www.nahb.org/pillarsawards - provides a full listing of all Pillars finalists, as well photos and information on each project. With its searchable format, visitors to the site can easily search for finalists by category or location. Additionally, the site includes comments by the award hosts and judges.

"This interactive website presents the best work now being done in the multifamily industry," said Charles R. Brindell, Jr., Chair of NAHB's Multifamily Leadership Board, and CEO of Mill Creek Residential Trust LLC. "The finalists are examples of communities that deliver everything residents expect from an apartment or condo: great design, inside and out; cutting-edge features and amenities; great marketing, and solid, professional management."

The competition attracted nearly 300 entries, and includes categories for multifamily rental and for-sale communities, marketing campaigns for those communities, and honors for individual and corporate achievement in 2010. The 93 finalists in 27 categories represent the best of the industry and are considered a showcase of future trends and innovation.

Winners in the Marketing and Individual categories will be announced on the website through a virtual awards show webcast at 2:00 p.m. ET on October 21, and the winners in the Builder and Firm categories will be similarly announced on December 7. Login instructions will be provided at www.nahb.org/pillarsawards.
