Announcing the 2021 ULI Americas Awards for Excellence, part of the 2021 ULI Global Awards for Excellence program.

A guiding principle of the Urban Land Institute is that the achievement of excellence in land use practice should be recognized and rewarded. 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.  Since 2012, the ULI Global Awards for Excellence have honored development projects from around the globe in a single competition. In 2021, projects will need to first enter a regional award program to receive recognition at the global level.

The Awards recognize the full development process of a project, not just its architecture or design—although these elements play an important role. The Awards recognize a wide variety of product types, including office, residential, recreational, urban/mixed use, industrial/office park, commercial/retail, new community, rehabilitation, public, and heritage projects, as well as programs and projects that do not fit into any of these product categories.

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.
