Annual Awards for Excellence in Development

The Awards for Excellence in Development application window is now closed. Save the date to celebrate ten years of excellence at the Awards for Excellence in Development Gala on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at our new venue, Ziegfeld Ballroom!

ULI New York’s Awards for Excellence in Development honor outstanding development projects in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors across New York State that best exemplify ULI’s commitment to shape the future of the built environment for transformative impact in communities worldwide.

The process of nominating the Awards finalists, selecting the winning projects, and the Awards for Excellence Gala dinner are overseen annually by the Awards Committee and Awards Jury. The Awards Committee, which is responsible for nominating the finalists, and Awards Jury, which is responsible for selecting the winners, are comprised of ULI New York members across the spectrum of New York real estate, including owners, developers, investors, architects, urban planners, construction managers and lenders. The winners, revealed and celebrated at the annual Gala dinner, are selected by the Awards Jury after conducting comprehensive site visits of each of the finalists’ projects.
