ULI Awards for Excellence define the standard for real estate development practice worldwide. In its 30th year, the awards program is the centerpiece of ULI’s efforts to identify and promote best practices in all types of real estate development. The awards recognize the full development process of a project -construction, economic viability, marketing, and management- as well as design.

One of the Urban Land Institute’s guiding principles is that the achievement of excellence in land use practice should be recognised and rewarded. ULI has been recognising development projects in both the public and private sectors since 1979. With each award, the public becomes more keenly aware of the benefits of superior planning, design, and development, a goal of both the Institute and the development industry.

The ULI Awards for Excellence honor development projects in three regions: the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Each region has its own jury, schedule, and fees.

The application deadline for projects located in Europe, Africa, Middle East is extended until 07 March 2008 and for projects in Asia Pacific until 19 March 2008.
