WASHINGTON, D.C. – October 7, 2011 – (RealEstateRama) — The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) today announced the winners of the 2011 Multifamily Pillars of the Industry Awards. NAHB’s Pillars Awards, considered the most prestigious in the industry, honor excellence in multifamily housing development, design, marketing and management, and showcase future trends in the industry.
“With this group of winners, we see the effort of developers and builders who have persevered through difficult economic conditions to create something wonderful,” said Charles R. Brindell, Jr., chair of NAHB’s Multifamily Leadership Board, and CEO of Mill Creek Residential Trust, LLC. “With demand rising for multifamily homes, these apartments and condos are models for the communities being built to meet that need.”
