The NJBIZ Leaders in Real Estate, Construction and Design Awards celebrate individuals and companies changing New Jersey’s commercial real estate landscape through development, design, construction, project management and more.

Nominations for individuals and organizations were submitted through an open process and then evaluated by an independent panel of judges to determine the 2023 honorees.  

Now in its third year, the program has grown from honoring 30 companies and individuals to recognizing 56 honorees. 

NJBIZ invites you to celebrate these individuals and firms during a virtual awards program Nov. 29 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Register to attend the morning ceremony on the event page. 

This year’s presenting sponsor is Provident Bank, which it has been since the launch of the program.

Honorees will also be recognized in a Dec. 11 special section of NJBIZ. 

Congratulations to the 2023 NJBIZ Leaders in Real Estate, Construction and Design!
