High-end looks for student and affordable housing, green and energy-efficient building systems and contemporary design are the hallmarks of this year's finalists for the 2013 Multifamily Pillars of the Industry Awards, which honor superior achievement in apartment and condominium development, design, marketing and management and are sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
"A wave of new multifamily communities helped bring the housing industry out of the recession, and this group of finalists exemplifies what's new and exciting in residential construction," said W. Dean Henry, CEO of Legacy Partners Residential in Foster City, Calif., and chairman of NAHB's Multifamily Leadership Board. "This year's finalists have gone above and beyond what residents need and desire from an apartment or condo in today's marketplace."
