In late March, the region’s top commercial real estate leaders gathered at the Frontiers of Flight Museum to recognize the finalists and winners of D CEO’s Commercial Real Estate Awards for 2024. This special event recognized outstanding projects, transactions, dealmakers and leaders from across the region.
Jack Matthews, president of Matthews Southwest, received this year's Pioneer Award, and Michael Wyatt was the posthumous recipient of the first Industry Impact Award.
Guests were greeted with opening remarks by Noel Leveaux, Publisher of D Magazine Partners. D CEO Editor Christine Perez presented the awards along with Bill Shaddock, Owner and CEO of Bill Shaddock Family of Companies, Doug Dearson, President of the Dearson Foundation and Dearson Capital Services, and Ben Swanger, Editor in Chief of D CEO.
D CEO editors received a record number of nominations for the 2024 program and selected winners in 22 categories: Ran Holman of Newmark was named Commercial Real Estate Executive of the Year, Steve Trese of CBRE was named Broker of the Year, and Allison Johnston Frizzo of Hart Commercial was named Emerging Commercial Real Estate Professional of the Year.
Trammell Crow, led by Scott Krikorian, was named Developer of the Year, HKS, led by Dan Noble, won the award for Excellence in Architecture and Design, and Beck Group, led by Fred Purpal, won the award for Excellence in Construction and Engineering.
Industry Impact Award recipient Michael Wyatt, who tragically passed away last September, was a leader for good in the commercial real estate industry and the city he loved so dearly. Wyatt was one of the top tenant representation brokers in the area, but his impact on the community went far beyond his accomplishments as a real estate transaction broker. Wyatt's wife, Piper, accepted the award on his behalf.
More information on this year’s commercial real estate awards program, including project and transaction details, can be found in the April 2024 issue or digital edition of D CEO.
We would like to thank title sponsor Capital Title for their support of this program and congratulate all of the finalists and winners who will be featured in the April issue of D CEO.
