HBJ reveals real estate project finalists for 2020 Landmark Awards
Every year, numerous real estate projects are completed across the Houston area, impacting all industries in the metro. But there are always some that stand out above the others.
The Houston Business Journal’s Landmark Awards recognize real estate projects that make a significant impact on Houston and help sculpt the look, feel and image of the city. Our panel of judges narrowed down the finalists to 51 projects in 19 categories for this year’s awards. Some finalists appear in more than one category.
