Each year LOCUS honors some of the nation’s leading developers for their work with the Leadership Awards, awarded based on their exemplary commitment to public leadership, triple-bottom-line development, and smart growth. We received a record number of nominations this year and whittled those down to three finalists in each category (see all the finalists here).
The winners were announced at the LOCUS President’s Reception and Awards Dinner during the 2019 LOCUS Leadership Summit: Opportunity Rising on Sunday, June 23, 2019.
This year’s winners are:

The Company of the Year Award is presented to a company that has a clear history of public leadership in supporting projects that transform their communities and create lasting value for the citizens who live there. This year, LOCUS was proud to present the Company of the Year Award to Cityview in Los Angeles, CA.
Cityview was founded in 2003 with a focus on urban infill development of multi-family housing. The company has projects in Texas, Colorado, the Northwestern United States, and California.
