This year marks CPE’s 20th Executives of the Year Awards, recognizing commercial real estate’s top achievers, decided by a confidential vote of the CPE 100, an invited group of industry leaders. The leaders profiled here come from all walks of commercial real estate, from investment and development to finance and advisory services.
During a dynamic year, these executives have engineered some of the largest, most complex corporate-level mergers and acquisitions in recent memory. As for transactions, a number of winners orchestrated blockbuster portfolio and single-asset deals.
Still others streamlined their companies’ missions, making way for fresh opportunities. Each of these accomplishments required ingenuity, diligence and fervor.
