NAIOPWA's Night of the Stars awards honor the projects and teams that build Puget Sound’s most notable developments in this annual celebration of the commercial real estate industry. Each finalist project was evaluated for impact on the community, market adaptability, ingenuity and local contributions. Winners will be announced at the sold-out gala on November 7 at the Hyatt Regency Seattle.

The Commercial Brokers Association, in partnership with NAIOPWA, will announce the brokerage finalists at their second annual Salute to Industry Impact event on October 9 at the Moss Bay Hall. Details can be found on the CBA website, www.commercialmls.com.
