NJBIZ unveils 2026 Leaders in Real Estate, Construction and Design

The NJBIZ Leaders in Real Estate, Construction and Design Awards celebrate individuals and companies changing New Jersey’s commercial real estate landscape.

Now in its sixth year, the award categories include:

• Architecture
• Commercial real estate
• Commercial property development
• Engineering
• Environmental
• General contractor
• Interior design
• Law
• Project/construction management
• Subcontractor

Additionally, the Top Projects awards – now in its third year – look back at the work accomplished in the state. This program recognizes how these plans and projects remade the landmarks of the past or established those of the future. Projects include private, public, transportation & infrastructure, and renovation.

We are honoring the owner of the Top Projects along with those who made the work possible, such as the general contractor, subcontractors, attorneys, architects, engineers and others.

Nominations for both programs were submitted through an open process and then evaluated by an independent panel of judges to determine the honorees.

NJBIZ invites you to celebrate these individuals and firms during an awards program June 9 at The DoubleTree by Hilton Somerset. You may register to attend the ceremony on the event page.

This year’s presenting sponsor is Provident Bank, which it has been since the program’s launch.

Honorees will also be recognized in a special section of NJBIZ.

Congratulations to the 2026 NJBIZ Leaders in Real Estate, Construction and Design!
