Leaders in Construction & Real Estate winners announced

Standouts in the region’s construction and real estate industries were honored at the Rochester Business Journal and The Daily Record’s inaugural Leaders in Construction & Real Estate awards.

The Rochester area has been going through a great deal of change in recent years, and the construction and real estate industries have played a large role in that transformation. The Leaders in Construction & Real Estate awards celebrate the individuals and companies who are taking the lead in changing the landscape of the Rochester region through design, construction, project management, innovation and more.

“In addition to creating jobs, our Leaders in Construction & Real Estate honorees are building healthy spaces and helping families and companies achieve their dreams,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, publisher of the Rochester Business Journal and The Daily Record. “It is a pleasure to honor the many leaders in the construction and real estate fields, from developers, architects and engineers to home builders, real estate agents and more. Congratulations to this year’s honorees.”
