Arguably the most anticipated industry event of the year, NAIOP’s Night of the Stars includes a black-tie dinner and gala awards ceremony recognizing local real estate projects and companies for their impact on the community, market adaptability, ingenuity and local contributions. The 2021 Finalists’ Gallery is online and showcases the best commercial real estate development projects in Washington State completed between July 1, 2020, and August 1, 2021—a period in which we have faced a global pandemic, as well as the effects of new legislation and rapidly evolving municipal planning in our region. 

The Gala will be held at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue, 900 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue, WA 98004.
