The multifamily market has continued to rise during an uncertain, wavering economic time. This ever-changing, adapting business has paved the way for owners, investors, developers, brokers and financiers to create an impact.

From developing entire housing complexes to transforming a single building, there are individuals that go beyond providing shelter, by recognizing opportunities to creatively transform neighborhoods and make meaningful impacts on communities. By staying ahead of emerging trends and conditions in the market, these influencers display innovation in their projects and are among the most notable names in the business.

Real Estate Forum is looking to promote these prominent individuals and firms who have helped shape the multifamily real estate market through contributions and successes. These innovators have directly impacted the market's success and have become crucial to the industry's future. They will be highlighted in Real Estate Forum's October issue, as impactful pioneers, who not only influence specific communities but the entire field.

The deadline for nominations is July 24, 2019. To apply, click here.

When will the issue come out?

Is there a fee to apply?

How do I increase my chances of being selected?

Be as descriptive, yet concise as possible. Sounds redundant, but it's simple. Provide details on why you think your entry should be chosen as an Influencer, but leave out the fluff, like marketing content and self-congratulatory comments. We don't mind reading long entries, but don't hide the items of importance within pages of trivialities. Support your entry and statements with backup information—we love facts and figures—or files such as media coverage.

What if I still have questions regarding my nomination?

Please contact managing editor Erika Morphy with any additional queries.
