Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards are presented to equity REITs in two categories: Large Cap and Small Cap companies. A single Gold Award is presented in the mREIT category.

In the Large Cap equity REIT category, the Gold Award was presented to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. The Silver Large Cap winner was Digital Realty, and the Bronze Large Cap Award was presented to Boston Properties.
In the Small Cap Equity REIT category, this year’s Gold Award was presented to Acadia Realty Trust. American Assets Trust won the Silver Award and Lexington Realty Trust captured the Bronze Award.
In the mREIT category, the Gold Award was presented to Starwood Property Trust.

We congratulate them on their achievement.”
This year’s Nareit Investor CARE Award judges included: Bruce Garrison, Matt Werner, Blane Cheatham and Parker Rhea of the Chilton Capital REIT team; Sheila McGrath of Evercore ISI; Merrie Frankel of Minerva Realty Consultants, LLC; and Tiffany Balbuena, Keven Lindemann and Miel Sabas of S&P Global Market Intelligence.
