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.
