Champion Awards

 

Every year, TCREW brings the Raleigh-Durham commercial real estate community together to celebrate champions in the industry. We compile nominations for successful real estate projects and professionals throughout the Triangle area and select winners who are honored at the Awards Ceremony.

The 26th Annual TCREW Champion Awards was held on Thursday, April 24, 2025 at the Embassy Suites in Cary.  Over 600 professionals attended the sold-out event. A photo of our winners is to the right.
