- Environment, Social and Governance of the Year
For this category, the judges look at how the entrant’s ESG policies benefit stakeholders, operators, end-users, and the wider community. Gilbane is committed to applying a lens of driving positive impact on people and planet through all of its projects. Recognizing the significant impact that the built environment contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions, Gilbane believes building sustainably is a critical social responsibility. - Future Leader of the Year
This category is for an individual (based in the Americas) that has between 3- and 10-years’ experience in P3s. Nominations can be made by the individual themselves or by a colleague or client. Based in Gilbane’s Providence office, Gilbane Development Company Development Director Zach Tronti is a real estate and infrastructure development professional with deep experience in student housing, traditional multifamily, mixed-use projects & public-private partnerships (P3) in the social infrastructure space. - Best Education and Higher Education Project
