The Westchester Home Builders Awards is a contest in partnership with The Building & Realty Institute of Westchester & the Mid-Hudson Region.
We will be proudly celebrating Westchester and the greater Hudson Valley region’s best builders and developers, and their visionary work. The contest and event’s goal is to create a sense of connection among the builder community and highlight the work and innovation of developers and builders changing the landscape of Westchester and the Hudson Valley’s housing and lifestyle. We ask the community to submit their best single-family and multi-family projects. An esteemed panel of judges will choose the winners. We will feature the finalists and their work in our Winter issue of Westchester Home, and announce the winners at an awards presentation in March 2023. At the event, you will have the opportunity to mingle and network with the winners along with other builders, developers, and home design enthusiasts.
