Commercial Real Estate Deals of the Year

The commercial real estate landscape in Birmingham changes almost daily. Every time a new project is announced, a retail shop closes its doors or a developer decides to renovate a historic property, it has an effect on the market. Even outside influences like Mercedes opening a plant in Vance or a bank merger leave a lasting impact on the industry.

The Birmingham Business Journal wants to know which real estate deals had the largest impact in 2007. Which deals created applause? What deals foreshadow a coming trend, and which deals caused you to raise an eyebrow in 2007? The BBJ wants your input for its annual "Real Estate Deals of the Year" section that will run on March 21.

The categories are: * Community/ nonprofit * Industrial * Mixed Use * Multifamily * New Construction * Office * Portfolio Transaction, * Public Sector, * Renovation and * Retail

Ground rules: the deal must have been brokered by a local real estate agent, and it must have been signed or had significant ground broken in 2006. The project, of course, must be located within the Birmingham metro area. The deadline is Jan. 24. Please list agent/agents as nominee.

Agents, brokers, general contractors and other parties may nominate projects that they have worked on or been involved with. Winners and runners up will be selected by a panel of judges selected by the BBJ. The Real Estate Deals of the Year finalists will be honored in the March 21 edition and winners will be announced at the annual Real Estate Deals of the Year awards event. The "Real Estate Deals of the Year" issue will be available that same day.
