It Should be a Survivor's Award, Not a Trendsetter's Award

WASHINGTON, DC-Besides its comprehensive look at the Washington economy and commercial real estate market, Transwestern also awarded Bob Murphy, managing principal of MRP Realty and Bill Alsup, senior managing director of Hines the “Trendsetters of the Year” award at its Trendlines 2013 debut.

Certainly the award recipients acknowledge the hard work their individual firms have done to receive the awards. “This recognitions of Hines’ Washington offices accomplishments is what is so special and important to me,” Aslup tells GlobeSt.com. Indeed, Hines has been instrumental in some of the area’s most notable projects, including Columbia Square, Franklin Square and the Gannett/USA Today Headquarters. Then there is CityCenterDC, a 2.5 million-square foot mixed-use project that is beginning its condo sales.
