NAIOP Awards of Excellence: 2025 Architectural Design Project of the Year
The Commercial Real Estate Development Association Awards of Excellence program recently recognized our  Cleveland Museum of Natural History project with the 2024 Architectural Design Project of the Year award.
The NAIOP Awards of Excellence, presented by the NAIOP Northern Ohio Chapter, is an annual award program that recognizes the best projects, developments, real estate transactions, and individual contributions in the commercial real estate industry in the region.
Situated prominently within Cleveland’s cultural district, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History is a pillar of science, education, research, conservation, and community engagement. The Museum’s multiphase Centennial Transformation project enhances exhibit, educational, and gathering spaces. New, renovated, and reorganized exhibit spaces expand programming and improve visitor circulation with connections to the exterior and to nature.
Inspired by the Museum’s commitment to sustainability and its relationship with surrounding bodies of water, alluvial shapes within the design create a single and continuous form that ties together current and previous additions.
The award was presented at the 2025 Awards of Excellence on Wednesday, May 7, at the TRUSS Event Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
