Billingsley Co earned the prestigious North Texas NAIOP 2014 Developer of the Year honors Thursday for its 1.8M SF of new commercial space in 2014. Here’s Billingsley’s SVP investments and build-to-suits Marijke Lantz and partner Lucy Billingsley accepting the award from NAIOP's president, Champion Partners’ Steve Modory. Billingsley started six build-to-suit office projects and four spec office and industrial buildings in 2014.

In the past decade, Billingsley has built 16 office buildings (more than 2M SF), 1.8M SF of industrial buildings, 3,600 apartments and 390k SF of retail. (Pictured is a rendering of the 165k SF three-story Monitronics corporate HQ at Mercer Business Park.) Lucy tells us that just being recognized “for doing what you love every day is just a delight. There's no place sweeter to be in real estate today than Dallas, TX. With our tremendous growth this is a wonderful opportunity to create great buildings and places to enhance all our lives for years to come.”
