Recognizing Women Who Are Shaping the Future of Commercial Real Estate

Bisnow is proud to present its 2025 DMV Women Leading Real Estate (WLRE) awards, honoring the extraordinary women who are redefining the commercial real estate landscape across Washington D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia.

  • Excellence in Construction and Engineering
  • Excellence in Architecture & Interiors
  • Best in Brokerage
  • Rising Stars

 

From dealmakers to designers, engineers to executives, this celebration brings together the full spectrum of DMV commercial real estate. Attendees can expect an afternoon of hearing and connecting with the region’s top leaders who continue to push boundaries and pave the way forward.
