The Tyler, East Haven, CT-Residential Development that Best Exemplifies Major Community Impact.

Milwaukee Soldiers Home, Milwaukee, WI-Residential Development that Overcame Significant Obstacles. Developed by the Alexander Company, Milwaukee Soldiers Home includes the restoration and rehabilitation of six vacant buildings-all national historic landmarks-on the grounds of the Clement J.

The property, developed by New + Found, is on the site of the former Century Electric Foundry complex, which was built in 1929 and operated as a working foundry until 2007. Before redevelopment, the site was one of the largest brownfield sites in the St. Louis region. 4. Cook County Hospital, Chicago, IL-Non-Residential Development that Overcame Significant Obstacles.
