Event Details


It's sophisticated and spirited! This year's Havana Nights theme is going to be the perfect backdrop for celebrating the extraordinary people who make multifamily exceptional.

On Friday, December 4, our members will gather to honor the individuals, teams, communities, suppliers, amenities, and companies whose performance, innovation, leadership, and commitment continue to elevate our industry.

But before we get to the celebration of nominees, we invite all of our members to participate in the BRAVO Awards nomination window!

NOMINATION WINDOW IS OPEN

Submission Window · July 1 through August 31

This window is your opportunity to shine a spotlight on the people and companies driving development and innovation within the Greater Charlotte multifamily community.

Think about the leasing professional who creates remarkable resident experiences, the maintenance technician who never settles for good enough, the property manager who inspires an entire team, the supplier who consistently delivers excellence, the social media account everyone follows, the c-suite who creates killer corporate culture, and the community raising the bar when it comes to amenities and lifestyle.

The people, properties, companies, suppliers, and amenities that immediately come to mind...those are your nominees!

BIG NOMINEE NEWS

Pick up those maracas, because this year, BRAVO Awards nominations will be music to your ears!

You'll enter nominations via a streamlined/automated platform, so not only will it be easier to submit nominations, but nominees will have the opportunity to amplify their nomination with additional copy and uploads, PLUS letters of recommendation!

WELCOME TO HAVANA NIGHTS

The Havana Nights theme will transform the traditional BRAVO Awards black tie and evening gown for the irresistible rhythm, color, and soul of Havana.

Imagine a ballroom alive with rich green botanicals, birds of paradise, vintage elegance, vibrant music and the unmistakable energy of Cuba.

When you shop for your BRAVO attire...channel emerald palms, terracotta, coral, sapphire, and golden amber, embrace flowing fabrics, linen jackets, bold tropical prints, colorful dresses, guayaberas, and the rich textures that capture the timeless charm and effortless sophistication of Havana.
