Building NC: Our annual look at the best new and rehabbed structures across North Carolina

Years of economic strength have combined to create a robust construction market, which is evident in the ninth Building North Carolina awards for commercial real-estate projects. The eight category winners and nine honorable mentions span a wide spectrum of industries and include offices, apartments, performing arts, athletics, health care and lodging. Our editorial team selected the buildings with input from representatives of the state’s construction and architecture industries. Projects that were completed between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022 were selected based on design, innovation and community impact.
