RED Awards Florida Hosts 14th Black-Tie Gala at Miami Design District

250 real estate leaders gathered February 19 in Miami for a sold-out black-tie gala honoring industry excellence.

MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, February 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- RED Awards Florida Hosts Its 14th Black-Tie Gala in the Miami Design District — Setting the Standard for Excellence in Real Estate

RED Awards, widely regarded as one of the most distinguished and influential awards organizations in the real estate industry, hosted its 14th edition on Thursday, February 19th, 2026, at the prestigious Miami Design District (4141 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami, Florida).

Held from 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM, the black-tie, seated dinner and awards ceremony welcomed a sold-out audience of 250 carefully curated guests — an elite gathering of developers, private equity leaders, architects, investors, brokers, contractors, and innovators shaping the skyline and economic future of South Florida.

Set against the refined backdrop of the Miami Design District, the evening embodied elegance, discretion, and excellence. RED Awards continues to distinguish itself as more than a ceremony — it is a private leadership platform designed to recognize visionaries and cultivate meaningful, long-term industry relationships at the highest level.

A Rigorous, Merit-Based Selection Process

What sets RED Awards apart is its unwavering commitment to integrity and merit.

Each year, RED Awards receives hundreds of nominations from across the residential, commercial, hospitality, mixed-use, and prop-tech sectors. These nominations come from industry peers, professionals, and qualified submissions throughout the year.

Final honorees are selected by a 20-member Advisory Board composed of respected industry leaders, developers, executives, and experts representing multiple disciplines within real estate. The board carefully reviews every nomination, evaluating measurable impact, innovation, leadership, financial performance, execution quality, and long-term contribution to the industry.

Every award is earned — never purchased, never arbitrary, and never based on popularity alone. The process is structured, confidential, and rooted in credibility. RED Awards ensures that each recognition reflects true industry achievement and upholds the highest standards of legitimacy.

This disciplined approach has positioned RED Awards as one of the most trusted and respected platforms honoring excellence in real estate.
