EYA, through its various development affiliates, has been recognized with over 300 major awards since 1992—more awards than any other builder in the Washington Metropolitan Area during the same time period. EYA neighborhoods have not only been recognized locally, but have been honored with some of the most prestigious national awards for community design and livability.
The Laureate has been awarded the 2024 Jack Kemp Award for Excellence in Affordable and Workforce Housing. Presented by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Terwilliger Center for Housing, this national award recognizes exemplary developments that demonstrate innovation and creativity in expanding affordable and workforce housing opportunities.
EYA has proudly been named America's Best Builder not once, but twice. In 2009, judges applauded EYA's commitment to distinctive home design, building in locations offering life within walking distance®, and industry-leading results in homebuyer willingness-to-refer.
EYA is a three-time winner of the ULI Jack Kemp Award for Excellence in Affordable and Workforce Housing (2024, 2019, 2010), as well as a finalist in 2014. This highlights EYA’s expertise and commitment to creating best-in-class mixed-income communities through innovative public-private partnerships.
In 2023, EYA Co-Founders Bob Youngentob & Terry Eakin were inducted into the Best in American Living (BALA) Hall of Fame. As a local builder, it is especially notable that Bob and Terry were selected for this national recognition for demonstrating their talents through advocacy, innovation, creativity, and residential design excellence.
