The Construction Owners Association of America (COAA) 2011 Project Leadership Award Program gold award winner is Miami International Airport's north terminal. It is COAA's highest honor.
According to the COAA, the Project Leadership Award is an annual awards program that recognizes owner's excellence in project delivery. The Project Leadership Award program promotes leadership, professionalism and management excellence of owners involved in the design and construction process. The awards are open to both public and private owners who do not have to be members of COAA, and are open to renovation and new construction projects from any industry and of any size.
Projects nominated for the Project Leadership Award must have been completed and available for occupancy between January 1, 2010 and the nomination deadline of August 31, 2011.
