Join us for an exclusive fireside chat with 2026 Future Place Legends Award Honoree, David O’Reilly, CEO of Howard Hughes Communities.

The Builder Legends Award honors those whose careers have been dedicated to the development of first-class communities.  Leaders whose vision, innovation, and impact have helped shape the future of master-planned communities.

David O’Reilly and the Howard Hughes team have demonstrated what thoughtful, long-term community building can achieve across a portfolio of communities that have shaped their markets, enhanced daily life, and created lasting value over time.

Don’t miss a candid conversation with David on the mainstage at Future Place, where he’ll share lessons from leading some of the nation’s most successful master-planned communities (Summerlin, The Woodlands, Bridgeland, and soon-to-be Teravalis) and discuss what it takes to create places that stand the test of time.

Past winners include: Syd Kitson (Babcock Ranch), Adrian Foley (Brookfield), Rex Jensen (Lakewood Ranch), Fred Balda (Hillwood Communities), Larry Johnson (Johnson Development), Emile Haddad (FivePoint Holdings),
