The 2024 Houston’s Best PRISM Awards, hosted by the GHBA Sales & Marketing Council (SMC), turned heads and dropped jaws as it brought the glitz and glamor of the Met Gala to Houston on October 5 at The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston. With attendees dressed to the nines, the night was nothing short of haute couture for the homebuilding industry. Themed “A Tribute to the Met Gala,” the evening was a red-carpet affair where Houston’s builders, developers, remodelers, and associates strutted their stuff, showcasing their finest achievements. Like the fashion elite of New York’s famed Met steps, the PRISM Awards celebrated those who are en vogue in the world of homebuilding, honoring the most fashion-forward projects and professionals in the industry.
Hosted by Kevin England, known as Special K from 104 KRBE, the evening was filled with humor and lighthearted moments, as he brought his unique charm to the stage. England, with ties to the homebuilding industry, was enthusiastic about mingling with guests and highlighting the night’s grandeur, even joking about issuing “fashion police” tickets.
GHBA President Matthew Reibenstein and Sales and Marketing Council President Shirmel Gumbs-Heyliger kicked off the event by recognizing the evening’s generous sponsors, with a special thanks to James Hardie Building Products, presenting sponsor of the evening’s festivities.
