The San Antonio-area real estate industry has become a bulwark of the region’s economy, creating 133,500 jobs, producing almost $36 billion in annual impact, and creating 1/7 of the area’s total economic output. That success was built on the shoulders of great leaders, including Philip M. Barshop, who was one of the industry’s most active and effective voices prior to his passing in November 1998.
Phil was responsible for establishing the San Antonio Chapter of the National Association of Industrial and Office Parks (NAIOP) in 1981. Under Phil’s leadership NAIOP was the voice for the commercial real estate industry until early 1991. When it became necessary for a more locally focused organization to be developed, Phil was an instrumental force in helping establish the Real Estate Council of San Antonio.
The Real Estate Council has established a fitting tribute to the man who is regarded as “founder” of our organization. The purpose of the Philip Barshop Founder’s Award is to honor those who carry forward Phil’s legacy of leadership, hard work, community involvement and advocacy for the real estate industry – attributes which are now more important than ever before.
