Bob Worth, founder of the R.L. Worth & Associates commercial real estate firm, on Tuesday won the Philip M. Barshop Founder’s Award, which the Real Estate Council gives each year to an accomplished leader in the industry.
Worth is well-known for rehabilitating the ButterKrust bakery on Broadway and building the Quarry Heights office building on the North Side, among other projects. He has become one of San Antonio’s most prominent office developers over the last 30 years, said local developer Walter Embrey, who announced the award at a luncheon at the Pearl on Tuesday.
