Virginia Beach, Va.—The Breeden Company, the nationally recognized Virginia Beach-based real estate development firm, announced the winners of its Sixth Annual Employee of the Year Awards. Historically, one Breeden team member is chosen each year. Due to company growth and employee excellence, the top honor was given this year to three team members.
