Prime Property Awards zoom in on economic winners

Thirty-one real estate projects from around Europe are competing in the final round of Union Investment’s Prime Property Awards.

Over 160 projects from 19 countries were submitted in the first round of the 2012 Awards which are themed as ‘Recognising Leadership in Sustainability’.

The submissions are a mixture of new builds, refurbishments and existing use redevelopment completed between 2006 and 2011. The minimum size requirement is 5,000 m². Of the 160 initial entries, the jury subsequently selected 31 real estate projects from 12 countries for the second round.

The entrants range from a residential project in Berlin and the Crown Plaza Copenhagen Towers to the Bilbao Arena / Miribilla Sport complex and the Ropemaker Place office development in London.

A short list of 12 candidates will be drawn up at a meeting in Hamburg in August, with the winners unveiled at Union Investment’s Sustainable Investment Conference during the Expo Real fair in Munich on 9 October.

The full list of 31 finalists appears in the June edition of PropertyEU Magazine. Click on the link below to subscribe
