As pandemic and its related restrictions have unfortunately twice forced us to postpone the event, a third date has now been set for the annual Eurobuild Awards 2020. With the gradual lifting of the restrictions and the acceleration of the vaccination programme, we have every confidence that this will be the final time we have to reschedule the ceremony, and so the winners can finally be announced at this most important event for the CEE real estate market.
Sadly, due to the continuing global situation, we will not be able to meet on March 25th to announce the results of the Eurobuild Awards and to present the awards to the highest achieving companies in the commercial real estate sector.
Today, on December 8th, the 11th Eurobuild Awards ceremony was originally scheduled to take place in its intended form.
We can now unveil the composition of the jury for the Eurobuild Awards 2020, which has recently evaluated this year’s candidates –all the companies and projects that were nominated in the Awards’ 24 categories.
The first stage of the preparations for the 11th Eurobuild Awards is now behind us – with the completion of the registration process for companies and projects in 24 categories.
Each year Eurobuild has the privilege to pick out a select few who have stood out from other players on the real estate market and nominate them for the Personality of the Year in Commercial Real Estate Award. So who are this year’s candidates, what’s their recipe for success and what has paved their way on the road to the summit?
This is also the year to recognise the achievements of Przemo Łukasik. In the last few months, the architect, who founded the Medusa Group studio, stunned the world with the design for the Nobu Hotel in Warsaw – a unique, visionary combination of tradition and modernity, but also one that has seamlessly fitted an international brand into a local context.
Also nominated for our Personality of the Year is Radosław T. Krochta, for his key role in the rapid growth of MLP Group, which in a short time has built up a warehouse portfolio across Poland and abroad.
This year Barbara Topolska, the Poland country manager of CPI Property Group, has also been nominated for the award. We’ve nominated her for developing and implementing the growth strategy of CPI Property Group in Poland, one of the most active investors in the office market, with its own innovative approach to managing its property portfolio.
Among those nominated there’s also someone from the retail sector – Jacek Wesołowski, the managing director of Trei Real Estate.
The next nomination that we’re going to look at is Artur Sutor, for his role in establishing Cresa Polska, a company that he has grown prodigiously to join the ranks of the premier advisories – as well as for his achievements in redefining what a real estate consultancy can actually be.
Let's meet another of the nominees for the title of Real Estate Personality of the Year. In April it was revealed that Krzysztof Misiak had been appointed as the new director of the Polish branch of international consultancy Cushman & Wakefield.
Each year Eurobuild has the privilege to pick out a select few who have stood out from other players on the real estate market and nominate them for the Personality of the Year in Commercial Real Estate Award. So who are this year’s candidates, what’s their recipe for success and what has paved their way on the road to the summit?
We would like to thank everyone who has already submitted their nominations for the competition or their applications to sit on the Eurobuild Awards 2020 jury. However, due to being inundated with such requests, we are extending the deadline for accepting nominations and jury applications until November 6th, when the online registration system will finally close at 12 noon.
Have you developed a commercial building in the last twelve months? Then allow it to be judged by top market experts in the competition for Building of the Year in one of six categories for four real estate sectors!
As usual, this year Eurobuild will be honouring the best developers who are active in Poland and the Central and Eastern European region. We’re looking for the real stars of the sector!
Since its very beginning, the feature of the Eurobuild Awards that has made it stand out has been its large and prestigious group of jurors. So once again we are inviting the most eminent people on the real estate market to sit on the jury!
Have you been anxiously waiting for this? Because we have! The nomination process for the 11th Eurobuild Awards is now underway! As usual, the winners will be announced at the Eurobuild Gala in December!
The aim of the Eurobuild Awards is to promote the key players of the real estate sector by recognising their achievements. Our long-term goal is also to bring together people and corporations who passionately believe in the development of the real estate market who have already had a real influence on the changes taking place in the sector. However, as the world moves on it’s time to take another step.
POLAND Even though Christmas is just around the corner, for the final time we would like to take one last look back at the Eurobuild Awards Gala, which took place on December 3rd. After all, a 10th anniversary celebration doesn’t come around that often!
