Shortlist announced for Michelmores’ prestigious Property Awards 2024

The highly-regarded Michelmores Property Awards are returning in 2024, marking 21 years of celebrating the South West’s best property, development and construction projects.

The shortlisted projects have now been announced for the Awards – a high-profile, sell-out event with around 450 individuals in attendance – to celebrate outstanding property and construction projects in Bristol, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.

This year’s Awards received 63 nominations across 11 categories, with our panel of nine expert judges visiting each project and reviewing the applications during judging day. Our judging panel were faced with some exceptionally difficult decisions while narrowing down the shortlist this year and judging day included some long and lively debates around which projects should make it through.

Having long championed sustainability and innovation, the Awards place social, environmental, sustainable and economic values at the heart of their judging criteria – with these attributes considered just as important as a project’s aesthetics and purpose.

Regarded as among the most coveted accolades in the region, Michelmores’ 2024 Property Awards will include a new category reflecting the industry’s aim to reduce carbon and waste. The Regeneration Project of the Year category will showcase projects that involved work of significant refurbishment, retrofitting, regeneration or transformation value on an existing property or brownfield site, giving it a new lease of life and an environmentally efficient future.

The Michelmores Property Awards were established in 2002 and celebrate the very best construction and real estate projects taking place each year in the South West – from the most prestigious and exciting, to the truly innovative and daring.

Emma Honey, Head of Property at Michelmores said:

“Congratulations to all of the projects shortlisted in the Michelmores Property Awards 2024. As we celebrate the 21st year of the Awards, the quality of the projects in the region is higher than ever and highlight the creativity and commitment of those working in the sector.
