Project Awards
Government & Infrastructure
Project of the Year
What are the most outstanding public sector works and who is responsible for them? This Award can apply to civic centres, government-run schools and hospitals, RTA centres and advice hubs, as well as transport initiatives involving highways or modes of mobility themselves. A high premium will be given to projects with a high quotient of sustainability, whether across the materials themselves, the procurement process, the working practices used in the build or the power sources and connectivity of the final structure.
Residential & Commercial
Project of the Year
At a time when the residential sector is experiencing a record boom, what are the projects that captivate hearts and minds and set new standards of living accommodation – whether the new generation of ‘uber-villas’ or well-equipped and landscaped apartment complexes? Alongside these in the real estate mix, what are the best office developments, which reflect the post-Covid era with strong modulation of workspaces and the new, marked tendency towards open-planning and hot-desking?
Retail & Public Facilities
Project of the Year
In an environment that places such a high premium on retail (which is the second-highest source of revenue in the GCC), what is the project that best captures the significance of the sector and best displays the appeal of the retailer mix, while providing the most user-friendly ergonomics for visitors and shoppers? What environment most successfully captures footfall and brings new international landmarks to the sector? A high premium will be given to projects with a high quotient of sustainability.

Who las led market growth, company expansion, M&A activity or manufacturing or service innovation?
