Scottish Property Awards winners revealed

THE winners of the Scottish Property Awards 2024 have been announced at a ceremony in Glasgow.

600 guests attended the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel for the event, hosted by comedian and presenter, Des Clarke.

Property Company of the Year, the ultimate award of the night, sponsored by Royal Bank of Scotland was presented to Winchburgh Developments. The judging panel praised the company for the way they have transformed an area, including a community hub, park, and new motorway junction that has opened up the area to new residents.

In Large Scale Commercial Development, Drum Property Group triumphed for its 10 Clyde Place, Buchanan Wharf project. The building aligns with UK Green Building Council Net Zero Carbon Buildings. Drum also collected a highly commended award for G3 Square, Glasgow, in Build to Rent Development of the year.

Hub South East & West Lothian Council won Small Development of the Year for Public Use Buildings for Beatlie School Campus. The Deal of the Year category, sponsored by PMP, was awarded to Ardersier Port, Inverness by Haventus, Quantum and Brodies. This was described as a transformational development that will have a positive impact on the local area and wider environment.

The Business Leadership Award was presented to Graeme Bone, MD, Drum Property Group. Over the past 30 years, Graeme has built Drum into an award-winning property, investment and management group delivering some of the largest projects in Scotland.

Alan Robertson, chair of the judging panel, said, “In an environment which many believe to have been the toughest for decades, it was encouraging to see some excellent progress being made, some critical deals still being completed, funding being secured, and thoughtful redevelopment and design work being progressed. Congratulations to all the winners and all the finalists for being showcased tonight.”
