Three features of the Sustainable Development of the Year

Sustainability has become a primary focus for developers all over the world; as the need for environmental consciousness becomes ever more crucial, we’re looking to reward the incredible work of the region’s most impressive developers. 

At the Thames Valley Property Awards 2024, we’ll be naming the Sustainable Development of the Year. Sponsored by Diales, this award will be presented to a truly innovative development completed within the region during the qualifying period. 

This category highlights the sustainability credentials of a property – whether commercial or residential – from biodiversity to wellbeing, and from energy use to the impact on transportation. 

But with so many developments being worked on within the Thames Valley every single day, what will the winner look like? Here are three features that we’ll expect to see in a successful candidate: 

Energy efficient 

When it comes to sustainability within the property sector, energy efficiency has an enormous role to play. Not only should your final product be green in nature, but you should be being mindful of your energy expenditure throughout every stage of the development process. 

Meeting occupier demands 

Though it’s great to have created your overall development through environmentally friendly methods and innovative practices, it’s no good if you haven’t met the needs of the occupiers. Whether your development fits within the realm of residential or commercial, our independent judges are looking for a nominated property that satisfies the needs of the client. 

Minimal impact on the environment 

A truly sustainable development is one that works with the environment and not against it. A clear feat of mastery within the property sector is the ability to suit your development to the surrounding area. Producing a regionally impactful development while keeping your impact on the environment to a minimum will be instrumental to taking home the trophy. 

So, do you think you know the Sustainable Development of the Year? Have you been part of a project worthy of recognition at the Thames Valley Property Awards 2024?
