Three ways to win the Commercial Development of the Year

The South Coast Property Awards 2025 are all about celebrating the best in commercial, retail and logistical property developments. Our independent judges look forward to receiving nominations concerning all the area’s most exciting builds.

At this year’s highly anticipated black-tie gala event, we’ll be naming the Commercial Development of the Year.

A successful commercial development combines strategic location, market demand, sustainable design, and effective financing. It requires thorough planning, risk management, and community integration.

Understanding tenant needs, offering amenities, and adapting to market trends are essential for long-term profitability and occupancy. Collaboration with stakeholders also ensures project success.

But with developments across the region eligible to become a winner at this year’s event, how can you give yourself the best possible chance of taking home the trophy?

Here are three things to focus on when filling in your nomination form:

Innovations in your build

We’re on the hunt for a project that stands out from the crowd. Our independent judges will be looking to single out nominees whose processes and end results show clear signs of innovation and excellence. When entering this year’s awards, shout about what makes your entry the definitive Commercial Development of the Year.

Your sustainability efforts

In today’s world of property, sustainability is the name of the game. With environmental consciousness at the forefront of everyone’s mind, we want to hear all about how you’ve gone the extra mile to integrate sustainability into every aspect of your development.

How you’ve brought your client’s vision to life

Commercial projects are carried out with a clear purpose in mind, with a client whose needs should be considered through every stage of the process. Whether you include glowing client testimonials or you’re able to explain how you optimised your build to fit your client’s desires, spare no detail when describing how you brought their vision to life.

With the nominations deadline for the South Coast Property Awards 2025 just three short days away, now is your last chance to seize this golden opportunity for you and your business.

We’re all set to shine a light on the region’s Young Property Person of the Year, Housebuilder of the Year, Commercial Landlord of the Year, Property Agency of the Year and more.
