North West developers encouraged to enter awards for regeneration

North West developers playing a major part in the region’s regeneration are being urged to showcase and celebrate their efforts for this year’s North West Property Awards (NWPAs).

As towns and cities continue to undergo a notable transformation, many local businesses have contributed considerably to the extensive redevelopment programmes.

To commend their investment and dedication, developers are being encouraged to demonstrate their incredible work on a wider scale by entering the prestigious awards, in particular the ‘Regeneration award’.

This category looks for projects which have had a positive impact on the physical or environmental quality of a deprived place or the economic or social well-being of its community, including benefitting other businesses in the area.

The NWPAs was established 14 years ago and recognises the commercial and residential property sector across the whole of the North West.

At the ceremony last year, housebuilder Countryside received the Regeneration Award for its Highfield Green development just outside Kirkby town centre. The site is set amidst a backdrop of over 30-acres of surrounding parkland, which is being regenerated to feature football areas and facilities for recreational activity, making them ideal for families and couples alike.

One of the founders of the NWPAs, Kim O’Brien commented: “So many towns and cities are being transformed back into bustling communities and this has a lot do with local developers believing in these areas and wanting to bring them back to life.

“We are looking to shine the spotlight on these innovative projects which have helped put the areas back on the map.”

The awards are free to enter and open to all residential and commercial property developers, agents and professionals.

There are 12 categories ranging from the ‘Best commercial scheme’ to ‘Best new home development’ as well as two new categories; the ‘community’ and ‘innovation’ awards.

Deadline for entries is Friday 25 June and the glittering awards ceremony will take place on 11 October at Lutyens Crypt, Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral.
