Semi-final results are now in for the upcoming EuropaProperty CEE Retail Real Estate Awards showcasing and recognising some of the most accomplished projects, companies, retailers and individuals from the region in 2019. Trumpeted as the retail sector’s most respected and prestigious awards celebration, the 12th edition will be attended by some of the industry’s leading firms and individuals, and will take place on February 6th 2020, at the Intercontinental Hotel in Warsaw, Poland.
“The number of nominations received illustrates the continuing optimism and importance of the retail sector in the region,” commented Craig Smith, Publisher of EuropaProperty and Organiser of the CEE Retail Real Estate Awards. “The sponsors, attendees and judges are senior level European or Central European directors, which affirms the CEE Retail Real Estate Awards as a true industry landmark event.”
A large number of retailers have been nominated this year accentuating the strength and depth of the region’s retail sector. “Retailer of the Year” awards will be given to retailers active throughout the region based on their market innovation, expansion, contribution to the market, market share, concept and design, and commercial success.
This year an array of different retail projects and formats from across the region have made the short-list and will compete for “Retail Project of the Year” awards in five different development categories. The projects selected all showcase innovative concepts including connectivity, design, architecture, and sustainability, as well as offer an immersive customer experience at their centre.
New for 2020 is the Ultimate Destination in Retail award – the only award of its kind presented to retail centres with the essential 4Fs formula or (F Factor) – Family, Food, Fun and Fashion – the essential retail ingredients for today’s modern, successful and best income-generating retail destinations in the CEE region. This new category will highlight today’s shopping centres that have truly transformed into contemporary destinations where visitors can meet with their families and friends for the latest and most innovative entertainment and leisure, multiple and varied dining, and an extensive range of shopping options with the most relevant fashion stores and retailers that every retail destination now needs to cater for the modern day consumer.
“Company of the Year” awards will be presented to the leading developer, investor, bank, consultant/letting agent, asset management firm, professional service provider, law firm, property management firm, and tax & financial adviser in Central and Eastern Europe for activities and accomplishments during 2019. Companies are judged on their overall market contribution, quality of customer services, market innovation, commercial success, leadership and market penetration
Awards will also be given to the “Overall Retailer of the Year” in addition to “Overall Professional of the Year.”
