Utrecht, 8 July 2004
De Resident nominated for prestigious FGH Real Estate
Award 2004
On Tuesday 6 July 2004, the jury of experts selected four projects
from the twenty originally submitted for the 2004 FGH Real Estate Award.
A winner will be chosen from these four nominees on Monday 8 November
2004. The award, which is given every two years for outstanding entrepreneurship
in the Dutch commercial real estate market, will be presented at a ceremony
in the Beatrix Theatre in Utrecht.
The nominees are (in alphabetical order):
- Klanderij shopping centre in Enschede
Initiator/developer: Foruminvest & Prowinko Groep - Redevelopment of the De Ommelanden factory complex in Groningen
Initiator/developer: Brivec B.V. - De Resident, inner city development in The Hague
Initiator/developer: MAB B.V. & Bouwfonds Property Finance B.V. - Redevelopment of the ’t Sas residential and shopping area
in Breda
Initiator: the construction company Maas-Jacobs B.V.
The jury of independent experts nominated the above projects after two
rounds of intensive assessments. The eight members of the jury represent
leading organisations from the various specialist areas in the commercial
real estate sector.
The FGH Real Estate Award rewards outstanding initiatives in the real
estate market. The award recognises initiative-takers who show outstanding
courage, vision and entrepreneurship in the execution of real estate projects.
In making its decision the jury also considered the extent to which the
initiatives demonstrate sound project economics and a responsible approach
to risk-taking. In addition, criteria such as architecture and social
impact played a role in determining the final selection.
FGH Bank, the real estate bank, launched the FGH Real Estate Award in
1989. This year the now prestigious award will be presented for the eighth
time. Any Dutch real estate can be submitted for the award if it comes
into use in the two years preceding the year in which the award is presented
and has a floor area of at least 5,000 m2. Both new buildings and redevelopment
and renovation projects are eligible.
