CALTHORPE ESTATES WIN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE YEAR AWARD
Property developers and investors Calthorpe Estates scooped the prestigious ‘Sustainable Development of the Year’ award at the annual West Midlands Insider Property Awards for their £2.2 million office scheme, 19 George Road in Edgbaston.
The 12,545 sq ft development, designed by 3DReid, won the category for its exceptional green credentials. The scheme incorporated some of the latest requirements for a sustainable building including high levels of insulation, ‘fresh cooling’ energy conservation measures and a kalzip roofing system and had already been awarded Birmingham’s first BREEAM* rating of ‘excellent’ for an office building earlier this year.
Over 800 of the Midlands’ leading property professionals gathered to celebrate the best new commercial developments undertaken in the UK over the past 12 months.
David Povall, Commercial Director at Calthorpe Estates said: “This is another outstanding achievement for 19 George Road, which has already received many industry accolades. It is a great example of our commitment to sustainability, which has been at the heart of Calthorpe Estates for nearly three centuries, and has set the benchmark for commercial schemes within Birmingham.”
