Organised by UK property magazine Property Week in association with the Irish Independent and the Belfast Telegraph, the annual Irish Property Awards are one of the most prestigious awards ceremonies for the property and development industry in Ireland.

The company received the award for its work on the Dongtan Eco-city in China. When it has been completed, Dongtan Eco-city will include approx 4.2 million sq m of mixed accommodation, constructed on a site of some 1,000 hectares. This major project effectively forms an entire new city suburb for Shanghai. Embracing the latest technologies, the development will also be a world leader in sustainable, environmentally responsible construction. The development will take place on Chongming Island, which is located off the northern coast of Shanghai at the mouth of the Yangtze River. The island will be linked to the mainland by a new 9 km tunnel together with a 13 km bridge, both currently under construction.
