We’re delighted to announce that last week Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park won one of the top prizes at the MIPIM Awards 2015 – the Special Jury Award, for the judges’ favourite project of those shortlisted.

The international awards honour the most outstanding and accomplished real estate projects from around the world, with winners being chosen by a combination of scoring from a high profile judging  panel, and votes from the delegates of MIPIM, the world’s leading property market, held in France every year. Judges included Louise Brooke-Smith, President of RICS; Elżbieta Bieńkowska, European Commissioner for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs; and Sergey Kuznetsov, Chief Architect of the City of Moscow.

Other winners on the night included Boulevard Euromediterrannee – Marseille’s new waterfront, and the Oxygen Eco-Tower in Jakarta. 

London Legacy Development Corporation would like to thank our partners in the transformation of the Park from a Games-time venue to a stunning park and new heart for east London: Erect Architects with LUC landscape architect; James Corner Field Operations with Make Architects; MACE; LDA Design with Hargreaves Associates; Atkins; Arup; Buro Four; BAM Nuttall; Balfour Beatty; Lagan; H.
