ELITE PARTNERS

First round of voting confirms flight to quality, green on the rise

More than 300 award entries were processed by the jury in the first round of judging for the 2010 CEEQA awards.

For the full AWARDS SHORT LIST see below.

A gradual pick up in transactions, increased green building momentum and signs the development pipeline is starting to flow once more are the main themes among entries for this year's CEEQA awards. However the clearest imprint on the market is the extent to which the economic downturn did what it promised, concentrating what little money there was available on higher quality projects by larger and more experienced developers.

The winners of the awards for business performance and achievement in 2010, organised by CEE Insight Forum in association with the Financial Times, will be announced at the eighth annual CEEQA Gala & Industry Awards for emerging European real estate on 1st March at the Warsaw Marriott Hotel. The black tie ceremony and dinner, which sold out early this year, will be attended by more than 500 business leaders from more than 30 countries. 

This year's event will be hosted for the fourth time in a row by ever popular Polish television Monika Richardson and, with one of the strongest entertainment line ups ever, promises to be one to remember. The event is firmly established as sector's most important annual gathering and networking event, and one of the most in-demand real estate business events in Europe.

CEE MARKETS: Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine
SEE MARKETS: Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia

Carl Panattoni to receive Lifetime Achievement Award

Carl Panattoni, the founder, owner and Chairman of Panattoni Development Company and numerous business entities under the Panattoni brand, including Panattoni Construction and Panattoni Europe, will attend this year's CEEQA Gala & Industry Awards to receive the 2011 CEEQA award for Lifetime Achievement in Real Estate.

The award, sponsored by the Financial Times, will be presented at the annual CEEQA industry awards gala at the Warsaw Marriott Hotel on 1st March. It is given each year to an inspirational industry leader who has made a significant and durable contribution to the real estate business and to the emerging Europe real estate investment sector. We congratulate Panattoni on his significant achievements and look forward to welcoming him to the event. For more information go to CEEQA Lifetime Achievement.

It's all about the business case: the future of green building in CEE

THE GREEN DEBATE in CEE Real Estate: Demand for green certified buildings is on the rise, but what are the funds thinking?
1st March 9am-2.30pm, Warsaw Marriott Hotel

It's no longer simply about what we can do to save the planet. Despite the economic backdrop rapidly shifting occupier opinion, technical solutions delivering operational savings and looming public policy directives are all serving to harden the business case. The game changing question is how are the funds responding?

In the morning preceding the CEEQA Gala be sure not to miss the chance to join an outstanding cast of the sector's leading investors, innovators, thought leaders and business minds for a full frontal assessment of the challenges and opportunities on the road to deeper green. Presentations, panel discussions, hard hitting debate. TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE.
