The final deadline for nominations at the 8th annual SEE Real Estate Awards, South-Eastern Europe’s premier awards event, has been set for mid April 2013. Building on the success of the last seven SEE Real Estate Awards, EuropaProperty is expecting a large crowd at this year’s event, which is being held at the 5 Star Athenee Palace Hilton Hotel in Bucharest, Romania, on May 16th.

As an acknowledgment of the growing interest in, and significance of, the commercial real estate and related industries in South-Eastern Europe, from both a development and investment prospective, the event covers Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, the Republic of Moldova and Albania.

Awards are presented for companies, projects and professionals operating in the region. Furthermore, for the fourth time, EuropaProperty is introducing the SEE Green Building Awards. In addition, for the third year, there will be four new Retailer of the Year Awards including Overall and Newcomer of the Year Awards.

An independent jury of real estate professionals will vote on all nominations two months before the event. The nominations with the highest scores will be put on the short list, which is then published for the public and press.

For transparency, independent audit and accounting company Ernst & Young administers, calculates and audits all results from the final vote.

Also, to complement the eighth annual SEE Real Estate Awards Gala, EuropaProperty is organizing a series of discussion panels which will provide a current analysis of the rapidly developing markets of South-Eastern Europe from the perspective of commercial real estate investors, developers, and consultants active in the SEE region, in addition to offering the opportunity to meet and network with leading market players.

The panel discussions will examine the office, retail, industrial, hotel/leisure and investment markets of Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Serbia. The schedule includes morning and afternoon networking coffee breaks, lunch and a closing cocktail reception.
