The stage is set for the highly anticipated 20th edition of the SEE Real Estate Awards, celebrating excellence in the dynamic Southeastern European property market. This prestigious event will take place on April 3, 2025, at the iconic Intercontinental Athenee Palace Hotel in Bucharest, Romania, bringing together the region’s most influential industry leaders and innovators.
Reflecting on the remarkable number of nominations received, Craig Smith, founder and publisher of EuropaProperty, highlights the strength and resilience of the region’s commercial real estate sector. Despite recent challenges, the SEE market continues to demonstrate robust economic growth and investment potential.
The traditional lead-up to the 20th Annual SEE Real Estate Awards will kick off with a full day of insightful discussions and expert panels covering key sectors of the regional property market. Industry leaders from office, retail, warehouse, residential, investment, and energy sectors will explore and debate the most pressing issues and emerging trends shaping the future of the region and its business development.
With commercial real estate experiencing a strong resurgence across Romania and the SEE region, this year’s awards gala is set to be a defining moment. Investors and developers—both local and international—are turning their focus to Romania, where renewed economic momentum presents compelling opportunities, albeit with measured risks compared to more mature CEE markets.
As anticipation builds, top industry players will compete across key sectors—including office, retail, warehouse, and residential—for the industry’s highest honours. The winners will be selected by an esteemed panel of senior European and Central European executives, reinforcing the event’s reputation as a benchmark of excellence.
Following an extensive and independent selection process, the semi-finalists have now been shortlisted from a competitive pool of over 300 nominees. With the showdown approaching, the spotlight is firmly on the trailblazers shaping the future of SEE real estate.
