But the inspirational projects have a common aim: they are all delivering sustainable value. Property investors and owners are seeing improved return on investment and reduced operating costs. Occupants are enjoying healthier, more comfortable indoor environments and more productive workplaces. Our environment benefits from these projects’ responsible use of natural resources. These are quite simply better properties to buy, own, live and work in. Congratulations to all winners and to all those shortlisted.'
