Cedar House Investments, one of the region's most proactive
developers, has scooped the title of Property Company of the Year
at the 2009 regional Estates Gazette Awards.
The Pride Park-based firm won the award for the East Midlands
and now joins the seven other regional winners on the contender
list for the National Property Adviser of the Year Award.
Awards for Property Adviser of the Year and Property Company of
the Year were presented to winners across eight different regions.
Cedar House Investments were presented with their accolade at an
award ceremony held at Opus Restaurant in Birmingham in the
presence of the region's leading property professionals.
The winners were nominated by the Estates Gazette editorial team
and voted for by Estates Gazette readers.
Now in its fifth year, the prestigious Estates Gazette awards
bring together some of the most influential decision makers in the
property community, including advisers, developers, planners,
investors, owners, occupiers and the public sector. The editorial
team compiled the regional list of companies and advisors in
February and more than 4,000 votes were cast throughout
March.
Voting for the ten national awards is now open until the end of
June. The companies with the most votes in each category will make
the final shortlist and the overall winners will be selected by a
judging panel comprising of industry experts.
The winners will be announced at a glittering awards ceremony,
which is taking place in September at the Grosvenor House Hotel in
London.
With a portfolio totalling more than £75 million, Cedar
House Investments remains at the forefront of the property
development industry and its diverse schemes have attracted many
high profile businesses.
Commenting on the award, managing director Chris Carlisle
said: "Cedar House Investments has built its reputation
on its ability to identify superior development opportunities and
deliver striking, sustainable schemes and we are particularly
delighted to have been recognised for our achievements with the
title Property Company of the Year for the East Midlands during
this challenging economic climate'.
"We look forward to battling it out with developers from across
the UK for the national title in September," added Chris.
Cedar House Investments' development programme extends across
the Midlands and includes high profile sites in Ashby, Rugby,
Corby, Tamworth and Stoke-on-Trent, along with the redevelopment of
the 35 acre former Nestlé site in Ashbourne.
The company is also transforming the five hectare former
Bombardier bogie works on Pride Park in Derby in a £50
million mixed use development.
