Cedar House Investments, one of the region's most proactive developers, has scooped the title of Property Company of the Year at the 2010 regional Estates Gazette Awards for the successive year.

The Pride Park-based firm, which has won the East Midlands for the last two years, will now join the seven other regional winners on the contender list for the National Property Adviser of the Year Award.

Cedar House Investments were presented with their accolade at an award ceremony on 24th June 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 seventh 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 and more than 6,000 votes were cast throughout March by Estates Gazette readers. 

Voting for the ten national awards will open on 12 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 at London's Hilton Hotel on Park Lane on the 22nd November 2010.

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, Peter Gadsby, Chairman of Cedar House Investments, said:

"Cedar House Investments has built its reputation on its ability to identify superior development opportunities and deliver striking, sustainable schemes and we are delighted to have been recognised for the second year running. 

"It is particularly gratifying to be recognised for our achievements with the title of 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."

Chris Carlisle, Managing Director of Cedar House Investments, added: 

"In these difficult times our programme is extremely active as we look forward to another successful year."

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.
