Commercial Developer of the Year
Winner Priority Sites
Priority Sites impressed the judges with the geographic spread of their developments and their contribution to the region and particularly the deep South West. It was noted that they often delivered in what were seen as ‘hard markets’ but always seemed to pull it off. Deeley Freed, in particular, ran them close with a different kind of development: Portwell Place in Bristol, which has been dubbed Bristol’s first ‘super-office’.

Sustainable Development of the Year
Winner Littlecombe Business Park, Gloucestershire

Property Personality of the Year
Winner Bob de Barr
Bob de Barr needs little introduction. The main force behind the delivery of Cabot Circus, he is the founder director of the Bristol Alliance that has been working on Cabot Circus since it was just an idea and a few drawings. It has taken only eight years since the alliance was formed for the scheme to be completed, which sounds a long time – but not when you stop to consider what has been involved.
