The world’s best development projects have been honoured in Cannes.
MIPIM, the world’s largest international real estate event, has revealed 11 winners of the MIPIM Awards, a globally renowned real estate competition for completed or yet to be built projects around the world.
This year, the jury focused on projects that seek to enhance the built environment’s prospects, in line with ESG goals.

The winners were selected by both the jury’s and MIPIM registered delegates’ votes, cast online and on site. The jury, chaired by François Trausch, CEO & CIO of PIMCO Prime Real Estate, shortlisted 40 of the projects from 20 countries for the final ceremony in the Palais de Festivals in Cannes. In addition, the jury has awarded one additional prize – the ‘Special Jury Award’, which went to their favorite project this year, ESR Higashi Ogishima Distribution Centre in Kawasaki, Japan.

MIPIM Awards Jury Chairman, François Trausch, said: “The judges were highly impressed by the significant strides made in sustainability across the majority of the projects presented at one of the world’s most well regarded real estate competitions. With so many outstanding entries, selecting only 11 winners proved to be a challenging task for the judges of MIPIM Awards.”
