urbanest were awarded ESG Developer of the Year and New-Build Project of the Year for urbanest Battersea, in collaboration with Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, at Property Week’s ESG Edge Awards.

The ESG Edge awards recognise achievements in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices within the property industry. The awards celebrate organisations who are making outstanding contributions to ESG in areas like sustainability, community engagement, and good governance.

Winning both Developer of the Year and New-Build Project of the Year highlights urbanest’s credentials as a sustainable developer and operator beyond just the Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) sector, but in the property industry as a whole.

The judges noted urbanest’s achievements in meaningful social and environmental impact and commitment, showcased through our commitment to Passivhaus design principles and BREEAM Outstanding certification at urbanest Battersea, as well as social initiatives that are designed to give back to our local communities, as well as the unique artwork installations, designed to encourage sustainable living practices and evoke positive societal impact.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the planning, construction, and current operation of urbanest Battersea, as well as the planning, construction and preparation for the mobilisation of urbanest Canary Wharf.
