Worldwide business awards
Tell the world about your outstanding work in real estate
The DaVinci Awards® for Business celebrates innovation, excellence, and transformation within the global real estate industry. Here we recognize the organizations, teams or individuals who are influencing how properties are designed, developed, financed, managed, and experienced in the modern world. Whether specializing in residential or commercial property, or an innovative PropTech provider, if you’re leading the industry you could earn yourself an award.
how have you excelled?
Once seen as a traditional, bricks-and-mortar sector, the real estate industry is experiencing a boom in innovation – driven by technology, sustainability initiatives, and changing expectations on how people live, work, and interact with buildings and structures.
The DaVinci Awards® for Business are looking to recognize and reward the real estate initiatives that demonstrate innovation, from concept to execution, from those in property development, planning, architecture, asset management, property financing or technology partners.
Nominees may have re-imagined an underused space, revitalized a heritage site, improved community engagement, or created more equitable access to housing. Equally the judges are keen to see innovation in use of data or technology, to drive change in financing methodologies, portfolio management, or property sales & marketing.
The awards welcomes nominations across a broad scope of use cases in real estate. Whether you focus on the physical or digital, from construction to customer experience, The DaVinci Awards® is ready to certify your expertise.

Think about:
Whether your innovation has increased occupancy rates, improved tenant satisfaction, or reduced operating costs? Whether you have achieved energy savings, emissions reductions, or met other ESG requirements.

Think about:
How the use of technology or data has driven how spaces are conceived, constructed, and managed? Has the customer, tenant, investor, or other stakeholder experience been elevated through technology?
