The KPMG Irish Independent Property Industry Excellence Awards set the benchmark for professionalism and showcase the best that industry stakeholders have to offer.
The awards remain a beacon of excellence within the Irish property industry, championing innovation, sustainability, and exceptional performance. This year the programme was updated with new categories and criteria to better represent the diverse landscape of the Irish property industry. Through this adaption, the Property Industry Excellence Awards programme encourages wider participation and ensures that outstanding achievements are recognised at all levels.
The 2024 awards are now open for entries.

Sustainability
Sustainability remains a governing theme for the 2024 awards.
The awards program honours targeted actions undertaken by industry stakeholders to improve environmental credentials and address local and global sustainability challenges that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal #9 (Industry Innovation & Infrastructure), Goal #11 (Sustainable Cities & Communities), and Goal #13 (Climate Action).
The prestigious "Sustainable Ireland Property Award" will be presented as the overall judges' award, honouring exceptional contributions to sustainability in the property sector.
