BRE announces winners of BREEAM Awards 2024
BRE has revealed the winners of its annual BREEAM Awards 2024 – a celebration of the projects and organisations leading the way in sustainable building design, development and management. These took place on Wednesday 10th July in London, bringing together the global built environment industry to celebrate achievements made in sustainable development and innovation.
BREEAM has been the world-leading sustainability assessment method for planning projects, infrastructure and buildings for over 30 years. There are now 2.33 million BREEAM-registered buildings across 102 countries, with 610,000 having received certification to date.
Among this year’s winners was HAUT Amsterdam – one of the tallest timber-hybrid buildings in the world – which took home the award for the Best New Construction for a Residential Project.
GRESB partnered with BREEAM, their eighth year working together, to recognise responsible investment in the built environment and the role that BREEAM plays in supporting ESG strategy. Taking home the GRESB Portfolio Integration & Commitment Award was KKR, whose BREEAM certification of 39 industrial and residential properties across the United States provided a clear roadmap for value creation and risk mitigation, strengthening KKR’s competitive edge and aligning with GRESB goals and broader sustainability commitments.
A major industrial unit and an iconic Tudor Street landmark, both in London, picked up the BREEAM Lifecycle Award and Best Refurbishment & Fit Out Project respectively. SEGRO’s 33,000 sq ft facility at 2 Auriol Drive became the first industrial refurbishment of its kind to achieve BREEAM Outstanding and is expected to receive an EPC A+ rating. Meanwhile, JRA’s reimagination of the Grade II listed Northcliffe building, maintaining its industrial heritage as a 1920s print works, saw it achieve BREEAM Outstanding.
Gillian Charlesworth, CEO of BRE, said: “We are thrilled to recognise some of the greatest sustainability achievements in the built environment at this year’s BREEAM Awards.
“Embracing science-based sustainability methodologies like BREEAM can deliver significant impacts for businesses, investors and for society as a whole. It is inspiring to see the innovative ways in which sustainability is being fostered and put front-and-centre across all our award winners and wider BREEAM scheme members.
“With our network of over 14,000 assessors ensuring rigorous sustainability practices across the globe, we look forward to continuing to drive net zero ambitions across the entire built environment.”

BRE maintains a range of products, services, standards and qualifications that are used around the world to bring about positive change in the built environment. Learn more at www.bregroup.com.
BREEAM is the world’s leading sustainability assessment methodology for master planning projects, infrastructure and buildings. It recognizes and reflects the value in higher performing assets across the built environment lifecycle, from new construction, through performance in operation, to refurbishment. BREEAM does this through third party certification of the assessment of an asset’s environmental, social and economic sustainability performance, using standards developed by BRE. This means BREEAM rated developments are more sustainable environments that enhance the well-being of the people who live and work in them, help protect natural resources and make for more attractive property investments.
