Property Forum is excited to announce the shortlist of nominees for its annual SEE Property Forum Award Ceremony which celebrates the best projects, most impactful transactions and most inspiring personalities of the Romanian market.

Our list of nominees has been put together based on nominations submitted by market players and transactional data generously provided by iO Partners. This year we have received a record number of nominations - over 150 entries - making the job of our editorial team especially hard.
