Kajima’s 2022 award successes

Kajima rounded out 2022 on a high note with a series of award wins and shortlist placements. The Living team took home two awards, winning 'Best Residential Project' at the CEE Investment Awards in Poland for the BTR scheme in Gdansk and taking home the prize for 'Best International Operator' at the Student Accommodation Awards. Meanwhile, the Workspace team's Coleman Street project was shortlisted in the NLA Awards 'Retrofit' category.

The 'Best Residential Project' award at the CEE Investment Awards recognised Kajima's first modular build-to-rent scheme in Gdansk, Poland. Developed in a joint venture with Tonsa and Olivia Business Centre, the scheme comprises a 3,185 sqm site featuring a range of units from studios to three-bedroom apartments. The CEE Investment Awards is recognised as one of the most important and valuable real estate events in Central and Eastern Europe.

The Student Depot team won 'Best International Operator' at the Student Accommodation Awards, recognising the brand's network of operational student housing developments in Poland. In October 2022, construction was completed on the 795-bed Student Depot dormitory in Kraków. The 11-storey, 25,000 sqm building took just 17 months to construct, making it one of the fastest large-scale residential developments, including fit-out, completed in Poland.

77 Coleman Street is an 83,000 sq ft office-led development designed by architecture firm Buckley Gray Yeoman. Previously seen as a dated 1980s office, the extensive transformation has established a new presence on Coleman Street. The development has created 16,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space and is home to tenants including Clays, Amundi, Loomis, Sayles & Company, Cleveland Clinic London and Dartbrooke Coffee. The New London Awards celebrate all scales of projects, from community-led to large-scale mixed-use developments, both built and unbuilt, that contribute to creating a more sustainable, civilised, and level London.
