Best Major Regeneration of an Historic Building or Place - Over £1million

Best Major Regeneration of an Historic Building or Place – Over £1million

This award will recognise projects that have seen large scale investment, put into saving, rescuing or regenerating a building or place. This is to award best practice and could be awarded to a team that has given a new lease of life to a building by innovative or sympathetic reuse.

The type of building or place does not matter as long as it is historic – that is, over 30 years old, located in Northern Ireland. Ideally we ask that the building or place appears on a recognised heritage register. The building or place does not have to be listed or scheduled; it could be part of a conservation area or a local building of significant interest. This award will also recognise archaeological sites, projects involving parks and gardens. This award may recognise buildings removed from the Heritage at Risk register, though prior inclusion on the register is not essential.

This may be awarded to an individual who has led on a project within a large organisation or the organisation as a whole. Applications are open to private firms, local authorities, building practices, planners, developers and architects. All sizes and types of rescue projects are eligible, as long as the total value is in excess of £1 million, and the project has been completed within the last 10 years.
