About the Awards
BRICS Best Property Awards

The world’s only awards programme dedicated to recognising outstanding real estate projects across the BRICS countries. It celebrates excellence in architecture, infrastructure, residential development and placemaking.

The awards provide Russian developers with a platform for international recognition and access to a broader professional community at a time when participation in some established international competitions remains challenging.
A national showcase on the international stage
1 | 4
Russian projects are assessed not only within the domestic market but also against international benchmarks for quality, architecture, ESG, economic performance and the urban environment.
"Best in BRICS" status
2 | 4
Participants gain a clear and compelling statement for marketing, sales, PR and customer communications: the project has been recognised as one of the best by an international panel of industry experts
Assessment beyond the domestic professional community
3 | 4
Projects are assessed by a panel of Russian and international experts, which enhances the independence of the process and the credibility of the outcome.
Transparent rules and meaningful recognition
4 | 4
Winners are selected using a formalised methodology: awards cannot be secured through payment, and neither partnership nor sponsorship influences the vote. This protects the reputational value of winning.
