On Tuesday July 6, 2004 the jury of the FGH Vastgoedprijs (Real Estate Award) has selected four projects out of twenty entries that are nominated for the FGH Vastgoedprijs 2004. On Monday 8 November, 2004 the jury will announce the winning project. The FGH Vastgoedprijs is a bi-annual award for distinguishing entrepreneurship in the Dutch commercial real estate market.

The above mentioned projects were nominated by the independent jury after two intensive selection rounds. The eight members of the jury represent leading organizations in different fields within the commercial real estate market. Furthermore the jury considered the extent of a healthy project economy and a well-thought out project risk. Other criteria in the jury’s selection were the architecture and the social impact of the project.

All Dutch real estate objects that have been delivered prior to the year of distribution and have a surface of at least 5,000 m² can enter the competition.
