OHMG Developments Short Listed For RICS Award

Two O’Hare & McGovern projects have been short-listed for the prestigious RICS Awards – Northern Ireland’s so-called property Oscars.

The Girdwood Community Hub in North Belfast, as well as the redevelopment of the new National Football Stadium at Windsor Park, are among 32 schemes across eight categories being considered by a judging panel.

The awards will be presented at a special ceremony at The La Mon Hotel & Spa, Belfast on May 25th.

All the category winners will then go on to compete against other regional winners at the national RICS Awards Grand Final in November.

The Girdwood Community Hub, a shared, vibrant and safe space contributing to peace and reconciliation in North Belfast, is one of eight schemes short listed in the Regeneration category.

The £35m redevelopment of the National Football Stadium is one of six short-listed in Tourism and Leisure category.

The winners of each category will also be in with a chance of winning the Project of the Year title, presented to the scheme which demonstrates overall outstanding best practice, and an exemplary commitment to adding value to its local area.

Michael Hannaway, chair of the RICS Northern Ireland awards judging panel said:

“This year’s nominees are truly unique and pioneering, and have transformed local communities. It shows our region is home to some of the most inspiring built environment t projects.”
