Savills Portugal celebrates a milestone of excellence by winning two prestigious awards: the “Real Estate Award” in the category of “Renovation and Reconstruction of Offices” for the iconic MB4 Office Building project, and the “Best Broker Iberia” distinction in Industry & Logistics (I&L). These distinctions reflect Savills ongoing commitment to redefining the real estate sector with innovation, sustainability, and excellence.
The Real Estate Award, presented by SIC Notícias and Expresso Imobiliário, recognizes the MB4 Office Building as an example of visionary and sustainable urban rehabilitation. This building, transformed by Savills since its acquisition, reflects a pioneering approach by combining innovative solutions with rigorous ESG standards. Classified as an “NZEB Building – Very Efficient” by ADENE, the project is a benchmark in sustainability, featuring technologies that reduce 280 tons of CO2 annually and a continuous commitment to BREEAM In-Use certification, with an “Excellent” rating.
On the other hand, the distinction as “Best Broker” in I&L at the Panattoni European gala highlights Savills as the undisputed leader in the Industry and Logistics sector. This recognition validates the talent and know-how of Savills teams in delivering outstanding results and driving the sector forward.
Paulo Silva, Head of Country at Savills Portugal, states: “These awards are a reflection of the talent, passion, and dedication of each of our professionals. The work carried out on the MB4 Office Building was extraordinary in terms of the involvement and coordination of different teams (Investment, BPC & Architecture, Agency, Investment, and Property Management) at Savills, resulting in the creation of a unique building that attracted the interest of companies and a prominent investor, ultimately becoming a reference and case study in Portugal. Conversely, the award for “Best Broker” in I&L reflects the know-how and competence of our teams, enabling us to deliver outstanding results that demonstrate our commitment to our clients, which is particularly noteworthy when awarded by a professional and demanding client like Panattoni, in an Iberian context where we are compared to companies operating in a more advanced development market like Spain compared to Portugal.”
Joana Rodrigues, BPC & Architecture Director at Savills, emphasizes: “It is with great satisfaction that we see the MB4 Office Building, an innovative project bearing the Savills signature, recognized with this prestigious national award. This building symbolizes the commitment of our teams, who supported all phases of the process – from acquisition and development to asset management and rehabilitation – combining architectural and design excellence with high ESG criteria, and bringing new life to a vacant building in the city.”
Pedro Figueiras, Head of I&L da Savills, highlights: “We are very proud to receive this distinction from such a prominent client at a European level as Panattoni. Undoubtedly, this recognition stems from the dedication, commitment, know-how, and excellence of our team, which consequently enables us to deliver unmatched service levels and results for our clients’ projects.”
