Belfast's Victoria Square |
BDP, the interdisciplinary design practice behind Liverpool One, enjoyed double success at this year’s RICS Awards. Victoria Square in Belfast, part of BDP’s design portfolio, was awarded a Commendation in the Regeneration category after battling against 14 other shortlisted projects from around the UK.
The urban regeneration scheme was also awarded Winner at the RICS regional awards in Northern Ireland earlier this year.
Meanwhile Grosvenor’s £1bn Liverpool One scheme, for which BDP was masterplanner and architect, won first place in the Regeneration category. The awards, held on 16 October, celebrate outstanding built and natural environment projects. RICS Awards judge Stephen Robinson said: “Victoria Square is driving change right in the heart of Belfast. The scheme reflects the power of retail in urban regeneration."
