Excitement is growing across Slovakia’s property sector as preparations continue for the 21st annual CIJ Awards Slovakia, set to take place on 20 November 2025 at the historic Moyzes Hall in Bratislava. Organised by CIJ EUROPE, the event will once again bring together key figures from the country’s real estate and investment community to recognise outstanding projects, companies, and professionals from the past year.
Now in its third decade, the CIJ Awards Slovakia remains the country’s longest-running and most respected real estate awards programme. Since its launch in 2001, the event has mirrored the evolution of Slovakia’s property market — from early commercial developments to today’s complex, sustainable, and diversified investment environment. Winners from the national competition will advance to the Hall of Fame Awards 2026, where the top performers from across Central and Southeast Europe will compete for the title of “Best of the Best.”
This year’s categories span the full spectrum of the market, including residential, office, retail, logistics, and mixed-use projects, as well as recognition for financial institutions, legal and advisory firms, and asset management companies. Special awards such as Leadership of the Year and the Grand Prix honour individuals and organisations whose work has demonstrated integrity, strategic vision, and lasting impact on Slovakia’s built environment.
Integrity in judging remains at the core of the CIJ Awards’ reputation. Results are determined through a combination of public and professional input: 39% of the score is based on online voting by active market participants, while 61% is decided by a senior jury of independent real estate experts. All voting is confidential and audited, ensuring transparency and fairness in every category.
The gala evening will feature a full programme of networking and celebration, beginning at 19:00 with a cocktail reception, followed by a formal dinner and the awards ceremony. The evening will close with a social gathering of developers, investors, bankers, architects, and consultants, reflecting the collaborative spirit that defines Slovakia’s real estate industry. Tickets are available for €425 plus VAT, which includes full access to the event.
Nominations remain open until the end of October 2025, with companies able to submit up to ten entries through awards.cijeurope.com. Eligible projects must have been active between November 2024 and December 2025.
For more information about entries, jury participation, or sponsorship, contact Robert Fletcher, CEO of CIJ EUROPE, at fletcher@cijeurope.com, or Zuzana Rusnakova, Sales & Events Manager for Slovakia, at rusnakova@cijeurope.com.
As the countdown continues, the CIJ Awards Slovakia promises not only to honour excellence but also to reaffirm the strength, creativity, and ambition driving one of the most dynamic property markets in Central Europe.
