International Property Awards has partnered with the Dubai Land Department to establish International Property Awards Dubai

International Property Awards (IPA), a renowned international awards programme in the real estate sector, has partnered with the Dubai Land Department (DLD) to establish a specialised branch in Dubai called the 'International Property Awards Dubai' (IPAD).

Under the new partnership, IPAD will become a state-of-the-art global real estate industry excellence series that invites architects, developers, interior designers and other Dubai real estate professionals to be nominated for awards focused on design, quality, service, innovation, originality and commitment to sustainability.

His Excellency Sultan Butti bin Mejren, Director General of DLD, commented: "We are pleased to partner with IPA as part of our ambitious mission to further enhance the real estate sector and motivate all stakeholders to offer their best innovations. Our real estate market remains at the forefront of international markets in terms of quality and excellence."

Bin Mejren added: "IPAD will add a new dimension to the sector, as it allows participants to compete at the local, regional and global levels, which in turn contributes to promoting our real estate projects worldwide. It will also help to attract investors looking for exceptional opportunities in a stable market with guaranteed return on investment, in addition to Dubai's unique features, which make the Emirate a leading investment destination."

International Property Awards Dubai winners will be awarded on a global or five-star level. The five-star winners will continue to compete in regional property awards and can also enter international awards, which will be announced in December at the Savoy Hotel in London.

Her Excellency Majida Ali Rashid, Assistant Director General and Head of the Real Estate Investment Management and Promotion Center, commented: "Our partnership with IPA confirms DLD's dedication to providing all possible opportunities for the promotion of our real estate market and to achieve the highest standards of excellence by honouring the best work in our field. IPAD will be a new episode in the awards series that recognises real estate innovations and achievements to further develop the industry and reach world-class standards."

This year marks the 25^th edition of the IPA, which is open to residential and commercial real estate professionals from all over the world. The awards are judged by an independent jury of more than 80 industry experts, led by four Lords from the UK. The awards programme covers 48 different residential and commercial categories, with regional versions covering the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Canada, Central and South America, the Caribbean, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and Asia and the Pacific.
