Grand Award 

The CEE Real Estate Quality Awards ceremony was held on March 3, 2010 in Warsaw. The "Industry Professional of the year" grand prize was awarded to Robert Dobrzycki, nominated in this category together with 9 other representatives from the law, real estate agency, construction and RE development industries from across the CEE region, among others Eli Alroy at GTC or Nicklas Lindberg at SKANSKA. The judges assessed the candidates based on last year's business achievements, company results, innovation, and impact on the development of the real estate industry. Robert Dobrzycki was also acknowledged for his capability of ensuring the company's stable growth despite the downturn in the industry.

Panattoni Park Myslowice -Industrial & Logistics Development of the Year 2009 

At the CEE QA ceremony awards were granted in 19 categories tied to the real estate industry. Panattoni Park Myslowice, acknowledged both by clients and professionals in the real estate industry, received the Industrial & Logistics Development of the Year 2009 award. This is yet another award granted for the park in Myslowice, deemed the best logistics center of 2009 in Poland by CIJ Journal magazine, at the CIJ Awards ceremony. Apart from the investment in the distribution center, Panattoni also reconstructed the road network, including the development of a communication node on the S1 Express Way, for ca PLN 30m.

CEE Quality Awards 

The 7th edition of the contest, which is considered to be the most objective and in-depth overview of the real estate market in the CEE region, has been completed. Projects were submitted from 10 CEE countries: Czech, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine. This year's ceremony was exceptional in the sense that there were more award categories (e.g. a new award for the Company of the Year in the area of construction services), higher number of judges (increase from 16 to 24 members) and a new gala location - the Royal Castle in Warsaw. The CEE QA awards are another distinction granted from the real estate industry experts to Panattoni Europe. In 2008 and 2009 Robert Dobrzycki received the Personality of the Year Award in another industry contest - CIJ Awards Poland. This time the recognition given by experts to the Managing Director of Panattoni Europe has a regional dimension.
