The Iberian Property Awards 2026 have officially opened their application process, marking the start of a new edition of one of the most recognised distinctions in the Iberian real estate investment industry. The awards will once again highlight excellence across Spain and Portugal, with winners to be announced during a gala dinner in Madrid on 5 May 2026, coinciding with the opening day of the Spain Real Estate Summit.
The 2026 edition maintains the same eight categories as last year, ensuring continuity in recognising a broad range of real estate activities, from landmark transactions to sustainability, social impact and innovation. These include Deal of the Year in Spain and Portugal, Green Asset Initiative, Social Impact Initiative, Research Report, Commercial Leasing, Marketing Initiative and Financial Innovation of the Year. The growing relevance of the initiative was reflected in the previous edition, where submitted projects represented more than €3 billion of investment across the Iberian Peninsula.
Applications are open until 27 March 2026, after which a two-round voting process will shortlist three finalists per category before selecting the final winners. This year’s judging panel has been expanded to more than 50 professionals from across the Iberian real estate sector, bringing together a wider and more diverse range of expertise. Applicants are encouraged to submit comprehensive entries, clearly demonstrating methodology, measurable results, alignment with macro trends and their contribution to the sector. With submissions now open, the Iberian Property Awards 2026 once again invite the market to showcase the projects and initiatives shaping the future of real estate in Spain and Portugal.
