Sir John Ritblat was named Property Personality of the Year at the 2007 Property Awards in London last night.
Ritblat, who stepped down as British Land chairman at the end of 2006 and who is now working with his son Jamie at Delancey, was the overwhelming choice of the 250-strong Property Awards Academy that made the award.
His award capped a glittering evening at the Grosvenor House Hotel attended by 1,800 people and hosted by TV’s biggest star, Jonathan Ross.
Land Securities, having led the UK quoted property sector to REIT status, was named property company and developer of the year.
Other big winners were Derwent London, CPC Group (the Candy brothers’ development arm) and Invista.
