We are proud to share that SAWA has been selected as a finalist by the international jury of the MIPIM Awards 2026 in the category of Best Residential Project.
This year, the MIPIM Awards received more than 230 entries from 47 countries worldwide. Within the Best Residential category, SAWA is one of the four finalists — a special recognition for a project that demonstrates how Paris-proof, circular, nature-inclusive, and socially responsible housing can be realized on a large scale in an urban context.
We thank the jury of the MIPIM Awards for this nomination, and especially Véronique Bédague for her role as jury president.
SAWA was designed by Mei architects and planners and developed by NICE Developers in collaboration with ERA Contour, with Focus on Impact as the investor — an integrated collaboration in which development, design, and social impact are closely aligned.
Thanks to all partners and stakeholders who contributed to the realization of SAWA in Rotterdam.
We look forward to the award ceremony in Cannes on March 12!
