CTBUH 2025 Awards

The 2025 CTBUH Awards in Toronto marked a pivotal shift, redefining value from iconic height to integrated urban vitality. Winners like Merdeka 118 and Brussels' ZIN demonstrated that long-term resilience comes from stitching buildings into the city's fabric, prioritising vibrant public realms at their base. These projects present sophisticated models where addressing community needs and sustainability are prerequisites for financial performance, proving that the most profitable assets are those that generate social and environmental capital.
