Daily Mail Property Awards logo

Dandara have scooped two awards at this year's prestigious Daily Mail Residential Property Awards.

Castle Quay - Best Isle of Man Development

Quay West situated in a superb location in Douglas, Isle of Man has been awarded Best Development in the Isle of Man.

Occupying a prime location on Douglas’ North Quay, this stylish development of one, two and three bedroom waterfront apartments is arranged around a beautifully landscaped central square and offers fantastic views over the river and marina

"Designed to the highest specification, the apartments feature spacious open-plan living accommodation, luxurious fitted kitchens and bathrooms as Managing Director Seamus Nugent explains: “When we designed Quay West, our ambition was to create a community of comfortable, contemporary homes, which would successfully combine the tranquility of the beautiful waterfront setting with the convenience of a city-centre location to offer the very best in modern living.”

"With over 70 per cent of the apartments at Quay West already sold, it appears that the company has successfully achieved their goal as Mr Nugent continues: “The response to Quay West has been fantastic and we are delighted to receive this latest Daily Mail award, which is a testament to the hard work of everyone involved and an independent endorsement of our on-going commitment to excellence.”

Lin White, Isle of Man Associate Director of Sales and Marketing commented: Last year we took the Daily Mail Award for Best Development, Isle of Man with our Spectrum apartments its great that we have been able to claim the award once more with another Dandara development!

Best Apartment in Lanarkshire

An apartment within another of Dandara's waterside developments, gh2o, located on the banks of the River Clyde, in Glasgow Harbour took Dandara's second award for Best Apartment, Lanarkshire.

The apartment at gh2o, already a multi-award winning development, was commended for having the winning combination of excellent location, great internal design and high specification.

Hugh McGuinness UK Sales director said: The stunning penthouse apartment which won this award is truly amazing, with spectacular panoramic views of the vibrant city and waterfront this exclusive home occupies the fifteenth and sixteenth floors. The good news is we have another penthouse for sale and this award is testament to the quality design and specification which Dandara is proud to provide our customers.
