Welcome to The Revo’s!

Revo’s 2023 Awards campaign, aptly named “The Revo’s,” is a celebration of excellence within the retail, leisure, and placemaking property sector. It has been crafted by a team of industry experts, who have combined elements from the Revo Gold, ACE, and Purple Apple awards to create the custom campaign.

As the built environment continues to evolve, we are proud to keep up with the changes and remain at the forefront of the industry. The Revo’s provide us with an opportunity to recognise and celebrate those who are adapting and leading the way forward.

We are excited to announce a host of new categories that ensure both places, spaces, projects, and people are rewarded and recognised. We encourage applications from our members and the wider sector, regardless of whether it’s an individual brand or unit, an individual, a shopping centre, a team, a sustainability initiative, a community initiative, retail park, outlet mall, leisure destination, airport, a pop-up, an occupier, train station, business improvement district, a development, town centre and more.

At its core, The Revo’s is all about celebrating excellence. We can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store and are excited to honour the best in development, asset management, retail, leisure, retail destination marketing, placemaking, community, collaboration, and innovation.
