Recognising the UK's legacy of high-rise superstructures

The Tall Buildings Awards is a prestigious celebration of excellence and innovation within the tall buildings sector. It brings together the architects, engineers, developers and product manufacturers who are redefining our skylines. From pioneering projects that rise from ground to the people shaping our skylines, the Tall Buildings Awards take a holistic approach, enabling all providers the opportunity for recognition.

As the awards prepare to be bigger and better for 2026, they continue to spotlight outstanding achievements across every facet of tall building design and construction. Categories champion product innovation, material advancements, smart technologies, retrofit and reuse, and the growing movement toward ‘responsible skyscrapers’ – tall buildings designed with sustainability, social impact, safety and long-term resilience at their core. This year also sees the arrival of our Lifetime Achievement Award, Emerging Talent Award and Outstanding Contribution Award.

With a straightforward entry process and clear guidance provided in the Entry Form, the awards offer an inclusive platform for organisations and individuals to showcase high-rise architecture and construction excellence.
