There are eight projects shortlisted in the commercial category including Avenue HQ in Leeds (pictured), a grade two-listed building that has been repurposed from a traditional office building to form a community workspace which has bars, a coffee shop, 35 private offices and coworking space for around 300 people.

Last year, the title went to The Piece Hall in Halifax.
All category winners will go on to compete against other regional winners at the national RICS Awards Grand Final in London later this year, for the chance to be crowned the overall UK winner in their respective category.
Rob Hindle, chairman of the RICS Awards, Yorkshire & Humber judging panel and director at White Hindle & Partners (WHP) said: “Some of these shortlisted projects have helped to attract more visitors and inward investment, whilst others have provided much needed housing or vital services and infrastructure to their communities.
“The teams behind them should be extremely proud as many were delivered on time and within budget, and with sustainability at the heart, to ensure they are as energy efficient and as environmentally friendly as possible.”
