The Shard won project of the year at Building’s prestigious annual awards last night, with the tower’s main contractor, client and project manager also all taking home gongs.

The industry’s brightest lights packed out London’s Grosvenor House Hotel last night to see the Shard tower collect the prestigious Building Magazine Project of the Year accolade.

Stephen Pycroft, executive chairman of Mace, the main contractor on the Shard, was named Building’s personality of the year, picking up the baton from 2012 winner Sir John Armitt, the former chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority.
