We’re delighted to announce that BB&J Commercial has been named a finalist in the East Midlands Brick Awards 2026, making the Top 3 in the prestigious Deal of the Year category for 73 Monk Street, Derby, DE22 3QE.
Being nominated for this award is a fantastic achievement and recognition of the hard work, dedication and commitment of the BB&J Commercial team, as well as the strong relationships we have built with our clients and professional partners. We’re incredibly proud to be recognised amongst some of the region’s leading property businesses and look forward to celebrating at the awards.
73 Monk Street is situated within a prominent location close to Derby city centre and offers 0.22 acres of land. The property was successfully sold to Wilson Architects Limited, who have big hopes for the property and are planning to build a three‑ to six‑storey purpose‑built student accommodation scheme, providing 102 bedrooms across 16 cluster flats.
Cameron Godfrey, Agency Surveyor at BB&J Commercial, said:
“Being shortlisted for Deal of the Year is a fantastic recognition of the teamwork, persistence and collaboration that went into completing this transaction.
73 Monk Street was a complex deal with a lot of moving parts, and seeing it progress into a major redevelopment for Derby makes the achievement even more rewarding. I’m proud of what we delivered for our client and delighted to see the project gaining the spotlight it deserves.”
Mark Richardson, Partner and Valuer at BB&J Commercial, added:
“It’s always good to be involved in a project that is more than just a sale. This was quite a complicated one to pull together. Knowing in this case that we have helped play a part in a significant redevelopment project for the City of Derby is particularly rewarding.”
Fingers crossed for the big night! 🤞🏆
