Built Purpose

The fit out sector increasingly sits at the intersection of sustainability, investment, and institutional credibility. This edition brings together stories that show how the built environment is being used to signal values as well as performance.

Looking back to last year, ‘OCSC wins Sustainable Fit Out Project of the Year at Fit Out Awards 2025’ reflects how sustainability has become integral to educational and healthcare design rather than an added feature. That recognition sharpens expectations as the Fit Out Awards 2026 approach.

In addition, commercial confidence appears in ‘Paul Montgomery acquires the Wilton Bar for €1 million refurbishment’. The story speaks to how targeted fit out investment can extend asset life while responding to changing consumer expectations.

Meanwhile, capital markets enter the picture through ‘Adnex Group secures underwriting agreement for ACE Market listing’. It underlines how access to funding and clear strategy support growth across construction-adjacent sectors.

These stories suggest a fit out landscape shaped by purpose, discipline, and measured ambition. Explore how design quality, investment decisions, and market readiness increasingly move in step.
