2012 has been Sellar's year - the Year of the Shard. Over 12 years in the making, the 95-storey, 306m skyscraper now towers over London Bridge and forms an instantly recognizable spike in the London skyline. As one judge said: "Sellar have had the courage to create a landmark that has 'recalibrated' London". While the Renzo Piano-designed Shard cannot be said ever to have looked easy, its birth was particularly hard, with knock-backs in securing planning and funding. It is Sellar Property Group's "indefaguigability" that has brought it to final and triumphant fruition. The final word goes to the judges: "Sellar has shown vision, grit, commercial nouse and great skill in delivering an international land mark and a pillar of London and the UK's future."
