Tyneside Cinema swept the board at the North East Renaissance RICS Awards 2009, winning Project of the Year by 'excelling across all eight categories and above all other submissions'.
The project also won the Building Conservation and Tourism & Leisure Awards.
The judging panel commented that Tyneside is 'a successful commercial venture that has employed creative and innovative design to breathe new life into a leisure facility that is rare and in many ways unique - a project that is playing a regenerative role in the widest sense of the word'.
