An expanded Asia Property Awards 2019 saw Singapore-based developers and projects take the largest haul of awards in the Grand Final ceremony held in Bangkok, Thailand on 22 November 2019. The gala was attended by 150-odd nominees, representing major winning titleholders from PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards’ series of local awards in 2019.
Singapore claimed seven out of 30 awards on the night. Winning the most coveted award of the night, Best Developer in Asia, was Singaporean developer UOL Group. The developer’s MeyerHouse project in District 15, won the Asian title for Best Low Rise Condo Interior Design and Best Condo Landscape Architectural Design.
On UOL Group’s impressive showing, Liam Wee Sin, Group Chief Executive of UOL Group Limited, said: “It is a delight as well as a privilege to be participating in this competition… each one of us [participants] took home an idea of how the industry has been evolving over the years.”
Winners of the Asia Property Awards Grand Final 2019 were chosen by an independent jury comprising of head judges from participating markets, and auditing by BDO, one of the world’s largest auditing and accountancy firms.
Indonesia and the Philippines bag four awards each; Vietnam wins three
Developers from elsewhere in the region also shone. Indonesia’s Triniti Land won Best Boutique Developer (Asia), one of the four wins by the country at the Grand Final. Notably, Indonesian developer ASTRA Property & Hongkong Land won the coveted regional prize of Best Luxury Condo Development (Asia) for Anandamaya Residences.
Anandamaya Residences in Jarkarta, Indonesia, won the title of Best Luxury Condo Development (Asia).
Vietnam gained three regional titles, including the sought-after honour of Best Township Development (Asia) for Kien A Corporation. These regional titles were presented in addition to CapitaLand Vietnam CEO Chen Lian Pang winning the 2019 PropertyGuru Icon Award, the second recipient of the title in the Awards’ 14-year history. Earlier in the year, Chen was named Real Estate Personality of the Year at the 2016 PropertyGuru Vietnam Property Awards.
“This is not my own achievement of leadership but also the efforts of those who have supported me over my career in real estate, especially management, colleagues and staff of CapitaLand, who have shared the same vision as I have,” Chen said of his accolade.
In the meantime, Thailand finished with two regional wins while Cambodia, Myanmar and Malaysia took one regional title each.
