\nThe four-year-old event welcomed a record-breaking 200-plus entries from around the archipelago this year
\nThe Winners and Highly Commended of the 4th Philippines Property Awards 2016
\nMegaworld Corporation took home its first-ever Best Developer award as well as three more gongs and 13 Highly Commended honours at the fourth annual Philippines Property Awards gala dinner.
\nThe Dr Andrew L Tan-led company started the evening with an unprecedented 16 nominations, with Uptown Bonifacio getting six nods. The high-end urban township eventually won Best Residential Architectural Design for the Uptown Ritz condominium development.
\nLast year\u2019s Best Developer winner SM Group was nominated for 10 awards through its various subsidiaries and eventually took home Best Commercial Development (Philippines) for SM Seaside City Cebu, a retail project undertaken by its commercial investment arm, SM Prime Holdings Inc.
\nThe conglomerate, headed by Henry Sy Sr, the country\u2019s richest man, also won the coveted Special Recognition in CSR for providing Filipinos \u201cfive-star\u201d homes in prime locations around the country, as well as promoting a conducive learning experience for the youth by building and remodelling overpopulated public school classrooms across the islands.<\/p>\n
Presented by Hansgrohe, the fourth edition of the Philippines Property Awards 2016 welcomed a new category to reward the country\u2019s outstanding boutique developers. In the category for Best Boutique Developer, AppleOne Properties Inc pipped King Properties. Fellow Cebu-based firms, Primary Homes Inc and Cebu Landmasters Inc, collected several Winners and Highly Commended accolades in other categories.
\nWith this year\u2019s entries doubling to more than 200 compared to 2015, the time has come to widen the scope of the programme, a move that was welcomed by the independent panel of judges and trusted awards supervisor BDO.
\n\u201cWhilst there\u2019s still an emphasis on Metro Manila, there was an increase in the number of entries from Cebu and also Davao,\u201d said Lindsay J Orr, chief operating officer of Jones Lang LaSalle Philippines and chairman of the judges. \u201cWhat we need to do now is to continue to bang the drums and build the awareness for the Philippines Property Awards so that next year we make sure that we\u2019ll have an even larger section of entries from other regions.\u201d
\nAnother highlight of the ceremony was the presentation to former Senate President Manuel B Villar Jr, founder of the Vista Land Group, of the Real Estate Personality of the Year award by the editors of\u00a0Property Report. It was the only award not selected by the independent judging panel.<\/p>\n
Known for his master planned developments called \u201cCommunicities,\u201d the self-made billionaire saw his construction supplies business in the early 1970s grow into a quality housing developer.

\n\u201cI am deeply grateful for, and profoundly humbled by, this recognition from the\u00a0Philippines Property Awards,\u201d said Villar. \u201cFor me, the Real Estate Personality of the Year award is a testament to how Vista Land has been an instrument in improving the lives of Filipinos by providing them homes to live comfortably and communities where necessities are within their reach. \u201c
\nProving his company\u2019s worth as a quality housing specialist, Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc took home the Best Housing Development (Philippines) award for Northpoint, located in Davao. This project beat all the residential category winners from across the nation and, along with the other \u2018best of the best\u2019 winners from the Philippines, will move on to compete at the South East Asia Property Awards grand finale in Singapore this November.
\n\u201cAs the Asia Property Awards programme continues to grow in its 11th year, we are proud to accomplish our goal to showcase the finest developers and projects from the established and emerging locations in the Philippines,\u201d says Terry Blackburn, founder of the Asia Property Awards and managing director of awards organiser PropertyGuru International. \u201cWe look forward to welcoming more entries from regional developers next year as we celebrate the achievements of Philippine real estate.\u201d
