\nQingjian Realty, M+S Pte Ltd, Novel Developments and CDL lead the official nominees<\/p>\n
Qingjian Realty, M+S Pte Ltd, Novel Developments and City Development Limited (CDL) lead the finalists for the South East Asia Property Awards (Singapore) 2016, an international event presented by Hansgrohe and organised by PropertyGuru, Asia\u2019s leading online property group.
\nThe full shortlist of the South East Asia Property Awards (Singapore) has been announced today following a rigorous, six-month nomination and judging process that involved site visits to eligible projects.
\nThe mixed-use development Marina One by M+S Pte Ltd, a joint venture between Malaysia and Singapore entities, is facing the other top nominees in various categories such as Best Luxury Condo Development, Best Office Development and Best Mixed-Use Development. The luxury residential and office development is located in the Lion State\u2019s vibrant Marina South area, the country\u2019s bustling new CBD.
\nAnother hotly contested category could be Best Executive Condo Development, where three Qingjian Realty subsidiaries are competing for the honour against MCL Land\u2019s acclaimed Sol Acres project.
\nTwo of the top shortlisted companies \u2013 City Development Limited (CDL) and M+S Pte Ltd \u2013 have been cited also for a new special award called Special Recognition in Sustainable Development for achieving excellence and adhering to the best sustainable practices.
\nFrancis Koh, CEO of Koh Brothers Properties, will be presented the Real Estate Personality of the Year accolade, a special, non-compete award that is given by the editors of Asia\u2019s industry-leading Property Report magazine. They picked Koh for his significant contributions to the industry, including his company\u2019s recent infrastructure, civil engineering, eco developments. The editors also chose him for his continued support of Singapore\u2019s property sector in the era of cooling measures.
\nNow celebrating its sixth edition, the South East Asia Property Awards (Singapore) 2016 rewards the developers behind the finest real estate developments in the past year. Despite a slow year for new launches, Singapore is still widely recognised as model for many emerging markets in the region, with quality, sustainability and green building as the top priorities for many local developers.
\nThe South East Asia Property Awards (Singapore) will be presenting a total of 20 trophies in 2016. For the last several months the categories were judged independently by a panel of experts led by respected architect and designer Mink Tan of MINKEE Architects, who also chaired the judging panel last year. All entries and judging sessions were supervised by BDO, one of the world\u2019s largest accountancy and auditing firms, and long-time judging supervisor of the Asia Property Awards series.
\nWinners in the development categories will compete in the Best of the Best round during the gala dinner for the following awards: Best Commercial Development (Singapore), Best Condo Development (Singapore), and Best Housing Development (Singapore). The highest honour of the year for Best Developer (Singapore) will also be revealed during the ceremony.
\nOn the judging process, Tan says: \u201cThe experience has been enriching and rewarding, as I have gained and learned much from my fellow judges who all hail from diverse backgrounds like development, finance, investment, amongst others. As a judge, I would think that the impact of the Awards must surely be a positive one, otherwise you wouldn\u2019t see all these developers sending multiple nominations and Winners brandishing the Awards on their advertisement banners year after year.\u201d
\nPresented by title sponsor Hansgrohe, the annual South East Asia Property Awards (Singapore) is part of the two-day event on 23-24 November at the prestigious Shangri-La Hotel Singapore. The Singapore awards ceremony will take place on Thursday evening on the 24th immediately before the grand finale gala dinner of the South East Asia Property Awards 2016 where the top winners from eight ASEAN countries will compete for the Best of the Best (South East Asia) honours.
\n\u201cSingapore continues to produce world-class developments that are the gold standard for any country in ASEAN and is a regional leader in CSR and sustainable development,\u201d says Terry Blackburn, founder and managing director of the Asia Property Awards, which is now in its 11th year. \u201cWe\u2019re confident that this year\u2019s programme will recognise the growing importance of sustainability among developers not just in Singapore but in Southeast Asia as a whole, and will set a new benchmark of quality for the region\u2019s real estate sector.\u201d \u00a0
\nThe South East Asia Property Awards (Singapore) 2016 Gala Dinner will be boosted by the support of influential media partners including CNN International, the official broadcaster of the awards, and official property portal PropertyGuru.com.sg, Singapore\u2019s No. 1 property website.
