\n14 companies, including last year\u2019s Best Developer winner, vie for honours\u00a0in 22 categories
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
China is getting ready to reward the country\u2019s best real estate companies and properties with the announcement of the official shortlist of nominees for the third annual China Property Awards, organised by PropertyGuru, Asia\u2019s leading online property group.
\nResidential developer Grand Whole Limited lead the list with four nominations for its Hong Kong-based ultra luxury condo project The Morgan. Located in the Mid-Levels West district, The Morgan also collects three nominations for its outstanding architectural and interior designs.
\nTied in second place are two commercial real estate giants, Wheelock Properties and Wynn Resort Ltd, with three nominations each. Wynn Palace by Wynn Resort Ltd dominates the hotel subcategories, while Wheelock Properties\u2019 One HarbourGate is also competing for the Best Green Development award outside the office subcategories.
\nCompanies that received more than one nominations are Phoenix Property Investors, hpa, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and LKF Group, whose founder Dr Allan Zeman was named the 2015 Real Estate Personality of the Year by the editors of Asia\u2019s industry-leading Property Report magazine.
\nLast year\u2019s Best Developer winner, Sino-Ocean Group Holding Limited, has earned one nomination for Best Residential Development (China).
\nA new Real Estate Personality of the Year awardee will be announced before all the Winners and Highly Commended honorees of the China Property Awards are revealed on 7 December in a black-tie gala dinner on 7 December at the JW Marriott Hong Kong.
\nFourteen developers from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau have been selected to join the shortlist by an independent panel of judges following several months of nomination, judging and site visits supervised by BDO, one of the world\u2019s largest accountancy and auditing firms.
\nAccording to judging panel chairman Trevor Vivian, global director of design firm Benoy, the judges looked for the sustainable and socially responsible qualities of the projects that entered. \u201cIt was important for the judges to look developments that can fulfil what they promised and add amenity to their surroundings areas.\u201d
\nHe notes that China real estate has changed immensely in the past few years. \u201cNow there is a greater demand for socially responsible developments that are efficient, cost effective and also deliver on their briefs. In other words, there is a drive to a greater quality product that is both dynamic but still provides efficiency.\u201d
\nThe annual China Property Awards aims to recognise the innovations of the current developments in China\u2019s first- and second-tier cities and territories. There are Development and Design categories dedicated to Mainland China, and Hong Kong & Macau.
\nA total of 23 awards will be presented, including Special Recognition awards for CSR and Sustainable Development. The latter is a new category that debuts in 2016.
\nOrganised by PropertyGuru, the China Property Awards is part of the prestigious Asia Property Awards series, which will hold the South East Asia grand finals on 23-34 November in Singapore.
\n\u201c2016 has been a momentous year for the Asia Property Awards. Since starting 11 years ago the Awards have always endeavoured to reward the best in local real estate and produce credible winners with a transparent entry and judging system. We have achieved this goal by developing the most detailed and comprehensive entry system of any property awards in the world,\u201d says Terry Blackburn, founder and managing director of the Asia Property Awards.
\n\u201cOver the past decade since the beginning of our awards series, China\u2019s property sector has shown remarkable growth and today has become one of the world\u2019s most active markets. The China Property Awards programme celebrates Greater China\u2019s finest developments that elevate the standards of the industry,\u201d he adds.
\n30-year industry veteran Paul Tse, vice-chairman of the judging panel and incumbent president of the board of the Macao Association of Building Contractors and Developers, acknowledges the established credibility of the awards programme.
\nOn the judging process, he comments: \u201cIt was important for the panel as a whole to set criteria in a professional, transparent and forthright manner, to encourage as many of the potential participants as possible to come forward, and to adjudicate in a way that brought out the best projects in the best light possible. A successful adjudication adds to the already widely acknowledged credibility of the China Property Awards and provides a strong foundation for further growth ahead.\u201d
