\nMore than 100 entries are expected\u00a0from the best projects in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Ipoh, Melaka, Kota Kinabalu and Iskandar
\nAsia Property Awards (Malaysia) 2016 held at the InterContinental Kuala Lumpur
\nNominations are now open until 9 June 2017
\nThe fourth annual PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Malaysia), backed by the country\u2019s No. 1 property website PropertyGuru.com.my, have recently been launched to celebrate the industry\u2019s latest innovations in real estate development, design and sustainability.
\nPresented by Kohler in 2017, the acclaimed international event is organised by PropertyGuru Group, Asia\u2019s leading online property group. Previous winners, including 2016 Best Developer (South East Asia) winner Sime Darby Property, are expected to join again this year along with niche developers and up-and-coming players in the real estate sector.
\nKnown for having a credible, transparent, and free-to-enter awards system, the Asia Property Awards (Malaysia) reward the country\u2019s finest property developers and projects located in the established and emerging property markets of Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Ipoh, Melaka, Kota Kinabalu and Iskandar. The award categories are divided into three sections, namely Developer, Development and Design.
\nBuilding on the extraordinary success of last year\u2019s programme that was attended by nearly 400 guests, the 2017 edition introduces a revamped awards scheme filled with destination-focused categories to reflect the growing importance of Malaysia\u2019s most exciting investment destinations and economic zones.

\nIn addition, new categories have been added for Best Mass Market Development (Landed) and Best Mass Market Development (Condo) to represent the evolving property landscape and changing consumer preferences in Malaysia.
\nAccording to a recent study conducted by PropertyGuru.com.my, the top considerations of today\u2019s Malaysian consumers are price, location and size of a property. The study also reveals that majority of consumers (around 60 percent) intend to purchase new homes \u2013 if affordability and design requirements are met.
\nPrem Kumar, executive director of Jones Lang Wootton and returning chairman of the judging panel, believes that the annual Asia Property Awards (Malaysia) present an excellent opportunity for leaders of the industry to commit to a wider agenda of trendsetting, innovation and sustainability, at a time when the local property market undergoes further consolidation following muted or flat growth in the last two years.
\n\u201cThe Awards elevate the property sector in Malaysia in a way that they promote an international mindset by setting benchmarks comparable to other advanced economies and more mature markets,\u201d Kumar says. \u201cI would say that the culture of benchmarking is also significant as Malaysia aims to achieve a \u2018developed nation\u2019 status by year 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n
Organisers are now calling on Malaysian developers as well as real estate agents, architects, interior designers, construction companies, suppliers and the general public to submit their nominations online via AsiaPropertyAwards.com\/nominations\/.
\nDeadline for nominations is on Friday, 9 June 2017, and entries submission are due on Friday, 16 June 2017.
\nBDO, the world\u2019s fifth largest accounting and auditing firm, has been appointed once again as official judging supervisor.
\nTerry Blackburn, founder and managing director of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards, says: \u201cWe are delighted to hold the fourth edition of the Asia Property Awards in Malaysia. Despite experiencing a challenging last couple of years, the local real estate scene has retained a solid reputation for excellence, as we have witnessed during the Asia Property Awards 2016 grand finals when Malaysia claimed the Best Developer (South East Asia) title for the first time ever.\u201d

\nHe adds: \u201cWhat the Asia Property Awards give local developers is a credible and internationally-recognised platform to aim high and continue producing world-class developments designed for Malaysian property seekers. The Awards are truly a showcase of what Malaysia real estate has to offer.\u201d
\nHari V. Krishnan, CEO of PropertyGuru Group, comments on the company\u2019s commitment to the Asia Property Awards: \u201cAs a \u2018hyper-growth\u2019 technology company, a core tenet of PropertyGuru Group\u2019s culture is to pursue greatness, which is mirrored by the exceptional quality of entrants in the Asia Property Awards year after year.
\n\u201cOur brand promise is to help people make confident property decisions. The Awards platform is a key part of our offline solution, and allows consumers to identify the highest quality real estate developers in the region and thus be more confident in their property decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n
The independent judging panel led by Kumar will reveal the official shortlist of nominees, comprising one Winner and up to four Highly Commended in each category, in the third week of July 2017. The black-tie gala dinner is set to take place on Thursday, 17 August 2017, once again at the InterContinental Kuala Lumpur, the official hotel venue of the Awards.
