SINGAPORE
- 26 September 2018: The
PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Singapore) today unveiled the official nominees
for its annual competition that recognises the finest in the country's real
estate sector, including finalists in several new categories.
The prestigious awards will be presented at the exclusive, black-tie ceremony on Friday, 12 October 2018, at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre at Marina Bay Sands.
With a total of 30 categories, the industry's highest real estate honours encompasses the residential and commercial segments as well as design. The independent judging panel's shortlist includes new categories for Special Recognition for Customer Care, for Design and Construction, and for Building Communities.
Other categories that have been added to this year's expanded programme are Best Smart Building Development, Best Industrial Development, and Best Industrial Green Development.
Lim Wenhui, partner at SPARK Architects, who assumed her role as the programme's first female head judge earlier this year, said the crop of new projects will contribute to the betterment of the small nation's built environment.
"There are always interesting opportunities popping up in Singapore as the work continues to ‘remake the city'. As a practicing designer I'm optimistic about the short-term outlook. Continuing bullish bids for land and en bloc sales and increases in development charges are a reasonable indication that it is business as usual for most sectors," she said.
The historic election of Lim Wenhui as the programme's first chairwoman coincides with the selection of the first-ever female recipient of the coveted Singapore Real Estate Personality of the Year title. It is the only accolade not chosen by the judges, but by the editors of PropertyGuru Property Report magazine.
SingHaiyi Group Ltd's group managing director Celine Tang has been named for leading her company's efforts in building world-class residential and commercial developments, as well as helping to break the glass ceiling for female CEOs in the industry. Tang will be presented her special award at the ceremony.
Terry Blackburn, founder and managing director of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards, said: "We are extremely proud to share this strong shortlist of developments and lineup of special awardees that only strengthen Singapore's reputation as a pioneer in the Asia-Pacific region's vital real estate sector. From innovative and smart buildings to world-class industrial facilities, these developments represent the best that Singapore developers can offer to the world."
The 2018 PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Singapore) gala dinner is supported by platinum sponsor Kohler; co-sponsor Mitsubishi Electric; official portal partner PropertyGuru.com.sg, Singapore's No. 1 property site; media partners Southeast Asia Globe, LookBox Living, Top 10 of Asia, and PropertyGuru Property Report; and official supervisor BDO, one of the world's largest auditing and accountancy firms.
Lim Wenhui is joined on the judging panel by experts in design and consultancy: Alexander Karolik Shlaen - CEO, Panache Management; Benedict Andrew Lim - EY Partner, ASEAN Real Estate Leader; Clement Ong - Head of Strategic Planning and Investment, Banyan Tree Group; Henry Woon - Director, Atelier Ten, CEng MCIBSE, MSc, BEng, LEED AP BD+C; Kristin Thorsteins - Vice President Development & Asset Management, East & South Asia and Pacific (ESAP), Club Med; and Mink Tan - Chief Designer, MINKKE architects. BDO Singapore supervisors are led by executive director Roger Loo and manager Zee Chang Teng (Christopher).
