Singapore and China top the list of nominees for the 4th MIPIM Asia Awards, which recognises real estate projects in the Asia-Pacific region annually.
Out of the 24 nominees, 17 went to projects from Singapore and China.
The international jury headed by Dr. Robert Lie, managing director of Real Estate Investment & Development at Redevco Asia Limited, met last week to check on the projects from 10 different countries that joined this year’s awards. From a total of 79 projects, the jury have narrowed down to 24 nominees in 8 categories, including best Chinese Project Category; Business Centres Category; Futura Projects Category; Green Buildings Category; Hotels And Tourism Resorts Category; Mixed-Use Buildings Category; Residential Developments Category and Shopping Centre Category.
Entries this year came from Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, India, South Korea, Vietnam, Japan, and Australia. Wining projects will be chosen through online voting from several registered MIPIM Asia delegates and will close on November 1.
Highlights include the Shanghai Peninsula and the Mandarin Oriental Macau in the Hotels and Tourism Category, as well as The Orchard Residences and 72 Sentosa Cove in the Residential Developments Category.
“It is fantastic to see so many high quality projects from countries across Asia in this year’s MIPIM Asia Awards competition. This is a clear reflection of the continued growth and development of this dynamic region. We are very pleased that like last year we have received a large number of interesting projects from China and we will therefore continue with the special category ‘Best Chinese Projects,” said Dr. Lie.
The MIPIM Asia Awards Ceremony will take place on the opening day of The MIPIM Asia property show, held from November 10 to 12 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
