Francis Koh will be honoured for his contributions to Singapore’s property sector at the South East Asia Property Awards (Singapore).
Francis Koh, Managing Director and CEO of Koh Brothers Group, a Singapore-based construction and property development company, is set to receive the prestigious Real Estate Personality of the Year award at PropertyGuru’s South East Asia Property Awards (Singapore) on Thursday, 24 November.
The award, presented by the editors of Property Report magazine, recognises Koh’s contributions to Singapore’s property sector.
“I’m humbled to be named Singapore’s Real Estate Personality of the Year amongst many outstanding developers, this is a significant achievement both in my personal capacity and for Koh Brothers Group,” said Koh.
The group, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, has developed a number of residential projects in Singapore, including Parc Olympia, The Lumos, Bungalows @ Caldecott, and Westwood Residences.
“Koh’s creativity and pursuit of unique business opportunities have proven to be a breath of fresh air in Singapore’s relatively stale market of late,” said Liam Aran Barnes, Brand Director and Editor-in-Chief of Property Report.
“He’s also renowned for his hands-on approach and open-door policy at Koh Brothers, the group his father founded more than five decades ago.”
Last year, the firm clinched a $1.12 billion contract for the development of a three-runway system at Changi Airport, its largest contract win to date.
Going forward, it will also look at overseas expansion for the next phase of growth.
Said Koh: “We’ll continue to be on the lookout for investment opportunities both in Singapore and overseas.”
