Nominations are now being accepted for the sixth edition of the South East Asia Property Awards (Singapore), organised by PropertyGuru Group and presented by Hansgrohe.
The event aims to showcase the best developments from the city-state at a time when cooling measures have caused transactions and rents to decline.
“Despite a slow year for new launches, Singapore is still a model for many emerging markets in the region. Quality, sustainability and green building are the top priorities for many developers,” said Terry Blackburn, Founder and Managing Director of the Asia Property Awards.
Submissions are open to developers, consumers and the general public. All eligible entries will be assessed by an independent judging panel, and will be supervised by accountancy and auditing firm BDO.
Aside from the existing award for Special Recognition in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), there will be a new category this year for Special Recognition in Sustainable Development.
Said Blackburn: “We’re confident that this new category will recognise the growing importance of sustainability among developers not just in Singapore but in Southeast Asia as a whole.”
Meanwhile, the category for Best Commercial Development has been expanded to include entries for Best Retail Development, Best Office Development, Best Hotel Development and Best Mixed-Use Development.
In addition, the editors of Property Report magazine (which is now part of PropertyGuru) will name the Real Estate Personality of the Year who has contributed significantly to the industry.
Nominations will remain open until 9 September, while the finalists will be announced in the last week of October.
A gala dinner to honour the winners will take place on 24 November at the Shangri-La Hotel Singapore. Last year’s ceremony drew more than 400 guests.
