The fourth annual PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Malaysia), presented by Kohler, revealed the official shortlist of nominees who are competing for honours in the country\u2019s most prestigious real estate awards ceremony.<\/p>\n
A total of 18 deserving developers made the cut with projects ranging from residential, commercial, mixed-use and green developments across the country, from Kuala Lumpur to Penang and Iskandar.<\/p>\n
Leading this year\u2019s race for the gold is Tropicana Corporation Bhd, a company known for its mixed retail, commercial and leisure developments. The Selangor-based firm collected a total of seven nominations, more than double the nods received by second placers UMLand and Bon Estates Sdn Bhd, which earned three spots in the shortlist each.<\/p>\n
Among the nominated projects under leading nominee Tropicana\u2019s umbrella include the master planned communities of Tropicana Aman and Tropicana Heights, both competing in the Best Housing Development (Kuala Lumpur) category, the integrated community Tropicana Metropark, and the themed urban garden, aptly named Tropicana Gardens.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, two of UMLand\u2019s nominations are for special awards in Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility. The company is in a three-way tie in the same categories with Tropicana Corporation and the 2016 Best Developer winner Sime Darby Property.<\/p>\n
Other companies that received double nominations in 2017 include Southkey City Sdn Bhd, LBS Bina Group Berhad, UDA Holdings Berhad, Mayland, and Ideal Property Group.<\/p>\n
The final shortlist was determined, under the strict supervision of BDO Malaysia, from 40 eligible entries received by the independent judging panel, which is headed by incumbent chairman Prem Kumar, executive director of Jones Lang Wootton.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Malaysia) showcase a wonderful evolution of the industry from where we were 20 or 30 years ago, bringing recognition to the developers for a job well done,\u201d said Kumar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe growth in the industry is extremely important and during a period such as now, when the property market may not be performing at its best, a lot rests on the shoulders of the developers, and of course, various other stakeholders to steer us and our country through the rough seas.\u201d<\/p>\n
All shortlisted finalists in Malaysia will be recognised either as Winner or Highly Commended during the gala dinner that will host around 300 key senior figures from real estate and related industries. This year\u2019s event will once again be graced by Tunku Seri Menanti Tunku Ali Redhauddin ibni Tuanku Muhriz, chairman of PropertyGuru Malaysia.<\/p>\n
“It is our pleasure to announce the full shortlist of deserving nominees. Together these companies represent the best of the industry as selected by its leaders,\u201d said PropertyGuru Malaysia country manager Sheldon Fernandez.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn today’s challenging market conditions, Malaysian consumers can certainly rely on a trusted source of recommendations for outstanding real estate developments such as the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Malaysia) to aid them in making confident property decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aside from the completion categories, there will be a special presentation during the ceremony for the 2017 Malaysia Real Estate Personality of the Year winner Glen Chan, CEO and managing director of Pacific Star Development Ltd, who was chosen by the editors of PropertyGuru Property Report magazine for elevating the standards of mixed-use and leisure developments in the country. Chan spearheaded the award-winning Puteri Cove Residences project, which is set to be completed by year-end.<\/p>\n
The highly anticipated black-tie awards gala evening takes places on Thursday, 17 August 2017, at the InterContinental Kuala Lumpur. It begins with an hour of cocktail reception, followed by the opening remarks, a four-course dinner, and the awards ceremony proper. More than 20 categories will be handed out during the three-hour long presentation.<\/p>\n
