The Philippines Property Awards 2017 will celebrate the event’s fifth anniversary with several new awards categories and a record number of entries expected. The awards will celebrate Philippines’ best property developers and developments located in a number of the country’s markets including Mega Manila, Metro Cebu and Davao.
There will be a new award, Special Recognition in Sustainable Development, which will honor the sustainable initiatives of outstanding developers from Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao. Additionally, new awards for Best Mixed-use Development and Best BPO Office Development will also be handed out at the ceremony. The new categories reflect the rapid growth of these sectors in the Philippines.
It will be tough for any developer to match the record-breaking 17 awards and highly commended honors Megaworld Corporation scooped up at the previous event including the Best Developer (Philippines). Other developers to take home multiple awards included SM Group and Vista Land Group, whose chairman, Manny Villar, was honored as the Real Estate Personality of the Year by Property Report Magazine.
Each year, more than 300 industry-leading figures, C-level executives, architects, designers, suppliers, construction, real estate and media professionals attend the Philippines Property Awards. The Property Report Congress Philippines, a top-level conference featuring Asia’s industry leaders, is also scheduled to return again this year and will take place prior to the awards.
Nominations for the 5th annual Philippines Property Awards are currently being accepted. There is no fee to enter and submissions can be made by developers, consumers and the general public.
The official shortlist will be announced by an independent judging panel in early April 2017 and feature one winner and up to four highly commended in each category. The black-tie gala dinner and awards ceremony will go ahead on 4th May 2017 at the Fairmont Makati.
