A total of 11 of Cambodia’s best real estate developers were revealed to have made the shortlist for the second annual PropertyGuru Cambodia Property Awards 2017. Over 30 projects from Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville joined this year’s competition as it looks to build on the momentum the first awards started.
Shukaku, a residential and commercial developer based in Phnom Penh earned five nominations in the Development and Design categories. The company is up for Best Housing Development (Phnom Penh) and Best Retail Development while its corporate headquarters is nominated for Best Office Development. In that category Shukaku will be competing against 2-time nominee TACC (C.R.) Ltd and its mixed-use The Gateway project.
Other companies that received multiple nominations include Habitat. The developer will be hoping to take home 3 awards including Best Condo Development (Phnom Penh). The twice-nominated Courtyard by Marriott Phnom Penh from developer Khou Investment Co., Ltd; and Les Bijoux d’Angkor are other projects vying for multiple awards.
Borey Peng Huoth won the Best Developer (Cambodia) title at the inaugural Cambodia Property Awards and earned a nomination for its critically-acclaimed Grand Star Platinum project in the Best Housing Development (Phnom Penh) category this year. Grand Star Platinum won 2 awards last year and enters the awards race again due to further development and construction at the property.
“I certainly gained a lot of new knowledge from the other judges, who possess different skills than myself, at every stage of this competition,” says Independent Judging Panel Chairman and Founder and Director of Key Real Estate Co Ltd Sorn Seap. “In the last six months we exchanged expert opinions and technical considerations, and discussed various strengths of each entry. I feel so proud to be a judge for the Cambodia Property Awards 2017.”
