EdgeProp announces winners of EdgeProp Excellence Awards 2023; Sustainable Spaces the theme year
At a gala luncheon and dinner on October 6th, EdgeProp Singapore announced the winners of its 7th annual EdgeProp Excellence Awards (EPEA). Guest-of-Honour Mr Desmond Lee, Minister for National Development & Minister-in-charge of Social Services Integration, presented the Sustainability Excellence Awards. The Sustainable Spaces theme at this years’ Awards saw City Developments, GuocoLand, and UOL Group emerge as major winners with more than 7 awards each.
AMO Residence and Lentor Modern clinched all 7 Excellence awards in the Uncompleted Residential category. The celebrations were held in two parts; the first part being a luncheon to celebrate the top transacting real estate salespersons, and the second part being a dinner to celebrate the outstanding property developers and their developments.
At the magnificent dinner event, 220 guests were in attendance, including key VIPs in the real estate industry. “This is our 7th annual EdgeProp Excellence Awards here in Singapore, and our most meaningful edition yet. The term ‘sustainable’ in this context is two-fold. On one hand, it represents our collective effort towards meeting Singapore’s net-zero emissions target by 2050. But ‘sustainable’ also speaks to another critical aspect of our journey. It refers to ensuring affordable and sufficient housing, which meets not only the basic needs but also the aspirations of Singaporeans. It’s about making sure every Singapore resident has a place to call home, a space to grow, dream, and thrive.” delivered Bernard Tong, CEO of EdgeProp Singapore.
Minister Desmond Lee also graced the occasion with an opening address, lauding the ensuing success in Singapore’s real estate industry. “Today, we celebrate the success of many outstanding projects, and the collective effort by all to bring our real estate industry to greater heights. These projects are not just developments or assets, but they are the places that many of us proudly call home,” he said. He also spoke on the importance of climate change, and how the Singapore Green Plan 2030 is a whole-of-nation movement aiming to galvanise climate action.
The esteemed judges of EPEA 2022 were Angela Lim, Co-founder of SuMisura; Desmond Sim, CEO of Edmund Tie & Company; Sky Seah, Academic Director at National University of Singapore; Tang Kok Thye, Associate Partner of ADDP Architects LLP; Yvonne Tan, Director of DP Green; and Bernard Tong, CEO of EdgeProp Singapore. The sustainability scoring methodology was developed by CPG Corporation, carefully reviewed by KPMG Singapore. After judging the nominees based on six categories: Landscape, Design, Innovation, Sustainability, Showflat, and Marketing, the aggregated scores were carefully reviewed.”Lastly, to all the winners of this year’s awards, congratulations. You have crafted not just structures from an empty field, but spaces that people are proud to call home.” congratulated Tong.
The event is sponsored by Geberit Southeast Asia, V-Zug Singapore and Mitsubishi Electric Asia Pacific, Official Knowledge Partners KPMG Singapore and CPG Corporation, and Supporting Partners Cosentino and Surface iD Studio.
The gala luncheon in the earlier part of the day was the first of its kind – dedicated to celebrating the top transacting real estate salespersons. “Elevated inflation and soaring interest rates, compounded by cooling measures and buyers’ fatigue, the second half of 2022 and 2023 have proven to be challenging and competitive to most in the industry. Looking ahead, we’re in the midst of a big shake-up across various sectors, including real estate, all thanks to the constant progress in technology. Adaptability, embracement of innovation and technology is the compass guiding firms to excel in this modern era.” Tong concluded.
Below is a complete list of awards and winners:
Orchard Boulevard Condo, located right in the heart of Orchard Road, will be at the centre of this transformation. It will be a prime residential destination and provide a vibrant entertainment experience with excellent facilities and amenities for its residents. Additionally, it will also be one of the first few developments to enjoy the green spaces, lush landscaping, and exciting new retail offerings on the redeveloped stretch of Orchard Road.
