PropertyGuru Group (NYSE: PGRU), Southeast Asia’s leading property technology company, recently announced the return of the PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards for its highly anticipated 2024 edition.
The 12th Annual PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, presented by Kohler and supported by Boysen Paints and Dongpeng Ceramic, will be celebrated Friday, 6 September 2024 at Shangri-La The Fort, Manila. Submissions from the industry and the public are now accepted via asiapropertyawards.com/nominations until 14 June 2024.
Diverse honours
With diverse categories up for contention in 2024, the Awards will honour developers across numerous specialisations and locations, alongside recognitions for their operational portfolios and impact in terms of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG). The award categories also recognise achievements in various aspects of development and design, and pay tribute to established and up-and-coming individuals for their contributions to the industry.
An independent panel of experts, representing various segments of the property sector, will conduct a fully transparent judging process, culminating in the selection of shortlisted nominees and announcement of winners. The entire process will be conducted with utmost professionalism and integrity under the supervision of HLB, the global network of independent advisory and accounting firms.
Cyndy Tan Jarabata, chairperson of the independent panel of judges and president of TAJARA Leisure & Hospitality Group Inc., said: “Beyond just celebrating achievements in real estate, the PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards programme has been driving innovation and elevating standards in the industry for 12 years. In 2024, we look forward to informing investors, developers and consumers, especially Filipinos around the world, about the rising quality of real estate in the Philippines, including its luxury and affordable residences; world-class hotels and resorts; experiential retail and F&B hubs; well-equipped industrial spaces; and master-planned estates. Along with the return of tourists, expatriates, and foreign enterprises to the country, the domestic Philippine market has demonstrated a readiness to live, work, thrive, and build wealth in these impressive built spaces. The Philippines’ finest real estate clearly has the best interests of the people in mind and deserves the widely respected, trusted platform provided by the Awards.”
Jules Kay, general manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, joined Ms. Jarabata at the launch event, along with a lineup of esteemed speakers that included John Richard Sotelo, senior vice-president and general manager of RLC Residences and chief marketing officer of Robinsons Land; Kamille Abapo, senior marketing manager of Kohler Philippines, platinum sponsor of the Awards; and Lloyd T. Tan, partner with Diaz Murillo Dalupan and Company – HLB Philippines, the official supervisor of the Awards.
Kay expressed his desire to see more Filipino wins in 2024, “The Philippines has the fundamentals required to grow. You have a consistent foundation, a growing middle class, and a very nimble and intelligent set of developers that move with the market and move with the needs of the buyers. That keeps the Philippines consistently growing, and evolving. It’s exciting for us, therefore, to recognize the developers who are doing the best for the country and for the market.”
