MANILA, Philippines – 14 May 2018
Megaworld Corporation, two-time winner of the coveted Best Developer award, defends its title for a third year in a row, becoming the first company in the Philippines to achieve this feat in the prestigious Asia Property Awards series.
Regional
developers also ended the evening with several awards. ArthaLand Corporation won
the second highest award for Best Boutique Developer and the Special
Recognition in Sustainable Development, whilst its Cebu Lavana Land Corporation
subsidiary earned the Best Office Development (Cebu) crown.
Other notable provincial winners include three-time awardees AppleOne Mactan and Grand Land, whilst new entrants such as Grand Taipan and the tandem of Canyon Estates Incorporated/G2 Global Incorporated each won an award.
An
array of special awards was presented as well, such as the Special Recognition
for Public Facility for Terminal 2 of the Mactan Cebu International Airport
(MCIA) by GMR-Megawide Cebu Airport Corporation (GMCAC) consortium. The new
special award expands the scope of the programme to recognise the role of the
government and public entities in the built environment.
Meanwhile,
Robbie Antonio, founder and CEO of Revolution Precrafted – the fastest company
to reach first unicorn startup status in Southeast Asia – was honoured as the
2018 Philippines Real Estate Personality of the Year for changing the concept
of prefabricated, luxury homebuilding not only in the Philippines, but also in
the biggest markets around the world. Antonio aims to "democratise
design" by creating design-forward, limited edition precrafted homes,
pavilions and other related structures, and making them more accessible to the
masses through more competitive costs.
Hari V. Krishnan, CEO,
PropertyGuru Group,
said: “Congratulations to the Winners and Highly Commended companies in the
Philippines. PropertyGuru applauds their contributions that help transform the
fast-growing local property sector and increase the profile of underserved
regional destinations. We are proud of their achievements and innovations,
especially in green, sustainable and township development. We are happy to be
able to do our bit in educating more Filipinos about the best real estate
projects available that will meet or surpass their needs and expectations.”
Terry Blackburn, founder and
managing director of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards, said at the gala dinner : “The
Philippines continues to be a very special market for us. It is a diverse,
exciting, fast-growing real estate market that is welcoming to foreign
investors, are the same today as they were in 2013 when we started the local
awards programme. Although driven by local giants, it is the open and welcoming
business environment that allows new entrants, large and small, to thrive.”
He
added that business opportunities “must go hand in hand with increased
responsibility to the environment, to the community and to your employees” as
the Awards continue to celebrate companies with outstanding CSR and sustainable
development initiatives.
