Ladies and gentlemen, real estate aficionados, and those with a keen eye for exceptional development, lend me your screens! We’re about to embark on a riveting ride through the grandeur of the Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards 2023. This glittering event unfolded at the resplendent Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chaophraya River, where industry titans mingled, the champagne flowed like enchanting conversations, and the Bangkok skyline was lit with celebratory pyrotechnics.
Heralding the night of nights, 46 crown jewels of the Southeast Asian real estate cosmos were anointed, with the crème de la crème being Asset Wise PCL of Thailand, who clinched the much coveted Developer of the Year 2023 accolade. The limelight didn’t just shine on the titans of Thailand, for the Philippines’ RLC Residences stole hearts with Le Pont Residences, seizing the illustrious Project of the Year 2023 title.
While we traverse turbulent economic tides and navigate the narrows of tightened financial channels, our valiant victors stood tall. Their adaptability and resilience, akin to architectural marvels withstanding the winds of change, were hailed. According to Adam Sutcliffe, Dot Property’s dashing Director of Events and International Markets, these paragons of property prowess have met the discerning demands of today’s home seekers—be it urban verticality or bucolic villas—with aplomb.
Asset Wise PCL, our developer du jour, surged through Bangkok’s fierce affordable condominium frontier, launching an army of 15 projects, amassing almost 30 billion baht. Their upward trajectory of 183% year-on-year, is nothing short of magnificent. In the words of their visionary leader, Kromchet Vipanpong, this triumph is a testament to their relentless pursuit of perfecting the art of providing quality homes that won’t break the bank.
Then, we cast a lens over to Singapore, the island city-state sparkling like a diamond tiara. Here, luxury took form at Marina One Residences by M+S Residential Pte., winning the Best Luxury Condominium Architectural Design, and Capitaland raising the Best Developer Luxury Condominium trophy high into the night sky.
From Malaysia’s green warriors Gamuda Land, crowned with the laurel of Best Sustainable Developer, to Indonesia’s, Cambodia’s, and Vietnam’s shining stars, this celebration was a patchwork quilt of magnificence stitched together with the threads of excellence.
Let’s spotlight some notable entities who have graced the roll call:
- PHirst Park Homes Inc (Philippines) – Champion of Affordable Housing
- Botanica Luxury Phuket (Thailand) – A repeat winner for their regal retreats
- Capitaland (Singapore) – The luxury condominium connoisseurs
With Kingbridge Tower (Thailand) ruling the roost for Best Iconic Urban Development, it’s clear that awe-inspiring edifices and visionary planning are at the heart of the region’s urban reimagining.
Also, a symphony of praise for the winsome real estate agencies, with PropertyLimBrothers (Singapore) sweeping up the inaugural Agency Excellence Award for Real Estate Content and Innovation—a beacon for creativity and market ingenuity.
A round of applause for Savills, our esteemed Awards Consultants, the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chaophraya River for laying out a feast for the senses, and Mercedes-Benz Primus Autohaus for the stylish commute.
As we close the curtain on this exhilarating exposition, let’s tip our hats to the developers, architects, and dream weavers who have embellished the fabric of Southeast Asia with their masterpieces. Start your engines for the Dot Property Awards 2024, for indeed, the best is yet to come.
