Vietnam’s property ceremony nears

The presentation of the Vietnam Property Awards will take place in August in Ho Chi Minh City

More real estate investors are beginning to notice Vietnam as a popular destination. With a thriving economy, and recent legislation making it easier for property investors to conduct business, the Vietnamese market has emerged as a hotspot for property investment.

There has been a giant influx of both local and international developers, all keen to get recognition from professionals, and thus develop their credibility with customers.

Vietnam’s realtors have that support via the industry-leading Vietnam Property Awards, which is held by Asia’s leading property portal group, PropertyGuru.

As part of the Asia Property Awards, a programme established in 2005, the Vietnam Property Awards are considered the most credible real estate awards platform in the country. The platform provides a venue to acknowledge the extraordinary achievements of Vietnam’s best developers and developments.

Vietnam’s local competition was introduced in 2015, and has earned praise from both participants and senior industry partners. At the fourth annual gala dinner in 2018, a total of 43 awards were presented to more than 25 companies and public-private entities.

Winners included CapitaLand Vietnam, KIEN A Corporation, Alpha King, and SonKim Land Corporation. SonKim Land went on to achieve the Best Boutique Developer in Asia at the regional Asia Property Awards Grand Finale ceremony in Thailand.

“In my new role at PropertyGuru, I am thrilled to join a team of like-minded professionals whose mission is to recognise, promote, and celebrate quality. I look forward to working with the team and taking the awards to new heights,” said Jules Kay, the recently appointed director of the Asia Property Awards.

The PropertyGuru Vietnam Property Awards has an unparalleled reputation for being credible, fair, and transparent. The competition is free to enter and the contestants are judged by an independent panel of experts.

Furthermore, to ensure the utmost impartiality throughout the competition, the judging process is supervised by BDO, one of the world’s largest auditing and accountancy networks, which has supported the programme for more than a decade.

This year’s winners will be announced at an exclusive gala dinner and presentation ceremony on August 23 at the InterContinental Saigon Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. The occasion will be the culmination of a series of thorough judging stages, which includes the screening of nominations from the public, site visits for entrants in the development categories, detailed inspections, and final judging deliberations.

More than 500 distinguished guests and key figures in the sector will join the ceremony, including members of the Vietnam Real Estate Association, the country’s largest property organisation.

With recognition for outstanding design, construction, customer care, corporate social responsibility, green developments, and public facilities, the gala ceremony will present more than 40 competitive and special awards, showcasing the highest standards of Vietnamese real estate.

PropertyGuru’s Vietnam Property Awards has set a high benchmark, and each year the competition surpasses the expectations of the independent judging panel. With the upcoming competition, the awards will continue to ensure that the achievements of Vietnamese real estate professionals are recognised and showcased to a wider regional audience.
