Known as one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting property markets, the Philippines’ biggest real estate awards held its official press conference last29 October, at the Namayan Room of the Fairmont Makati, the official hotel venue sponsor of the Philippines Property Awards 2016.
This is the fourth consecutive year that Ensign Media organized the Philippines Property Awards. The award giving body is widely recognized in the industry for its fairness and transparency. The Awards will begin accepting nominations from developers and the general public on 29 November 2015. Property firms are free to enter as long as a third party nominates them.
In the next six months, the judging panel in the Philippines will be looking for the next Ayala Land Inc, Shang Properties Realty Corp or SM Prime Holdings, all former winners of the Best Developer accolade.. These developers, along with all past winners in various categories of the Philippines Property Awards, have left an indelible mark in the industry and have set a high benchmark by which current and future property developments are measured.
Ayala Land claimed the Best Developer (South East Asia) title in 2014 during the South East Asia Property Awards grand finals held in Singapore. Next year, one outstanding developer from the Philippines could win that honour again.
According to Moody’s Investors Service latest outlook report, the Philippines is enjoying a rare kind of economic resilience that is bound to trickle down to the real estate industry. Despite the 2016 national elections, growth momentum will be sustained, according to the rating agency, “buffeting neighboring countries and emerging markets as a whole.”
There will be 26 trophies to be given away at the awards ceremony next year. Categories are grouped into three main sections, namely Developer, Development and Design, covering the condominium, housing, hotel, office, retail, green and villa segments.
“We’re not only holding a launch party for our 2016 event in the Philippines,” said Terry Blackburn, CEO of Ensign Media, the publisher of Asia’s industry-leading monthly magazine, Property Report. “This is a showcase of our commitment to the country’s exciting real estate market, and to recognise and reward the most significant contributions to the sector from local developers, building on our experience with the Asia Property Awards in the past 10 years.”
The press conference also saw the launch of the second Property Report Congress. After the resounding success of the first Congress, Ensign Media plans to bring together the country’s industry leaders and experts for a Philippine-focused all-day seminar and network event.
As is the case with all the events of the Asia Property Awards, , successful entries will be supervised by one of the world’s largest accounting firms, BDO.
International. Winners will be revealed at the glittering black-tie awards gala on Thursday, 7 April at the Fairmont Makati.
