Nearly 50 accolades are at stake at the 2020 PropertyGuru Vietnam Property Awards, including honours for the country’s Best Developer, Best Boutique Developer, Best Sustainable Developer, Best Breakthrough Developer, Best Lifestyle Developer, Best Commercial Developer, Best Hospitality Developer, Best Industrial Developer, and Best Mixed Use Developer.

There will be development awards for outstanding new properties in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Phu Quoc, Khanh Hoa, and Halong Bay, as well as Best Green Development, various design and some special awards for CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and for Building Communities.

Nominations are expected to cover breakthroughs in development and design as well as achievements in niche property segments for which one of Southeast Asia’s most active real estate markets is increasingly known.

An independent panel of experts will deliberate on these nominations, led by returning awards chairperson Thien Duong, managing director at Transform Architecture.  

Following a hugely successful gala event at the InterContinental Saigon Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City last year, the PropertyGuru Vietnam Property Awards’ move to the GEM Centre in 2020 is notable, since the event is expected to host the largest number of guests ever for the prestigious competition, as it continues to influence the local property market by elevating the standard of quality.

The 6th PropertyGuru Vietnam Property Awards itself is expected to draw more than 600 guests, including top brass from development firms and execs in property consultancy, construction, marketing, proptech, law, finance, architecture and design.
