Ayala Land wins the highest award as Real Estate Developer of the Year for South East Asia, two months after its win as the Real Estate Developer of the Year for the Philippines award.
The South East Asia Property Awards showcases the best and brightest in South East Asia’s real estate industry, highlighting top-tier developers, projects, and services all over the region. The awards feature high calibre work in the industry ranging from construction, architecture, and interior design, and rewards developers, consultants, architects, and designers. The awards started in Thailand in 2005 and has since expanded its scope to China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and recently the Philippines, which only started giving out its own Philippine Property Awards in 2013.
This year, Ayala Land bested other contenders for the Real Estate Developer of the Year award, including Major Development PCL (Real Estate Developer of the Year – Thailand), Sunway Integrated Properties (Malaysia), Vingroup Joint Stock Company (Vietnam), Sinar Mas Land (Indonesia), and Frasers Centrepoint Ltd (Singapore). The judges noted Ayala Land’s diverse product offering – “everything from affordable to luxury [homes], vertical to horizontal, hotels, retail; and their presence goes beyond Metro Manila and extends in other cities in the Philippines as well..”
Ayala Land President and CEO Bernard Vincent O. Dy was present at the Shangri-la Hotel Singapore last October 16 to personally accept the award. In his acceptance speech, he noted “To win this award and join the ranks of other outstanding developers is truly an honor and gives us great pride.”
Dy cites the company’s long-term vision and social responsibility as two key factors to success. “This is truly something that has shaped Ayala Land from the very beginning – the preference of leaving a long-term legacy and the desire to create lasting value for generations,” he mentions. Particular to Ayala Land, mixed-use integrated communities such as Makati Central Business District and Nuvali comprise this legacy. “We believe that large estate developments are the best way our company can foster more inclusive growth, as we help grow economic activity in more areas.”
For Ayala Land, more rewarding work lies ahead. “We will continue to remain true to our commitment to be a strong partner in nation-building, aligned with our vision and goals in the coming years – to enhance land and enrich the lives of more Filipinos,” says Dy.
Ayala Land also received high commendations in the South East Asia Property Awards for its other developments, such as the Bonifacio High Street by Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation for Landscape Architectural Design, Abreeza Residences by Alveo Land for Condo Design, and Avida Parkway Settings for Best Housing Design (Philippines).
