Singapore project finalist in 35th ULI Global Awards

 

The Urban Land Institute (ULI) has selected local development, The Quayside Collection, as one of the 27 projects as finalists in the 35th annual ULI Global Awards for Excellence, which recognizes the best real estate projects across the globe.

Developed by Cityview Place Holding and designed by Axis Architects Planners, the mixed-used residential development offers a waterfront lifestyle to residents.

The selected finalists will be trimmed down into a smaller group to be announced in November during the ULI Fall Meeting in Chicago.

Commenting on the selection, Jury Chairman, M. Leanne Lachman, President of Real Estate Consulting firm Lachman Associates LLC in New York said: “From an impressive array of submissions, ULI’s Global Awards Jury selected 27 outstanding projects, each of which positively impacts its larger community – sometimes modestly, but often massively.”

“The finalists span the globe, from South America to Asia, from North America to Europe, and we are particularly happy to share that diversity. All projects exhibit innovations in design, sustainability, adaptability to their surroundings, financial solidity, and provision of enjoyment to their many users.  In one way or another, each finalist wowed the jury, which will make selection of the winners a real challenge.”
