Singaporean developments put up a respectable showing this year picking up regional and international awards
REAL estate companies in Singapore and the rest of Asia are now placing greater emphasis on winning awards that give their projects – as well as the developer the award-winning properties are associated with – an international stamp of quality.

One of the most prestigious international awards a developer can win for his property is the FIABCI Prix d’Excellence. FIABCI is the French acronym for the International Real Estate Federation, which organises the annual Prix d’Excellence to recognise excellence in property development.
Singaporean projects put up a respectable showing this year. Orchard Scotts, by Far East Organization, came up tops in the residential category, while Newton Suites, by UOL Group, took second spot. The St Regis Singapore, by City Developments, Hong Leong Holdings and TID Pte Ltd, won in the hotel category.
Entrants are evaluated on five criteria: global concept, architecture and design, development and construction, community benefit and environmental impact, and financials and marketing. The FIABCI award is especially prized as a project has to do well in all five categories to win acclaim.
Singapore developments have performed well in the FIABCI competition over the past few years, ever since City Developments’ Republic Plaza became the first project to bag the FIABCI Prix d’Excellence overall winner prize in 1997. Other top winners over the years include Suntec City, Prudential Tower, Caribbean at Keppel Bay, the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay, 1 Moulmein Rise and One Raffles Quay. Continue reading →
