Major wins at Thailand Awards

Major Development was the big winner at the 2014 Thailand Property Awards, scooping the top accolade of Best Developer in Thailand. Other big winners on the night were Magnolia Quality Development Corporation Limited, who took home three awards and were Highly Commended in two other categories, while Pace Development Corporation PLC took home the highly sought-after 'Best Luxury Condo Development (Bangkok)' award against some tough competition for The Ritz-Carlton Residences at MahaNakhon. Outside of Bangkok, Phuket developers and developments claimed the lion's share of acclaim with four award wins and six Highly Commended, most notable being Point Yamu Villas by COMO by COMO Hotels & Resorts who won 'Best Villa Development (Phuket)' and 'Best Hotel Architectural Design', and were Highly Commended for 'Best Residential Interior Design'. Terry Blackburn, Chief Executive Officer of organisers Ensign Media, said: There were many exceptional entries for the 22 awards this year, and the judges had a tough time in whittling down thousands of nominations, hundreds of entries and visiting more than 40 short-listed developments around the country to finally reach their decisions." Started in Thailand in 2006, the awards programme has expanded Asia-wide, rewarding developments, consultants, architects and designers in China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, with the emerging industry in Myanmar the most recent to be added in 2015.
