Nominees for Cambodia property awards revealed
The official shortlist of nominees for the PropertyGuru Cambodia Property Awards 2018 has been revealed, with developers specialising in mixed-use projects dominating the line-up.
In fact, the top three companies with the most number of nominations are all involved in integrated developments. Borey Peng Huoth Group, the two-time winner of the Best Developer accolade, secured 16 nominations, followed by LIXIN Construction (seven) and Parkway Investment Co Ltd (six).
In addition, the prestigious event is poised to honour Re-Edge Architecture + Design Founder Hun Chansan. He has been chosen by the editors of PropertyGuru Property Report magazine as the country’s Real Estate Personality of the Year for his efforts to raise the profile of Cambodian architects and designers in the global scene.
For the third annual PropertyGuru Cambodia Property Awards, Key Real Estate Co Ltd Founder and Director Sorn Seap will be returning as the Chairman of the judging panel.
Its other members include CBRE Cambodia Director Thida Ann, SokSiphana&associates Managing Partner Sok Siphana and Archetype Cambodia Managing Director Michel Cassagnes. Other experts joining the committee are Urban Assets Solutions Managing Director Simon Griffiths, Comin Khmere Sales & Marketing Manager David Littlejohn, Century 21 Cambodia Executive Director Grace Rachny Fong and Knight Frank [Cambodia] Pte Ltd Country Head Ross Wheble.
“The judges have been universally impressed by the efforts of Cambodian developers to improve their offerings year after year, especially in the mixed-use segment, which has become popular among investors and consumers,” said Terry Blackburn, Founder and Managing Director of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards.
“Cambodia offers a lot of potential and we’re proud of what local developers have accomplished in the last two years that we’ve held the Awards there. We look forward to recognising their contributions to the sector at this year’s ceremony,” he added.
The 2018 PropertyGuru Cambodia Property Awards is supported by platinum sponsor KHI, co-sponsors Jotun and Panasonic, as well as official portal partner Realestate.com.kh.
All nominees will be either named as winners or be highly commended during the awards ceremony, which will be held at a black-tie gala dinner on 16 March 2018 at the ballroom of Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra.
The winners will then advance to the 8th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final, which will be hosted by Thailand for the first-time. It will be held during the two-day PropertyGuru Asia Real Estate Summit at The Athenee Hotel, Bangkok on 8-9 November 2018.
