A developer’s reputation is crucial in getting a property buyer’s trust. On 17th August 2017, PropertyGuru Malaysia recognised and awarded some of the most deserving developers in Malaysia. Hosted at the prestigious Intercontinental Hotel of Kuala Lumpur, the fourth annual gala ceremony was presented by Kohler.

Serenaded by an orchestra, the black-tie event was preceded by an elegant 2-hour networking cocktail reception attended by the country’s leading developers. The event was attended by nearly 300 guests, with the Guest of Honour being Yang Amat Mulia Tunku Besar Seri Menanti, Tunku Ali Redhauddin ibni Tuanku Muhriz.

Beginning 8pm, the guests were guided into the ballroom to partake in the sumptuous fine dining, and await the highly anticipated big reveal of the award winners. The winners of the awards were debated and selected over a period of 6 months, by a panel headed by chairman Prem Kumar – executive director of Jones Lang Wootton. There were a total of 21 awards and special recognitions to be presented to 17 shortlisted developers.

According to Kumar, executive director of Jones Lang Wootton, the categories in 2017 were expanded to include segments more relevant to the public, such as affordable housing. This initiative is to encourage developers to cater to different types of Malaysian consumers.

The main domestic winners in Malaysia will now advance to the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final in Singapore this November to compete with peers from 16 other markets in regional categories to be named the ‘Best in Asia.’
