There is plenty of sparkle and flair in the urban landscape here, going by the gongs bestowed at a major awards gala last night.
Prizes – judged on criteria such as design, functionality, and community and environmental impact – were conferred on 18 real estate projects that will now go on to compete on the world stage next year.
The hotels, homes, and office and industrial buildings were feted yesterday at the Singapore Property Awards held by the national chapter of Paris-based international real estate federation Fiabci.
Far East Organization was the night’s big winner with four prizes.
UOL Group, Qingjian Realty and City Developments Limited (CDL) bagged two medals each.
Far East’s 31-storey SBF Centre in Robinson Road was one of two projects singled out by Fiabci-Singapore for “interesting concepts and designs”. The other was the mixed-use South Beach project, a tie-up between CDL and a Malaysian developer, which won in the sustainable development field.
