• MIPIM Asia Awards 2019 Unveiling

    4 October 2019

    (26 September 2019, Paris) The Asia-Pacific’s most ambitious, innovative and revelatory real estate projects have been chosen as winners of the MIPIM Asia Awards 2019 – the leading regional property awards otherwise known as the “Oscars of the Asian real estate world”.

    A total of 33 trailblazing property developments have been recognised with the influential industry honour, revealed ahead of MIPIM Asia Summit 2019, the continent’s leading property summit, coming to Hong Kong SAR on November 26-27.

    “Winning a MIPIM Asia Award has long been established as one of the most prestigious prizes for real estate projects across the APAC region,” said MIPIM Director Ronan Vaspart. “We celebrate the developers, architects, government authorities and other property visionaries who push the boundaries, break the rules, and make unimaginable possibilities the solid realities of our skylines,” he added.

    Founded in 2007, the annual MIPIM Asia Awards celebrate the most technically impressive and inventive property developments from across the APAC region, considering both finished developments and un-built projects in the planning stage.

    The jury, chaired this year by François Trausch, CEO of Allianz Real Estate, Germany, reviewed a record total of 132 entries, which were whittled down to the final 33 winners, drawn from 8 countries, by the esteemed judging panel of 18 industry experts. The jury meeting was held this year at naked Castle in Moganshan, Zhejiang Province, China, which was Gold Winner of the MIPIM Asia Awards 2018 in the category Best hotel & tourism development.
