A wide net of recognition

The 2024 awards for Australia comprise 102 categories, casting a wide net of recognition over outstanding real estate enterprises, developments, and designs throughout the continent. Categories cover the finest developers and projects not only in New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria but also in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia.

New categories include the never-before-presented ESG awards, recognising companies that advocate for and excel in sustainable design, sustainable construction, energy efficiency, and social impact. Other new categories stand to honour outstanding condominium and housing developments for investment, as well as nature-integrated developments and even sales galleries.

New chairperson, supporting association

An independent panel of expert judges fairly and transparently determines the shortlist of nominees and list of winners. The judging panel conducts its duties this year under a new chairperson: Ivan Lam, head of international business, Charter Keck Cramer.

Mr. Lam succeeds Lui Violanti, regional manager, Western Australia, Inhabit Group, who remains on the programme as vice-chairperson of the judging panel.

Mr. Lam said:“It's evident that Australia remains a top choice for property seekers from all over Asia-Pacific. The return of buyers, from families of international students to investors looking for great returns, underscores Australia's importance on the global stage. As we appreciate the investment shifts and trends that move this property market, we are thrilled to recognise and reward the developers at the forefront of this transformation, creating spaces that resonate with property seekers at home and abroad.”

This year, the awards programme has added the Australian Property Developers Association as supporting association, joining such esteemed organisations as Australia Malaysia Business Council Victoria and Melbourne Chinatown Association in celebrating the Gold Standard of real estate.

The entire selection process is made credible and impartial under the supervision of Josh Chye, partner, tax consulting, HLB Mann Judd.

Strengthened appeal

The latest edition of the awards launches as Australia recovers and strengthens its appeal to overseas property buyers, according to Property Report by PropertyGuru, the official magazine.

Record sale prices have been reported around the country, from award-winning waterfront residences to large estates and apartment units, while institutional investors and international students have resumed exploring new opportunities nationwide.

Jules Kay, general manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, said: "As we enter our seventh year of celebrating success in the country's real estate sector, Australia's appeal to property seekers from Asia remains strong. Amid global uncertainties, Australia offers a well-regulated environment, attracting international investors as a haven of stability and opportunity. From the picturesque waterfronts of Gold Coast to the multicultural cities of tomorrow in New South Wales and Victoria, Australia offers some of the finest lifestyle value propositions in the world. The PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards amplify this message, providing a platform to showcase Australia's best real estate to the rest of Asia-Pacific.”

Joining Mr. Kay at the launch event was Travis Su, managing partner of Skyland Group, winner of the Best Luxury Boutique Developer title at the 6th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Australia) 2023.
