The local edition will include more than 20 categories – up from this original 13 categories in 2017 – covering various segments to represent the best real estate on the entire island.
Nominations are now open for eligible entries in the Developer, Development and Design categories and will be accepted until 11 May, with the official shortlist to be revealed in the first week of June.

"Since 2005, the Asia Property Awards series has been widely recognised across the region for its prestige and credibility, as well as lavish black-tie gala events.”
