2017 MIPIM Asia Awards Winners Unveiled

PARIS, FRANCE and HONG KONG, CHINA--(Marketwired - Oct 12, 2017) - Reed MIDEM, organiser of MIPIM Asia, today announces the 33 winners of its 2017 MIPIM Asia Awards competition.

The annual awards' showcase is a highlight of MIPIM Asia, Asia Pacific's premier property leaders' summit. The 33 winners will contend for Gold, Silver and Bronze honours at the MIPIM Asia Awards Gala Dinner, which takes place at the Grand Hyatt, Hong Kong on 29 November 2017.

The MIPIM Asia Awards, launched in 2007, recognise the most outstanding projects in the real estate industry in APAC. The competition is open to developers, architects, retailers, municipal and local authorities, and any organisation which contributes to real estate development in Asia.

"The MIPIM Asia Awards are known across the region as the benchmark for showcasing achievement in the property industry," said Ronan Vaspart, MIPIM Director, Reed MIDEM. "The world's foremost development, architectural and design firms regard these awards as the highest level of recognition for all professionals in the built environment."

The location of submitting companies and their respective projects reveals the strength of the real estate industry in several key cities and regions across Southeast Asia. Projects from mainland China and Hong Kong figure strongly in the line-up of MIPIM Asia Awards finalists in addition to entries from Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand.

Nicholas J. Loup, CEO for Chelsfield Asia and president of the jury for the MIPIM Asia Awards 2017, noted several trends in the submissions. "There is clearly more emphasis on sustainability, urban regeneration and refurbishment," Loup said. "That can be attributed in part to the progression of the industry, and is also a reflection of the evolution of the MIPIM Asia Awards categories. There is also a good spread of coverage of architectural firms from different countries that are getting into the awards, and a broader cross-section of design."

MIPIM Asia delegates will vote for their favourite projects at the MIPIM Asia Summit in Hong Kong.
The MIPIM Asia Summit takes place 28-29 November 2017 at the Grand Hyatt, Hong Kong. The Summit is the premier regional real estate event of the year, bringing together the most influential professionals from all sectors of the property industry for networking and learning through premium events, conferences and the exhibition zone.
