Lamudi, the leading Philippine real estate online platform, has officially opened nominations for The Outlook, a gala that honors the projects and developers that made the biggest impact in local real estate in the past year. This year, Philippine real estate developers are invited to nominate their own new developments to compete in various award categories.
“The past few years have been good to Philippine real estate, as evidenced by the rise of some of the most magnificent developments in the country. The aim of Lamudi’s The Outlook is not just to recognize the excellence of the industry’s top projects and the achievement of their developers. We also want to ensure that the public is fully aware of the projects they should anticipate and consider as a potential investment,” Lamudi CEO and Managing Director Bhavna Suresh said.
For the 2018 awards, condos, subdivisions, and mixed-use developments will not be the only types of properties to be recognized. Nominations will also be accepted for commercial developments, namely: hotels, retail developments, shared office spaces, and alternative living spaces.
“The addition of these new categories ensures that we recognize the achievement of developers beyond houses and condos. The design and construction of commercial developments take as much dedication and skill, which should be brought to light and acknowledged,” Suresh explained.
Awards will also include Best Developer of the Year for Luzon and Visayas, Best Boutique Developer of the Year for Luzon and Visayas, Best Green Project of the Year, Best Innovation Project of the Year, and Personality of the Year.
To nominate a project, developers must visit the Awards page of The Outlook’sofficial website.
Developers can nominate as many properties as they want and in any of the categories, and no fee will be charged to nominate a property. Lamudi will close the nominations on June 15.
