NINETEEN companies have been officially shortlisted for the 2018 PropertyGuru Philippines property awards, presented by Kohler.
The shortlist is led by Megaworld Corporation, two-time winner of the coveted Best Developer award, with a total of eight nominations. Next in line with seven nominations is SM Keppel Land Inc.
Several developers with current projects in Metro Cebu and Ilolio also made the cut, led by boutique developer ArthaLand Corporation and its Cebu Lavana Land Corporation subsidiary, which earned a combined five nominations.
Other provincial developers on the list include Cebu Landmasters, AppleOne Mactan, Grand Land, and Canyon Estates Incorporated / G2 Global Incorporated, with a collective haul of 13 nominations. Along with established nominees such as Ortigas & Company, Alveo Land, and Century Properties Group Inc, a few emerging developers and companies also made the list, including D.M. Wenceslao & Associates, Crown Asia Properties, Grand Taipan, Exquadra, and Posco. Dr Jaime A. Cura (shown here), chairman of the judging panel, attributed the appearance on the shortlist of these emerging companies to the underlying strength of the Philippine real estate sector. The top developers will be recognised at a gala dinner on May 11 at the Fairmont Makati.
