THE PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards will again be celebrated in Melbourne, with a new chairperson appointed in Charter Keck Cramer’s Ivan Lam.
The PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards will be held on 11 October 2024 at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne, marking the second time the awards have been held in Australia.
The 2024 awards for Australia comprise 102 categories, offering recognition in real estate enterprises, developments, and designs across the continent.
With new categories including condominium and housing developments for investment, as well as nature-integrated developments and sales galleries.
An independent panel of expert judges fairly and transparently determines the shortlist of nominees and winners.
“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,” said Jules Kay, general manager at PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events.
“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.”
This year the judging panel will serve under the new chairperson, Ivan Lam, who is head of international business at Charter Keck Cramer.
“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,” said Lam.
“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.”
