BANGKOK, Thailand — 13 October 2021

The stage is set for the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards series as it celebrates the Gold Standard of real estate with a compelling mix of virtual celebrations, physical-virtual (hybrid) gala events, and in-person awards receptions.

Organisers of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards programme will properly celebrate the year’s real estate achievements in line with prevailing safety protocols of the respective markets with the optimism of the region’s recovery prospects in the property sector.

The show will go on for the entire 2021 gala series. All events will have Virtual Gala broadcast presentations simulcast on the programme’s official website, AsiaPropertyAwards.com, and livestreaming channels on Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn, with highlights to air on the History Channel.

In select markets across the region, this series of high-production digital experiences will premiere in November 2021 during the exclusive Hybrid Gala Night celebration. Awardees will receive trophies and certificates in person in an intimate but safe, socially distanced setting, in the company of a specially curated guest list of judges, sponsors, industry partners, and members of the media.

In early 2022, awardees in select markets will get the chance to extend the celebration and be invited to gather safely at the exclusive Awards Reception where developers can receive their titles in person before a high-level audience consisting of judges, sponsors, partners, and select members of the press.

Jules Kay, managing director of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, said: “In this exciting period between reopening borders and recovering markets, we are moved to give our titleholders and stakeholders the best of both worlds: the visceral experience of celebrating the achievements of the real estate industry alongside their peers in an exclusive, safe, aspirational setting and the powerful opportunity to spotlight such achievements on the international stage through the wonders of digital and satellite technology.

“Our series of hybrid galas and awards receptions this year and in early 2022 will make this duality possible, a winning option for developers, investors, agents, and consumers standing on the cusp of a post-pandemic world.”
