Real Estate & Construction Awards in Hong Kong

Property is Hong Kong's defining industry. A handful of developers own the towers, malls and estates; the government's Northern Metropolis and Kai Tak programmes are reshaping where the city grows; REITs and property funds manage assets across Asia from the city; a rail operator finances lines by developing the land above them; agencies large and small turn over a market where a flat costs more per square foot than almost anywhere; contractors are adopting modular integrated construction under Buildings Department and Construction Industry Council programmes; and proptech — leasing platforms, building management, co-living — has grown out of the city's constraints.

The World Real Estate Excellence Awards judges the sector worldwide; the Asia Best of Best Awards has 75 real-estate and construction categories at Asia level; the leadership programmes recognise the chief executives and founders behind the companies.
