Who it is for. The whole value chain in Hong Kong — developers and master developers, REITs and property funds, agencies, property and facilities managers, contractors and fit-out firms, surveyors, consultants, valuers and proptech companies. What it judges. Delivery, performance, customer experience, quality and sustainability. The supplied category sheet has no separate set for this programme, so nominees use the 75 published real-estate and construction categories and the awards team confirms fit. Cost and dates. From USD 299; entries close on 15 September 2026.
Golden Tree Events LLC founded the World Real Estate Excellence Awards in Dubai in 2021; four editions have been held and the official site is worldrealestateaward.com. It recognises excellence across the value chain, judged against published criteria by an independent jury.
Hong Kong's property industry is the defining industry of the city: developers whose portfolios span the skyline and now the Northern Metropolis, REITs and funds managing assets across Asia, a rail operator that builds above its stations, agencies serving one of the world's most expensive housing markets, contractors adopting modular construction, and a proptech sector born of small flats and high rents.
Who should participate
Eligible nominees work anywhere in the real-estate value chain:
- Real estate developers and master developers
