“Against the backdrop of a pandemic and economic disruption, the ULI Asia Pacific Summit has been a wonderful opportunity for us to come together and celebrate truly exemplary real estate projects across the region, which will inspire our industry,” said Nicholas Brooke, chairman of ULI Asia Pacific. “This is yet another example of the value that ULI contributes to the industry through the sharing of knowledge and dissemination of best practice.”

David Faulkner, president of ULI Asia Pacific, commended the high standard of the entries received and said: “The Awards for Excellence programme is very important for ULI as it provides recognition for outstanding development projects and initiatives, and the great work of architects, developers and investors, which we can all learn from. The diverse range of projects from across our region demonstrates that the value of this competition. The winners can be tremendously proud of what they have achieved and we are enormously grateful for the time and effort that have gone in to all of the submissions as part of the process and for the tireless work of our jury members.”

“The ULI Asia Pacific Awards for Excellence have gone from strength-to-strength since the competition was first held in 2019,” said Peter Holland, jury chair, director of Cistri, and ULI Global Trustee. “This year, we received our highest number of entries, and the calibre of the projects keeps growing, which made it particularly difficult to narrow the competition to just twelve winners. Whilst the projects vary significantly in scale, typology and geography, they do however, have one common feature: they are all outstanding projects in their own right and they reflect ULI principles.”

The ULI Asia Pacific Awards for Excellence programme recognises the full development process of a project, not just its architecture and design. Projects and programmes are evaluated according to the extent to which they:

• achieve marketplace acceptance/financial success;

• achieve a high standard of excellence across all disciplines—architecture, design, planning, construction, amenities, economics, and management, etc.;

• demonstrate relevance to the contemporary and future needs of the community in which they are located;

• have a positive impact in their communities and/or immediate context;

• exhibit environmental sustainability, stewardship, and resilience; and

• provide models, lessons, strategies, or techniques that other communities can replicate or adapt.

  
  

The international jury that selected the winning projects is made up of leading ULI members representing multidisciplinary real estate expertise, including finance, planning, development, design, and other professional services. In addition to Peter Holland, the 2021 ULI Asia Pacific Awards for Excellence jury members across all seven councils in Asia Pacific were: Albert Chan, director, Shui On Land; Rebecca Cheng, director, KPF; Ame Engelhart, director, SOM; Siew Leng Fun, chief urban designer, URA; Choon Fah Ong, CEO, Edmund Tie & Co; Gordon Hatton, vice president, head of Japan, Pembroke; Sang Hun Yim, director, IGIS Asset Management; Ko Iwahori, managing partner, Acadia Capital/Mitsubishi Estate; Roger Nelson, managing director, NH Architecture; Bob Pratt, managing director/global co-head of design & construction, Tishman Speyer; Adrian To, general manager, Swire Properties; and Sylvester Wong, vice president, AECOM.

All of the winning entries will be automatically entered into the 2021 ULI Global Awards for Excellence.  ULI will announce the winners of the Global Awards for Excellence in conjunction with the ULI Fall Meeting in October. A recording of the ceremony is now available on ULI’s Knowledge Finder platform.
