The Real Estate Personality of the Year is the only award not chosen by
the independent panel of judges. After much consideration, the recipient
is selected by the PropertyGuru Property Report editorial team. This
special award aims to recognise an individual for displays of innovation
and ambition, and their lasting contributions to and achievements in the
real estate industry.
This year, the winners of this prestigious honour have joined the elite ranks
of past recipients, including former Philippine Senate president Manny
Villar (Vista Land & Lifespaces Inc), Myanmar’s top business leader Serge
Pun (SPA Group of Companies), Indonesian tycoon Candra Ciputra (PT
Ciputra Development Tbk), Lan Kwai Fong founder Dr Allan Zeman, and
US-born Thai hotel magnate William “Bill” E. Heinecke (Minor Group).
