The Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards 2020 celebrated 48 winners, hosted two events simultaneously and provided one unforgettable experience unlike anything the region has seen. More than 100 guests joined the Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards 2020 Winners’ Dinner at The Reverie Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City while another 300 people attended the Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards 2020 Charity Gala at Four Seasons Bangkok.
With travel restrictions preventing everyone from being in a single location, an innovative approach was required for this year’s celebration. Winners from across the region were honored at both events while live broadcasts meant everyone was connected.
In Ho Chi Minh City, a poignant talkshow hosted by Nguyen Ngọc Dung, Chief Innovation Officer at VISTI Institute of Science, Technology and Innovation, discussed the impact innovation has had on the real estate sector. The celebration was capped off with the announcement that Sun World Ba Na Hills from Sun Group was voted as Southeast Asia People’s Choice Award for Project of the Year 2020.
In Bangkok, the Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards 2020 Charity Gala was one of the very first events to be held at the brand new Four Seasons Bangkok. Guests were treated to a firework show over the Chao Phraya River as part of a full slate of activities. The night was extra special for Thai developer SC Asset who took home Developer of the Year 2020.
Together we are strong was a key message throughout the Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards 2020 Winners’ Dinner. In that spirit, a special charity campaign between Dot Property, its partners and Habitat for Humanity, a global charity improving the quality of life for people by building homes and transforming communities.
For winners, a victory at the Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards 2020 allowed them to end one of the most challenging years with something to be proud of. Among this year’s winners in the developer categories were Cat Tuong Group (Vietnam), KSK Land (Malaysia) and Paramount Land (Indonesia).
