The 4th Annual PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Sri Lanka) marks the return of Asia’s esteemed real estate awards programme to the island nation, which is in the process of rebuilding after the Easter Sunday attack last year.
A black-tie gala dinner and awards ceremony celebrating the best of the best properties and developers in and around the island nation will take place on Friday, 17 July 2020, at the Shangri-La Colombo.
In the lead up to the event, the general public are invited to submit their nominations until 1 May.

20 November 2020 – Grand Final Gala Ceremony in Bangkok, Thailand
Competitive categories for the 2020 PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Sri Lanka) will search for the finest developments in not only the capital Colombo but also the country’s Southern, Central and North East provinces.
As part of its ongoing expansion in South Asia, the Awards will also take the opportunity to recognise the movers and shakers of the residential property market in the Maldives.
The Awards will have competitive categories open for Best Residential Development (Maldives) and Best Residential Development (Malé), the latter celebrating the finest in the small archipelago’s capital.
The 2019 edition of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Sri Lanka) rewarded some of the biggest developments in the country.
Set to become one of the tallest buildings in South Asia, the 376-metre high project known as The One by The One Transworks Square (Pvt) Ltd. won Best Mixed Use Development at last year’s Awards.
The skyscraper comes with luxury residences, a five-star hotel, commercial spaces, a shopping mall, sky bar, and more.
The One went on to trounce eight massive projects across the region for the honour of Best Mixed Use Development (Asia) at the 14th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final in Bangkok, Thailand.
Dr. Nirmal De Silva, Director and CEO of Paramount Realty, who returns as chairperson of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Sri Lanka), says he’s confident in the region’s real estate prospects for 2020.
“Per the World Bank, South Asia is the highest-growing region at the moment.
We see the region being an emerging tech hub with the ecosystem in every country developing through national-level policies.
This is both an encouraging and exciting trend with South Asia now having the potential to be a driving force and a centre for innovation in the future.”
He adds: “Sri Lanka has slowly but surely started focusing on their ecosystem with a national level agenda, policy framework and multi stakeholder engagement.
It’s fair to say that what we are seeing in the region is not the end but the beginning.”
The 2020 PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Sri Lanka) is supported by official magazine PropertyGuru Property Report; official PR partner PR Wire Sri Lanka; and official supervisor BDO.
