CapitaLand Development (CLD) of CapitaLand Group has won the ‘Best Sustainable Developer’ award at the prestigious PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final 2021. 

The award recognises excellence on the part of developers who have consistently implemented environmentally-conscious designs, used low-impact construction materials and installed energy- and waste-efficient systems in their buildings.

CapitaLand Development was honoured as the ‘Best Sustainable Developer’ at the prestigious PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final.

The PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards Grand Final is one of the region’s most renowned real estate honours, with top country winners vying to be recognised as the ‘Best in Asia’. CLD had earlier won for ‘Best Sustainable Developer’ at the PropertyGuru Vietnam Property Awards in November. 

Mr Ronald Tay, CEO of CLD (Vietnam), said: “As a responsible real estate developer, sustainability is at the core of what we do. Guided by CapitaLand’s 2030 Sustainability Master Plan, CLD consistently embeds environmental considerations into every stage of our real estate life cycle, from investment to development and operations. 

“Achieving the ‘Best Sustainable Developer’ award at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards is a recognition of CLD’s steadfast commitment and concerted efforts in this regard. We strive to not only improve the overall well-being of our customers, but also do our part to encourage more to lead more eco-conscious lifestyles. 

“We are honoured and humbled that CLD Vietnam and our developments have won more than 70 local and international awards throughout our more than 25 years in Vietnam, affirming our capabilities. 

“We remain committed to designing and creating high-quality and sustainable developments to enrich the lives of our shared communities.”
