Organised by StarProperty, a wholly owned subsidiary of Star Media Group (SMG), the SPDA is an annual award to recognise developers who have significantly contributed to the growth of Malaysia's real estate industry.

As the year marked the 10th anniversary of the SPDA, a special 10th anniversary revisit also recognised the City of Elmina, Bandar Bukit Raja and Gateway 16 as notable past winners that have maintained their excellence post-development. The projects have previously won The Neighbourhood Award – Best Comprehensive Township (Above 200 Acres) and The Business Estate Award – Best Industrial Park Development and The Investor’s Choice Award – Highest ROI Development respectively.
“We are honoured to be recognised with these prestigious awards, which reflect the outcome of disciplined execution, strong partnerships and the continued support of our customers and stakeholders,” said SDP group managing director and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Azmir Merican.

We remain committed to delivering best-in-class developments that reflect our purpose to be a value multiplier for people, businesses, economies and the planet,” he added.
