2016
Introducing the StarProperty Awards
The year 2016 is a prominent milestone for StarProperty, as it marked the inception of the StarProperty Awards. It started with 10 categories and two All-Stars Awards, namely the Top Ranked Developers Award and The Readers’ & Voters’ Choice Award.
2017
Bigger and better in year two
The StarProperty Awards returned to introduce eight new award categories. This was to reflect the various values that collectively form the basis of quality in town-making, development building and ultimately, the notion of housing the nation’s people.
2018
Looking to the East
Entering its third year, the StarProperty Awards went beyond the Peninsular to extend its influence into East Malaysia. Four new award categories had been added to recognise a wider variety of property design elements and the added geographical location of participants’ projects.
2019
Encompassing a wider field
The StarProperty Awards further expanded to include hotels, landmark public buildings, luxury developments according to price range, and most importantly, acts of kindness, such as corporate social responsibility programs designed to give back to the people. Five new award categories were introduced in 2019.
2020
Putting developer’s performance on the microscope
To further bolster the awards, a list of stringent measurements had been introduced — qualitative and quantitative assessments designed to better vet through, and determine the best developers among them all. Due to the outbreak of Covid-19, the award presentation was done virtually for the first time.
2021
Overcoming the pandemic wave
2021 was no less challenging than 2020. Having gained experience from the first virtual awards, the second virtual fair was much smoother although fewer entries were submitted as many projects were interrupted by the multiple movement control orders.
2022
A resurgence of renewed drive
Riding on the recovery of the Malaysian economy, many property developers launched and reignited their respective projects. The result was that the StarProperty Awards 2022 experienced the most number of participants with 110 entries vying for 30 categories.
2023
A fresh start
For the first time, the All-Stars Awards ranked the Top 10 participating property developers. Similarly, the Top 5 non-listed companies were also ranked. Six new categories were added, making 2023 the year with the most categories with a respectable 96 winners.
