The 12th PropertyGuru Asia Awards Malaysia in partnership with iProperty, presented by Lim Soh & Goonting Advocates & Solicitors, today unveiled the nation’s finest real estate companies and developments during a black-tie gala held at The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur.
Welcome speech by Mr. Jules Kay, General Manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events
Celebrating success across the full spectrum of the property sector, this year’s programme combined the insights of an independent judging panel, comprehensive market data, and public opinion. A total of 73 categories honoured outstanding achievements in Malaysian real estate: from luxury residences to affordable housing, as well as innovative commercial developments nationwide.
JLand Group receives Best Developer (Malaysia)
JLand Group emerged as the year’s most decorated winner, gaining the prestigious Best Developer title for the first time, alongside Best Developer (Southern Malaysia) and Best Industrial Developer. Its flagship township Bandar Dato’ Onn garnered three awards, including Best Township Development (Malaysia), while the company also won for the industrial project Ibrahim Technopolis (IBTEC) – STEPEAST.
Named Best Developer (Central Malaysia), CPI Land triumphed alongside its project Tuan Heritag3 Residency. Interhill Group was awarded Best Developer (East Malaysia) while its subsidiary Interhill Hospitality won Best Hospitality Developer. Interhill Property won for the high-rise Urban Residences.
Berinda Group was awarded Best Sustainable Developer, alongside wins for the projects Ponderosa Vista and City Square Office Tower. Recognised as Best Breakthrough Developer, Faire Development also received awards for the project known as baé.
Mah Sing Group Berhad received the Best Lifestyle Developer title, supported by an award for the project M Terra. MTD Properties was honoured as Best Affordable Homes Developer while TSLAW Land was awarded Best Boutique Developer.
Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS) received the Sustainable Design Champion and Low Carbon Champion titles
Garnering a total of seven awards this year, Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS) received the Sustainable Design Champion and Low Carbon Champion titles for imbuing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards into its core strategies. PKNS also collected trophies for Aludra Residensi, Linkar 52, and Galeria SA Sentral.
Other developers with winning projects include Armani Group; Astaka Padu Sdn Bhd; Axteria Group Berhad; BCB Development Sdn Bhd.; City Motors Group; Coronade Properties Sdn Bhd; Country View Berhad; Exal
(Malaysia) Sdn Bhd; Gunung Impian Development Sdn Bhd; IIB Land Sdn.

A milestone at this year’s gala was the presentation of the Consumer Demand Awards, a new set of honours based not on jury deliberation but on preferences of Malaysians actively searching for property on the country’s leading marketplaces: PropertyGuru.com.my and iProperty.com.my. These data-driven awards celebrated the developments most in demand among property seekers nationwide and overseas.
The inaugural Consumer Demand Award winners are City Square Office Tower by Berinda Group; Leisure Farm by Mulpha International; Mutiara Central Cheras by Mutiara Johan Group; R&F Princess Cove by R&F Development Sdn Bhd; and The Exchange 106 by Mulia Property Development Sdn Bhd.
In another consumer-driven segment, the People’s Choice Awards returned this year, recognising 10 developers in Malaysia as the most trusted and preferred by residents. The winners are Berinda Group; CPI Land; Gunung Impian Development Sdn Bhd; Mah Sing Group Berhad; Malton Berhad; Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS); Platinum Victory; Tiland Group; Tropicana Corporation Berhad; and TRX City Sdn Bhd. The winners were voted for by the public from a shortlist of 30 leading developers.
Datuk Sr Mohd Salem Kailany, group chief executive officer of KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd, accepted the Real Estate Personality of the Year title from the editorial team of Property Report by PropertyGuru for leading one of Malaysia’s largest REIT and overseeing landmark assets such as the Petronas Twin Towers. Dato’ Sri Jerry Kwan Aik Khai, founder and managing director of JRK Holdings Berhad, received this year’s Rising Star award from PropertyGuru.com.my and iProperty.com.my for inspiring Malaysia’s next generation of developers: transforming his construction firm into a renowned developer specialising in high-rise structures and more.
Jules Kay, general manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, said: “Our awards in Malaysia have diversified over the years to not only celebrate real estate excellence, but also capture the pulse of the market. These accolades reflect developers’ willingness to innovate and harness the power of data to give consumers a say in the selection process, with the support of Malaysia’s two leading property marketplaces. The awards match the real needs of property seekers, with winners exemplifying a broad spectrum of value, from the highest tiers of luxury to the most affordable spaces. The awardees also offer a snapshot of Malaysia’s diverse real estate segments, which continue to serve those who visit, work, or seek a place to call home. Malaysia’s award-winning developers offer lifestyle and investment propositions that even extend beyond its borders, adding an international element to the winners’ lineup.”
Datuk Ar. Ezumi Harzani Ismail, chairperson of the independent panel of judges, said: “As our selection process expands beyond the perspectives of fellow judges to include the voices of consumers and property seekers with genuine market aspirations, the accomplishments of this year’s winners stand out as truly well-rounded. We remain impressed not only by the advancements in development and design but also by the dedication of developers to exceed sustainability expectations, addressing market demands while being mindful of environmental responsibilities. It is also encouraging to see projects seamlessly integrated into their wider communities, from transit-oriented developments to townships and spaces that support remote work and mixed-use living. With these outstanding achievers, we are confident that the future of Malaysian real estate is in excellent hands.”
The independent panel of judges consists of Datuk Ar. Ezumi Harzani Ismail, president, Malaysian Institute of Architects (PAM) 2020-2022; Ir. Ashwin Thurairajah, executive director, GreenRe Sdn Bhd; Janice Chin, director, Capital Markets, JLL Appraisal and Property Services Sdn. Bhd.; Ir.

In July, shortlisted developers presented their projects to these expert judges during a three-day selection process, also known as the Live Judging Days, in Kuala Lumpur. Scores were tabulated and verified under the supervision of HLB Ler Lum Chew managing partner Kelvin Chew, upholding transparency and integrity throughout the process.
Marking its 20th edition in 2025, the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards series culminates in the Grand Final in Bangkok on 12 December 2025. From Malaysia, 23 winners will advance to compete for the Best in Asia titles against entries from 14 other markets on this international platform.
