The 2018-19 Asia Pacific Property Awards in association with leading Italian furniture hardware brand Salice, honoured the region's finest property industry professionals at a glittering awards presentation. The Marriott Marquis Queen's Park Bangkok hosted the event for the second year running on 3rd & 4th May. The awards were presented by Mr Stuart Shield President of the International Property Awards and Mr Giovanni Marzo of Salice with Master of Ceremonies duties undertaken by TV presenter Patchari Raksawong.

The Asia Pacific Awards are part of the International Property Awards that include the regions of Africa, Arabia, Europe, The Americas and the UK. The awards celebrate the very best projects and professionals in the industry. Over 900 entries were scrutinised by the judging committee chaired by The Earl of Caithness, Lord Best and The Earl of Liverpool together with over 80 industry professionals.

Twenty-Six Malaysian companies received awards for categories ranging across property development, real estate, interior design and architecture. Two top Malaysian companies who have won awards and proved themselves to be the very best in their sector include:

- Hunza Properties has won a Five-Star award within the category of Retail Development for their project Gurney Paragon Mall.

- JKG Tower has won a Five-Star award within the category Office Development for their project JKG Tower.

Ten of the Malaysian winners at country level have also been nominated to compete against other companies in the Asia Pacific region to become Best in Asia Pacific, and perhaps ultimately Best in the World.
