And the MIPIM Asia Awards 2008 Winners Are

China and Korea dominated the second edition of the MIPIM Asia Awards, designed to pay tribute to the most innovative real estate projects in the Asia Pacific region. The MIPIM Asia Awards took place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on November 20.

Projects from China, Japan, Singapore and South Korea won trophies this year. For the first time, the MIPIM Asia Awards winners were chosen by delegates attending MIPIM Asia, following a pre-selection process by an international jury.

“The second edition of the MIPIM Asia Awards generated exceptional interest, with entries streaming in from all over the world. The jury was impressed by the large number of high quality submissions and the selection of the nominations and winners was therefore a difficult process. The quality of the final projects is a testimony to the high standards in Asian real estate today,” commented Robert Lie, president of the jury and Redevco Asia Limited, Real Estate Investment & Development Managing Director, Hong Kong.

Over 70 projects from 13 different countries across the Asia Pacific region were originally submitted to the MIPIM Asia Awards. In September, the international jury selected 20 finalists for each of the competition categories.
