KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 23): S P Setia Bhd’s 24-storey Eco Sanctuary in Singapore picked up the Development Innovation Award at the inaugural EdgeProp Singapore Excellence Awards 2017 in the southern republic, making it the only Malaysian developer to be recognised tonight.

The project in Chestnut Avenue, off Upper Bukit Timah Road, was one of three winners of the Development Innovation Award, which recognises projects that “innovatively push the envelope to succeed in a variety of areas such as recreational services, community health initiatives, sustainability, construction productivity, safety advancements, energy efficiency and green initiatives”.

“It is an honour to be recognised at the inaugural award ceremony tonight and to receive the Development Innovation Award for our Eco Sanctuary. S P Setia always strives to be ahead of market competitors in terms of design and technology used in our homes. In all our developments, we endeavor to use the latest technology and construction methods to ensure the best quality home for all our Setia homeowners,” said S P Setia CEO and president Datuk Khor Chap Jen in a statement today.

The development boasts a panoramic view of Singapore’s largest nature reserve, with designs “emulating the ecology of its lush surroundings”, said the developer.

“The innovative use of biomimicry architecture has led to the striking design of the building’s facade that is not only outstanding in appearance, but also creates a solar passive home for all to enjoy,” said S P Setia in a statement.

Other winners of the award were Wing Tai Holdings Ltd’s The Tembusu at Tampines Road and Hillsta by Far East Organization, Sekisui House and China Construction (South Pacific).
