KUALA LUMPUR (July 15): The 30-year-old Sri Penaga Condominium in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur won gold yet again at The Edge Malaysia Best Managed & Sustainable Property Awards (BMSPA) 2025 under the 10 Years and Above—Multiple-owned Strata Residential category, repeating a similar achievement at the 2018 iteration of the awards.

The Sri Penaga Condominium was also the recipient of the Editor’s Choice Awards for Excellence in Evergreen Community Living. The development is managed by Henry Butcher (Mont Kiara) Malaysia Sdn Bhd (HBMK).

Properties that previously won gold at the BMSPA can only resubmit their property for consideration after three years.

This year’s gala dinner was held at the Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel & Convention Centre with Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming serving as the guest of honour.

In his welcome speech, The Edge Malaysia publisher and group CEO Datuk Ho Kay Tat said he was heartened to note that the awards have seen submissions increase since its inception in 2017.

“This year, we received 81 submissions—almost double the 45 in 2017. This is a good sign of growing commitment to best-in-class and sustainable property management practices.  After all, good property management is not a supporting act. It is the foundation upon which long-term value, safety and liveability rest,” said Ho.

Despite that, he pointed out that Malaysia does not have a strong maintenance culture. “The minister himself has highlighted the problem many times and is working hard to legislate the Urban Renewal Act to address the legacy issue of urban decay that we face today.”

In his keynote address, Nga said the awards have sparked a much-needed dialogue among industry stakeholders on the importance of designing, building and maintaining real estate with sustainability in mind.

He added, “To all the winners gathered here tonight, you are the shining examples proving that our property sector can thrive while upholding future-focused values and sustainability. The awards presented tonight are more than just a trophy, it is a call to lead, innovate and raise the bar even higher.”
