CBRE Vietnam was honoured with three first prizes in important categories at the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2017. The company won “Best Real Estate Agency in Vietnam,” “Best Lettings Agency in Vietnam” and the “Property Consultancy Award” at the ceremony that took place in Bangkok earlier this month.
Additionally, Le Trong Hieu, director of CBRE Vietnam’s Advisory and Transaction of Office Services, won “Best Real Estate Agent in Vietnam.”
With the achievements, CBRE Vietnam has become the only real estate consulting and management firm in Vietnam to win three first prizes in the nine-year history of the Asia Pacific Property Awards.
The Asia Pacific Property Awards, part of the International Property Awards, honour leading companies in all fields of the property industry around the world. This year, CBRE Vietnam successfully surpassed other leading domestic firms in the industry to achieve the ‘five-star’ prizes.
Furthermore, CBRE Vietnam as the Best Letting Agency will compete against other winners from Africa, Arabia, Europe and America for the title of “World’s Best Letting Agency.”
The prizes prove CBRE Vietnam’s qualifications and professionalism in real estate service provision and customer care in highly competitive markets like Asia-Pacific and Vietnam.
Recently, CBRE Vietnam was selected as the exclusive management and leasing agent of Viettel’s head office and Viettel Shopping Center. The firm has continued strengthening co-operative relations with many customers, acting as the management agent of the Jamila project developed by Khang Dien, HadoCentrosa Garden and Hado Garden Villas of Ha Do Group.
In addition, CBRE has been selected as the lead agent for the Waterina project, Japan’s Maeda Group’s first project in Vietnam, which is the management unit of the underground construction site of Metro Line No. 1 (Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien) in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1.
In Hanoi, the firm is the exclusive agent for Central Field, a project of 19-12 Bac Ha Co Ltd and the managing unit of Richy Tower and Sun Square buildings.
Dang Phuong Hang, managing director of CBRE Vietnam, said it is a pleasure to work with the CBRE Vietnam team to achieve these goals.
“We will do our best to develop CBRE Vietnam and achieve more success in the near future,” she said. “Moreover, to meet the increasing demand of the real estate market, we introduced Hotel Services to give advice and expertise in the hotel industry, Sustainability Services to provide solutions for green building and Leasing Services to help investors with apartment leasing. With integrated real estate services, CBRE Vietnam is confident to generate benefits for customers.”
In the past, CBRE Vietnam was the only property consultant in the country honoured at the Golden Dragon Awards. In addition, the company has been listed in Fortunes Most Admired Companies for five consecutive years. CBRE Vietnam was also named the Best Property Consultant Agent in Vietnam for the fifth time by the Euromoney Awards.
