PARIS (June 10): S P Setia Bhd has clinched two gold awards at the International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI) World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2022 held on June 9 in Paris, France.

This year's win makes S P Setia the Malaysian developer with the most FIABCI World Gold awards, with 15 under its belt.

The winning projects were KL Eco City (KLEC) in Kuala Lumpur, which bagged the top accolade in the Mixed-use Development category and Setia Marina 2 of Setia Eco Glades, Cyberjaya, which was honoured under the Residential (Low-Rise) category.

S P Setia president and chief executive officer Datuk Choong Kai Wai noted that the recognitions of KLEC and Setia Marina 2 in the international realm are a testament to the strength of its products in meeting the aspirations of homeowners, property buyers and communities.

"We are truly honoured to be awarded for our commitment in delivering thoughtfully planned developments anchored on our LiveLearnWorkPlay development philosophy and our continuous effort in operating along the environment, social and governance (ESG) pillars," he said.

"As lifestyles and demands have changed over the years, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic, property development is now not only about building homes that support sustainable lifestyles, but also uplifting communities in and beyond our developments through creating sustainable business opportunities," Choong added.

Both KLEC and Setia Marina 2 have previously won the Mixed-use Development and Residential (Low-Rise) categories at the FIABCI Malaysia Property Award 2021.
