Sunrise Berhad announced Monday that MK20 won three awards at the prestigious Asia Pacific Property Awards 2011 in association with Bloomberg Television.
The project took home the Best Commercial High Rise Development Award for Asia Pacific and Malaysia, as well as the Mixed Use Architecture (Highly Commended) Award for Malaysia.
“This achievement reflects the strength of the Sunrise brand name and the quality of our diverse range of market-driven products. We constantly challenge ourselves to make a difference. While each new project has to stand out, it also has to meet the expectation of the market,” said Lum Tuck Ming, executive director and chief operating officer of Sunrise Berhad.
Located along the main Jalan Kiara, this mixed-use development consists of luxury serviced residence, hotel, SoHo and boutique retail.
The project was conceptualised and designed by world renowned architectural practice Foster+Partners.
Later this year, top scoring MK20 will compete against other winning projects from Europe, Africa, the Americas and Arabia to find the ultimate World’s Best.
A record number of 21 different countries took part in the Asia Pacific Awards this year. These awards are part of the International Property Awards which was established 17 years ago, comprising residential and commercial categories.
Sunrise’s 28 Mont’Kiara won the World’s Best Residential High Rise Development Award in 2010.
The Asia Pacific region has an enviable record of achievement at international level, having scooped seven World’s Best awards in the finals of both 2009 and 2010.
