KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 1): S P Setia Bhd took the No 1 spot at this year’s The Edge Malaysia Top Property Developers Awards (TPDA). The developer has taken the No 1 spot for the fourteenth time, ever since the awards were established in 2003. S P Setia Bhd also took the top spot in the Best in Qualitative Attributes sub-award. 

The TPDA anchors The Edge Malaysia Property Excellence Awards (TEPEA) 2022, which were presented at the gala dinner on Tuesday (Nov 1) night at the Shangri-La Hotel Kuala Lumpur. 

S P Setia Bhd president and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai said the achievement was beyond their expectations, as the industry had just recovered from the pandemic. 

“We would like to thank our board of directors, our stakeholders and of course our purchasers who have been by our side throughout the years. Without them, we would not be where we are now, so that has encouraged us to deliver more value to our purchasers.

“It has been a challenging journey so far, especially after the pandemic but we were able to pull it off because of our team spirit. After all, S P Setia has always been known for its exemplary teamwork,” he said.

Other developers on the Top 10 list were Gamuda Land — Gamuda Bhd, Property Division (No 2), UOA Development Bhd (No 3), Sime Darby Property Bhd (No 4), IJM Land Bhd (No 5), Sunway Bhd — Property Division (No 6), IOI Properties Group Bhd (No 7), Eco World Development Group Bhd (No 8), UEM Sunrise Bhd, OSK Holdings Bhd and Mah Sing Group Bhd (joint No 9), as well as Matrix Concepts Holdings Bhd and Tropicana Corporation Bhd (joint No 10).

The TPDA was evaluated on both qualitative and quantitative attributes. In the qualitative category, judges evaluated each company on its expertise, image, innovation and creativity, as well as product quality and the value it creates for buyers.

In the quantitative category, companies were evaluated on their shareholders’ funds, turnover, profitability and cash holding or gearing. The developer with the highest score for the Best in Quantitative Attributes was UOA Development Bhd. 

The scores and rankings of the TPDA were audited by Deloitte Malaysia.
