ULI Asia Pacific Awards for Excellence

Competition Update:

The 2025 ULI Asia Pacific Awards for Excellence will return in January, celebrating outstanding real estate development projects across the region. Submissions will open on January 6 and close on March 7, 2025.

Competition Guidelines

The ULI Asia Pacific Awards for Excellence recognise the full development process of a project, not just its architecture or design—although these elements play an important role.

Awards recognise both development projects and programmes. Among projects, Awards recognise a wide variety of product types, including office, residential, retail, industrial, hotel, mixed use, planned community, open space, and more. Programmes are initiatives, processes, or policies that guide or enhance development.

The jury will evaluate projects and programmes on the extent to which they:

Achieve marketplace acceptance/financial success;
Achieve a high standard of excellence across a range of disciplines—architecture, design, planning, construction, resiliency, economics, management, etc.;
Have a positive impact on communities and/or immediate context;
Are environmentally sustainable and/or resilient;
Provide a model or strategy that can be replicated in other projects or communities.

Entry fees

An entry fee must accompany each submission. Fees for the 2025 ULI Asia Pacific Awards for Excellence are:

Public Sector/NGO US $400.00
Private Sector US $850.00

Please note that these fees apply to the company or organisation submitting the application, not the type of project. For instance, a private sector company submitting a public sector project pays the private sector fee.
