Recognition of excellence in land use practice has long been a guiding principle of the ULI, leading to the creation of the ULI Global Awards for Excellence programme in 1979, and the launch of an Asia Pacific competition in 2019. The programme is today widely recognised by the development community as one of its most prestigious awards, with winning projects representing the highest standards of achievement in the development industry.

2023 ULI Asia Pacific Awards for Excellence

Submissions Open – Monday, 09 January 2023
Submissions Close – Friday, 24 March 2023

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. 

Winners of ULI Awards for Excellence in the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions are automatically entered (at no further charge) into the 2023 ULI Global Awards for Excellence. 

Entry fees

An entry fee must accompany each submission. Fees for the 2023 ULI Asia Pacific Awards for Excellence are: 

• Public Sector/NGO US $320.00
• Private Sector US $750.00 

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.
