The pinnacle of achievement in the FIABCI- Taiwan Real Estate Excellence Awards this year is exemplified by winners of the Comprehensive Achievement Excellence Award, namely the Pingtung County Main Library and Grand Garden by Sweeten Real Estate Development. The Pingtung County Main Library transformed a dull and monotonous space into an art piece akin to a modern art museum, giving us a very successful example of how old buildings can be regenerated. Sweeten Real Estate Development, confident and well-prepared, has decided to take part in four categories this year. Winning one Gold Award and three Excellence Awards, exceptional quality has been demonstrated through its Grand Garden project. Maison de Riviére by Jiuh Horng Company Limited, on the other hand, was awarded with the Comprehensive Achievement Award. Judges praised this residential complex for seamlessly integrating with the neighboring open spaces and its effort on creating a multi-layered urban landscape.
Vice President Bi-Khim Hsiao emphasized that sustainable architecture is a future for real estate development and requires global actions. She reiterated how sustainable architecture and other ESG concepts can further complement Taiwan's existing architectural culture and urban competitiveness. She looks forward to leveraging the FIABCI- Taiwan Real Estate Excellence Awards to foster architectural aesthetics, create higher living quality, sustainable development and essentially a more livable nation.
In President Chang's heartfelt closing remarks, she stated that each and every excellent construction project is not only a safe haven for people's lives but also a crucial part in shaping an outstanding urban landscape. Real estate professionals are, after all, entrusted by the public to create an excellent architecture that would complement our very living environment. Through the platform of FIABCI- Taiwan Real Estate Excellence Awards, President Lily Chang hopes that the public and private sectors will continue to engage in this healthy competition to elevate Taiwan's construction standards and improve the overall quality of life and wellbeing.
