Jardin Wong, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Golden Bay Landholdings, shares that the win was unexpected. These are their first international awards. Yet, despite the surprise, it was also an immensely satisfying achievement for the entire organisation. "We all put in the time and the effort to create projects that really go beyond boundaries.  We really took time to understand our projects' impact on the general environment and community around it,” Wong says. As each project had undergone rigorous processes to ensure quality and innovation, the recognition granted to both has become an assuring milestone for investors, partners, tenants, and future residents.
