SDB WINS WORLD FIABCI GOLD PRIX D’EXCELLENCE AWARDS 2019
Village at Pasir Panjang emerges Gold winner in Residential (Low-Rise) Category
Village at Pasir Panjang in Singapore, a development by Malaysia’s Selangor Dredging Berhad (SDB) Group, has been announced as the World Gold Winner of FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards 2019 in the Residential (Low-Rise) category at the 2019 FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards in Arbat Hall, Moscow.
Village at Pasir Panjang comprises 148 exclusive residences consisting of 2-,
3- and 4-bedroom units and 3and 4-bedroom state-of-the-art penthouses, located in a quiet low-density residential enclave at 463 Pasir Panjang Road along the highly-sought-after West Coast area in western Singapore.
Characterised by simplicity and purity of lines, Village at
Pasir Panjang was inspired by the concept of kampung (which
means “village” in Bahasa). For example, instead of conventional shutting doors, the development is designed with the verandainspired balconies facing inward, overlooking into lawn to encourage community living.
“In land-scarce Singapore, people appreciate the great open spaces, outdoor activities, quiet sitting areas and green pathways which could all be found in Village at Pasir Panjang,” said Teh Lip Kim, group managing director of SDB.
“We are indeed delighted that our development Village at Pasir Panjang is the World Gold Winner of the 2019 FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards. This is second FIABCI Prix d’Excellence in Singapore and our sixth
FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence win, and we are indeed proud to have flown the Malaysian flag across the Causeway. We will work towards having more award-winning developments in Malaysia and Singapore.”

In total, SDB Group has garnered one gold and four silver awards at this coveted international competition throughout the years.
FIABCI is the French acronym for “International Real Estate Federation”, which recognises excellence in real estate internationally.
