What does winning an International Property Award
mean to you?
A cornerstone of Balwin’s approach has always been to
consider what’s good for our clients and what’s good for
the environment. To deliver a sustainable, exceptional
quality product, we spend an inordinate amount of time
and effort working with the best consultants, contractors
and architects. These awards demonstrate that we can
compete and win on one of the world’s biggest stages,
which makes us very excited and grateful.
The International Property Awards (IPAs) is one of
the most prestigious platforms in the world celebrating
excellence in real estate. It sets an international benchmark
that allows Balwin to scale itself against the best in the
world. To date, we have achieved 38 awards recognising our
commitment to excellent and innovation in sustainability,
leisure and architecture as well as social housing.
SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY
The journey of Balwin building multi-award winning
developments starts with the application of an EDGE
advanced certification for all our apartments. This
ensures that we give our clients a 40% saving on their
energy usage and a 20% reduction in water consumption.
To achieve this we implement sustainable passive
design, low energy appliances and on-site clean energy
generation. Further into the journey, we provide a
world-class lifestyle centre that will receive the
highest Green Star rating, which is the 6-Star Green
Star Building rating GBCSA. While providing a vast
variety of amenities we still ensure our buildings are
of the utmost efficiency and sustainability. This is all
in line with Balwin’s vision of providing affordable
yet aspirational and sustainable homes to our clients.
The International Property Awards are
open to residential and commercial
property professionals from around
the world. The awards honour the
highest levels of accomplishment by
companies operating in the property
industry. In this article, we celebrate
the awards achieved by GBCSA-rated
projects and GBCSA members.
