On 11 December, Nhip Cau Dau Tu magazine hosted the 2024 Corporate Governance Conference & Recognition Ceremony, bringing together leading businesses from Vietnam and around the world. This prestigious event served as a platform to honour prominent brands while discussing trends and strategies in corporate governance, with a strong focus on the real estate sector.
Keppel was named Best Property Developer of 2024 at the awards ceremony, affirming its significant contributions to urbanisation and the development of sustainable living spaces in Vietnam. With landmark projects such as Estella Heights, Celesta Rise, and Saigon Centre, Keppel not only meets international environmental standards but also sets new benchmarks for green and sustainable urban spaces in the Vietnamese real estate landscape.
Mr Lee Leong Seng, Head of Property Development/Residential, Real Estate (Vietnam), Keppel Ltd., participated in a panel discussion titled Decision-Making in Real Estate during the conference. He highlighted sustainability as a core value in Keppel’s projects.

According to Mr Lee Leong Seng, homebuyers are not just making decisions for today but are also looking at the long-term value of their properties. As a result, developers must adopt sustainability strategies throughout the entire project lifecycle, from design and construction to operations.

Keppel exemplifies this philosophy in its residential developments, such as Celesta Rise. The Company prioritises designs that incorporate green living spaces in every unit while aligning with Vietnam's cultural and climatic context. These efforts ensure that each project is energy-efficient, environmentally sustainable, and minimises its environmental impact.

Beyond the individual homes, Keppel fosters community connections by creating public amenities like parks, green spaces, and shared communal areas. These sustainable solutions not only protect the environment but also enhance residents' quality of life, catering to the growing demand for green real estate in Vietnam.
