Private medical services have become big business today and many developers have private hospitals as part of their development. This award recognises these two developers, which had the vision to diversify into medical services long before anyone else did.

Introduced in 2014, this award seeks to identify and encourage the private sector to provide more, and better-quality, affordable housing. Only projects undertaken wholly by private-sector developers that receive no aid or participation – direct or indirect – from the government are eligible.

The winner is Savanna Executive Suites @ Southville City by Mah Sing Group Bhd.
