PETALING JAYA: Township developer LBS Bina Group Bhd (LBS) has added another feather to its cap by taking home the BCI Asia Awards’ (BCIAA) Top Ten Developers Award 2020/2021.
Marking the fifth consecutive year that LBS has been given the accolade, it serves to acknowledge its position among the leading property developers in Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
The award, which handpicked the top 10 developers of 2020 based on the extent of their projects’ sustainability, is the most coveted award for architecture, developers and the overall construction sector across the region.

“Sustainability considerations are factored into the entire life cycle of our developments, from concept design to construction and building management, such as KITA Mekar, KITA Mesra, Residensi Bintang Bukit Jalil and Prestige Residence, which are our recently launched projects,” said LBS executive chairman Tan Sri Lim Hock San.
“The objective of sustainable housing is to elevate living standards, while providing Malaysians with the opportunity to own their dream house with enhanced social unity, wellbeing, economic growth and social improvement.
He added, “The year 2020 has been a challenging one. Not only was LBS able to pull through, but the team’s hard work and perseverance managed to position LBS among the top 10 developers.
“For that, I am truly grateful and would like to extend my special thanks to BCIAA for consistently recognising our efforts and awarding LBS with the Top 10 Developers Award.
“We believe during these pandemic times, affordable housing with exceptional built quality is the recipe to success. As we approach the end of the year, our focus will continue to be driven towards providing affordable homes and creating green and sustainable living, working and recreational environments for all Malaysian homebuyers.”
The gala dinner for the 2020 edition of BCIAA, which is now in its 17th year, was originally planned for June 19, but was rescheduled to Dec 3 owing to movement restrictions arising from the various measures to combat the Covid-19 pandemic in the country.
Held at Shangri-La Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, the event was graced by Malaysian Institute of Architects president Datuk Ezumi Harzani Ismail, Malaysian Institute of Interior Designers president Lai Siew Hong and Malaysia Green Building Council immediate past president Chan Seong Aun.
An internationally recognised developer with a vision for building and inspiring delightful spaces, LBS is a renowned township developer that has amassed numerous awards through their various developments.
By placing people at the heart of their approach, the developer has been building and shaping the nation’s landscape for over 30 years, while continuing to meet the market demands for quality and affordable homes.
With land banks spread across Malaysia, LBS is positioned to continue growing in stature and strength, through replicating successful townships such as Bandar Saujana Putra to other parts of Selangor. This includes KITA @ Cybersouth in Dengkil and LBS Alam Perdana in Bandar Puncak Alam, among others.
Beyond property development, the developer is also venturing into retail management, hospitality and tourism.
The continued success of LBS is attributed to Lim’s leadership, for which he was named as the Property Man of the Year by Malaysia Property Award – formerly known as FIABCI Malaysia Property Awards of Distinction or FIABCI Malaysia Awards of Distinction – in 2018. The award is the gold standard for developers in the real estate industry.
Lim was also recognised with the ‘Oscar Award’ in the property fraternity, in recognition of his perseverance and resilience within the industry through the years, excellent demonstration of strong leadership, deep industry knowledge and impeccable values of integrity and responsibility.
