Phuket’s Kamala-located MGallery Residences, MontAzure Lakeside by MontAzure won three national accolades at the 14th Annual PropertyGuru Thailand Property Awards, while several other Phuket projects also picked up major awards.

Also scoring big in the national awards was Avadina Hills by Anantara, a development in Phuket by Minor International and Kajima, claiming the “Best Housing Development (Thailand)” prize. Avadina Hills by Anantara also won “Best Luxury Housing Development (Phuket)”. The award for “Best Housing Development (Phuket)” went to Anchan Hills by Pearl Island Property, with Botanica Luxury villas by Botanica Luxury Phuket Co Ltd, Riverhouse by E Land Development Co Ltd, and Utopia Maikhao by Utopia Construction Group Co Ltd all receiving “Highly Commended” awards.
