Waterfall City crowned ‘world’s best’ for fifth time
Waterfall City has become synonymous with being the definitive lifestyle and blue-chip business destination in the heart of Gauteng.
At the lavish annual ‘World’s Best’ International Property Awards ceremony held at the iconic Savoy Hotel in London on February 2, Waterfall Management Company was awarded Best International Mixed-use Development 2022/23 for Waterfall City.
This is the fifth time in six years that Waterfall City has beaten formidable competitors to claim the top spot. This year’s nominees included mixed-use developments in Cyprus, Brazil, Qatar, and Hong Kong. Entries were judged based on criteria ranging from design layout and quality, architecture, services and security, to innovation, originality, marketing, and commitment to sustainability.
Over and above scooping this prestigious international accolade, Waterfall City also garnered the regional title of Best Mixed-use Development in Africa for the eighth time. This follows Waterfall City’s recent win of being named Best Mixed-use Development in South Africa, also for the eighth time, in October last year in Dubai.
The International Property Awards, now in its 31st year, celebrate the very best projects and professionals in the industry across 45 residential and commercial categories. Awards are split into four sectors namely, architecture, development, interior design, and real estate, across nine regions covering Africa, Asia Pacific, Arabia, Canada, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, the UK, and the USA.
Over the past year, a panel of more than 90 independent expert judges studied and assessed more than 2 000 entries from 126 countries to finally arrive at the winners.
Willie Vos, CEO of Waterfall Management Company said, “Building a world-class smart city of this nature is certainly no small feat. It takes a concerted and cohesive effort, with all role players and stakeholders moving in unison in the same direction to realise the vision and honour the values that are fundamental to every aspect of Waterfall City.
“Reclaiming the title of Best International Mixed-use Development is just a reward for our continued efforts and something we are extremely proud of. We are honoured to receive this international recognition which once again puts Waterfall City and South African property development on the world stage.
“I am honoured to form part of this team and extend my thanks and congratulations on this award to everyone involved, including my colleagues, all our role players, partners, shareholders, and individual residential investors. With big plans already set for 2023, we look forward to the year ahead and the continued success of world-class Waterfall City.”
