Cushman & Wakefield Greater China Secures Three Five‑Star Accolades
Cushman & Wakefield Greater China has been honoured with three five‑star awards at the 2025 Asia Pacific Property Awards, recognising its excellence in commercial real estate services across the region. The firm also received an additional 'Award Winner' designation, strengthening its regional leadership credentials.
Judged by an expert panel comprising property professionals, these awards are regarded as one of the industry's most prestigious marks of quality, celebrating superior standards in real estate strategy, management and client service.
The honoured categories include high‑profile segments such as office leasing, property consultancy and sustainable urban development—areas where the firm demonstrated remarkable performance in Greater China. Stakeholders report that its holistic approach, blending quantitative analytics with qualitative client engagement, distinguished the company in these assessments.

The Asia Pacific Property Awards form part of the broader International Property Awards framework, which includes 2025 regional recognition events held across Asia Pacific. Awardees must first succeed at a national level before being advanced to regional contention. Judges evaluate entries by following strict criteria that include innovation, design, execution, and a clear demonstration of sustainable development goals.
Cushman & Wakefield Greater China's award-winning projects drew favourable attention across multiple independent assessments this year. One of its flagship initiatives showcased a redevelopment strategy that revitalised a class‑A office building in Shanghai's Puxi district, featuring tenant‑centric amenities and energy‑efficiency retrofits surpassing local regulatory standards. Observers lauded the project as 'a benchmark in adaptive reuse and tenant wellbeing.'
Several market analysts note that this recognition aligns with Cushman & Wakefield's recent push into sustainability consultancy within China's tier‑1 cities. Data from real estate advisory firm JLL indicates demand for green certifications such as LEED and China's Three-Star rating system has grown by over 20 per cent in prime office space leasing inquiries in Shanghai and Beijing over the past year. Cushman & Wakefield has positioned itself to capitalise on this trend through integrated valuation and ESG advisory services.
The firm's success reflects broader shifts in Greater China's commercial real estate landscape. As occupier priorities pivot toward hybrid work models and employee wellness, landlords are increasingly investing in flexible spaces, enhanced air quality systems and digital infrastructure—areas where Cushman & Wakefield's consulting practice claims to offer a competitive edge. Industry insiders credit the firm's cross-border research capabilities and its network of regional specialists for facilitating this adaptability.
Leadership within the company emphasises the role of strategic partnerships in bolstering service quality. According to senior executives, collaborations with local tech providers have expanded the firm's data analytics offerings, enabling real‑time occupancy tracking and predictive maintenance solutions. These capabilities, they say, underpin their award‑winning performance across multiple project categories.
In addition to commercial leasing and consultancy, the firm also asserted itself in urban planning and precinct‑level developments. One notable project in Guangzhou integrated smart‑city planning elements—such as IoT‑enabled energy systems and occupant behavioural analytics—to optimise building usage and sustainability outcomes. Judges reportedly commended this project for its forward‑looking design and measurable impact on environmental performance.
Competitors in the same categories included both global real estate consultancies and prominent domestic players. While these firms have likewise embraced ESG frameworks and smart building solutions, Cushman & Wakefield's depth of data‑driven insight and regional footprint reportedly gave it a distinct advantage in the judges' evaluations.
The multiple awards underscore a trajectory in which the firm continues to harness innovation, sustainability and client experience as pillars of growth. Cushman & Wakefield Greater China plans to replicate its award‑winning models across emerging urban centres, with an emphasis on Tier‑2 cities like Chengdu and Wuhan—where demand for high‑quality commercial assets is rising amid urbanisation and regional economic diversification.

Lumena by Omniyat is the newest architectural wonder set to redefine workspaces in Dubai
Meet Lumena by OMNIYAT—the city's newest ultra-luxury commercial development and co-working space. Fresh off the success of Enara's headline-making debut, OMNIYAT has recently unveiled its most ambitious commercial statement yet: a 48-storey sculptural tower designed to be more than a workplace. With a targeted completion in 2029, Lumena is imagined as an icon of spatial innovation and biophilic design set to add to the Dubai skyline views and pave the way for future-forward ways of working. 'Lumena is the future of commercial real estate in Dubai. With its location, design, and integrated amenities, we are creating a new paradigm for commercial real estate that aligns with how the next generation of leaders wants to work and live. Leveraging technology, innovation, and future-proof design, LUMENA's sculpted form reflects both architectural brilliance and the effortless flow of ideas, ambition, and enterprise. This exceptional project reflects OMNIYAT's ongoing commitment to shaping the commercial landmarks of tomorrow,' says Mahdi Amjad, Founder and Executive Chairman at OMNIYAT. Architecturally, Lumena is striking with its slender profile featuring cantilevered forms and a multi-faceted facade. Inside, 91 meticulously designed shell-and-core office units, from full floors to boutique-scale spaces, offer flexible formats flooded with light and panoramic views. Natural materials, double-height glazing, and subtle textural cues bring an understated calm to the corporate domain. But what truly sets Lumena apart is its curation of amenities that rival luxury hotels. From the private-access Executive Club and Sky Pool to the wellness suite and Sky Theatre – a first for a commercial tower in Dubai – the environment is human-centric and the experience is anything but conventional. Concierge services extend to lifestyle bookings, wellness support, and even private shopping. Technologically, the tower is targeted to achieve Platinum status certifications across LEED, WELL Building™, WiredScore, and SmartScore, to make Lumena a global benchmark for sustainability and smart design. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied
