Suntec Real Estate Services Management Clinches Double Victory at Real Estate Asia Awards 2026

The firm upgraded environmental systems and deployed a large-scale parking guidance system serving over 3,000 lots.

Suntec Real Estate Services Management Pte. Ltd. (Suntec RES) has solidified its position as a market leader in high-performance asset management, securing two prestigious titles at the Real Estate Asia Awards 2026: Sustainable Development of the Year - Singapore and Facilities Management Initiative of the Year – Singapore.

These accolades recognise the strategic transformation of Suntec City—an iconic integrated development—through data-driven decarbonisation and next-generation operational technology. This success is underpinned by the firm’s core mission to deliver high-performing real estate management focused on innovation, sustainability, and community.

Improving energy use and waste systems

By aggressively optimising energy infrastructure at Suntec City, the firm achieved a 30% reduction in common area electricity consumption compared to 2019 levels, delivering annual cost savings of about $5m. Replacement works covered air handling units and mechanical ventilation fans, with higher-efficiency models installed to improve overall system performance. Operational settings across building systems were also adjusted over time to support these reductions.

Changes to waste management focused on both infrastructure and user participation. Recycling volumes rose by 30%, or 140 tonnes, following updates to collection processes and sustained tenant engagement. Smart recycling bins were introduced with scan-select-drop interfaces and QR-linked guides, allowing users to identify correct disposal methods. These systems also generated data on usage and contamination rates, which allowed streamlining of collection schedules and minimising operational overhead.

Community-related activities were integrated into site operations throughout the year. In 2025, the development served as the anchor venue for The Purple Parade, hosting over 15,000 participants in support of disability awareness. This, alongside a robust calendar of fitness programmes and tenant engagement initiatives, ensures the asset remains a vibrant, inclusive hub for Singapore’s CBD.

Redefining smart parking and traffic management at Suntec City

The firm’s recognition in the Facilities Management category underscores its successful deployment of a sophisticated, large-scale Parking Guidance System spanning over 3,000 lots. By integrating video analytics, ultrasonic sensors and License Plate Recognition (LPR), Suntec RES has transformed a key friction point into a seamless, digitally enabled experience.

Through a shift towards digitalised facility management anchored by a centralised Command Centre, the system enables active traffic management and real-time guidance for both the facility management team and drivers. This integrated approach allows drivers to be efficiently directed to available parking spaces, significantly reducing search time whilst improving overall circulation and operational visibility across the facility.

Building on this digital foundation, Phase 2 reimagines the car park as a digitally intelligent ecosystem, where advanced video technologies power a new layer of hyper-personalised experiences, from seamless parking reservations to curated retail rewards triggered the moment a vehicle arrives. Beyond transit, the platform unlocks a future where every journey into the facility becomes predictive and effortlessly connected.

The same integrated infrastructure also enhances surveillance capabilities, extending visibility across the entire car park. This enables more effective incident monitoring, strengthens safety measures, and supports operational responsiveness whilst delivering both convenience and peace of mind to users.

Driven by a commitment to excellence, Suntec RES continuously seizes opportunities to propose improvements and value-add to the properties under its care.
