Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the BCI Asia Awards 2020 was merged with BCI Asia Awards 2021. The portfolios of the top developers for 2021 are valued at $2.42 billion, while the portfolios of the 2021 elite architecture firms comprise $7.72 billion worth of properties scheduled to start construction in Vietnam this year.

These firms were chosen based on the greatest aggregate value of projects under construction during the last full calendar year, weighted by the extent of their sustainability efforts. For architecture firm, pre-tender projects were included to recognize early incorporation of green design efforts.
