After many rounds of review, the Council decided not to award the First Prize, selecting two Second Prizes and one Third Prize. The prizes were awarded to outstanding consulting units: Two Second Prizes were awarded to Hon Gai Architecture Company Limited (Code SH2030), Green Lungs Hanoi Joint Venture (Code GH0007); Third Prize was awarded to Encity - Siura Studio Consulting Joint Venture (Code ES0001).
