These large cuts tend to command premium prices, especially in Bonifacio Global City and its surrounding districts, now among the hottest property markets in the country.
But recent data from the Kevin Tan-led Megaworld also points to continued investment upside across its other developments, driven by strong demand for township-style projects that blend residential, work, and commercial spaces. This is an approach the company pioneered nearly three decades ago with Eastwood City in Quezon City.
In Bacolod’s The Upper East, a two-bedroom penthouse at Two Regis has increased in value since 2019 by 75 percent to P20 million.
At Uptown Arts Residence in Uptown Bonifacio, a three-bedroom penthouse has appreciated by 38 percent since 2018.
Another strong performer is a one-bedroom unit with lanai at Bryant Parklane in Pampanga, which has risen by 75 percent.
In Cebu, a three-bedroom penthouse at La Victoria Global Residences has also posted a 68 percent increase since its launch.
“[S]elf-sustaining townships remain magnets for end-users, tenants, and property investors alike,” Megaworld said.
“Their strategic locations, integrated facilities, and diversity of lifestyle, office, retail, and institutional components converge to create vibrant and thriving communities that foster constant activity, economic energy, and enduring property value growth,” it added.
Trends also favor the real estate sector in select areas within Metro Manila and regions outside the Philippine capital.
“As the real estate market adapts to shifting demands, Megaworld’s townships are poised to continue standing out—not just as a blueprint for how integrated, master-planned communities should be built, but as a resilient platform for long-term investment growth,” the property giant noted.
