Aboitiz Land’s Seafront Residences is Asia’s Best Waterfront Housing Development

Aboitiz Land continues to elevate Philippine residential real estate as Seafront Residences, its premier beachfront community in San Juan, Batangas, was named Best Waterfront Housing Development at the 20th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards.

The recognition complements Aboitiz Economic Estates’ LIMA Estate being crowned as the Best Industrial Development in Asia, underscoring the strength of Aboitiz Land and Aboitiz Economic Estates’ integrated real estate strategy. 

Regional real estate powerhouse

Together, these honors validate a development model that brings together world-class industrial estates and thoughtfully-planned residential communities, positioning the Aboitiz Group as a regional real estate powerhouse delivering end-to-end solutions for businesses, workers, and families. 

“Seafront Residences demonstrates that thoughtful placemaking and disciplined design can unlock value across different residential formats — from affordable-luxury leisure communities to housing that supports our economic estates,” said Rafael Fernandez de Mesa, president and CEO of Aboitiz Economic Estates and Aboitiz Land. 

“As our industrial and commercial hubs expand, Aboitiz Land’s role is to translate these principles into scalable housing solutions that serve the workforce, families, and communities that grow around them,” added De Mesa.

Master-planned environment

Situated along the coast of San Juan, Batangas, Seafront Residences offers a master-planned environment that enables residents to embrace a refined beachfront lifestyle. 

Designed as an affordable luxury leisure community, the development prioritizes low-density living, generous open spaces, and carefully curated premium amenities that balance quality design with everyday livability. 

Unlike many beach developments that focus primarily on land ownership, Seafront Residences stands out as a house-and-lot community shaped by strong placemaking principles, allowing a vibrant neighborhood to take root early on.

Commitment to thoughtful design

Planned by globally-respected town planning firm DPZ and homes designed by Budji+Royal Architecture, the community reflects Aboitiz Land’s commitment to thoughtful design that is both global in quality yet grounded locally. 

Sustainability, resilience, and long-term stewardship were embedded from the outset, ensuring that the seaside development remains adaptive, livable and valuable over time.

The award also signals the project’s strong growth potential. With the upcoming Town Center at Seafront Residences, the development is poised to evolve into one of the most sought-after lifestyle and tourist destinations in San Juan, Batangas, further enhancing the area’s appeal while supporting local economic activity.

Residential solutions provider

The recognition comes as Aboitiz Land continues to sharpen its role as the residential solutions provider within and around the Aboitiz Economic Estates projects — aligning homes with broader economic ecosystems while continuing to develop standalone lifestyle-led communities in strategic locations.

With its win at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards, Seafront Residences stands as a benchmark for Philippine beachfront developments, demonstrating how local projects can compete regionally through sound planning, residential comfort and long-term value creation.
