Philippine property developers Aboitiz, Filinvest, Federal Land and ASEANA Residential Holding Corp. emerged among the winners at the 2026 PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, with projects ranging from industrial estates and housing communities to mixed-use and lifestyle developments earning recognition.

Aboitiz Economic Estates and Aboitiz Land collected six awards, including Best Developer (Luzon), Best Sustainable Commercial Developer and Best Industrial Estate Development for TARI Estate. The Villages at LIMA Estate won Best Lifestyle Development, while Biz Hub at LIMA Estate was named Best Completed Mixed-Use Development.

In an exclusive interview with DAILY TRIBUNE, Rafael Fernandez de Mesa, president and CEO of Aboitiz Economic Estates and Aboitiz Land said, “It’s always nice to be recognized for the work that you do. Obviously, it’s a validation that the blood, sweat and tears that we put in every day mean something."

He said the group would also measure its progress through employment generated within its developments.

“By next year, we will measure our success by the number of jobs created in our developments. Hopefully, by next year, we’ll be adding to the currently just over 100,000 jobs within our economic estates,” he added said.

Filinvest Land Inc. won Best Large-Scale Housing Developer, while Futura Homes Palm Estates and Claremont took the awards for Best Housing Development (Visayas) and Best Affordable Housing Development (Luzon), respectively.

“Building Filipino dreams and communities amid adversity, this past year has not been easy. Geopolitical tensions have rippled through global markets, while inflationary pressures have squeezed margins and household budgets,” said Cyndy Tan Jarabata, president of TAJARA Leisure & Hospitality Group Inc.

The awards marked their 14th year of recognizing excellence and innovation in Philippine real estate.
