As Metro Manila becomes more crowded, people are looking upwards for living spaces, including the ultra-rich. The traditional concept of homeownership has long been evolving, with a noticeable shift from land-based properties to high-rise condominiums.
The aftermath of the pandemic sees the Philippines’ economy on the mend and with it, a booming interest in luxury condominiums with a starting price of P20 million and upwards.
Recent data from real estate platform Lamudi reveals an overwhelming 93% of inquiries for the most luxurious condos for sale were concentrated in Metro Manila, with Makati, Taguig, and Pasig emerging as the top three cities.
