Written by Emmanuel Andrew Venturina, Head of IQI Philippines Cavite is solidifying its position as one of the Philippines’ most dynamic property markets, driven by a strong local economy anchored in manufacturing, outsourcing and leisure industries. Improved road connectivity across South Luzon has transformed Cavite from a suburban extension of Metro Manila into a vibrant urban center and major satellite city, attracting national developers eager to invest beyond the capital. Industrial activity is expanding quickly, supported by manufacturing operations in automotive, semiconductors, and packaging, and strengthened further by new foreign investment pledges secured under the Marcos administration.These investments are expected to boost industrial space absorption, job creation and long-term economic activity across the province. This industrial momentum is directly fuelling residential demand, especially in General Trias, where lot-only developments have achieved 60 to 100 percent take-up and upscale projects priced between P4 million and P10 million account for nearly half of sales. Affordable and economic housing units priced from P580,000 to P3.2 million are also nearly sold out, with General Trias’ average house-and-lot price reaching P3.2 million per unit. With its strong residential base, proximity to industrial parks and expanding infrastructure, Cavite is positioned to become the next major real estate growth corridor in South Luzon. The rollout of transformative projects such as Calax and the Silang Interchange, expected to be fully operational by 2026, is set to elevate land values and accelerate the province’s property development cycle even further. For more countries updates:Download Now!

Written by Emmanuel Andrew Venturina, Head of IQI PhilippinesThe Philippine real estate market remained resilient in Q3 2025, showing signs of sustained demand across both commercial and residential segments despite broader global uncertainties.Metro Manila’s prime office vacancy rate dropped to 8.5% from 9.2% in the previous quarter, while newly launched office space saw a healthy take-up rate of 75%—a reflection of ongoing local and international business expansions. Residential vacancy held at approximately 12%, underpinned by continued demand for condominiums and affordable housing in key growth corridors. Capital values also climbed across the board. Residential properties in Metro Manila appreciated by 6.8% year-on-year, while commercial properties posted gains of 5.4%. This uplift is closely tied to major infrastructure rollouts, including expanded transport networks and ongoing government-led development projects. Together, these fundamentals suggest a market well-positioned for continued momentum heading into 2026, with urban connectivity and housing accessibility acting as key drivers. Discover more country insights here!Download

written by EMMANUEL ANDREW VENTURINA, Head of IQI PhilippinesThe Philippines government's new 99-year land lease policy under President Ferdinand Marcos marks a strategic shift aimed at boosting foreign investment. Historically, foreigners were restricted from owning land and could only lease it for limited durations. This new long-term lease policy offers foreign investors near-ownership security, aligning the Philippines with global standards and making it more attractive for investments in real estate, tourism, manufacturing, and other sectors. This approach is expected to enhance foreign capital inflows, generate jobs, and facilitate technology transfer, ultimately diversifying and strengthening the local economy. Simultaneously, infrastructure and industrial growth are accelerating, particularly in Central Luzon. Aboitiz InfraCapital has launched the Tari Estate in Tarlac City, a 200-hectare development designed as a smart, sustainable business hub. With strong government backing and strategic connectivity to transport networks, the project is expected to become a catalyst for regional economic growth. Its integrated offerings—from residential to commercial—position Central Luzon as a rising investment destination, reinforcing investor confidence in the Philippines' evolving real estate and economic landscape. For more countries updateDownload Now!
