Philippine Residential Market Expands Beyond Metro Manila, Offices Go Green: A Look at the Future of Sustainable Living & Working

Philippine Real Estate Market is Transforming

According to a recent Inquirer article, the Philippine residential market is witnessing a major shift—moving beyond Metro Manila into growth corridors like Cagayan de Oro, Sto. Tomas (Batangas), and other emerging areas. At the same time, the commercial sector is evolving, with businesses increasingly opting for green, sustainable office spaces.

A prime example of this shift is Megaworld, the country’s largest office developer and landlord, which recently won the ‘Best Green Office Development’ award at the 2024 Philippines Property Awards. The International Finance Center in Uptown Bonifacio, a 24-story LEED v4 Silver-certified office tower, was recognized for its sustainability and eco-friendly design.

Megaworld now has 32 LEED-certified and registered office buildings, with locations in Uptown Bonifacio, McKinley Hill, McKinley West, Arcovia City, Bacolod, Iloilo, Pampanga, Pasig, and Taguig. Some of its LEED Gold-certified buildings include:
🏢 One Paseo (Arcovia City, Pasig)
🏢 One Le Grand Tower (McKinley West)
🏢 Worldwide Plaza (JPMorgan & Chase Co. Tower, Uptown Bonifacio)

With 1.5 million sqm of leasable office space and a goal to reach 2 million sqm by 2030, Megaworld is leading the way in eco-friendly office spaces—reinforcing the growing demand for sustainable workplaces in the Philippines.
