"Few community developments are as well thought out as this. Moreover it's great that the right mix of people choose 68 Roces to call their home." says Derek, a property consultant in Makati, as he talks about the properties that he offers. What appeals to (his clients) is the air of sophistication, the discreetness of the development's location and the quality of the development which translates to nominally higher property appreciation over time. "My very first sale comes from this place, this community is something I feel quite proud of."

GROWTH | Philippine Real Estate Market Report

Featured Article | Philippine Real Estate Market Report

A friend of ours, Paul C. was kind enough to share with us a report that provides well researched, critical information for land developers, asset managers, real estate investors and regular folk like you and me.

The report is developed by Colliers International (not to be mistaken with the encyclopedia company, although i'm not sure if they're the same entity). It covers mostly real estate history and development within the Makati CBD, Fort BGC and Ortigas CBD.

Some excerpts that i found interesting:

On Rents:

YoY (Year on year), the Makati CBD premium rates increased by 4%, to an average of p820 per sq/m monthly (per net useable area.) Grade A offices stood at p680 per sq m monthly, growing by 2% over the first quarter. Similarly, Grade B office rental rates increased by an average of 3% to p450 per sq/m monthly.   As comparative rental rates continue to tighten, demand for office space in Makati tends to be inelastic, considering that the stock is limited. Expectations are for both Grade A and B office rental rates to climb by 9%-11% over the next twelve months. While premium rental rates may rise to more than p900 per sq/m monthly by the start of 2012.

On High End Residential Condo Investments:

Strong market signals seem to hint growth across premium grade condominiums, however the market is continually fed by low- to mid-cost projects reducing supply of bigger unit sizes. In Metro Manila, condominium projects offer 70% of studio and one-bedroom units, with average sizes of 25 sq/m to 35 sq/m. The trend is most likely to continue in the medium term in accord with the emergence of the BpO (Business Process Outsourcing / Call Center) sector, one of the drivers of growth for this segment.

Spending Indicators - Car Purchases:

Early this year, CAMPI announced their forecast of a more conservative sales growth of 4% for 2011, achieving record-breaking sales in 2010. An 8.2% growth in car sales marked the start of the first quarter of 2011, with record sales of 36,293 vehicles. Sold commercial vehicles continue to dominate the market, with 23,867 units, or about 65% of the total share, while sold passenger cars increased by 11.3% to 12,426 units, or 35% of the total share. CAMPI recognizes these records as good signs, despite high growth rates last year, and they remain optimistic, despite the rise in fuel prices. Significant contributors to elevated sales are the bank’s lending capacity and the strong OFW remittances during the start of this year.

I do not consider myself an expert in real estate, hence articles like these are invaluable and cost free assets that help me make decisions on which real estate investments our business should consider.

Take at least 5 minutes to read through it, it's an enlightening and well written document to say the least.

GROWTH | Condo buyers helping out condo buyers

Came across this interesting forum : skyscrapercity

If you browse through the topics listed, you'll find a thread named Philippine Forums, a multi-threaded discussion of some of the skyline defining developments found here in manila and other parts of the country. What's interesting to note is that even pesky sellers (that's me) seem to follow an "unwritten code" of no shameless vending within the confines of the thread.
