Official UK Launch of Acqua Private Residences, First Waterfront Apartments in Manila, Philippines

By Gemma Stephenson


There's been a continual demand for property in Manila, Philippines, due to the strength of its business district, making the city an ideal location for luxury residential developments.

According to The International Monetary Fund (IMF), last year the Philippine economy saw a 7.3% growth - the highest in 34 years - which has highlighted the country's strength within the global market.

James McCormack, Fitch Ratings, recently reported in relation to keeping its stable outlook for the Philippines because of the country's monetary and financial stability, "The Philippine banking sector is reasonably isolated from what's been going on internationally, that includes both exposure to sub-prime and other assets with questionable values."

The high demand for apartments in Manila continues to rise and now the opportunity is being offered to international investors in the UK and Europe to be a part of Manila's first iconic waterfront development, the Acqua Private Residence.

Located at the meeting point of two cities, Mandaluyong and Makati, Acqua is easily accessible via the newly-constructed Estrella-Pantaleon Bridge and is the first development to take shape on the historic Pasig River.

Steven Worboys, Managing Director of Property Investment specialists, Experience International states,

"The Philippines has been one of our strong market performers for a number of years now and we anticipate increased interest and growth following the UK release of Acqua Private Residence. Acqua is Century's new flagship project where we can offer our clients' strong rental yields and capital growth."

The 2009 CBRE Asian Market report showed that luxury residential rental yields in Manila were 7% - 10% and one of the highest in Asia. It is anticipated that rental yields for luxury residential apartments in Manila, especially Makati condos, will rise to 10% -13% plus in 2011, based on previous Century Property developments.
