Despite the slump seen in the late ’90s, the local property sector has now more than fully recovered, as evident in the continuing brisk sales and rising demand for new projects. This has allowed the property sector to contribute significantly to the country’s growth, which analysts and industry players expect to remain robust over the years to come. And such an optimistic outlook is consequently deemed to bode well for property developers.

“We are experiencing the best in real estate market. Although, it took a while to have the odds in our favor, what’s good is that we’re now looking at sustained growth and success,” said Empire East Land Holdings Inc. President and CEO Atty. Anthony Charlemagne Yu.

To date, Empire East remains steadfast in its goal to continuously enhance the quality of life of its homeowners by providing them distinct, high-quality and affordable homes. Recently, it has announced and introduced to the market its latest development the Covent Garden and the Mango Tree Residences. Both developments are deemed to once again strengthen the company’s reputation as a strong and trusted player in the industry. “We have been striving to provide developments that would serve the needs of our residents and tenants. In all of our developments, we make it a point to incorporate designs that would allow individuals to thrive and live a life that’s centered on comfort and convenience. What we offer them are spaces that are worth every penny, and one that would satisfy their needs and whims,” Yu related.

Meanwhile, among the projects worth investing and waiting for would be Empire East’s various Transit Oriented and Resort Inspired Developments— all of which are set to create further excitement in the market, and are seen to help boost the housing industry, which was once crippled and brought down to its knees by the economic hardships wrought by the Asian financial crisis of the ’90s.
