Megaworld to launch 3 new townships in ’25

Avatar

After reaching its goal of launching its 35th township this year, developer Megaworld Corp. is bullish on the property sector next year as interest rates start going down.

In fact, Megaworld executive director Kevin Tan said they were looking at launching a minimum of two to three new townships in 2025.

“Our residential business continues to be strong, especially the luxury segment … so we continue to be very bullish on that as interest rates keep going down,” Tan told reporters last week.

Easing interest rates typically increase demand for properties, as lower borrowing costs boost customers’ confidence in applying for home loans.

This comes after the Andrew Tan-led developer unveiled the 117-hectare Upper Central township in Cagayan de Oro City, with an initial investment of P5 billion.

It is Megaworld’s 35th township project to date, and forms part of the company’s P350-billion expansion plan that it plans to finish by 2027.

According to Megaworld, the integrated lifestyle community will feature residential villages, a commercial and shophouse district, mixed-use developments and a town center.

The company is currently pursuing more projects outside Metro Manila as demand for residential properties in the capital region weakens.

Still, Kevin Tan said they were optimistic that the residential segment, Megaworld’s main income driver, would remain strong in 2025.
