Robinsons Land garners landmark wins
Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) has emerged as the most awarded Philippine developer in this year’s PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards, one of the region’s most prestigious platforms for recognizing excellence in real estate.
The Gokongwei-led property developer bagged a total of seven major accolades, which strengthened anew Robinsons Land’s position in the local and regional landscapes.
In particular, Robinsons Land was named Best Luxury Developer (Asia) while its hospitality group, Robinsons Hotels & Resorts garnered the distinction of being the Best Hospitality Developer (Asia). Other distinctions it garnered from the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards include Best Landmark Design (Asia) for The Victor at Bridgetowne; Best Lifestyle Retail Development Asia for The Mall
NUSTAR; Best Completed Luxury Condo Development (Asia) for The Westin Manila by RLC Residences; Best Mid End Condo Development (Asia) for Sync by RLC Residences; and Best Co Working Space (Asia) for work.able at GBF Center 1.
Established in Thailand in 2005 as the ultimate hallmark to “recognize the region’s finest in real estate” in Asia, the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards acknowledges, rewards and celebrates the extraordinary achievements of developers and developments at a domestic and regional level.
Setting benchmarks
Robinsons Land’s recognitions, spanning residential, retail, hospitality, and workspace projects, indeed showcase the diversity and capabilities of a real estate firm that has long been helping set benchmarks for integrated developments in the country.
At the same time, however, these achievements serve as a powerful statement for the entire Philippine real estate sector. In a region dominated by industry giants from Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, and China, Philippine developers today are gaining traction, credibility and visibility across Asia Pacific. Local players like Robinsons Land can very well compete at the same level as its regional peers, backed by projects whose quality are at par with international standards.
Essentially, these wins strengthen the Philippines’ position in the regional real estate landscape, reflecting the growing competitiveness and sophistication of local players.
More importantly, the results of the latest edition of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards reinforce investor confidence in the ability of Philippine firms to deliver commercially robust, investment-ready assets that meet regional expectations.
No doubt, Philippine developers are now stepping confidently onto the Asian stage, ready to compete at scale and secure a stronger share of opportunities in the region.
A triumph of design and vision
The Victor at Bridgetowne
One of Robinsons Land’s most notable distinctions is for The Victor, a 60-meter installation at the Bridgetowne Destination Estate in Pasig City.
Honored as the Best Landmark Design (Asia), The Victor serves as a powerful symbol of Filipino identity—resilient, creative, and forward-looking. Built in collaboration with renowned Fil-Am artist Jefre Manuel-Figueras, The Victor is said to be a tribute to the indomitable spirit of the Filipino people, and was inspired in part by the life story of John Gokongwei Jr., the late founder of the Gokongwei Group.
Beyond its artistic merit, the installation reflects the company’s ability to build spaces where people can live, work, play and be inspired. At the same time, it is seen to help instill a stronger sense of community while integrating cultural identity into urban development.
Elevating residential living
The Westin Manila
Named as the Best Completed Luxury Condo Development (Asia), The Westin Manila is the first Westin-branded residence in Southeast Asia. It was developed by RLC Residences in partnership with Marriott International to bring hotel-grade luxury into private living.
Each home was designed around Westin’s internationally recognized Six Pillars of Well-Being, offering thoughtfully curated spaces that elevate daily life through wellness, comfort, and considered design. Residents enjoy access to exclusive amenities including The Haven’s leisure and business facilities, the Sky Lounge, fitness studios, and an indoor lap pool, all helping ensure a lifestyle anchored on balance and holistic well-being.
For the regional market, The Westin Manila is a showcase of how Philippine developers are capable of delivering branded residences that align with global hospitality standards.

At the same time, it offers a layered experience with tis specialty boutiques, cultural retail concepts, and an impressive culinary portfolio led by first-in-the-country names like Mott 32, alongside regional favorites. This lifestyle destination, which merges global standards with local character, adds to the ability of Cebu and the Philippines in general to compete for foot traffic, talent, and tourism.
Reshaping the future of workspace
work.able at GBF Center 1
In the co-working category, work.able at GBF Center 1 earned the title Best Co Working Space (Asia) for its distinct vision of what a modern Filipino workspace can be.
Located within the Bridgetowne estate, this space blends cultural heritage with contemporary functionality. Its interiors feature flooring sourced from Vigan’s Calle Crisologo, architectural elements inspired by the bahay na bato, and thoughtful details like sungka tables, bamboo-crafted Bambikes, and a neon “Padayon,” a reminder to keep going. With 388 seats, 15 private offices, a 120-seat town hall, sleeping pods, and dedicated FGD rooms, work.able delivers both flexibility and soul.
This award shows Robinsons Land’s ability to innovate beyond the conventional workplace by championing Filipino identity, sustainability, and community within a modern setting.
‘Hospitality by Heart’
Robinsons Hotels & Resorts
Robinsons Land’s hospitality arm, Robinsons Hotels and Resorts (RHR), also garnered significant recognition, being named Best Hospitality Developer (Asia).
