Philippines’ Condo King
Posted on | April 3, 2009 |
THE family of Ramos-era Finance Secretary Ramon del Rosario Jr. has emerged from out of nowhere and with minimal advertising to become the country’s biggest condominium builder, eclipsing even the mid-range, heavily-marketed Megaworld or the pioneering low-cost condominium builder, Cityland.
The Del Rosario-controlled Phinma Property has so far built 6,000 condo units, nearly 2,000 more than the industry’s second player, according to Phinma Property president Willie Joven Uy.
Phinma has found an industry sweet spot in the P1.5-million, 30-square-meter unit market, since the property developer built its first condo project, the 1,595-unit, 16-building cluster Smile Citihomes in Novaliches in 1996.
The key, according to Uy, is to find properties near schools and transport facilities and build and deliver the condo within a year. To keep costs down, the condos are all walk-ups (no more than five-stories tall) and the land should not cost more than P6,000/sq. m.
