Megaworld, the Philippines' leader and pioneer developer of integrated urban townships and the top BPO office landlord and developer, emerged to be this year's most awarded company in the 2015 Property and Real Estate Awards recently held at the new Marriott Grand Ballroom in Newport City.

Organized by the International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI) Philippines chapter, the awards were given to property developers that established proven track records and remarkable performances in the country's real estate industry, a press release from Megaworld said.

It also said Megaworld received the most coveted "Overall Outstanding Developer" for pioneering and innovating the LIVE-WORK-PLAY lifestyle concept into its developments.

Megaworld chairman and CEO Dr. Andrew Tan was named “Property Man of the Year” for his outstanding contribution in the Philippine real estate industry. FIABCI recognized Tan's vision in creating sustainable communities that allow Filipinos to live, work, play and learn -- the concept that Megaworld pioneered and introduced to the Philippines 26 years ago. Through his visionary leadership, Tan has turned Megaworld into a real estate giant and one of the most admired companies in the Philippines today, the press release said.

Aside from the two major awards, the company also bagged the “Outstanding Developer for Office” for its 8 Campus Place, the first Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) Gold-certified office building for Business Process Outsourcing companies located in McKinley Hill Township in Fort Bonifacio; and the “Outstanding Developer for Townships/Mixed-use Communities” for Eastwood City, the country's first PEZA accredited cyberpark for Information Technology-Business Process and Outsourcing (IT-BPO).

“We build cities within cities. We establish CBDs from one city to another. We help businesses grow as they provide more jobs for more Filipinos. We help build people's dreams for a better life in every community that we create. This is the future of the Philippine real estate industry,” Tan said.

The 2015 Property and Real Estate Awards is FIABCI's first in the Philippines and was attended by hundreds of property and home developers, contractors, realtors, brokers from the Asia Pacific region as well as government officials of the Philippines.

Megaworld is the country's leading real estate developer that has 17 urban integrated townships in its portfolio with712,000 square meters of office spaces for IT-BPO and traditional companies.

The company has recently launched two townships in Bacolod, Northill Gateway (53 hectares) and The Upper East (34 hectares) and three more townships are underway to bring a total of 20 townships in its portfolio by end of 2015.*
