Metro Manila, Philippines

Makati

Makati is the Philippines' premier business district and its most prestigious condo market — bought for location, prestige and corporate-tenant security more than for yield. There is a clear price ladder: Rockwell Center is the most expensive (₱280,000–₱380,000+/sqm), Salcedo and Legazpi Villages are prime mid-luxury (₱200,000–₱280,000/sqm), and the fringe corridor of Poblacion, Bel-Air and San Lorenzo offers the cheapest entry (₱120,000–₱160,000/sqm). Yields move inversely: the prime cores yield only about 2.3%–4.5% net, while lower-priced Poblacion reaches roughly 6.5%–8% gross on short-term and expat demand. Ayala Land Premier, Rockwell Land and Century Properties anchor the tiers, with MRT-3 Ayala Station and the One Ayala hub the main transit anchor. Makati suits prestige end-users and expats over yield-chasers.
