More than 1,000 property professionals and top executives from the Philippines are expected to gather in Bangkok for the 2025 Asian Real Estate Summit (ARES), as the sector looks to deepen international ties and navigate a fast-evolving market environment.
Organized by Cebu-based Filipino Homes, ARES 2025 will be held on July 1-2 in the Thai capital, with over 800 delegates already confirmed. Themed *“Empowering Growth: Fostering Global Partnerships with Responsible Developers,”* the summit aims to provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among industry stakeholders.
Filipino Homes founder and president Anthony Gerard Leuterio said participation is likely to exceed 1,000, with more than 30 major property developers set to attend.
“The summit will be an avenue to foster connections among real estate stakeholders, allowing CEOs and top executives to share best practices and insights,” Leuterio said. “It’s also a chance for top real estate sellers to engage directly with industry leaders and discuss the next big trends in the market.”
The event, first held in 2023, is expected to highlight emerging opportunities in the sector, including the rise of mixed-use developments and increasing demand for sustainable and affordable housing.
Leuterio remains optimistic about the Philippine property market in 2025, pointing to continued strong demand and constrained supply, particularly in key urban hubs such as Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao. He noted that primary market units in these cities are quickly absorbed, keeping upward pressure on prices.
He also cited growing development activity in Palawan and Bacolod, driven in part by infrastructure improvements and sustained remittances from overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), which continue to fuel real estate investment.
“Despite challenges such as high interest rates and inflationary pressures, the real estate sector is expected to remain resilient, supported by strong end-user demand and infrastructure-driven growth,” he said.
Major infrastructure projects—including Cebu’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system and nationwide road network upgrades—are also seen boosting the appeal of residential properties.
ARES 2025 is positioned as a key industry event, offering Philippine real estate professionals a venue to explore global opportunities and adapt to market shifts through collaboration and innovation.
