  • 7 Trends Shaping Philippine Real Estate in 2020
    Report 7 Trends Shaping Philippine Real Estate santosknightfrank.com/research in 2020 he beginning of 2020 has been marked by a series of unexpected events that continue to affect the global economy. Despite the impact of COVID-19 and downturn in international stock markets, the Philippine real estate industry continues to have reasons to be optimistic, according to leading real estate service company, Santos Knight Frank. This is due to various drivers, including the roll out of REITs, continuous expansion of BPO companies, and strong consumer demand. (Since 1985, household consumption has accounted for 70-75% of Philippine GDP). Santos Knight Frank identifies the seven key trends that will be shaping the real estate industry this 2020. Media inquiries — Paolo Abellanosa Santos Knight Frank Research Reports are available [email protected] at santosknightfrank.com/market-reports 1. The year for REITs More property companies have expressed interest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) after regulators unveiled the revised rules in January. Property giant Ayala Land recently filed its application for its own REIT subsidiary, AREIT, while DoubleDragon Properties Corp is looking at raising PHP 11 billion annually over a six- year period via REITs. Companies such as Megaworld, SM Prime Holdings Inc., Robinsons Land, and Ortigas & Co. have also expressed interests on REITs. Asia-Pacific REIT markets Australia, Japan, and Singapore have all performed well in 2019, producing higher dividend yields than listed property companies, according to Santos Knight Frank. In addition to the impressive performance of dividend yields in the three markets, REITs in Hong Kong and Japan have delivered higher total returns versus listed property companies during the year.
