The Asian Real Estate Summit (ARES) 2025 is expected to draw more than 1,000 industry professionals to Bangkok in July, as property leaders from the Philippines gather to explore growth opportunities and forge global partnerships.
Organized by Cebu-based Filipino Homes, the summit will run from July 1 to 2 under the theme “Empowering Growth: Fostering Global Partnerships with Responsible Developers.”
More than 800 delegates have already registered for the event, which will bring together founders, presidents, and senior executives from over 30 top Philippine property developers.
“The summit will be an avenue to foster connections among real estate stakeholders, allowing CEOs and top executives to share best practices and insights,” said Anthony Gerard Leuterio, founder and president of Filipino Homes. “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.”
Debuting in 2023, ARES aims to offer a platform for networking, knowledge exchange, and collaboration amid changing market dynamics and rapid innovation in the real estate sector.
Leuterio remains optimistic about the Philippine property market in 2025, citing strong demand and constrained supply in major urban areas such as Cebu, Metro Manila, and Davao. “New developments are selling out quickly and keeping upward pressure on property prices,” he said.
Emerging markets like Palawan and Bacolod are also seeing increased activity in property development, driven in part by infrastructure improvements including Cebu’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system and nationwide road network upgrades.
Sustained remittance inflows from overseas Filipino workers continue to support investment in real estate, particularly in urban centers and tourist hotspots.
Leuterio also pointed to a growing demand for sustainable and affordable housing, as well as integrated mixed-use developments combining residential, commercial, and lifestyle amenities.
“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.
ARES 2025 is seen as a key event for industry players seeking to expand their networks, gain market insights, and stay ahead of trends shaping the Philippine and regional property landscape.
