The event also unveiled the timeline for the 2025 Property Awards: June 6, 2025 - Entries Close; June 23-July 11, 2025 - Site Inspections; July 14, 2025 - Final Judging; August 15, 2025 - Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony in Manila; Philippines December 12, 2025 - Regional Grand Final Gala Dinner and Awards Presentation in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Asia Connect: Cebu forum underscored the increasing competitiveness of Visayas and Mindanao as viable alternatives to Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, and Metro Davao. With a strong focus on suburban and landed developments, these regions are witnessing heightened investor interest, fueled by key government initiatives.
