Aboitiz Land’s Seafront Residences has clinched the title of Best Waterfront Housing Development in Asia at the 20th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards, cementing its position among the region’s standout residential projects.
Located in San Juan, Batangas, the beachfront community stood out for marrying thoughtful design with long-term value creation—an approach increasingly rewarded as buyers prioritize livability over sheer scale.
The win adds to a banner year for the Aboitiz Group. At the same awards, LIMA Estate, developed by Aboitiz Economic Estates, was named Best Industrial Development in Asia.
Together, the accolades reinforce the Group’s integrated real estate strategy: pairing globally competitive industrial estates with well-planned residential communities that support sustainable economic growth.
“These recognitions validate our development model, where industrial, commercial, and residential components are deliberately planned to work together,” said Rafael Fernandez de Mesa, President and CEO of Aboitiz Economic Estates and Aboitiz Land. “Seafront Residences shows how disciplined design and thoughtful placemaking can unlock value across different residential formats.”
Seafront Residences is positioned as an affordable luxury leisure community, emphasizing low-density living, generous open spaces, and curated amenities that support everyday livability.
Unlike many beachfront developments that prioritize land banking, Seafront takes a house-and-lot approach anchored in placemaking—allowing a genuine neighborhood to take shape early and organically.
Master-planned by global urban design firm DPZ, with homes designed by Budji+Royal Architecture, the project reflects a balance of global best practices and local sensibilities. Sustainability and resilience were embedded from the outset, supporting long-term stewardship in a climate-sensitive coastal setting.
The recognition also underscores Seafront Residences’ growth runway. The upcoming Town Center within the community is expected to enhance convenience, create activity hubs, and strengthen long-term property values—highlighting how lifestyle-led developments, when executed with discipline, can deliver enduring appeal alongside measurable economic upside.
