About
Built to compound
Rapid urbanization and a booming services sector are pulling workers into the Philippines’ high-growth cities faster than quality housing can absorb them. Much of what is available is informal, non-compliant, and poorly managed.
Our mission is to close that gap: well-built, professionally managed homes the Filipino workforce can count on.
Acquisitions
What we’re looking to buy
Acquisition Criteria
Every acquisition passes a strict, pre-committed screen. We analyze roughly one hundred properties for every one we buy.
- Small multifamily in high-density, high-demand districts
- Fixer-upper to dilapidated condition, priced accordingly
- Target monthly yield achieved on purchase price
- Compliance with national building and safety standards
Standardized Build System
We develop our own buildings. Construction is where value-add returns are won or lost, so we standardized the process.
- Benchmarked cost per door on every project
- Ten signed stage gates from design to turnover
- Six-month target cycle on a standard build
- Owner-managed builds
