(SPOT.ph) As Metro Manila becomes more crowded, people are looking upwards for living spaces, including the ultra-rich. The traditional concept of homeownership has long been evolving, with a noticeable shift from land-based properties to high-rise condominiums.

The aftermath of the pandemic sees the Philippines’ economy on the mend and with it, a booming interest in luxury condominiums with a starting price of P20 million and upwards.

We’re not surprised with that, but which specific condominiums are we talking about here?
