MANILA CITY, Philippines — Damosa Land, Inc. (DLI), the leading homegrown real estate developer in Mindanao, proudly emerged as the Best Boutique Developer at the 13th PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, held on Aug. 15 at Shangri-La The Fort, Manila. The recognition marks a significant milestone for the Davao-based firm as it continues to elevate regional real estate to national prominence.
Now in its 13th year, the PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards remains one of the country’s most respected real estate programs, honoring companies and developments that set the benchmark for excellence in architecture, sustainability, and innovation. This year’s ceremony cast a spotlight on the growing influence of developers beyond Metro Manila. “The market has expanded and diversified,” said Jules Kay, managing director of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards. “Emerging destinations like Visayas and Mindanao are now leading the charge.”
Chairperson Cyndy Tan Jarabata also emphasized that developers embracing innovation and sustainability—while remaining rooted in cultural identity—are playing a vital role in shaping smarter, greener, and more livable communities across the Philippines.
Damosa Land was recognized across six major categories, reinforcing its position as a leading force in both residential and industrial development. “These awards are a celebration of our vision to create future-ready communities where sustainability is not a feature but a foundation,” said Ricardo “Cary” Lagdameo, president of Damosa Land. “We dedicate this recognition to our partners, stakeholders, and the communities who continue to inspire us to build better and more meaningfully across Mindanao.”
Championing Lifestyle, Innovation, and Livability in the South
Among Damosa Land’s award-winning projects is Kahi Estates, which took home Best Biophilic Landscape Design and Best Subdivision Development. This agri-residential enclave integrates over 100 trees, vegetable plots in each lot, and eco-friendly systems such as pervious pavers, rainwater catchments, and underground utilities. Designed to promote wellness and sustainability, Kahi reflects a future-forward model of subdivision living.
Also securing two major wins is Agriya Gardens, another rising subdivision within the 88-hectare masterplanned township in Panabo City – Agriya. Initially shortlisted in the regional category, the project stunned audiences by claiming both Best Housing Development (Metro Davao) and the national title of Best Housing Development (Philippines). Designed with California Mission-style architecture, the community offers both modern aesthetic appeal and environmental function in features such as permeable pavers, a detention pond, a one-kilometer linear park, solar-powered streetlights, and a community farm that will encourage residents to make eco-conscious living part of their everyday routine.
Over in Samal, Bridgeport Park was awarded Best Waterfront Condominium Development, building on its previous Highly Commended recognition in 2022. With panoramic views of the Davao Gulf, the city skyline, and Mt. Apo, the project blends Atlantic-inspired coastal charm with resort-style amenities, including a forest park and the island’s longest linear pool.
Meanwhile, Anflo Industrial Estate (AIE)—Mindanao’s premier agro-industrial hub—earned a Highly Commended recognition for Best Industrial Development. Strategically located and infrastructure-ready, AIE continues to attract investors while generating local employment and driving regional growth.
A Homegrown Vision With National Impact
More than just building properties, Damosa Land is building a movement—one that places sustainable growth, purposeful design, and community well-being at the core of real estate development. Its recent recognition among national peers affirms that regional developers like Damosa Land are not only capable of competing on a larger stage but are also helping shape the future of the industry.
With over two decades of experience, Damosa Land has long embedded sustainability into every aspect of its projects—well before it became an industry trend. From residential estates that honor the South’s agricultural heritage to industrial zones that enable long-term economic resilience, the company’s developments are rooted in a unified purpose: to build communities that are future-ready, resilient, and inclusive.
“Every project we build is a reflection of our promise to push progress forward with the next generation in mind, while remaining anchored in the values and culture of our region,” added Lagdameo. “We hope that as we continue to grow, more of the country sees what Mindanao has to offer—not just in beauty, but in opportunity.”
