A smart way to make one’s savings grow is by making investments. Stocks, corporate bonds, or bank products—there are a number of options to choose from. But one type of investment prospect that is on the rise is real estate. Not only does it have a high asset value, but there is also a good chance that the value of the property will increase over time.
Although investing in real estate is a good idea, you need to be critical on the company you will invest in. There are numerous real estate developers in Metro Manila, but researching and knowing which company to trust with your money is crucial. The following is a list of the country’s top property developers, along with one of their best properties.
1. Megaworld Corporation
The Venice, one of the developer’s award-winning projects, is composed of seven buildings in all.
