It’s well-known that Vietnam attracts many Singaporean developers who do their utmost to grab a share of this quickly growing market.

Frasers Property is one of the biggest property developers in Singapore that has finalized one commercial project in Ho Chi Minh City and is in the process of finalizing one of the most bespoke condominium projects in Thao Dien, District 2.

In this article, we review the projects, what makes them unique, about the facilities and amenities, unit types, how much you have to pay, and more. Let’s get started.

Foreign investors primarily look for big and reputable developers when buying overseas property.

The Chinese, for example, are known for doing much research about developers before even visiting a country.

Truth be told, failing to do enough research can result in late completions, quality issues, or that the developer runs into financial problems. Not to forget, developers have their own unique style and brand names.

Fortunately, you can find plenty of internationally recognized developers in Malaysia.

Many have dozens of projects completed and are in the process to complete modern infrastructure projects, big innovative projects, and mega housing complexes.

In this article, I’ve listed some of the biggest and most popular property developers in Malaysia.

1. Eco World Development Group

EcoWorld Development Group was not known to many Malaysians a decade back. That said, it’s seen tremendous growth over the past years and is now a big award winning developer in Malaysia.

We’ve seen a big increase in prime real estate in the Philippines recently. Many local developers build these projects and target foreign buyers aggressively.

In fact, nowadays developers often hire in-house salespersons to bypass estate agents. They have good connections with banks, property lawyers, and can sometimes even offer help with financing.

That said, it’s important that you get a good knowledge about local property developers beforehand, before buying off-plan. Late completions and quality issues are just a couple of problems you might come across if not doing enough research.

In this article, I’ve listed some of the biggest and most popular property developers in the Philippines.

1. Ayala Land, Inc.

Ayala Land, Inc. is one of the biggest real estate developers in the Philippines, with its headquarter located in the famous business district, Makati.

It’s a real estate division of Ayala Corporation, which is a century-old company, but has operated independently since 1988. So, they have a long history and experience under their belt.

In 2016, it was the second-largest developer in terms of yearly revenue and its net income reached around PHP 21 billion (USD 400 million). That’s a 15% increase compared to 2015.

Property types

Ayala Land is involved in landbank management, build and manage shopping centers, hotels, and resorts.

Maybe most importantly, they also build plenty of residential buildings, focusing on condominiums and housing projects.
