Hot Topics on the Real Estate and Construction Industry
Here’s a rundown of some of the hot topics in the Philippine real estate and construction industry:
Affordable housing: The government is ramping up efforts to address the shortage of affordable housing units in the country, particularly for the low-income sector. The government has launched several initiatives to address the shortage of affordable housing in the country, including the establishment of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC), the creation of a housing finance company, and the implementation of various socialized housing programs. Additionally, the government has implemented tax incentives for developers who build low-cost housing units, and has also established a fund for housing financing.
Development of new urban centers: The government is pushing for the development of new urban centers outside Metro Manila to decongest the capital and spur economic growth in other regions. The government is promoting the development of new urban centers through its Strategic Development Plan for the Regions, which aims to create balanced regional growth by developing new urban centers outside Metro Manila. This includes investment in infrastructure and the creation of economic zones to attract investment and create jobs.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic: The pandemic has had a significant impact on the real estate and construction industry, leading to a slowdown in activity and causing some projects to be put on hold. To mitigate the impact of the pandemic on the real estate and construction industry, the government has implemented measures such as a moratorium on loan payments, and tax relief for developers and contractors. Additionally, the government has launched a stimulus program to provide financial assistance to affected individuals and businesses.
Infrastructure development: The government's Build, Build, Build program continues to drive investment in infrastructure development, including airports, seaports, highways, and bridges. The government's Build, Build, Build program is a multi-billion dollar infrastructure development initiative that aims to upgrade the country's infrastructure, including airports, seaports, highways, and bridges. The government is working with the private sector to finance, build, and operate these projects, which are expected to drive economic growth and create jobs.
Environment-friendly construction practices: There is growing interest in green building and sustainable construction practices, as developers look to create projects that are more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. The government is promoting green building and sustainable construction practices through various initiatives, including the establishment of a green building council, the creation of a green building rating system, and the implementation of tax incentives for developers who build environmentally friendly projects. Additionally, the government is encouraging the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, in construction projects.
As the industry continues to evolve, it is likely that additional steps will be taken to address new and emerging issues.
