Camella has been named Best Housing Developer in Visayas and Mindanao at the Dot Property and Lamudi Philippines Real Estate Awards 2026.

The distinction places national scale beside regional strength. For nearly five decades, Camella has expanded across the archipelago by building where Filipino families decide to reside, pursue livelihoods, raise children, and prepare property assets for succeeding generations. In Visayas and Mindanao, the story has unfolded alongside shifting cities, supporting economies, infrastructure expansion, and enduring cultural identities.

At the heart of Filipino life

Housing in the Philippines holds vital economic and social significance, anchoring mobile families and overseas workers. This impact is profound in the Visayas and Mindanao, where the 2024 PSA Census placed their combined population at over 48.56 million—accounting for more than 43 percent of the national total of 112.73 million. Separately, Visayas has approximately 21.03 million residents, while Mindanao has about 27.53 million. Representing a complex mix of nuclear, extended, and multigenerational households with diverse spatial needs, these millions share a deeply interwoven cultural aspiration: securing a stable, lasting address to build their family legacy.

Being named Best Housing Developer in Visayas and Mindanao marks a meaningful milestone on Camella’s road to 50 years. Having grown alongside generations of Filipino families, this accolade strengthens its commitment to building sustainable communities where local heritage, modern lifestyles, and family legacies seamlessly move forward together.

Residential reach amid regional resilience

Southern Philippine economies continue to broaden their national contribution. In 2025, Western Visayas led countrywide growth at 6.40 percent, followed by Negros Island and Caraga at 5.70 percent, Davao Region at 5.15 percent, BARMM at five percent, Northern Mindanao at 4.90 percent, and SOCCSKSARGEN at 4.80 percent—all outpacing the 4.40 percent national average. This rapid growth reshapes where families work and invest. As infrastructure improves, Camella aligns its residential map with this regional momentum.

Camella’s development across Visayas and Mindanao is measured in decades. Iloilo reached its 25th-anniversary milestone in 2025, as the Heart of the Philippines continued to strengthen its standing in tourism, commerce, education, and investment. Bacolod has welcomed the housing brand since 2008, while communities in Cebu are approaching four decades of residential presence. Cagayan de Oro is nearing 20 years with Camella, while the Davao Region marked three decades in 2025, sustaining a longstanding footprint across nearly a dozen locations.

Those timelines span shifts in property preferences and household structures, demonstrating why longevity matters in real estate: Camella does not merely respond to a region at one point in time; it remains relevant as roads, routines, and responsibilities change.

A sense of scale, pride in place

Celebrating its 49th year in 2026 with over 600,000 homes and 1,250 communities across 49 provinces and 147 cities and municipalities, Camella leverages a massive geographic reach to provide distinct visibility across tourism destinations, growth centers, and infralink projects.

Recognizing that the Visayas and Mindanao resist a single residential formula—with hubs like Iloilo, Cebu, Bacolod, Davao, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Tagum, Koronadal, and General Santos each possessing unique cultural identities—the housing brand pairs proven planning with localized relevance. By positioning house-and-lot developments near workplaces, schools, and transit networks, Camella blends regional lifestyle amenities with security features tailored for long-term living. This compelling nationwide presence turns its latest industry award into a resonant milestone, affirming nearly five decades of homebuilding that empowers Filipino families to put down permanent roots while their diverse regional economies rise around them.
