According to the Q3 2025 Philippine Property Market Report, the average rent per square metre has declined by 52 per cent in the bay area compared to Q1 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average in Alabang in Muntinlupa City decreased by 39 per cent. In Ortigas, Pasig City and in Mandaluyong City, it declined 22 per cent, and in Makati City, 18 per cent. Rates in Taguig City increased by 17 per cent and those in Bonifacio Global City by  3 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golez expects rates in Makati to slowly recover as more companies like major banks open offices there. \u201cWe expect Makati to recover much faster as soon as these office buildings are finished. Perhaps in the next two to four years, Makati numbers should be much better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"see-also-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label\">See also:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-article__thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/04\/The-Laurus-a-Luxury-Collection-Resort-a-five-storey-183-all-suite-luxury-hotel-at-Resorts-World-Sentosa--300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"related-article__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"see-also-label-strong\">See also:<\/span> <a href='https:\/\/focusgn.com\/asia-pacific\/resorts-world-sentosa-opens-new-luxury-hotel'>Resorts World Sentosa opens new luxury hotel<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The average rent per square meter has declined by 52 per cent in the Manila Bay area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":218,"featured_media":26652,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"The closure of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) is cited as a primary factor contributing to a significant decline in residential rental rates, particularly in the Manila Bay area of the Philippines.
