ABOUT CENTURY PROPERTIES

HISTORY

It was a period of fundamental shifts. The world staggered on the precipice of change.

Haley’s comet came closest to the Sun and our night skies were awash with fireworks of the cosmic kind. IBM unveiled the first laptop computer in foreshadowing of things to soon come. 

The Human Genome Project was launched to understand the very syntax of life.

Broadsheets turned on its head as headlines were being written every other hour.

1986, there was a hum of promise and peril in the air. 

And Century rose from such a time.

Twenty-five years later and Century Properties is one of the top five real estate sales and development firms in the Philippines, building homes and communities that cater to the individual and collective aspirations of a nation.

Century’s involvement in its projects spans the distance and breadth of the building process that iterates into a cycle of improvement and innovation.

This level of commitment provides us with meaningful insights into the elements that make residential and commercial ecosystems thrive.

For Century, it’s not just about the pursuit of the next building; it’s about finding, developing and maintaining better communities where lives can find pleasure and fulfillment.

From 6 people with a common dream to 3000 employees making that dream a reality, Century Properties continues its legacy of innovative urban development, inspiring Filipinos to keep looking up and celebrate the sky.

Indeed what started as a dream 25 years ago is now a vision whose time has come.
