Private Sector Boosts Mass Housing Projects
A leading real estate company has pledged to deliver more than 35,600 mass housing units by next year, reinforcing the government’s efforts to accelerate housing programs under the current administration. This commitment aligns well with the ongoing government services overhaul aimed at speeding up housing projects led by the Marcos administration.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the promise came from the CEO of a prominent developer recognized for its socialized housing projects nationwide. This move is expected to significantly support the President’s directive to fast-track affordable housing developments.
Expanding Horizontal Mass Housing Development
The focus on horizontal mass housing development marks a strategic shift from vertical or condominium-type housing projects. Officials emphasized that expanding horizontal developments will help address the demand from local government units and partners seeking more affordable housing options.
The developer confirmed that construction is already underway on various housing projects across key provinces such as Pampanga, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal. This geographic spread aims to meet the growing need for accessible homes outside congested urban centers.
Commitment Details and Future Plans
In a formal letter to government housing authorities, the developer outlined a detailed roadmap for contributing 35,656 housing units within the next two years. The letter highlighted that the recent government announcement prioritizing horizontal developments under the national housing program has strengthened their resolve to continue supporting this mission.
Officials noted that this approach not only accelerates housing production but also encourages more private partners to join the nationwide mass housing initiative. Local experts agree that such partnerships are crucial for producing a higher volume of affordable homes efficiently.
Recognized Leader in Socialized Housing
The company has been acknowledged for its consistent performance, having received national awards as a top developer for socialized housing for three consecutive years. It also holds the distinction of delivering the highest number of socialized housing units both nationwide and in the National Capital Region recently.
These accolades underscore the firm’s capability and commitment to addressing the country’s housing backlog through sustainable and inclusive developments.
Government’s Role in Housing Expansion
Housing authorities reiterated the importance of inclusivity in housing programs. They emphasized responding to the appeals of local governments for more horizontal projects that offer affordable prices to Filipino families.
With private sector support growing, the government is optimistic that mass housing production will accelerate, helping more families secure decent and affordable homes in the near future.
