Banyan Tree Manila Bay Sets Record with Billion-Peso Penthouse Sales

Rapid Sell-Out: Banyan Tree Manila Bay’s Luxury Penthouses

Banyan Tree Manila Bay, a landmark development redefining luxury real estate in the Philippines, has achieved a historic milestone. Within just six months of its launch, all penthouse units—most exceeding 1,000 square meters and priced at over ₱1 billion—have been completely sold out. Among these is the largest penthouse currently available on the market, further cementing the project’s status as a game-changer in the ultra-luxury segment.

This remarkable success underscores the strength of the Philippines’ high-value property market, with demand for ultra-luxury residences reaching unprecedented levels.

Unmatched Demand for Exclusive Living

“The overwhelming response to Banyan Tree Manila Bay’s initial release is a testament to the strength of the luxury real estate market in the Philippines,” said Martin Taylor, Chief Operating Officer of Banyan Tree Manila Bay. “The exceptional demand for our penthouses and prime units highlights the discerning tastes of buyers who value exclusivity, craftsmanship, and long-term capital appreciation.”

Beyond penthouse sales, Banyan Tree Manila Bay has already sold 30% of its initial release, including several of its 39 prime residences. This rapid absorption reflects the project’s appeal as a premier address for luxury living.

Nest Seekers International: A Key to Success

The record-breaking sales were driven by the expertise of Nest Seekers International, the exclusive marketing and sales partner for Banyan Tree Manila Bay. As a globally recognized real estate firm, Nest Seekers International leveraged its extensive network and strategic approach to connect with high-net-worth buyers seeking more than just an investment—an unparalleled lifestyle.

“Nest Seekers International brought a global perspective to Banyan Tree Manila Bay, leveraging our extensive network and innovative strategies to connect with high-net-worth buyers,” said Andy Regalado, Chief Marketing Officer and Regional Director for Asia at Nest Seekers International. “These clients demand not just properties with investment potential but unparalleled lifestyle experiences, and Banyan Tree Manila Bay delivers on all fronts. We are proud to contribute to a development that sets a new benchmark for ultra-luxury real estate, not just in the Philippines but worldwide.”

This partnership has positioned Banyan Tree Manila Bay as the gold standard for branded residences in Asia, proving that Manila is now a competitive player in the global luxury real estate landscape.

Manila Emerges as a Global Luxury Property Destination

While some real estate markets worldwide face uncertainty, Manila is emerging as a new hotspot for high-value investments. Banyan Tree Manila Bay’s record-breaking success places the city alongside global real estate powerhouses like Manhattan, Los Angeles, and Dubai—regions where ultra-luxury real estate continues to thrive, driven by affluent investors.

This is in stark contrast to markets like London and Singapore, where policy shifts and taxation challenges have slowed luxury property sales. Against this backdrop, Banyan Tree Manila Bay’s rapid sell-out of billion-peso penthouses underscores Manila’s growing reputation as a premier destination for ultra-luxury real estate.

Development Progress and Investment Confidence

Construction of Banyan Tree Manila Bay remains on track, with 28% of Phase 1 already completed. Structural works and interior fit-outs are the next focus, with residential turnover scheduled for Q4 of 2027 and the hotel’s grand opening in 2028.

Investor confidence remains exceptionally high, with pre-opening reservations quickly converting into deposits. Early buyers have enjoyed exclusive incentives, including preferential terms for all-cash payments and membership in the Sanctuary Club, which provides access to Banyan Group’s prestigious network of global properties and services.

A Rare Opportunity for Discerning Buyers

Banyan Tree Manila Bay offers a curated selection of two- and three-bedroom residences, along with ultra-premium prime units boasting breathtaking views of Manila Bay.

Current pricing still reflects launch rates, presenting a rare opportunity for prospective buyers to secure a world-class residence. As construction advances, prices are expected to rise, making early investment even more advantageous.

With its unparalleled luxury, record-breaking sales, and strategic global positioning, Banyan Tree Manila Bay is shaping up to be the most coveted address in the country—a symbol of Manila’s ascent in the world of ultra-luxury real estate.
