Boutique developer Golden Bay Land Holdings is making waves in the real estate industry today. Jardin Brian B. Wong, the 29-year-old Chief Operating Officer of Golden Bay Land Holdings, has been trained in business as early as age six.
He leads this rising company with values and principles of humility, perseverance, compromise, and smarts. Like his own parents-businessman Bong Wong and former public servant Cely Bernardino–the story of Golden Bay Land Holdings is also a rags-to-riches one. “We started out with only three employees, and our office was only less than 30sqm. It was just a former function room at a hotpot restaurant,” recounts Wong.
Golden Bay Fresh Seafood Restaurants, one business under the corporation being led by the Wong family, helped paved the way for Golden Bay Land Holdings to be created. Through the collaborative effort of the company’s stakeholders and partners, the concept for Aspire Corporate Plaza was realized.
With the massive development of residential properties in the area, they were inspired to build an office property on the 3,500sqm lot sitting behind the now-iconic restaurant, the first thing that came to mind for us was, “Where will all these people hold their offices?’ That’s how we thought of Aspire Corporate Plaza,” recounts Wong about how the company, together with their partners, entered the real estate business.
Through dedication, proper management, and some help and advice from mentors, Golden Bay Land Holdings is now one of the fastest-growing real estate developers in the country today.” Partnering with prestigious construction companies such as Megawide Construction Corp., Asya Design Partner, Sta. Elena Construction and Development Corp., D.A. ABCEDE & Associates, and Meinhardt Philippines, Inc., Golden Bay can deliver on its first project at an impressive rate.
“It is our advocacy to help young Filipino families build their dreams by investing in a house that they can call their own,” says Wong. “We feel that the lack of housing at reasonable prices. I guess this is our contribution to nation-building by helping the middle-aged generation build a brighter future for the next generation.”
