As The Philippine STAR marks its 39th anniversary this July, the theme “R39ENERATE” calls attention to how individuals, institutions, and industries are transforming with purpose. In a time shaped by digital disruption, misinformation, and economic uncertainty, regeneration isn’t just about survival—it’s about strategy. It’s about finding new strength in familiar foundations. And nowhere is this more evident than in the Philippine real estate market.
This special second issue of Property Report pays tribute to that evolving spirit—showing how developers, designers, property professionals, and homebuyers are rethinking the way we live, build, and invest. Across the country, we are seeing regeneration take root in many forms: from adaptive reuse and sustainable retrofits to new architectural mindsets that center biodiversity, climate, and culture.
Inside, you’ll find timely discussions on how Filipino homeowners are creating spaces that reflect personal identity and purpose; how the next generation of designers is shaping the future of Philippine design; and how work-from-home culture is redefining what we need from our cities and spaces. We look at how informed ownership—backed by strong regulation and education—can protect buyers and bring greater trust to the market. We revisit the past through smart building retrofits and explore how heritage can power future-forward spaces. And we examine how nature-inspired, regenerative architecture offers more than just environmental compliance—it offers a blueprint for resilience, community, and renewal.
Throughout these pages, you’ll also find updates from leading real estate and retail developers—news that shows how innovation and thoughtful design continue to enhance the way we live.
In the end, “R39ENERATE” is more than just a theme. It’s a reminder that progress doesn’t always mean starting from scratch. Sometimes, the best way forward is to look at what we already have—and find new ways to make it better, more meaningful, and more connected to the lives we want to build.
