Fil-Estate Properties Inc.

Fil-Estate was established in 1981 as a marketing company. Founded by Robert John L. Sobrepeña, Ferdinand T. Santos, and Noel M. Cariño, the group began property development in 1983, building a portfolio that included first-class estates, world-class golf courses, residential and commercial buildings, a theme park, and an industrial community. In 1994, the company formed Fil-Estate Land Inc., its primary real estate holding company that became public the following year. Soon after, the group began offering investment, corporate planning, and portfolio management services, while it continued developing and marketing more successful projects throughout the country.

Some of its notable developments include Manila Southwoods, Philippines’ first integrated golf course and residential subdivision; Camp John Hay, a former military rest and recreation facility in Baguio City; and Forest Hill, a residential estate and country club in Antipolo City. Now on its 17th year, Fil-Estate continues to be a formidable force in the real estate industry.
