Dubai-based developer DAMAC Properties is intensifying its outreach to Filipino investors, recently hosting an exclusive property showcase in Manila. This event, organized in partnership with ERA Philippines and supported by Infinity Realty, aimed to introduce a diverse array of Dubai residential projects to potential buyers.
The showcase highlighted various properties, from high-rise urban towers to resort-style master-planned communities and branded residences. This initiative targets both first-time overseas buyers and seasoned investors eager to diversify their portfolios beyond the Philippine market.
ERA Philippines has noted a surge in interest among Filipino investors in offshore assets, reflecting a broader trend toward global investment opportunities. “We’ve observed a strong interest among Filipino investors in exploring opportunities beyond the local market, particularly as they become more deliberate about diversification,” remarked Jemariz Austria, the Director of Marketing and PR for ERA Philippines.
Austria further elaborated on their role: “Our aim is to bridge that gap by making international real estate more accessible, informed, and approachable. Through our partnership with DAMAC Properties, we brought global developments directly to Filipino investors, providing them with clarity, proper guidance, and confidence to assess markets like Dubai.”
Among the notable projects presented at the event were Safa Gate, located along Sheikh Zayed Road, DAMAC Islands with entry prices starting at around ₱10.9 million, and DAMAC Riverside Views, which features waterfront living concepts. Chelsea Residences was also showcased, notable for its lifestyle-oriented appeal as a branded residential development.
Founded in 2002, DAMAC Properties has a solid track record with over 50,000 residential units delivered and another 54,000 currently in development. The company boasts an impressive portfolio that includes luxury towers, hospitality projects, and expansive communities, operating across 15 cities worldwide.
This event in Manila is part of ERA Philippines’ broader strategy to engage international investors, building upon previous presentations, including a U.S.-focused showcase in late 2025. This indicates a sustained interest among Filipino buyers in global property investments, underscoring the growing appeal of international markets.
For many Filipino buyers, Dubai is increasingly perceived as a prime entry point into overseas real estate investing. With favorable market conditions and a robust economy, it stands out as an attractive option for diversifying investment portfolios.
