Paying tribute to notable personalities behind brands, iconic structures

“Some people look for a beautiful place

Others make a place beautiful. ”-Hazrat Inayat Khan

More than just the bricks, steel, and creative designs that make up a structure, it is often the people behind it that spell all the difference.

Inquirer Property has long featured projects, ranging from the ultra luxurious residences to the socialized housing units—all designed specifically to cater to the needs and whims of the different markets they sought to serve.

One simple structure could take months to be completed, while there are also those that take hundreds of years to be built, like the Kremlin and Strasbourg Cathedral, either because of lack of funds or due to the highly intricate details that go with each innovative design.

Whatever the case may be, the fact remains that every structure has its own story to tell, a history to share, and a legacy to preserve. A structure whether it was made of wood, stone, steel or glass, should be viewed to its core and looked at beyond its shell.

And while they sometimes look the same, these structures are special and unique in their own way simply because of the passion and dedication that the people behind them had put in.

Without that distinct, personal touch, the heart and soul, every structure would render and remain just that—a piece of constructed concrete.

In today’s issue, the Inquirer Property gives you a glimpse of some of the personalities behind the most notable communities and estates, impressive towers, and massive skyscrapers in the country, many of which have left and will surely leave many individuals gaping in awe and admiration.

These are the people who continue to work hard to ensure that every Filipino would have a decent home to go to, an inspiring place to visit and relax, as well as offices and institutions that will encourage them to be the best versions of themselves.

Each of the personalities featured here stands as a living testament to the beliefs that their organizations adhere to, becoming the instruments to what companies hope to achieve, create and accomplish in the Philippine real estate industry.

Property is for the people and thus, it is only fitting to look beyond the mere structure and give value and focus to the humans who have devoted much of their time, energy and brilliance to create such splendid structures. The Inquirer Property hopes to let the readers get to know more about the hard work and dedication these people put into every unit, house, office, building, community, township and estate.

From the daughters and sons of the owners, to the dedicated communication, marketing and sales specialists and the property management team—all of them have played a key role to helping build the brand and uphold the values that their respective companies uphold.

These are the people who make painstakingly beautiful places year after year after year.
