Manila, Philippines – Keen & Worth, the developer behind the landmark Ongpin Tower in Binondo, has been named Best Boutique Developer of 2026 at the Philippine Real Estate Awards 2026, presented by Dot Property and Lamudi Philippines, recognizing the company’s growing contribution to the Philippine property landscape and its distinctive, heritage-conscious approach to development.
The award was presented during the Philippine Real Estate Awards ceremony on September 16, which brought together distinguished names in the Philippine real estate industry to celebrate notable developments, companies, and professionals who made an impact on the property sector over the past year.
For Keen & Worth, the recognition comes as the company continues to make a name for itself through Ongpin Tower. This development puts Filipino-Chinese culture and heritage at the center of its identity through thoughtful design, functionality, and a strong sense of place.
Rising in the heart of Binondo, Ongpin Tower introduces contemporary vertical living to one of Manila’s most storied districts, bringing modern residential spaces and amenities to a neighborhood deeply rooted in Filipino-Chinese history, commerce, and culture.
“Being recognized as Best Boutique Developer of 2026 is an important milestone for us. It affirms our belief that creating urban luxury residential spaces isn’t simply about using premium materials or creating something visually impressive. It is also about tuning in to the communities and environments that matter to our clients,” said Keen & Worth COO Kimberly Klaire K. Wong.
The recognition comes at an important stage for Ongpin Tower and the demand for prime Binondo property has never been higher. The project has reached 86% sold units, and 86% of construction is complete, with turnover strictly on track for 2027. Strategically located in Binondo, Ongpin Tower places residents within close reach of the district’s established commercial centers, dining destinations, business hubs and cultural landmarks. At the same time, the development offers a contemporary residential experience designed to complement the evolving needs of today’s discerning urban residents.
