Century Properties Group founder and chairman Jose E.B. Antonio was named the 2012 Real Estate Personality of the Year by Ensign Media during its prestigious Southeast Asia (SEA) Property Awards in Singapore.
Antonio was given the award for his work as “a true industry pioneer”; for “transforming the Manila skyline with quality developments”; and for “drawing the global spotlight not only to the Philippines but to the entire Southeast Asian region with notable brand collaborations.”
He is the second recipient of the said award after Ho Kwon Ping, Executive Chairman of the Banyan Tree Holdings, won it in 2011.

The Century Properties founder also received the Highly Commended citations bestowed by the awards to Trump Tower at Century City for the Best Residential Development-Philippines category, and Century Properties Group for the Best Developer-Philippines category.
A firm believer in the growth potential of the Philippines, Antonio founded Century Properties 26 years ago amidst one of the country’s most turbulent periods in history—the People Power Revolution.
Five economic cycles and two and a half decades later, Century has emerged as a leader in innovative real estate concepts—from creating the first fully-fitted and fully-furnished condominiums in the Philippines to introducing interior design themes into residential spaces.
Under Antonio’s leadership, Century also announced unprecedented collaborations with global brands in real estate and interior design, including Versace Home for The Milano Residences, MissoniHome for Acqua Livingstone, Trump for Trump Tower at Century City, yoo inspired by Starck with John Hitchcox and Philippe Starck for Acqua Iguazu and Ms. Paris Hilton for the Azure Urban Resort Residences Beach Club.
“I believe that Century’s remarkable competitive strength lies in the passion of its people. This has translated into a proven heritage of innovation and product differentiation. We are committed to not just introduce firsts but also deliver quality projects that help transform Metro Manila as a world-class and cosmopolitan city,” Antonio said.
Jules Kay, managing editor of Property Report Southeast Asia magazine, said that, “despite such high-profile developments, as a seasoned property professional (Antonio) remains focused on quality… He is a true industry pioneer. He and his sons have been slowly transforming the Manila skyline, drawing a global spotlight not only on the Philippines, but also the Southeast Asian region.” To learn more about our Projects, contact us at +639173236123.
