[Title] => OFWs seen to fuel growth of real estate sector
[Summary] =>
Local property developers are banking on the dollar-earning overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to fuel the growth of the real estate sector.
Rosemarie Basa, chairperson of the CREBA Socialized Housing Foundation Inc., said they believe more remittances can be expected to flow in "if OFWs and balikbayans are given practical and feasible ways to invest in the Philippines, especially in real estate properties."
In the first half of this year alone, OFW remittances amounted to $6 billion and is expected to reach $12 billion for the whole year.

[Title] => Build-to-own condo: One man’s towering dream
[Summary] =>
This man has a towering vision/mission: to enable the neglected middle class to build their own high-rise condominium in a high-end location at low cost.
He’s kidding, right? Dead wrong! The truth is, architect Gilbert Yu has turned many a dream into concrete realities: think more than 1,000 high-rise buildings, from hotels to shopping malls to resorts, here and abroad over more than three decades that his company G&W has been building buildings and housing people.

[Title] => ‘Pawnshop’ approach of banks rapped
[Summary] => Architect and real estate development consultant Gilbert Yu is urging local banks to "professionalize" their real estate loan divisions to be able to help the real estate and construction sector more efficiently and effectively.
Yu said local banks still maintain a "pawnshop" mentality and are not progressive in their approach in providing financing for the real estate sector.
In other countries, Yu said banks are able to provide bridge financing to home buyers and engage in the "supervised release" of funds to developers.

[Title] => New bank entity pushed to handle housing dev’t funds
[Summary] => The government should create or designate a new banking entity to specifically handle housing development funds, a top architect and real estate consultant said.
Gilbert Yu, the architect of some of the country’s prominent building establishments, said many housing development projects have been abused since the developers handle the funds directly.
He said this could be attributed to the absence of any government supervisory agency that oversees developers and ensure the completion of their projects.

[Title] => Architect urges change in HLURB mandate
[Summary] => One of the country’s top architects, Gilbert Yu, is urging government to revise the mandate of the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB).
Yu said the HLURB is already "obsolete" and does not respond anymore to the needs of the real estate, housing and construction industry at this time.
