Megaworld Corporation is a publicly listed real estate company in the Philippines responsible for pioneering the integrated township development model. Incorporated on August 24, 1989, and traded on the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE: MEG), Megaworld develops residential condominiums, office buildings, retail malls, and hotels across master-planned communities nationwide.
Core Mandate
Megaworld engages in three primary business segments:
- Real estate sales — Residential condominiums, house-and-lot developments, and commercial lots
- Leasing operations — Office space (primarily to BPO enterprises) and retail mall space
- Hotel management — Operation of homegrown hotel brands under Richmonde Hotel Group
The company pioneered the "live-work-play-learn" township concept in the Philippines, integrating residential, commercial, office, and lifestyle components within single developments.
Key Services

- 800+ residential buildings launched since incorporation
- 1.5 million+ sqm of gross leasable office space
- 500,000+ sqm of retail mall space through Megaworld Lifestyle Malls

- 30+ townships in key urban and tourism areas
Notable township developments include Eastwood City (Quezon City), McKinley Hill and McKinley West (Taguig), Newport City (Pasay), Forbes Town Center (Makati), Iloilo Business Park, and The Mactan Newtown (Cebu).

Relevance to Independent Brokerages
Megaworld operates proprietary sales platforms and in-house brokerage networks for its developments. For independent real estate brokers and realty hubs, this presents both competition and opportunity.
You can leverage platforms like iRealtee to:
- Access property listings from multiple developers, not just one
- Maintain your own client database through CRM tools
- Track commissions across different developer partnerships
- Build brand independence through white-label solutions
Unlike developer-captive platforms, independent brokerage software allows you to sell Megaworld properties alongside Ayala Land, SMDC, DMCI, and other developers without platform restrictions.
