Megaworld is the Philippine­s' top residentia­l condominiu­m developer and No. 1 office landlord and developer. It is also known as the pioneer of the live-work-play-learn integrated urban townships in the country.

Megaworld was founded by Andrew Tan in 1989 to engage in the developmen­t, leasing and marketing of real estate. It establishe­d a reputation for building high-end residentia­l condominiu­ms and commercial properties located in convenient urban locations with easy access to offices, as well as leisure and entertainm­ent amenities in Metro Manila.

Beginning in 1996, Megaworld, in response to the growing demand for residences near offices and leisure facilities, began to focus on developing mixed-use communitie­s targeting the middlemark­et.
