SINGAPORE — Solidifying its dominance in the ultra-competitive regional high-end property sector as premium buyers prioritize design-led masterplanning and open spaces, a top-tier Philippine developer has scored a massive double victory. Luxury residential builder Brittany has secured two major regional distinctions at the Real Estate Asia Awards 2026.
The luxury developer—the premium residential and leisure arm of Vista Land—was formally recognized during a high-profile regional awarding gala held at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore on Thursday, May 28, 2026.
The dual accolades showcase Brittany’s expanding operational range, recognizing both its established multi-decade inland residential estates and its highly aggressive push into luxury coastal hospitality:
