HBA Manila marks ten remarkable years
As 2025 draws to a close, we proudly celebrate a decade of HBA’s transformative presence in the Philippines.
Established in 2014 and led by a team with architectural roots, HBA Manila is renowned for its concept-driven approach, where artistic vision meets technical precision. From expansive luxury resorts and branded residences to immersive food and beverage concepts and art-led environments, its portfolio reflects a growing influence across the Philippine archipelago, shaping spaces that are expressive, relevant, and built to endure.
In honour of this milestone, the region’s most influential developers, hoteliers, and designers gathered for a evening of networking at Grand Hyatt Manila. Gerard Lee, Partner at Light Directions, and Joe Lau, Design Principal at HBA Architecture, joined Norman Agleron, Partner at HBA Manila, to share their insights on the latest market trends, design innovations, and investment opportunities across hospitality and real estate in Southeast Asia.
