MANILA, Philippines–December 6, 2025, Keen and Worth Property Developers Inc. (KWPDI) marked a significant milestone for its flagship development, Ongpin Tower, through a successful topping off ceremony held along Ongpin Street in Binondo. The event gathered leaders from government, real estate, brokerage and investment communities, reflecting the strong confidence and support behind this transformative residential project.
The morning program was hosted by Valerie Tan, who welcomed guests and opened the ceremony with an engaging introduction. Kevin Wong, President of KWPDI, delivered an address that highlighted the importance of Ongpin Tower as a future landmark that blends cultural heritage with modern residential living. Among the distinguished guests was Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko” Moreno Domagoso, who praised the project for its contribution to the revitalization of the city.
“I think this is the best, luxurious, premium condo living in the heart of Chinatown, Ongpin,” Mayor Isko stated during the skyline completion ceremony. He noted that the area was once considered an underperforming part of Manila, and expressed optimism that renewed investor trust will pave the way for more successful developments within the city.
Mayor Isko also encouraged KWPDI to continue redeveloping older and underutilized properties in Manila.
He reassured the company that the city government fully supports responsible development and values the contribution of private investors.
The ceremony featured a symbolic sand pouring followed by the signing of the final beam, an activity participated in by Mayor Isko, KWPDI executives and honored guests.
In the afternoon session, hosted by Louie Ngo, the General Manager of KWPDI welcomed attendees and expressed appreciation for their support. The developer presented the key highlights of Ongpin Tower, situated on a rare tri-corner lot along Ongpin Street, Gonzalo Puyat Street and F. Torres Street at the center of the world’s oldest Chinatown. The development features a low density layout that enhances privacy, along with modern sustainability features such as electric vehicle ready parking. Its amenities include a sky garden, infinity pool, gym and various activity spaces designed for families and residents seeking elevated urban living.
Guests were also introduced to an exclusive flexible payment program. The developer emphasized the long term investment value of owning a residence in Binondo, driven by its cultural significance, strategic location and strengthening demand.
To close the event, a raffle draw brought excitement to the celebration with prizes such as an Electrolux air fryer and the grand prize of a brand new BYD Sealion 6.
With the topping off milestone completed, Ongpin Tower continues to advance according to schedule. Defined by culture, accessibility and consistent construction progress, the development is positioned to become a future residential focal point in Chinatown as it moves toward its next phase.
