Damosa Land, Inc. (DLI) proudly took home multiple top honors at the 14th PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, earning national recognition alongside the Philippines’ top developers at Shangri-La The Fort. DLI’s prestigious wins powerfully affirm its commitment to excellence and lasting impact on the region’s booming economic growth, elevating Mindanao’s real estate landscape to new heights.
Standing out in this highly competitive arena, DLI was honored with the coveted Best Boutique Developer award, its second consecutive win and the third since 2020. As the only Mindanao-homegrown property developer this year, the company has earned this distinct recognition as a testament to its craftsmanship, forward-thinking vision, and dedication to pioneering the future of Mindanao's real estate landscape.
DLI’s TRYP by Wyndham Samal, which broke ground earlier in January, secured two premier accolades: Best Investment Condo Development and Best Beachfront Condotel Architectural Design, highlighting the condotel’s strategic location, strong rental yield, capital appreciation, and robust property management services, making it appealing to investors.

In particular, the design accolade spotlights the property’s luxurious coastal design, durable, climate-resilient infrastructure, and efficient hospitality layouts that maximize oceanfront views. Its design draws inspiration from the classic bahay na bato, translating heavy stone bases, warm timber, and sloping rooflines into heritage-inspired modern hospitality structures.
Slated for completion in 2028, the project brings the first global hospitality brand, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, to the Island Garden City of Samal. This signals a strong international confidence in Samal Island’s investment potential as a global tourist destination. With construction of the condotel already underway, the highly anticipated TRYP by Wyndham Samal has successfully sold 70 percent of its units, underscoring strong market demand and appeal to investors.
Beyond the success of TRYP by Wyndham Samal, DLI continues to build momentum through a growing portfolio of developments that are shaping Mindanao's future. More than building individual properties, the developer takes an ecosystem approach to development—bringing together residential, commercial, industrial, hospitality, and community spaces that create opportunities for people and businesses to thrive.

“Our goal has always been to create ecosystems in every project that we build—places where people can live, work, invest, do business, and build their futures,” said DLI President Ricardo Floirendo Lagdameo. “We want the value of our developments to extend beyond their boundaries and benefit not only the communities within them but also the neighboring communities around them. For us, that is what responsible development means: creating places that generate opportunities, strengthen communities, and contribute to the long-term growth of Mindanao.”
These awards come as DLI keeps growing with successful projects like the agritourism township Agriya, the industrial park Anflo Industrial Estate, the mixed-use marina community Bridgeport, the IT facility Damosa IT Park, and the premium residential areas Kahi Estates, Ameria, and Agriya Gardens, all aimed at making the region stronger while encouraging responsible and sustainable development.
By thoughtfully integrating these developments with their surrounding communities, DLI seeks to create places that are not only valuable destinations in their own right but also catalysts for broader economic activity and improved quality of life.
