30 BOLD YEARS FOR EMPIRE EAST

Anthony Charlemagne "Charlie" Yu, President and CEO of Empire East Land Holdings, Inc. Under his leadership, Empire East has become a trailblazer in the real estate industry, known for innovative housing solutions and developments. In this interview, Atty. Yu reflects on the key milestones that have defined Empire East’s journey, the core values that drive the company, and how they continue to adapt to the changing needs of homebuyers.

Property Report: Reflecting on Empire East's 30-year journey, what key milestones do you believe have defined the company's growth and success?

Atty. Yu: Empire East’s journey over the past 30 years has been marked by significant milestones that have shaped our growth and success. Since our founding in 1994, we've consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in real estate. One of our early breakthroughs was the development of Laguna BelAir township in Santa Rosa, Laguna. Despite being in our formative years, we aimed to redefine what ideal home living should be, catering not just to the immediate needs of Filipino homebuyers but also to their aspirations for a better quality of life.
