A new 52-story landmark marked a defining moment along the historic streets of Binondo on December 6, 2025 as Keen & Worth Property Developers, Inc. celebrated the topping off of its first and flagship project, the Ongpin Tower. The last beam was installed and signed at the rooftop, a major milestone for the residential development, which is firmly on track for its planned completion and turnover in the second quarter of 2027.
“Today marks an important milestone not just for Keen & Worth Property Developers but also for the City of Manila,” said Kevin Wong, President of Keen & Worth Property Developers. “This milestone reflects what can be achieved when the government and private sector work hand-in-hand to build developments that truly matter.”
“This moment signals the steady progress of a project designed to uplift the community and contribute to the city’s continued growth. This development is more than a building. It is a new chapter in redefining Chinatown living,” he added.
Iconic address
Ongpin Tower has reached its full structural height, now standing mightily as an emblem of progress, optimism, and enduring value in the oldest Chinatown in the world. To begin with, the new high-rise condominium is in an iconic address—within a rare tri-corner along the streets of Ongpin, Gonzalo Puyat, and F. Torres streets.
The prime address blends real estate potential with historical significance. Future residents can rave about the location as it is very accessible to schools, Churches and places of worship, medical centers, shopping malls, unique restaurants and food stalls, and many more.
“As a Manileño and as the father of the City of Manila, I am really proud of the Ongpin Tower. This is the best, [most] luxurious, and premium condo living in the heart of Chinatown. The location is very good along with the quality and design. The low-density community is ideal for growing families,” said Manila Mayor Francisco ‘Isko Moreno’ Domagoso during the topping off ceremony.
The mayor also noted that the site used to be an underperforming property in the area. “We are proud because we can now say we also have a premium residential condo in Binondo. Ongpin Tower raises the bar in terms of condo living in Manila. Other developers will be challenged to do better,” Mayor Isko emphasized.
Redefining Chinatown living
Aside from transforming the Binondo skyline, Ongpin Tower is designed to redefine Chinatown living. Its commanding presence reflects a seamless balance of modern luxury and deep respect to the cultural heritage, resonating strongly with buyers, investors, and stakeholders in the community.
Keen & Worth Property Developers reiterates that the Ongpin Tower is designed and built with purpose. Timeless design meets modern functionality as each of the 226 residential units will be appointed with high-quality fixtures, including Daikin VRF air-conditioning system, Electrolux rangehood and cooktop, American Standard fixtures, Panasonic water heater, and Quartz countertops, soft-hinge cabinetry, and premium tiles.
“We want to uplift the full community here,” said Kimbery Wong, Chief Operating Officer of Keen & Worth Property Developers. “Ongpin Tower is creating an exclusive atmosphere amid the vibrant heart of Binondo. The project features a low-density layout, with floors comprising 2, 4, or 7 units.”
She also disclosed that to deliver a curated lifestyle for families, Ongpin Tower will have nearly 2,000 square-meters of amenities, including a Sky Garden at the 52nd floor and more recreational facilities in the 13th floor (lap pool, kiddie pool, gym, basketball court, and play areas), function rooms and spaces for community events, a helipad, and an electric-vehicle (EV)-ready parking for future-forward convenience.

In terms of safety engineering, Ongpin Tower has a 73-meter-deep foundation, translating to 38 percent of the tall building’s overall height and to 22 floors of uncompromised structural strength. Thus, Keen & Worth Developers assures enduring stability and peace of mind in a home that is designed to last.
Ongpin Tower is designed for families and individuals who value strategic location, legacy, and long-term investment. While it honors the prestige and history of Binondo, it also embraces the aspirations of the future.
