Philippines-based engineering and construction firm EEI has secured ₱1.6 billion (€22.85 million) worth of real estate construction projects in the first two months of 2026, according to Philippine Daily Inquirer. 

The contracts signal a strong start for the Yuchengco family-backed company.

The newly awarded projects bring EEI closer to its 2026 order book targets whilst strengthening the firm's footprint in high-growth residential and hospitality segments. The contracts underscore continued demand for residential and hospitality developments outside Metro Manila, as developers pursue expansion in key regional growth centres.

Henry Antonio, president and chief executive of EEI, said: "This is a positive development to start in 2026. With these residential and hospitality projects, we push our diversified portfolio further to regional markets and expand our capabilities to build sustainable communities throughout the country."

Antonio added: "This will not only fuel the industry with more jobs but will also help our real estate partners build spaces that elevate the lives of people through innovation."

The company was appointed to construct two projects for Torre Lorenzo Development Corp. in Tierra Davao—Crown Residences, a 21-storey residential tower, and Crest Suites, a 21-storey mixed-use project. Crown Residences will feature expansive wellness facilities and 322 residential units, whilst Crest Suites will include 16 floors of condominium-hotel units and three floors of residential condominium units, for a combined 260 units.

EEI said its growing pipeline of projects is expected to support steady financial performance and strengthen partnerships across sectors this year. The construction giant has built its reputation delivering engineering and construction projects across the Philippines, with the latest contracts reinforcing its capabilities in the residential and hospitality development sectors.
