Ortigas Condo ROI Ranking
CONDO MAKATI Research
Investment Analytics Team
The most data-driven Ortigas condo ROI ranking available. We calculate gross yield, net yield, capital appreciation, and total return for every major Ortigas development.
How We Calculate Ortigas Condo ROI
Our Ortigas ROI Ranking uses a Total Return framework:
Total Return = Net Rental Yield + Capital Appreciation Rate
Net Rental Yield = (Annual Gross Rent - Association Dues - Property Tax - Management Fees - Vacancy Allowance) / Purchase Price
Capital Appreciation Rate = 3-Year Average Annual Price Growth
All data is sourced from CONDO MAKATI's proprietary transaction database and broker network reports (Q1 2026).

ROI Killers: What Destroys Ortigas Investment Returns
1. High Vacancy: Ortigas vacancy rates (4-6%) are higher than BGC (2-3%). Always factor in a realistic vacancy allowance when calculating net yield.
2. Poor Location Within Ortigas: Not all Ortigas locations are equal. Units far from MRT stations or major malls can experience significantly higher vacancy and lower rents.
3. Overleveraging: Ortigas' lower entry prices tempt investors to over-leverage. Always calculate your leveraged return carefully.
4. Ignoring Association Dues: Ortigas buildings charge ₱120-180/sqm in monthly dues. Factor this into your net yield calculation.
5. Accepting Below-Market Rents: Ortigas' BPO tenant base is price-sensitive. Price competitively but don't accept below-market rents to avoid short-term vacancy.
