MANILA – Visionary developer Robbie Antonio says he ignores naysayers in his quest to become the Philippines’ first “unicorn” or $1-billion startup.

Antonio is the CEO of Revolution Precrafted, a pioneer in modular luxury homes.

“If I decided believing all the naysayers, I would not be doing what I’m doing,” Antonio tells ANC’s “The Boss.”

The 40-year-old entrepreneur with slicked back hair says a boss should be “extremely ambitious.”

“Most successful visionaries in my mind were relatively eccentric, extremely lofty in their ambitions and very steadfast in their goal of achieving it,” said Antonio.

“You could multi-task and do a hundred tasks with specific goals.
You have to have razor sharp focus. And I believe in that,” he added.

Catch The Boss on ANC at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, with replays at 11:30 p.m.; Fridays at 3:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.; Saturdays at 4:30 a.m. and 10 a.m.; Sundays at 4:30 a.m. and Mondays at 9:30 a.m.

Robbie Antonio’s Designer Pre-fab Homes A Big Hit

by The Good News Pilipinas Team

Trump Tower Manila developer Robbie Antonio is collaborating with 48 of the world’s leading architects and designers to bring limited edition designer pre-crafted properties to Manila.

Antonio, CEO of Revolution Precrafted, is pioneering the pre-crafted home concept to simplify the process of owning a dream home by a dream designer by allowing anyone to hand-pick a design by world-renowned architects, artists, and designers – including Tom Dixon, Sou Fujimoto, Fernando Romero, David Salle and celebrities such as Daphne Guiness and Lenny Kravitz – and have it transported right on the owner’s doorstep.

The real estate developer, who himself owns a mansion in Manila designed by Rem Koolhaas, is creating designer homes and pavilions that are made to order and shipped in a span of 3 months.

The Revolution pre-crafted home features all essential space functions with complete provisions for utilities.

No two homes or pavilions are alike with the real estate developer giving a free hand to his designers.The Century Properties CEO initially instructed designers to create structures from 50 to 250 square meters with components that could fit in a shipping container, allowing the pre-crafted home or pavilion to be shipped to anywhere in the world.

The pre-crafted designs are also flexible, with structures that can be dismantled and moved from location to location.

The NorthWestern University and Stanford University graduate who has launched Manila projects such as the Trump Tower Manila and Paris Hilton’s Paris Beach Club at Azure Urban Resort Residences, also partnered with Versace for The Milano Residences and the first residential development of MissionIHome.

MANILA – Startup real estate company Revolution Precrafted has tapped Hollywood celebrity Kate Upton as it makes a pitch to international investors.

Upton, who gained fame after gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition, accompanied Revolution Precrafted CEO Robbie Antonio in Tokyo to woo Japanese investors. 

The real estate firm is seeking investor support for its project in Southern Luzon which it called “world’s first livable art park.”

The company, which builds prefabricated houses done by international designers, secured a $1.1-billion joint venture agreement with Indonesia’s Bakrie Global Ventura in April on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit. 

Antonio helped seal a venture a few years ago with Hollywood socialite Paris Hilton for his family’s Century Properties group. 

He was featured on ANC’s The Boss, where he related his intention of turning Revolution Precrafted into the Philippines’ first “unicorn” or billion dollar startup.
