Filipino real estate broker Aquino Plotado has secured an exclusive AED 1-billion (approximately PHP 15 billion) beachfront development project in Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, in strategic collaboration with Francesco Ferretti, Managing Director of fäm Properties as an Exclusive Project with fäm Properties.
The landmark project—located near the site of what will be the UAE’s first-ever casino—marks a significant milestone in Plotado’s growing career as a real estate professional and entrepreneur in the region. This exclusive tie-up with fäm Properties, Plotado’s former firm, highlights a powerful blend of business acumen, loyalty, and long-term vision.
Now an independent agent based in Ras Al Khaimah, Plotado has become a well-respected expert in the Northern Emirates’ real estate market. His track record includes the sale of an AED 17-million penthouse in the prestigious Danah Bay development by Dubai Investments, as well as multiple apartment units on Marjan Island and land sales in Umm Al Quwain.
“Securing this project exclusively with fäm Properties and Francesco Ferretti is not just a business achievement—it’s the result of strong professional relationships and deep local market knowledge,” Plotado said.
“Focusing on Ras Al Khaimah was one of the smartest decisions I’ve made. It allowed me to build trust, gain unique insights, and deliver high-value solutions to my clients.”
Beyond his real estate achievements, Plotado is also making a name for himself in the creative and philanthropic arenas. His short film As The Call, So The Echo was a finalist at the 11th Emirates Film Festival, winning Best Actor (Enzo Pineda) and Best Director (Rusty Palacio Guarin), with additional nominations for Best Film and Best Child Actor (Prince España).
Demonstrating his deep connection to his roots, Plotado recently donated PHP 1 million to Potrero National High School in Malabon City, his alma mater, through the Aquino Plotado Philanthropy Foundation. His contributions included nine printers, a sound system, and cash gifts to 28 teachers and over 100 former classmates.
With a blend of professional excellence, creative passion, and a commitment to giving back, Aquino Plotado is emerging as a standout figure in the UAE’s real estate scene—redefining what it means to be a global Filipino success story.
