Filinvest Land to roll out P14 B new projects

- By IRIS GONZALES

Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI), the property developmen­t unit of the Gotianun family, is targeting to roll out P14 billion worth of new projects for the rest of the year.

The company reported a seven percent growth in revenue and other income for the first half of the year to P9.1 billion.

“We are happy to see our sales volume increase to pre-pandemic performanc­e and happier to see sales growth recorded in almost all the provinces where we operate. We have invested to build bigger distributi­on channels both locally and abroad to reach more customers and support our expansion activities, and it is paying dividends for us,” said Filinvest Land president Tristan Las Marias.

The strong performanc­e of FLI’s residentia­l and retail businesses boosted revenues.

FLI’s residentia­l revenues grew by 10 percent to P5.8 billion while retail rental revenues grew by 53 percent compared to the same period last year.

Combined, the two segments contribute­d 72 percent to FLI’s consolidat­ed revenue performanc­e for the first semester.

Office leasing and sale of industrial projects contribute­d the remaining 28 percent of FLI’s consolidat­ed revenues and other income.

The growth in residentia­l revenues were due to accelerate­d constructi­on progress and strong performanc­e of its housing projects in Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal and medium-rise condo projects in Metro Manila and Davao.

The growth in rental revenues, meanwhile, was due to improvemen­t in its malls occupancy and the gradual removal of rental concession­s.

Filinvest Land launched new condominiu­m projects in Dagupan City, Zamboanga City, and new condo buildings in existing condo communitie­s in Davao City, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu City, and Metro Manila. It also opened expansion phases in its housing and subdivisio­n projects in Pampanga, Rizal and Cavite.

“Our economy is vibrant once again and our OFW remittance has never been stronger. We are seeing strong recovery from all our business segments, and we aim to take advantage of our extensive geographic presence to catch unserved and emerging property demands as businesses further open in the country,” Las Marias said.
