2021 in Review: Recovery of the Residential Business

On our second year of the pandemic, your company has put in place a dynamic business model that enabled it to operate efficiently.

In 2021, we saw an improvement in the residential business. Residential revenues increased 14.6% to P11.27 billion, while reservation sales rose 5% to P16.04 billion after 2 years of decline. We believe that this signals the recovery of the residential business as buyers are more confident of a better economy and business environment.

Our homebuyers are attracted to our developments which are built to be sustainable communities. We ensure that our residential developments are environment-friendly, safe and have the residents’ well-being in mind. Our residential revenues increased due to the easing of construction restrictions that resulted to higher progress and completion of projects. We are hopeful that the trajectory of growth for the residential business will continue beyond 2022.

Continued concessions in support of our mall tenants coupled with the full year impact of 2020 pre-terminations of POGO office tenants outside of the Filinvest REIT (FILRT) portfolio caused a 26% decline in rental revenues. We believe that this would be the trough of the rental business cycle.

2021 is also the year that the CREATE bill was implemented, which provided among other things, the reduction of income tax rate to 25% from 30%. The foregoing resulted to a Net income attributable to equity holders of P3.80 billion which increased 2%, a respectable performance despite the challenges.

In 2021, FILRT became part of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Philippines Small Cap Index and FLI followed in 2022 to be part of the PSE MidCap Index.

"FLI has successfully launched residential projects that are modelled as sustainable communities characterized by large and green open spaces.”

Dreams Built Green

True to our reason for being, that is Building the Filipino Dream, FLI has successfully launched residential projects that are modelled as sustainable communities characterized by large and green open spaces. We design homes with energy efficiency in mind as we ensure ventilation and natural light. Our focus on affordable and middle-income segments makes our developments inclusive as we offer affordable and value-for-money quality homes.

We have a diversified residential portfolio – both geographically and product wise that makes our homes appealing to a wide market. Our emphasis on landed housing worked to our advantage as homeowners shifted to this in the light of the pandemic. Having a faster cashflow turnaround and being less prone to construction risk also make landed housing more affordable.

Transforming into an Investment Management Company

The year 2021 marked an important milestone for FLI. On August 12, 2021, the Filinvest REIT Corp. (FILRT) was listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange, as the third REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) in the country. FLI sold 36.7% of its ownership in FILRT (formerly Cyberzone Properties Inc.) to the public. This marks the transition of FLI from a development focused company into an investment management company.

FILRT’s successful IPO (Initial Public Offering) generated net proceeds of P12.26 billion. FILRT is composed of seventeen (17) buildings mostly located in Northgate Cyberzone, a PEZA-accredited IT park in Filinvest City, Alabang, Muntinlupa. FILRT is the first sustainability focused REIT. These buildings have the unique advantage of being located within Filinvest City, the first LEED-certified CBD in the Philippines and the largest in Southeast Asia that has attained LEED Gold in Sustainable Neighborhood Development. Substantially all of this office portfolio is serviced by the country’s first and largest district cooling plant with a 12,000 ton capacity. Built in 2017, the district cooling system protects the environment by cutting carbon dioxide emission through lower energy consumption, making it a key component of sustainable development.

We look at this IPO as an opportunity to accelerate growth as your company reinvests the proceeds in investment property and residential developments across the country.

The REIT issuance also provided the opportunity to recognize the real value of our office assets. The initial portfolio is valued at P48 billion by a third-party property appraiser while the book value of such assets was P10 billion at the time of appraisal.

In 2021, FILRT generated P3.44 billion in revenues and P1.85 billion in net income. FILRT has distributed three quarterly cash dividends to date totaling P0.336 per share. This is equivalent to an annualized dividend yield of 6.4 percent based on its initial public offering (IPO) price of P7.00 per share. This is higher than benchmark rates and better than the 6.3 percent dividend yield it projected for 2021 in its REIT Plan. To date, FLI has received P1.09 billion in dividends from FILRT.

Including FILRT assets, FLI and its subsidiaries operate 36 office and retail developments with over 780,000 square meters of Gross Leasable Area (GLA). Our investment properties also include warehouse and land lease spaces for the logistic and e-commerce players and co-living accommodations. Your company targets to reach 2.1 million square meters GLA by 2026 of investment properties. Your company’s presence in three major BPO Hubs – Metro Manila/Alabang, Clark and Cebu and its extensive land bank allows it to produce 5.3 million square meters of GLA. Our vast inventory of investment properties are potential infusions to grow FILRT, which will provide opportunities for FLI to further recycle its capital.

"Our vast inventory of investment properties are potential infusions to grow FILRT, which will provide opportunities for FLI to further recycle its capital."

Managing the Pandemic

We continued to manage our cash flow conservatively by launching a modest number of projects during the year as we continuously evaluated inventory absorption and potential cancellations due to pandemic job impact. We have, however, a pipeline of P30 Billion that are ready for launch once market demand dictates.

Leverage was down from a net debt to equity (DE) ratio to 0.66 to 1 and gross DE ratio of 0.76 to 1 from 2020 levels of 0.85 to 1 and 0.94 to 1 respectively.

FLI also raised P10 billion through the issuance of 4- and 6- year peso fixed-rate bonds in December 2021. The bonds, which attained the highest PRS Aaa rating from the Philippines Rating Services Corporation (PhilRatings), was four times oversubscribed. We are grateful for the trust of the investor market in Filinvest Land. This was instrumental to our successful fundraising activities in the past year. These funds will accelerate the implementation of our expansion plans and continue building the Filipino dream.

The interdepartmental synergy teams we formed right before the first lockdown formulated solutions, process improvements and digitalization of key data that helped us navigate through the two years of the pandemic. Our digitalization efforts bore fruit as we were able to continue our sales efforts and capture the increasing demand for sustainable homes. Our customer management system ensures that transactions are processed in a timely manner.

Prospects for 2022

In the last quarter of 2021, during the aftermath of the disruptive Delta Variant, we saw a glimpse of an opening economy amidst a widely vaccinated Greater Metro Manila population. The year 2022 opened with an extreme surge but short Omicron assault which caused a pause to the economy but it quickly resumed its upward momentum. GDP grew by 7.8% in the last quarter and is projected to grow by 7-9% in 2022. As we anticipate the reopening of the economy, our balanced portfolio of residential inventory and investment properties will be ready to meet the demands of the market.

As we look forward to the new normal and a brighter future, we are confident that a renewed business environment will enable us to serve more homebuyers, office and mall tenants. We are excited about our new businesses, the industrial parks and co-living accommodations.

Allow me to thank you again, our home buyers, office and retail tenants, for your continued trust. Be assured that we are committed to serving you in the best way possible.

I would also like to express my appreciation to our different stakeholders: our business partners, creditors, and shareholders for your continued support in our commitment to customer excellence.

To my management team and the Filinvest family, you have been my greatest partners in this journey with your dedication, loyalty, sacrifices and hard work, my sincerest gratitude. Together we will continue to build the Filipino dream.

Finally, to our Board of Directors, we thank you for your steadfast guidance and wisdom.

"As we look forward to the new normal and a brighter future, we are confident that a renewed business environment will enable us to serve more homebuyers, office and mall tenants."

2021: On the Way to Recovery

In 2021, on our second year of the pandemic, the business environment remained challenging but we remained steadfast as we ensured continued business operations and prepared for recovery. With the company's Business Continuity Plan in place, FLI was able to implement processes on health and safety, cash flow management, customer management, construction protocols and supplier payments. Your company became a digital entity as it maximized its digital resources and ensured efficient operations.

We are hopeful that signs of recovery will be sustained. The Philippine economy grew 5.7% signaling a recovery from the effects of the COVID19 pandemic. Likewise, OFW remittances improved by 5.1% reaching USD34.88 billion which reflected on our reservation sales. Our sales from OFWs grew 7% in 2021 accounting for 22% of our total reservation sales. Fortunately, interest rates remained stable as a result of the government’s accommodative monetary policy which still made housing affordable. All these contributed to the modest growth of reservation sales in 2021. OFW remittances and interest rates are also drivers of consumption spending which we expect to improve, and consequently our retail mall business. We are optimistic that the trend for OFW remittances and interest rates will continue in 2022 and the succeeding years.

Our focus on the affordable and middle income markets, the end-user and underserved markets helped us generate sales in the 2021. We expect this to continue in 2022 and the succeeding years. We have faith that the affordable and middle income residential sales business will continue to be strong and will drive the company’s profitability.

Recently signed into law is RA11595 Amendment of The Retail Liberalization Act which aims to ease the entry requirements by foreign retail companies into the Philippines and at the same time encouraging these companies to sell Philippine-made products. This will bode well for our retail mall business as we expect more foreign retailers to invest in the Philippines.

The BPO sector continues to be a major driver of the office leasing business. We have faith that the Philippines will continue to be the preferred location of multinational BPOs with our highly educated manpower pool and relatively lower labor costs. The sector is expected to grow by 7-8% in the next two years. With the directive by the Fiscal Incentive Review Board (FIRB) under the Philippine Department of Finance for BPO employees to return to site (from work from home arrangements), we expect the office leasing business to continue to grow in 2022.

"With the company’s Business Continuity Plan in place, your company became a digital entity as it maximized its digital resources and ensured efficient operations.”

"We also ensure inclusivity as we provide homes to all customer income groups including the socialized and affordable income segments."

Towards Sustainable Communities

Last year, we started preparing our 2030 Sustainability Road Map. Based on the UN Sustainable Goal “ Making Cities and Human Settlements Inclusive, Safe, Resilient and Sustainable”, our priority is to be able to ensure the right environment for homes keeping in mind the future generations. We strive to understand the needs of our residents as we design and build high quality and sustainable homes. During the pandemic, we have seen homebuyers search for their ideal homes in safe and sustainable environments amidst nature and open spaces. We also ensure inclusivity as we provide homes to all customer income groups including the socialized and affordable income segments.

Recognition

We are proud to be recognized by BCI Asia as one of the Top 10 Developers in the country while Dot Property hailed the company as the Best Developer in North Luzon and Mindanao. Josephine Gotianun Yap, President and CEO of Filinvest Land, was Asia CEO’s Global Executive of the Year Circle of Excellence awardee.

Maximizing Shareholder Value

We are committed to maximizing shareholder value. Despite the uncertainties during the year, the company declared dividends equivalent to 20% of 2020 income or a total of P747 million, in line with our dividend policy. This is equivalent to a dividend yield of 3%, a modest rate given the uncertainties.

On March 28, 2022, FLI shares were included in the newly launched PSE MidCap Index. We view this as a positive development as FLI shares will become more visible to potential investors.

Appreciation

On behalf of our Board of Directors, I would like to express my appreciation to all of you, our shareholders, creditors, business partners, employees and customers for your continued support and faith in us.

2021 in Review

We are pleased to report that our residential business performed well in 2021 despite the continuing challenges brought by the pandemic. Revenues from the residential business increased by 15% to P11 billion due to construction progress and higher reservation sales.

Reservation sales grew by 5% to P16 billion, driven by OFW sales which rose 7% and accounted for 22% of total sales, as more countries opened and OFW deployment improved. We believe that the improvement in OFW sales signals the recovery, and hopefully, return of the large OFW market, which is a critical driver in real estate sales.

We have a diverse product portfolio, and our balanced offering provided our buyers an answer to their shift in living preferences brought about by the pandemic. We noticed a considerable increase in House and Lot sales, accounting for 53% of our residential reservation sales. This evidence confirms a new buyer preference for lower-density developments that offer broader and more open space.

Our residential business is as much present in Visayas, Mindanao, and the rest of Luzon as we are in Metro Manila. And our geographic diversification allowed us to generate consistent sales and revenues as more regional cities outside Metro Manila recovered and opened earlier. Our residential projects in Non-Metro Manila accounted for 66% of total sales, while Metro Manila or NCR projects contributed 34% of our 2021 sales.

Aside from Metro Manila, Laguna, Cavite, Rizal, Davao and Cebu which are likely business locations of major real estate developments, we are also present in Koronadal and General Santos City in South Cotabato, Zamboanga City, Samal Island in Davao Del Norte, Talisay City and Dumaguete City in Negros, Dagupan City in Pangasinan, and Puerto Princesa in Palawan. At the end of 2021, our residential business was present in 22 provinces and 55 towns and cities.

FLI has exhibited solid sales and revenue performances for Housing and Medium-rise Buildings or MRB condos. To this end, FLI will remain focused on further strengthening this core, particularly housing and MRB condo units targeting the affordable and middle-income segments of the market.

We launched Claremont Phase 5, an expansion subdivision of our 20-hectare Claremont project, helping the hardworking Filipino attain his dream of owning a home in Mabalacat, Pampanga. We also opened additional condo buildings in our Futura Centro project in Sta. Mesa, Manila, Alta Spatial in Valenzuela City, and launched our first condo building in Futura One at Fora Dagupan, our first estate development in North Luzon.

Futura One is Dagupan’s first master-planned condo community within the dynamic business hub of Fora Dagupan. It offers mid-rise buildings with internet-ready condo units, green open spaces, relaxing amenities, and 24/7 security.

The Futura brand targets the affordable market segment while the Aspire brand is for urban professionals and upwardly-mobile families in the middle-income and upper-middle-income market segments.

"We have a diverse product portfolio, and our balanced offering provided our buyers an answer to their shift in living preferences brought about by the pandemic."

We added new mid-rise condo buildings in Panglao Oasis in Taguig City, Asiana Oasis in Paranaque City, both in Metro Manila, and One Oasis Cagayan De Oro in Cagayan De Oro City and Veranda in Samal Island, both in Mindanao.

We are continuously looking for opportunities to launch new projects to protect our market share in areas where we already have a business presence and to respond to unserved demands in emerging growth areas. In 2021, we launched a total of P6.7 billion worth of new housing and condominium projects all over the country.

We are also ready to roll out more new projects in 2022 as we have already prepared complete plans and geared up our product delivery capacity to support further launches in the years ahead. The pandemic years gave us plenty of time to prepare, get our rollouts ready, and allow us to be first out of the gate for moments like now when the economy shows signs of rebound and restoration.

6.7B-new-housing-and-condominium-projects-all-over-the-country.

Cost and product delivery are two key drivers of our residential business model. Our decision early on to build Dreambuilders Pro, Inc., our in-house construction company, has allowed us to compete on these two fronts successfully. It was good foresight, and we now see its benefits. We see most of our projects built by DPI display gross profit margin improvements and allow us to deliver our products with better quality and timing to our customers. DPI is currently constructing eight MRB projects (17 buildings), two HRB projects and has orders for more than 3,000 housing units across the country.

In line with our vertical integration efforts, we also completed our Concrete Batching Plant (CBP) and Pre- fabricated building forms factory in Calamba, Laguna. We will be able to supply our concrete requirements, particularly in Metro Manila, Laguna, and Cavite areas. We expect to bump up the gross profit margins in the projects in these areas due to savings we anticipate from our concrete self-supply model.

We have also accelerated our construction progress with more work shifts as labor supply becomes more available and community mobility restrictions are lifted. We expect to complete more buildings and houses this year compared to previous years as we accelerate orders of construction supplies needed to complement the increased working hours we require on our construction sites.

We knew that as restrictions are lifted, more customers would be eager to check the progress and actual unit they purchased on site. We have also added more customer fulfillment staff and tasked them to reach out to our qualified customers to accelerate the completion of buyers’ unit acceptance and turnover.

We shifted aggressively to digital marketing and online solutions starting in 2020 to adjust to the new normal and saw many of these digital projects completed in 2021. We developed the Online Sellers’ Hub, Buyer Purchase and Payment Portals, and the Customer Helpdesk. We also introduced digital portals like MyHome App, a digital butler for residents of our residential communities, and E-settle, a digital solution to release billing payments to contractors and suppliers online through EastWest Bank.

We updated and uploaded more site drone videos, provided more interactive images of unit interiors, and created digital versions of the views from our lots, condos, and housing units for sale. We continued to shift to digital versions from printed flyers and uploaded all marketing materials to the Online Sellers’ Hub. We made all our sales and marketing materials accessible to our sellers anytime, mobile versions included.

We also continued to task our property management arm, Pro-Excel Property Managers, Inc. (Pro-Excel), to assist our residents in procuring essentials amid the lockdowns and restrictions. To this end, ProExcel has continued to organize small community markets and group deliveries, which provided residents with safer alternatives to buying their essentials. We observed that these particular services resonated with our residents and brought about positive feedback that strengthened our word-of-mouth endorsements.

As the economy continues to open up and restrictions are slowly lifted, your residential business has started to conduct in-person sales and marketing activities to become more responsive to the demand of both sellers and clients requesting more personal and accessible collaborations.

We have also cautiously returned to on-site open houses and in-person closing events. We now hold weekly project exhibits and sales displays in malls where foot traffic has improved tremendously. We do this while we continue to develop more digital marketing materials and distribute them to clients and sellers alike online.

In 2021, we focused on expanding our seller network. We maximized digital platforms for recruitment, including our Online Recruitment Facility, where end-to-end recruitment processes are seamlessly done online. We also ensured that our sellers were well-prepared as we conducted comprehensive training programs for them on sales management, leadership, and customer service excellence.

We created an e-learning platform for sellers to make learning more convenient and efficient. These allowed our residential business to grow its sales versus 2020 and show trends that 2022 will be the year that we can return to the pre-pandemic sales level.

We now focus our attention on sustainability and what we are doing for the environment. COVID-19 sharpened our focus on the environment and further awakened the urgent need to take individual responsibility to save our environment and shift to sustainable solutions in conducting our business.

We in FLI take an owner’s mentality in solving sustainability and saving our environment, which allows us to pursue meaningful solutions to the various problems we have today. Our projects are designed to be energy efficient, tap renewable energy sources, use sustainable building materials, and reduce construction waste. Our MRB, housing, and subdivision projects are low-density developments with broader and bigger open spaces. We even have a vehicular, roadless condo community in our Amalfi Oasis project in Cebu, providing more extensive and safer park spaces for our residents.

We now have detention ponds, rainwater collectors, sewage treatment plants (STP), and water recycling systems that provide an additional water source for irrigation and landscape maintenance.

Actions towards sustainability are not the only the right thing to do moving forward. Given the changing preference of our market towards environmental commitment, taking ownership for a more sustainable future is also the smart thing to do moving forward.

Agility and speed will be the new basis for differentiation. Together with strong communications, we saw a lot of proof of how these combinations have allowed us to respond more effectively to the crisis. Many of our past learnings have been upended, and the need to continually learn has become more evident to allow us to continue to adapt to today’s crisis and prevent the next one.

The past two years have prepared us well. We are optimistic that we will be able to sustain in 2022 the growth trajectory we achieved in 2021 and more. We remain steadfast in providing our buyers with superior and value-for-money homes as we make Dreams Built Green a reality.

My Home App

To further enhance customer excellence within its communities, FLI launched the Property Management app called MyHome. This app serves as a channel for unit owners and residents to connect remotely with the Property Management Office. This initiative follows through on our commitment to migrate to a paperless and contactless environment.

The app is a web-based support system which allows unit owners to log and track their property management-related requests, upload proof of theior payments, view their Statements of Account and community announcements and have a ready reference on the House Rules. MyHome is not yet available for download from Playstore and Appstore, but may be accessed through any web browser.

MyHome evolved into 3 different personas to represent the 3 Filinvest brands, namely Alfred eButler for Filigree and Prestige, Pocket Fred for Aspire, and Pocket Flor for Futura. The available modules in the app are:

  1. Service Requests – wherein users may request for the following services:
    • Work Permits
    • Job Orders
    • Car Park Sticker
    • Gate Pass
    • Move In and Move Out
    • Amenity Reservation
    • Guest Registration
    • Pet Registration(where pets are allowed)
  2. Statement of Account – where the summary of the most recent SOA may be viewed
  3. Proof of Payment – instead of emailing, unit owners may submit the proof of payment via the app
  4. House Rules - for related service requests
  5. Latest News – wherein circulars and latest community news are posted
  6. Submit a Feedback - where they can send their concerns, comments and suggestions
  7. Add User – wherein unit owners can add their tenants, representatives, family member or other authorized occupants of the unit to have access to the app

Dreams Built Green

As the world continued to ride the waves of the pandemic in 2021, people have realized how valuable green spaces are. Now, nature-oriented developments are at the forefront of every real estate developer’s mind.

Even before this increased focus on green developments, Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI) has been creating green communities for more than 50 years. The catchphrase ‘Dreams Built Green’ encapsulates our company’s long-term commitment as we take on the responsibility to lead with sustainable, future- forward principles to ensure healthy and quality living.

FLI’s green-centric thrust is anchored on three main pillars – green, health, and life tech – which translate to a holistic and nurturing lifestyle for the new normal and beyond.

Green

We bring the benefits of nature to our communities with biophilic designs that incorporate green (and blue) into everyday life. Most of our projects have parks, lush greens, and breathtaking vistas that preserve the natural topography like rolling terrain, waterways, and forests. All these serve as a balm for nature-deficit disorder, which many people experienced amid the lockdowns and quarantines.

This is best experienced in projects like Mira Valley and The Peak, hillside developments within the Havila townscape in Rizal. Here, built and natural environments coexist with amenities like viewing decks and meditation gardens. Another verdant sanctuary is Nusa Dua, where the fertile fields are ideal for therapeutic pursuits such as hobby farming.

Health

We also place a premium on physical and mental well-being in our developments. Our resort- themed condo communities such as Panglao Oasis and Maldives Oasis allot 60 to 70 percent to leisure amenities and open spaces where residents can lead an active lifestyle amid low-density environs. They also employ the Venti-lite architectural concept that features sky gardens and air wells for an abundant flow of natural light and ventilation, which impacts energy conservation across all units.

Other developments, such as the Amalfi mid-rise enclave in Cebu, have tree-lined roads, bikeable or walkable pathways, and carless streets where children can play and people can exercise safely.

Life Tech

Convenience and productivity are essential, which became more evident when our lives were disrupted by the pandemic. FLI’s communities in key cities and suburban areas are strategically positioned to provide seamless access to life’s essentials.

From horizontal communities to mid-rise and high-rise condos, we strive to empower residents by creating flexible living spaces primed for fiber internet to support work-from-home and remote- learning setups.

Ease and connectivity are also paramount in our transit-oriented developments. Activa in Quezon City allows its residents to have easy access to EDSA, Aurora Boulevard, MRT-3, and LRT-2, being at the crossroads of the metro’s two major thoroughfares. Other mixed-use developments such as Studio 7 and 100 West also combine living, working, and leisure with practically everything just an elevator ride away.

Focus on sustainability

Dreams Built Green is a lifelong commitment for FLI as we move forward with a development footprint that is earth-friendly and sustainable. In line with this, we also continue to implement other green initiatives as part of our corporate social responsibility.

We were able to decrease our water consumption by 86% from 2019 to 2020 and recycled 70,000 cubic meters of water. Over the same period, FLI also reduced energy consumption by 18% and increased consumption of renewable energy to over 90kWh. We also contributed to cleaner air by reducing direct greenhouse gas emissions by 59%.

Under our annual Keep It Green program, we have planted a total of 51,000 trees since it started in 2010. We have also participated in coastal clean-up activities to help save our bodies of water. We also strive to promote this green campaign across our organization so our employees can apply sustainability practices in the workplace and in their homes.

We will continue to build the Filipino dream with a mindset for sustainability to ensure that future generations can thrive and enjoy the quality of life they deserve.

Creating Sustainable Communities

Havila Township

Havila is a sustainable township development located in the mountainous & natural landscape of the East offering valuable homes to various market segments. Having an elevation of more than 200 meters above sea level, it covers more than 300 hectares nestled across the uplands of Taytay, Antipolo, and Angono, Rizal . It offers breathtaking views of the Metro Manila Skyline, Sunset and Laguna de Bay. Havila is covered with the natural beauty of nature, lush rolling terrain and picturesque scenic views.

Spotlight: Mira Valley

Mira Valley is located in Sitio Colaique, Brgy. San Roque, Antipolo City, within the sprawling Havila Township. Major cities and modern conveniences are easily accessible. It features nature- inspired amenities such as a river park, meditation garden, view deck, gazebo and mini events area. It is also characterized by modern-minimalist homes. Blessed with natural waterways, this is a refreshing community built for the Filipino family.

"The office segment is expected to continue to grow in the long term driven by demand from BPOs specifically from emerging technology such as e-commerce and online payment firms, IT, logistics HO, and healthcare."

Filinvest Land Offices are characterized by well-built and maintained buildings with sustainability features. These are located in key major cities across the country, highly accessible to transportation networks and near residential communities the highly-educated workforce live.

In 2021, FLI sold 36.7% of its ownership in FILRT (formerly CPI) to the public which includes 16 buildings in Northgate Cyberzone and 1 builiding in Cyberzone Cebu. The balance of existing offices and those under construction remain to be 100% owned by FLI.

FLI’s current office portfolio consists of 31 operational office developments, 17 of which are in FILRT. FLI also has 13 office buildings under construction.

For 2022, FLI expects to complete 11 projects located in Northgate Cyberzone Alabang, Clark Mimosa, Quezon City, Makati CBD and Ortigas CBD bringing FLI’s total office portfolio to 743,406 sqm. (including 301,000 sqm. under FILRT). These are the upcoming buildings expected to be operational by the end of 2022:

It is a mixed-use development with several components: Business, Leisure, Living, Hospitality, Retail, Tourism, Tourism, and Wellness to name a few. Filinvest Mimosa+ is truly a destination for everyone as it offers a live-work-play lifestyle Plus a lot more.

An integral part of Filinvest Mimosa+ is WorkPlus- an office campus type setting which is set to provide investors and entrepreneurs a location to grow and expand their business. It will be home to up to twelve midrise office buildings with fiber optic facilities, podium and ground level parking and a retail area at the ground floor amongst others. Tenants and employees will enjoy the serene and green surrounding that Filinvest Mimosa+ uniquely offers for that much-coveted wellness in the workplace.

Two buildings are currently operational while two more buildings, Workpus 4 and Workplus 7, are near full handover, which will bring total GLA in the hub to 45,969 sqm. by the end of 2022. All buildings have retail area on the ground floor and are equipped with advanced fiber optic facilities.

WorkPlus will attract locators not only because of its state-of-the-art features but also because of its refreshing, green campus environment. People working here will be inspired to be productive because of the work-life balance that it offers.

Its proximity to the Clark International Airport makes it an ideal base for workers who need to travel on a regular basis. Surrounded by nature, Workplus offers work-life balance with a vast golf course and other leisure components within Clark Mimosa Plus. It will also be complemented by four towers of The Crib, a residential complex of dormitels which will offer accessible accommodations to people working within Work Plus.

This recognition is a testament of our commitment to transform lives through urban developments that offer all the conveniences and security to our customers.

Lifemalls by Filinvest

Lifemalls by Filinvest, the commercial leasing segment of Filinvest Land, slowly recovers as it continues to find ways to reconnect with its stakeholders to provide a safe and reliable retail experience. By providing a hybrid mall set- up, where physical mall can be seen in the digital space, Lifemalls by Filinvest was able to respond to the evolving retail landscape that the pandemic pushed forward.

Lifemalls provided rent subsidy to its tenants resulting to a stable occupancy level across all malls. To further support tenants and offset the leasing concessions given, temporary pop-up stores were allowed in common areas of the malls that provides flexibility in rates and terms.

Lifemalls by Filinvest sealed partnerships with renowned dining concepts such as Bistro Group and Wildflour. Bistro Group will open four concepts in Festival Mall – the first Las Flores in Southern Metro Manila at the ASVL Heritage Building, TGIFridays, Itallianis, and Watami.

In an effort to stay relevant, the Lifemalls brand was recalibrated to keep up with the evolving retail landscape. After establishing a Lifemall as the center of a Filinvest township development focusing on the place and purpose, the brand now shifts its focus on its communities by connecting through their personal experiences and affinity with the malls. With the unveiling of a refreshed Lifemalls logo, it now strengthens the brand image and highlights the value proposition of Celebrating Everyday Moments at Lifemalls. Together with the implementation of health and safety protocols in accordance with government guidelines, Lifemalls continues to bring back the confidence of the shoppers to the retail area.

Lifemalls capitalized on its natural environment within the mall to provide better and safer dining options through its Alfresco Dining concepts. With more than 40% of the total land area allocated for open spaces, the Outdoor Food Fest at Festival Mall, Alabang and Food Yard at IL Corso, Cebu, helped increased foot traffic and consistent visits especially on weekends.

The MyShopper microsite was also launched in 2021 as a platform for those patrons who are looking for ways to shop with ease and convenience. Over 600 participating Festival Mall tenants are now enrolled in the microsite, allowing Ana, Lifemalls personal shopper, to assist mall patrons with their online shopping. Justpayto, a new payment gateway, alongside Gcash and other mobile bank facilities, helped bridge the gap for a more secure payment process.

As the new normal inspires everyone to be more relevant with the current needs of the community, Lifemalls’ offerings, together with the programs for mall patrons and tenants, help deliver everyday moments that are safe, rewarding and sustainable.


Lifemalls is Filinvest group of malls that offers a wide range of shopping, dining and leisure options for varied lifestyles – from regional shopping centers to community malls. These Lifemalls are Festival Mall in Alabang, Main Square in Bacoor, Fora in Tagaytay and IL Corso in Cebu. In today’s new norm, Lifemalls brings together a redefined lifestyle of safety, comfort and ease to the communities where they are located.

"As the new normal inspires everyone to be more relevant with the current needs of the community, Lifemalls’ offerings, together with the programs for mall patrons and tenants, help deliver everyday moments that are safe, rewarding and sustainable."

Reinventing the Retail Mall

At the close of 2021, we continue to wrestle with the reality of COVID-19’s impact from the global economy. But we have learned that we can rise above by embracing the new shopping behaviors of customers altered by the pandemic. The rise in digital consumers led us to adapt to this new way of shopping through digital platforms, and we anticipate that post-COVID, these consumers shall continue to use these digital services. During this period, quarantine protocols and consumer confidence continue to adversely affect mall operations and foot traffic. Our response to this: To be able serve our customers better, we had to switch to online retailing through the use of online platforms, offer alternative options to dining and conversion of retail spaces to temporary formats and repurposing spaces for storage.

Outdoor is In

With 40% of the total land area allocated for open spaces, the al fresco areas of Festival and Il Corso Malls have created the gold standard for outdoor dining experience in Southern Metro Manila and Cebu.

Brick and Click: MyShopper

To provide shoppers with more options while they stay at home, we have launched the MyShopper microsite to help customers easily shop at their favorite stores. We also sealed a partnership with Justpayto-a payment acceptance gateway facility or the e-commerce component of MyShopper.

New Lease Formats

Pop-up stores and temporary store set-ups offered new shopping options to consumers.

Detailed planning has been completed for the 23-hectare FIP-CDC. Development work is expected to commence by the 2nd quarter of 2022 after the company secures the requisite permits. FLI has also started the process of applying for PEZA registration of the Park.

In July, planning also commenced for the development of RBF units in an area of the existing Filinvest Technology Park originally reserved for the development of a retail commercial strip. The recent plan to develop a larger central commercial zone within the CdC township made possible the re-purposing of this 4.7-hectare, 2-block area into an industrial strip. Ten RBF units similar in design and specifications to the RBFs in FIP-NCC are planned for this area, with an initial batch of four units slated for development starting the 2nd quarter of 2022.

"It is envisioned to be a world class Industrial Park within an accessible, sustainable and future-ready township.”
