The Filinvest Land story

As the real estate firm subsidiary of Filinvest Development Corporation (FDC), Filinivest Land traces its roots to 1955, when FDC was established by Andrew L. Gotianun, Sr. and his family. The corporation started out as a used-car financing company and evolved into one of the Philippines' leading conglomerates with businesses in banking and financial services, power generation, real estate, banking, hotel and resort management, and the sugar industry. 

In 1967, FDC entered the real estate business with a slew of real estate developments including shopping centres, residential subdivisions, central business districts, recreational farms, leisure clubs, industrial estates, mid-rise and high-rise offices and condominiums, and information technology zones.

Today, Filinvest Land has 175 ongoing developments around eight key areas in the Philippines. As of 2018, rental businesses account for 46% of the company's total net income. The firm ended the year with a net income of Php 6.08 billion, 4% higher than 2017 and buoyed by rental businesses. Filinvest Land posted consistently growing revenues from 2014 to 2018.
