MANILA, Philippines — Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI), the listed property firm of the Gotianun Group, plans to launch P9.3 billion worth of projects this year as the company continues to beef up its diversified portfolio.

FLI is focusing on sustained and disciplined growth that is anchored on operational excellence and long-term estate development.

“We will continue investing in projects that address real demand and contribute meaningfully to national and regional progress,” FLI president and CEO Tristan Las Marias said.

Aside from its project launches, FLI also intends to focus on selling ready-for-occupancy (RFO) inventory this year.

Last year, FLI said elevated borrowing costs required homebuyers to be more selective, but demand stayed resilient in the affordable and mid-income segments, particularly for RFO units in regional growth areas.

“FLI responded by focusing on RFO turnover, accelerating horizontal development and maintaining pragmatic financing structures aligned with buyer preferences — approaches it will continue to expand in 2026 as the residential market gradually stabilizes,” the company said.

“Asset enhancement initiatives, improved tenant diversification and a disciplined approach to estate management helped underpin consistent performance. These strategies will remain central as FLI deepens its recurring income base and reinforces estate vibrancy moving into 2026,” it said.

FLI projects are geographically diversified and can be found in 22 provinces across the country.

The company also focuses on projects that have short construction periods to minimize construction risks.

In terms of real property trading business segment, FLI said its business strategy has placed emphasis on the development and sale of residential lots and housing units mainly to lower and middle-income markets which accounts for approximately 50 percent of total demand throughout the country as its core.

This business segment includes landed housing, medium-rise buildings and high-rise condominium projects, residential farm estates, entrepreneurial communities and leisure developments in response to the demands of the Philippine market.

As far as the leasing business is concerned, the company said it will also focus on leasing out its industrial park in New Clark City.

For 2026, FLI intends to continue positioning its office offerings around flexibility, cost efficiency and operational quality — attributes which it said are increasingly prioritized by occupiers refining their long-term space strategies.

Meanwhile, with demand for logistics and production facilities continuing to expand, the company plans to further activate its industrial platform in 2026 through additional ready-built formats, improved locator services and deeper development within strategic regional corridors.

FLI said it is well-positioned to manage near-term challenges while pursuing steady and value-accretive growth with sound capitalization, an expanding portfolio of integrated estates and a disciplined approach to capital deployment.

The company will also be tapping the bond market anew, with a planned issuance of up to P11.57 billion in fixed-rate bonds with maturities of up to 10 years.

The issuance serves as the third tranche of its P35-billion shelf registration program with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

FLI will use proceeds from the issuance to refinance existing debt and support capital expenditures for priority projects across its business segments.
