Haus Talk Inc. has raised P1.8 billion from its fixed-rate peso retail bond offering, surpassing its original base offer of P1 billion as investor demand prompted the company to upsize the deal.

The affordable housing developer marked the milestone with the listing and start of trading of its bonds on the Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corp. on March 16, 2026, signaling fresh market support for its expansion plans in Luzon.

Why it matters

The successful issuance gives Haus Talk added funding flexibility at a time when listed property developers are seeking capital to expand projects while managing borrowing costs. It also shows continued investor appetite for fixed-income instruments tied to the affordable housing segment.

The company priced its three-year bonds at 7.0896 percent and its five-year bonds at 7.5924 percent.

By the numbers

The P1.8-billion raise came in well above the original base size, underscoring demand from retail investors. The bonds add another capital markets transaction for Haus Talk following its 2022 listing on the Philippine Stock Exchange’s SME Board.

PDEx hosted a bell-ringing ceremony attended by representatives from Haus Talk, PDEx, and partner institutions to mark the listing.

What they’re saying

PDEx president Stephanie Marie Zulueta said in a press statement on March 19, 2026, that the issuance reflects Haus Talk’s deeper participation in the local capital markets after its stock market debut in 2022.

She said the proceeds will support land banking activities and project development as it continues to deliver affordable housing solutions for Filipino families.

Haus Talk chair Terence Madlambayan said, “the strong response to the bond offering reflects investor confidence in the company’s vision and disciplined approach to growth.”

What’s next

Haus Talk said proceeds from the bond sale will be used to support its expansion across Luzon, including land banking initiatives, project development, and other general corporate requirements.

The bigger picture is that the company is using the bond market to widen its funding base while scaling its portfolio of residential communities aimed at Filipino homebuyers in the affordable segment. —Vanessa Hidalgo | Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
