Management’s view

“This strong start to the year is a reflection of our clear strategy and the strength of our diversified portfolio. All of our core businesses - residential, office, malls, and hotels - grew during the first quarter,” said Lourdes Gutierrez-Alfonso, president of Megaworld. 

“More than half of our township developments are in the provinces, and the opportunity for expansion and growth is there,” she added.

Megaworld now operates 35 townships with a land bank of 7,000 hectares, aiming to hit 3 million square meters in leasable space by 2030, as total assets near P500 billion.

“Megaworld remains to be the top contributor to the revenue pie of the Alliance Global Group,” said Kevin L. Tan, president and CEO of parent firm Alliance Global Group.

“This quarter’s results affirm the strength of the company’s township model, which thrives because of the unique connections it fosters between people, businesses, and experiences,” he added.
