Revenues from property development businesses grew 22 percent to P112.9 billion, driven by higher residential and estate lot bookings. Residential revenues accelerated by 23 percent to P94.9 billion on higher bookings across all brands. Meanwhile, revenues from commercial and industrial lots jumped by 34 percent to P14.6 billion lifted by demand for lots outside Metro Manila. Moreover, office-for-sale contributed P3.5 billion mainly from project bookings.
Leasing and hospitality revenues reached P45.6 billion, 9 percent higher than in 2023, driven by healthy operations of existing assets combined with the contribution of new assets namely, One Ayala Mall and BPO towers, Ayala Triangle Gardens Tower Two, and Seda Manila Bay.
