Historical Context

Filinvest was founded in 1967 by Andrew L. Gotianun Sr. and Mercedes T. Gotianun as a consumer finance business that transitioned into real estate in the 1970s. The company launched Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI) to focus on residential housing. In 1995, it secured the rights to develop the Alabang stock farm, transforming it into Filinvest City, a major southern CBD competitor to Makati. The company expanded into retail malls and BPO office spaces. (Wikipedia) (Source)

Challenges and Controversies

Slower Mid-Market Demand

The mass-market and mid-market residential segments are highly sensitive to interest rate hikes and inflation.

LRA Title Delays

Processing land titles and subdivision segregations at regional registries can cause project delay notices to buyers.
