Building great places for life

Posted in: Philippines Report 2018 Started by Franz Fricke

Ortigas and Co. is one of the Philippines’ most respected real-estate developers. Having partnered with two key players in Manila’s thriving real-estate industry, Ayala Land and SM Prime Holdings, the company is laying the foundations for growth in 2018.

Responsible for driving Ortigas and Co. into a new-era of growth is President and CEO Jaime Ysmael.

“Our goal is to tap into the synergies that can bring our three corporate cultures together to maximize the opportunities we see in the market,” explains Ysmael.

Ortigas and Co has allocated P180 billion to develop five key locations: Greenhills, CirculoVerde, Capitol Commons, Ortigas East, and Ortigas Central Business District. High-end condominiums, state-of-the-art leisure facilities and integrated commercial/office space will enable Ortigas and Co. to meet the needs of the discerning buyer.

“We are looking to capitalize on the trends we see within the property sector to maximize the values of our high-end properties within Metro Manila”, says Ysmael. “With the current administration’s focus on infrastructure development and new mass-transit solutions, the National Capital Region will see congestion reduced and commuter’s lives made easier. We intend to play a role in this urban revitalization”.

With Manila’s residential market remaining strong, Ortigas and Co. is looking to grow while remaining a niche player in the industry.

“Our relationships with our customers and key stakeholders are at the heart of what we want to accomplish”, says Ysmael. “We will engage our customers and appeal to their emotions through our product and service offerings, while adhering to our commitment towards excellence and innovation. We are redefining our corporate culture through clear measurable deliverables aligned with our business objectives and corporate values, merit-based incentives,competency-based training and development, and increased accountability to enable us to execute well on our plans and deliver on our promise”.

With Japanese investment in Metro Manila’s mass-transit network set to include stations in Ortigas Center and Capitol Commons, Ortigas and Co. is well positioned to work with Japanese partners and play a role in strengthening the Philippines-Japan relationship.
