MANILA (March 12, 2015) — Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI), one of the country’s largest residential developers and BPO office providers, recorded a 16 percent jump in consolidated net income of P4.6 billion for 2014, up from P3.98 billion in 2013.
Consolidated revenues surged 22 percent to a record P16.9 billion. The company attributes the strong revenues to the continued growth in its residential business, as well as the strong expansion of its office leasing operations.
FLI recorded P13.2 billion in revenues from its residential projects, 26 percent more than the P10.48 billion posted in 2013.
This was driven by strong demand for its wide spectrum of residential product offerings — its Futura Homes affordable housing projects, medium-rise buildings (MRB) that carry the “Oasis” and “Spatial” brands, and its Studio Series high-rise buildings.
The Oasis-branded MRB enclaves in Cebu City include One Oasis Cebu in Kasambagan and the neighboring Amalfi Oasis and Sanremo Oasis at the City di Mare township at SRP.
