Inside Megaworld’s ₱18 B Profit Surge: The Leasing & Township Growth Story

Despite a mixed economic climate, Megaworld’s profit surge tells a different story of steady growth and confidence. The country’s top township developer reported a 14% increase in its nine-month net income rising to nearly ₱18 billion, as its leasing, residential, and hotel segments delivered impressive performances.

Leasing Strength Powers Growth

Megaworld’s leasing business remains one of its strongest pillars. Leasing revenues reached ₱16.24 billion, a 15% jump from last year, driven mainly by Megaworld Premier Offices, which brought in ₱11.14 billion, up 16% year-on-year.

This growth was supported by new take-ups from business process outsourcing (BPO) companies and traditional multinationals, as well as steady rental escalations and renewals. The company closed nearly 140,000 square meters in new office leases and 120,000 square meters in renewals, reaffirming the strong demand for office spaces in its well-planned, accessible townships.

Meanwhile, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls generated ₱5.10 billion in revenues—up 13%—thanks to growing foot traffic and consumer spending in key areas like Uptown Bonifacio, ArcoVia City, Eastwood City, and Lucky Chinatown.

Hotels and Residences Keep the Momentum

Megaworld Hotels & Resorts recorded ₱4.13 billion in revenues, marking a 13% increase year-on-year. The segment benefited from rising travel demand and the launch of Grand Westside Hotel, now the country’s biggest in terms of room count.

Real estate sales also climbed by 6% to ₱40.24 billion, fueled by strong sales from Uptown Bonifacio, ArcoVia City, Maple Grove in Cavite, and The Upper East in Bacolod. These projects showcase Megaworld’s strength in offering lifestyle-driven communities that blend residential comfort with business accessibility.

Expanding Horizons: Townships and Long-Term Plans

Megaworld currently operates 36 township developments nationwide, covering roughly 7,000 hectares of land. The company plans to launch another provincial township before the year ends—proof of its continuing confidence in regional expansion.

By 2030, Megaworld aims to grow its office gross leasable area (GLA) to two million square meters and retail GLA to one million, combining for a total of three million square meters of leasable space.

Megaworld President Lourdes Gutierrez-Alfonso shared that the company remains focused on “innovation, operational efficiency, and township-led growth,” even amid evolving market conditions.

A Future Built on Stability and Vision

As of September 2025, Megaworld’s total assets have reached nearly half a trillion pesos—a sign of both resilience and strategic foresight. With leasing, residential, and hotel sectors thriving, Megaworld’s profit surge reflects not only strong financial performance but also long-term confidence in the company’s township model.
