MANILA, Philippines —  Earnings of property giant Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) increased by 15 percent to P21.2 billion in the nine months ending September, driven by resilient property demand and consumer activity.

Revenues generated by the company for the period rose by 27 percent year-on-year to P125.2 billion.

“We are pleased with the solid results delivered across our business lines,” ALI president and CEO Anna Ma. Margarita Bautista-Dy said.

“With signs of market headwinds clearing, coupled with our reinvention initiatives, we look forward to continue delivering high-quality products to our stakeholders,” she said.

Mesa in the city of Manila.

Meanwhile, the company’s leasing and hospitality revenues saw an eight-percent jump to P33.2 billion driven by the contribution of new assets namely, One Ayala Mall and East and West Office towers, Ayala Triangle Gardens Tower Two and Seda Manila Bay.

Revenues from shopping center improved by seven percent to P16.7 billion, while hotel and resort revenues accelerated by 13 percent to P7.1 billion.
