If there’s one real estate giant that kept its momentum strong this 2025, it’s Megaworld. The company just posted impressive numbers for the first nine months of the year, and the growth is coming from all fronts of its business.
Megaworld’s net income rose by 14%, landing close to ₱18 billion. Meanwhile, total revenues reached ₱64.41 billion, up by 8% from last year. Not bad for a year of mixed market signals, right?
🌆 Office Spaces Still in High Demand
Office leasing continues to be one of Megaworld’s strongest pillars. Revenues hit ₱16.24 billion, a solid 15% jump from last year.
A huge chunk of that came from Megaworld Premier Offices, growing roughly 16% year-on-year. What’s driving the growth? A mix of expanding BPO companies and traditional multinational firms still choosing Megaworld’s well-planned townships for accessibility, convenience, and a better work-life balance.
In just nine months, the company sealed almost 140,000 sqm in new office leases and another 120,000 sqm in renewals — a clear sign that businesses still prefer integrated communities where everything is within reach.
🛍️ Malls Are Buzzing Again
Megaworld Lifestyle Malls also had a vibrant run, generating ₱5.10 billion in leasing revenues — up 13%. With more people dining out, shopping, and spending again, foot traffic across its malls continues to climb.
The company also expanded retail spaces to welcome more global and lifestyle brands around Uptown Bonifacio, ArcoVia City, Eastwood City, and Lucky Chinatown.
🏨 Hotels Get a Travel Boost
Travel made a comeback, and Megaworld Hotels & Resorts felt it. Hotel revenues reached ₱4.13 billion, up 13% from last year. Higher room rates, more business and leisure trips, plus new hotel openings (including the massive Grand Westside Hotel) all helped fuel the growth.
🏡 Steady Rise in Home Sales
Real estate sales also showed stability, increasing 6% to ₱40.24 billion. Buyers continue to invest in Megaworld’s residential developments across Metro Manila and key provinces, especially in:
- Uptown Bonifacio
- ArcoVia City
- Maple Grove, Cavite
- The Upper East, Bacolod
And yes — Megaworld also entered the ultra-luxury market this year with its Megaworld Luxe Collection, marking a new milestone for the brand.
💼 Investor Confidence Stays Strong
Megaworld rewarded its shareholders with a cash dividend of around ₱0.094 per share and even rolled out a ₱2-billion share buyback program — a clear signal of strong financial footing and long-term confidence.
📍 What’s Next for Megaworld?
- Another township is set to launch outside Metro Manila before the year ends
- Target 2M sqm office GLA and 1M sqm retail GLA by 2030
- Aim for a total of 3M sqm leasing portfolio within the next five years
To date, Megaworld has 36 townships nationwide and a land bank of approximately 7,000 hectares. As of September 2025, its total assets now stand at around ₱500 billion — reflecting its solid and growing portfolio.
