“We are definitely expanding our
national presence. We have identified the Pampanga-Bataan-Zambales corridor as a
key growth area, and with the opening of Harbor Point, you can say we have
already deepened our presence in those areas,” Bernard Vincent O. Dy, Ayala
Land executive vice-president, said in a press briefing.
Aside from Harbor Point, Ayala Land’s
other developments in central Luzon included Anvaya Cove, a 320-hectare leisure
complex in Bataan that the company developed in partnership with Subic Bay
Development and Industrial Estate Corp.
“As you can see, we’re always on the
lookout for opportunities, and right now, we are in discussions with the
[Olongapo] city government and SBMA (Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority) if we
can expand further our product offerings. We’re looking at possible residential
or office buildings, in addition to Harbor Point,” Mr. Dy said.
Harbor Point, the first Ayala Land
mall opened this year, is located on a 3.5-hectare lot along the Subic Bay
freeport’s Rizal Highway.
Around 80% of the mall is already
leased out to tenants, from which Harbor Point expects to net some P100 million
in revenues annually, Javier D. Hernandez, Ayala Land commercial business group
assistant-vice president said. -- Franz Jonathan G. de la Fuente
