Premier
property developer Alphaland Corp. is evaluating offers to either buy or lease
its P3-billion high-end office development project in the Makati business
district.
Alphaland
chief finance officer Marianne Yulo said in an interview at the sidelines of a
forum held at Raffles Hotel in Makati City that aside from Philippine Long
Distance Telephone Co., other local and foreign companies expressed interest in
leasing or buying the office building.
“We are still
assessing our options and PLDT is just one of them,” Yulo said.
She said
Alphaland Tower was the only new and premier office supply in Makati.
“We are
holding out for the right price and right tenant. Demand [for the office
building] is good so we are okay,” Yulo said.
Alphaland
Tower is a 34-story building with a total leasable area of 39,000 square
meters. The building is ideal for headquarters of multinational companies and
other high-end corporate offices.
PLDT is
looking at Alphaland Tower as the possible headquarters of the First Pacific group
in the Philippines, including unit Metro Pacific Investments Corp. PLDT’s head
office is located at Ramon Cojuangco Building along Makati Avenue.
Yulo,
meanwhile, said Alphaland would open next week the Alphaland City Club, a 20,000-square-meter, world-class sports and
leisure club that occupies the top three floors of the six-story podium of the
Alphaland Makati Place. With AFP
