Ayala Land is investing nearly half a billion pesos – P488.63 million to be exact – into a stunning new residential development in Taguig City called Garden Court Residences. This isn’t just about building homes; it’s about crafting a lifestyle within the vibrant ARCA South estate.
The funds for this ambitious project originated from a strategic move last year: the sale of shares in AREIT, Inc., Ayala Land’s real estate investment trust. This demonstrates a clever reinvestment of resources, channeling capital directly into expanding their residential offerings.
Garden Court Residences will span two hectares and feature five distinct towers, ultimately housing 364 units. Currently 82% complete, the project is on track for completion in 2027, promising a meticulously designed living space for future residents.
Imagine a sprawling 6,000-square-meter courtyard, a tranquil oasis at the heart of the development. Beyond that, residents will enjoy exclusive access to sky gardens, a state-of-the-art sky gym, a sophisticated social hall and deck, and refreshing swimming pools.
The financial commitment is being phased, with P323.36 million allocated for the project in the third quarter of 2025, followed by P34.23 million in the fourth quarter, and a final P131.04 million in the first quarter of 2026. This structured approach ensures efficient and focused development.
Located within ARCA South, a 74-hectare master-planned estate, Garden Court Residences is poised to become a key part of Metro Manila’s next central business district. Its strategic location offers seamless connectivity via the South Luzon Expressway and C-5 Road, providing easy access to Bonifacio Global City.
Beyond residential development, Ayala Land has achieved a remarkable milestone in sustainability. They now boast the largest portfolio of EDGE zero carbon-certified office buildings globally, encompassing a massive 1.53 million square meters across 50 properties nationwide.
This commitment to green building practices isn’t merely symbolic. It’s a core strategy to enhance operational efficiency and long-term asset value, benefiting both the company and its tenants – a diverse mix of corporations and business process outsourcing firms.
The EDGE Zero Carbon certification, awarded after rigorous third-party audits, demands significant reductions in energy and water usage, alongside minimized embodied carbon in building materials. Crucially, it also requires 100% renewable energy or verified carbon offsets with high occupancy rates.
This achievement is deeply integrated with Ayala Land’s sustainability-linked financing program, aligning with international standards like those set by the ASEAN and international capital market associations. They’ve successfully raised approximately $1 billion through these sustainable financial instruments.
Ayala Land has set ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 42% across its malls, offices, and hotels by 2030. This dedication extends to all facets of their portfolio, including residential developments, logistics facilities, and mixed-use estates.
From the iconic Makati Central Business District to emerging hubs like Alviera in Pampanga and Ascenda in Davao City, Ayala Land is consistently pushing the boundaries of sustainable and innovative development.
Despite these significant achievements, Ayala Land’s stock experienced a slight dip on Monday, closing at P21.60 per share. However, the company’s long-term vision and commitment to sustainable growth remain firmly in place.
In the first nine months of 2025, Ayala Land reported a net income of P21.4 billion, a slight increase from the previous year, demonstrating continued financial strength and resilience in a dynamic market.
