Heard through the grapevine

Lawyer-developer Romeo Roxas has raised another A$14 million with the sale of his second cattle farm in Australia.

Roxas still has a third ranch Down Under that he is rehabilitating prior to a possible sale.

Roxas also owns about 28,000 hectares of mainly forested and pasture land in Quezon, and has taken in Ayala Land as majority partner to develop the area.

New crown jewel

As Alveo rises to be the biggest brand in Ayala Land in terms of profit contribution this year (edging out Ayala Land Premier for the first time), the group has appointed a fast-rising female executive to be the new steward of this new crown jewel.

Effective March 1, Jennylle Tupaz, former chief operating officer, assumed the presidency of 15-year-old Alveo Land. She’s also one of the youngest among the group’s business segments.

Tupaz is not only very good with numbers (she’s a statistics graduate from UP Diliman) but an expert in corporate planning and business development. She has been with the Ayala Land group for two decades.

The new Alveo boss has set high goals for the brand. While Alveo plans to bring to the property market a record-high P40-billion worth of inventory this year, sales take up was targeted at P45 billion (without value added tax), likewise another record high from last year’s gross sales of P38 billion.

Alveo’s projected rise as Ayala Land’s biggest brand this year is a function of the big launches made in the last four years alongside strong the strong market take-up.

In its 15-year history, Alveo has launched 84 projects in 12 locations valued at P206 billion, mostly comprising residential and office-for-sale units. This year, the P40 billion new launches planned by Alveo would consist of 16 new projects with over 5,000 residential and office units.

About 60 percent of Alveo’s launches last year consisted of projects in Metro Manila while 40 percent of new projects were in provincial areas. Moving forward, Tupaz said Alveo would increasingly rely on provincial areas for growth.

In terms of aging of inventory, Alveo has an average inventory life of 11 months, much shorter than the ideal life of 1.5 years. “What it tells you is that if inventory life is low, we’ve been efficient in using our inventory,” Tupaz said. —DORIS DUMLAO-ABADILLA

ALI in Canada

Unknown to many, property giant Ayala Land Inc. has had a fleeting love affair with the property market of Canada, that country with a handsome “CEO” Justin Trudeau who welcomes migrants and refugees with open arms.

ALI teamed up with a Canadian property developer Rize Alliance Properties on a small mixed-use project in Vancouver. It took a 49 percent stake in this project “The Independent” that offered 258 residential units, all of which have been sold out. The project which sits on an 1.2-acre property also offered for lease retail space in three podium floors.

“It’s in a high-transit area so it sold out really well,” said ALI chief finance officer Jaime

Ysmael who noted that secondary prices for these homes had surged by around 50 percent to about a thousand Canadian dollars per square foot since launch.

But after gaining a foothold into Vancouver with satisfactory results, ALI isn’t keen on pursuing Canada in a big way. In fact, he said ALI may unload its stake in the retail component of “The Independent” to the local partner. “That’s probably it, for now,” Ysmael said.

Meanwhile, ALI is devoting more of its time and resources to its country of origin, where opportunities are still aplenty. —DORIS DUMLAO-ABADILLA
