Corporate Profile
The Company was founded by Andrew Tan and incorporated under Philippine law on August 24, 1989 to engage in the development, leasing and marketing of real estate. The Company initially established a reputation for building high-end residential condominiums and commercial properties located in convenient urban locations with easy access to offices as well as leisure and entertainment amenities in Metro Manila. Beginning in 1996, in response to demand for the lifestyle convenience of having quality residences in close proximity to office and leisure facilities, the Company began to focus on the development of mixed-use communities, primarily for the middle-income market, by commencing the development of its Eastwood City community township. In addition, the Company engages in other property related activities such as project design, construction oversight and property management. In 1999, Eastwood City Cyberpark became the first IT park in the Philippines to be designated a PEZA special economic zone.

Current Property Development Projects
The Company’s current property development projects consist of mixed-use residential and commercial developments located throughout Metro Manila, Cebu, Iloilo and Davao. The objective of each of the mixed-use developments is to provide an integrated community with high quality “live-work-play-learn” amenities within close proximity to each other. Each of the Company’s main projects is described below.

Eastwood City
Eastwood City is a mixed-use project on approximately 18 hectares of land in Quezon City, Metro Manila that integrates corporate, residential, education/training, leisure and entertainment components. In response to growing demand for office space with infrastructure capable of supporting IT-based operations such as high-speed telecommunications facilities, 24-hour uninterruptible power supply and computer security, the Company launched the Eastwood City Cyberpark, the Philippines’ first IT park, within Eastwood City in 1997. The Eastwood City Cyberpark includes the headquarters of IBM Philippines and Citibank’s credit card and data center operations as anchor tenants. In connection with the development of the Cyberpark, the Company was instrumental in working with the Philippine Government to obtain the first PEZA-designated special economic zone status for an IT park in 1999. A PEZA special economic zone designation confers certain tax incentives such as an income tax holiday of four to six years and other tax exemptions upon businesses that are located within the zone. The planning of Eastwood City adopts an integrated approach to urban planning, with an emphasis on the development of the Eastwood City Cyberpark to provide offices with the infrastructure such as high-speed telecommunications and 24-hour uninterrupted power supply to support BPO and other technology-driven businesses, and to provide education/training, restaurants, leisure and retail facilities and residences to complement Eastwood City Cyberpark.
Once the entire residential zone of Eastwood City is fully developed, it is expected to consist of at least 20 high-rise towers. Each tower is designed according to a specific theme and style. Typical building amenities include 24-hour security, high-speed elevators, parking, a swimming pool and other recreational facilities.
The office properties at Eastwood City consist of office buildings. Tenants in the Eastwood City Cyberpark include major multinational corporations, largely comprised of software developers, data encoding and conversion centers, call centers, system integrations, IT and computer system support. The tenants, which include Citibank, IBM and Dell, are able to benefit from a variety of business and tax incentives in conjunction with the PEZA special economic zone status conferred upon the Eastwood City Cyberpark.
The leisure and entertainment zone consists of the Eastwood Mall, Eastwood Richmonde Hotel, Eastwood Citywalk I, a dining and entertainment hub, and Eastwood Citywalk II, an amusement center with a state-of-the-art digital complex, a billiard and bowling center, restaurants and specialty shops, which are designed to complement the office and residential buildings in the community township.
