What AREIT does

AREIT, Inc. is a publicly listed Real Estate Investment Trust on the Philippine Stock Exchange (ticker: AREIT) and the first and largest REIT in the Philippines. Incorporated on September 4, 2006 (originally as One Dela Rosa Property Development, Inc.) and reincorporated as AREIT on April 12, 2019 in preparation for REIT conversion, the company completed its IPO in August 2020 and is approximately 61.54% owned by sponsor Ayala Land, Inc., with 38.46% publicly traded and 5.19% foreign ownership as of March 31, 2026.

AREIT owns and operates an income-generating commercial real estate portfolio of P139.5 billion in AUM spanning 4.3 million sqm of gross leasable area across offices (68% of AUM), retail malls (19%), hotels (7%), and industrial land (6%). Flagship holdings include Ayala North Exchange, One Ayala East & West Towers, Vertis North Corporate Center, Ayala Malls Glorietta, Greenbelt, and Central Bloc, with named anchor tenants such as Teleperformance, BPI-Philam Life, and Holiday Inn. The portfolio delivered 99% occupancy and P9.5B EBITDA in FY 2025.

The business model is subscription-style recurring rental income from long-term leases, with mandated distribution of at least 90% of distributable income as dividends per the Philippine REIT Act of 2009. Revenue grew 26% YoY in FY 2025 to P13.0B and 21% YoY in 1Q 2026 to P3.5B. Asset growth is driven primarily by property-for-share swaps with sponsor Ayala Land — six such transactions to date, with a P19.5B injection approved by the SEC in June 2026 — supplemented by periodic block sales (e.g., P2.67B raised in June 2025). Fund and property management are handled by wholly-owned Ayala Land subsidiaries AFMI and APMI under five-year renewable agreements, while the company itself operates with only 1-10 employees who are seconded from the sponsor.
