Official Statement

January 20, 2020 – This is to clarify the news about the U.P. Ayala Land Technohub development lease arrangement with the University of the Philippines (UP). UP will receive a total value of P171/square meter/month. This was derived from P4.23 billion in lease payments and P6 billion investment in 16 commercial buildings for a total amount of P10.23 billion over the life of the 25-year contract. After 2033, UP as owner will receive 100% of the buildings’ rent. UP also continues to own the land which has appreciated in value since the start of the partnership.

In 2006, ALI entered into a lease agreement with UP in the development of the U.P. Ayala Land Technohub. This was after 2 failed bids and an invitation for a negotiated proposal to 9 real estate developers. Only ALI submitted a proposal and committed to meet the very specific parameters set out by UP – a campus-type development with a minimum of 10, 3-4 storey buildings catering to IT companies.

Since the start of operations in 2008, the ALI-UP partnership has created 50,000 jobs in the development.

To clarify further, only 20 of the 37-hectare property is developable given that 4 hectares remain with UP and 13 hectares are allocated for open space.

Over the 25-year term of the lease, UP will receive the ff: 1) Lease Payments and 2) Buildings. This totals P171/sqm/month broken down as follows:

We believe this development has been fruitful and beneficial for UP, ALI and the community. We welcome a transparent review and assessment of our partnership with UP.
