About Developer’s Background




 


100-west-makati-developer-filinvest-logoFilinvest Land, Inc. (FLI) is one of the leading real estate developers in the Philippines. It is a subsidiary of Filinvest Development Corporation (FDC), which has more than 40 years of experience in real estate development. Founded by Mr. Andrew L. Gotianun, Sr., FDC is the holding company of the Gotianun Family. Originally engaged in the small-scale financing of second hand cars in 1955, the Gotianun Family’s business later expanded into consumer finance in partnerships with foreign institutions such as Chase Manhattan Bank, Westinghouse Electric Corporation and Ford Philippines. By the early 1980’s, the Gotianun Family’s Filinvest Credit Corporation had become one of the leading consumer finance companies in the Philippines in terms of assets, and the “Filinvest” name had become well-recognized in the Philippines. The Gotianun Family entered the real estate business in 1967 through the incorporation of Filinvest Realty Corporation, which engaged in the development of residential subdivisions. In 1984, the Gotianun Family consolidated their real estate interests in FDC after divesting their shares in two family-owned banks, Family Bank and Trust Company and the Insular Bank of Asia and America. By 1990, FDC expanded its product line to include the development and sale of low-cost and medium-cost housing units.

FLI was incorporated on November 24, 1989 as Citation Homes, Inc. and changed its name to FLI on July 12, 1993. It began commercial operations in August 1993 after FDC spun off its real estate operations and transferred all related assets and liabilities to FLI in exchange for shares in FLI. FLI was listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on October 25, 1993. FDC remains FLI’s largest shareholder, beneficially owning approximately 51% of FLI’s outstanding common shares and all of its outstanding preferred shares.

Buy or Not Buy??: How's the Singapore property market moving forward in 2015?

Check it Out:


 Mar 5, 2015

(SG) Old Age? How old is consider old? ^_^

In real estate, age is the key factor to determine your housing loan eligibility and monthly installment (tenure of loan). The best time to buy is before 35yrs old. Are you late for it? Never too late!!!


How’s the Singapore property market moving forward? You might able to guess from the Survey:

The survey said:

1. Respondents rated the property market as becoming less expensive, with an affordability score of 168 in the second half of 2014 – well above the base level of 100.

2. 76 percent of respondents expect condominium prices to fall over the next six months.

3. “43 percent of respondents intend to purchase a property within the first half of 2015 despite a bearish real estate climate. This figure represents a great improvement in consumer sentiment against previous years.”


So, to me, the results suggested:

1. A lots of ready buyers out there, what’s holding their decisions now is to observe the market movement and trying to buy at the lowest point.

2. Next, what will trigger them to buy mainly due to the market sentiment. When the property price index started to turn to positive, everyone might rush into buying again.

3. 2014 property price dropped 5% (for those not near MRT) while a lots of “expert” predicted whole market to drop 10~20%. So, many people started to get tiring while waiting for property price to drop further. They need housing! They afraid they will missed the property downturn and have to wait another 5~10yrs for the next downturn… just like me :)


Cheers to the new home owners/ who had secure your dream homes in 2014!! Are you one of the new home owners in 2015?

【芽笼解密:蜕变中的乌鸦】


原创 By MySgProp, 07/02/2015


新闻参考:Eye on Geylang: Defying reputation.


(SG) 芽笼,芽笼。。。它很大。。。我之前也发表过好几个关于它的巨大潜能,政府URA Master Plan要把D14区重新打造成商业中心以舒缓无法再扩大的Shenton Way,主要就是它非常近市区也近机场。这里价格相比其它同距离的City Fringe地点低了很多。。。就因为 — 新加坡红灯区也在芽笼。 有的人甚至直接把整个D14区都和红灯区挂钩起来。 D14除了Geylang还包含了Eunos,和Paya Lebar。。。。更大啊! ^_^


大约一年前我也有聊过怎么选芽笼的楼盘和银行贷款问题,不知道大家还记得否? 这则文章也有提到让大家温故知新:

1. 红灯区在Geylang Lorong的“双数”,以Lorong 16为中心。准确一点说,Lorong 4到22的双数街道就是红灯区。很少银行要批贷款,文中说只有两家银行愿意批。

2. 当然4到22对面的单数巷子也会被影响了一些,所以这里的贷款也会比较难,但比双数巷子机会高很多。

3. 芽笼1到3巷就其实就不担心了,因为那里基本上属于Kallang的地盘了。

4. 过了24巷已经不属于红灯区,但是银行贷款还是会Case by Case,就看你多靠近红灯区,离得越远越好。。。单数更好。

5. 过了40巷后就不必担心了,因为那里基本上属于Paya Lebar的地盘了。

4年前,很多典型的新加坡人其实很久都没有到过新山(JB)。年轻一代的(35岁以下),近5到10年都没有到过新山的人很普遍。对新山的认识,就是看报纸和听同事朋友说。大家听到新山就敬而远之,因为“新山”和“治安乱”离不开关系。所以当时介绍新山房地产真的是很费劲的一件事情。新山,新山。。。它其实也很大!!


直到新加坡政府和马来西亚政府携手在新山伊斯干达推行了几个大型的项目,并开始鼓励国人投资房地产和中小型企业迁往伊斯干达,这才让大家开始愿意去了解新山和伊斯干达经济特区的概念?慢慢的,2012年新山房地产出现了空前的飞快增长。


我知道在看我这文章的朋友,很多都对芽笼不熟,尤其是女生。。。腼腆一点的女生听到这个芽笼这个名字还会脸红的。


那为什么我那么熟?哈哈,除了因为我的工作关系需要对各地方进行研究,而且我自己也住在D14啊!


2015年1月14日,URA(城市重建发展局)提出把芽笼红灯区(4-22双数芽笼巷)重新规划土地用途。方案通过后将被纳入现有的URA Masterplan,这也意味着从今以后红灯区不会再有住宅项目。这里的租金一直以来都是全岛租金率最高的地区之一,这主要是因为价格相比其它近市区的地点要便宜很多。这样一来,这里的房子供应也会慢慢的减少,相信几年后租金会更进一步上升。新闻参考:No more new homes in Geylang red-light area


但我想芽笼这样价格偏低的情况不会持续太久!随着政府公布的未来发展蓝图中点出义顺(Yishun),裕廊(Jurong),加冷(Kallang),芽笼(Geylang),和(Paya Lebar)为重点发展。这让越来越多人开始去对芽笼有了好奇心,开始去了解它。。。上图中圈出的两个近期楼盘是国浩地产的盛世名园(SiMS Urban Oasis)和TRE Residences,这两个楼盘都是99年产权,距离阿裕尼地铁站(Aljunied MRT)差不多300~400米左右,发售价格都在S$1500 psf左右。


未来发展方面,除了芽笼自身的$2.2 Billions转型计划,还有左右两边Kallang和Paya Lebar这两个政府重点发展的黄金地段。未来创造的无数就业机会将更进一步带动这里的房产需求。

此外,James Cook大学也于去年确定将在Sims Drive建设另一间更大的学府。预计2015年尾开始收纳新生,第一批新生人数目标为3500人,并设下目标2018年学生人数将超过7000人。这里很快可以看到很大的改变。新闻参考:James Cook University Singapore to get bigger campus at Sims Drive。


7000人的大学有多大?我记得以前我小学的时候差不多1000个学生,属于A型小学,那么7个我的小学的规模挺大呢!2000年,在马来西亚国立大学(UKM)求学的时候,我记得当时的总人数约2万个学生,也就是说大约是UKM近30%的规模。。。哇,那也好大啊!


Sims-Urban-Oasis-Article-James-Cook-Uni


好啦,今天暂时就介绍到这里。 希望这里让大家开始对芽笼有个初步的了解,而不是人云亦云。有多少人知道,碧山Bishan的前生是一个坟场?现在有红黄地铁线Interchange撑腰(NS-Circle Line)也摇身一变成了凤凰。我们错过了见证Bishan变化的机会。


接下来,随着MySgProp.com,我们一起见证D14区芽笼的蜕变吧!

MySgProp: 2014 Most Popular (TOP 5) Overseas Property Investment


By MySgProp.com, 17-Jan-2015


2014 is the year for Overseas Property Market!


Thanks to the cooling measures in Singapore & Malaysia, 2014 is a great year for Overseas Property Market. With the advanced in air transportation & connectivity, our world is getting smaller and smaller. Since the revised of ABSD, the hefty stamp duty had make the property investment in Singapore no longer an easy mission to archieve. Most of the Singaporean started to open their mind to invest across the boarder — Iskandar Malaysia since 2012, due to the close proximity to Singapore and also strong collaboration between the Singapore-Malaysia Governments in Iskandar. Now, we see more and more savvy investors had advanced their steps into the other overseas property market, especially the emerging countries to look out for more attractive returns in shorter time.


In Singapore, a 1-bedroom condo easily cost S$600K. The downpayment needed at least 20% + 10% Stamp Duty (assuming this is your second property, and the bank loan had fully paid up for 1st property). 30% translated to about S$180K. This amount of money is not easy to fork out for most of the family, or beyond the investment budget range. Singapore living cost is one of the highest in the region, everyone is working hard for a better quality of life. Rather than let the money depreciating in bank, people are more willing to allocate portion of their investment fund into Overseas Property Market.

Check it Out:


MySgProp: 2014 Most Popular (TOP 5) Iskandar’s Property Investment


By MySgProp.com, 16-Jan-2015


In 2014, Iskandar’s Property Market is much quite compare to year 2013, mainly due to 3 new regulations/ cooling measures imposed by Malaysia Government to curb the speculation in property market


  • Since Malaysia 2014 Budget, the RGPT (Real Property Gain Tax) had increased. For foreigners, first 5 years 30%, and 5% after 5 years. Clock start from SPA date. If you’re someone follow the property market long enough, you should aware Capital Gain Tax of 30% is not new in Malaysia, it had been there sometime year 2004 (if I remember correctly). It was reduced after that due to slum market. Interestingly, the increase of Property Gain Tax had indirectly encourage investors to purchase new launches instead of resale, because the new launches easily takes few years to complete. So the waiting time for minimum Gain Tax is significantly shorten.

  • Starting May, 2014, the Price Threshold, i.e minimum purchase price for foreigners had also increased from RM500K to RM1 mil (Johor). All new projects are subjected to new rulings, unless special approval granted by State Government. Old projects which had obtained the building approval are also exempted from the new rulings.

  • DIBS (Developer Interest Bearing Scheme) Abolishment, or we called it IAS (Interest Absorption Scheme) in Singapore. Developers is no longer allowed to offer DIBS scheme to the buyers and buyers have to pay the interest incurred by Bank Loan. IAS in Singapore had been stopped quite a long time ago. This had effectively filtered out the speculators & small investors, especially those who do not have a strong cash flow/ holding power.

Personally, I see the cooling measures is a good move to ensure the property market stay resilient. Iskandar is still one of the very good hotspot and yet low price among Asia’s major cities. However, there are more than 100 projects currently actively market in Iskandar (although some are actually out of Iskandar region but developer still claimed as it is), which one should you go for? “Location within location” is extremely important when come to property investment, just like a shoplots in same shopping mall could fetch different pricing.


johor-bahru-areas


Personally, I would prefer the following locations for investment wise, :



  • Medini (Iskandar Zone B Special one, where the Legoland and Pinewood Studio located, no foreigner’s restriction, no capital gain tax): about RM850 psf for leasehold 129 years (129 is the longest leasehold, no freehold land in Medini).



  • Bukit Indah (Iskandar Zone B, the only matured township in Iskandar Zone B), excellent amenities & public transportation to/from Singapore. About RM750 psf freehold



  • Puteri Harbour (most expensive area in Iskandar, price at about RM1400 psf) – Luxury, Marina/ Sea View. Just next to Medini, cater for high-end expats/ foreigners.



  • Johor Bahru CBD (gateway to Singapore via Woodlands Custom, CBD Retransformation on gong, Singapore Johor MRT-RTS railway station completion due in 2018)


The following are the Top 5 Most Popular Iskandar’s projects (MySgProp.com) for the year 2014. Did you miss?


2014 Market Trend Summary:


  • Affordability is still the main factor influencing the buying decisions. 3 out of the Top 5 projects below are having super attractive sales package and all of them are having the approval from state government to sell below RM 1 mil. Home Buyers are also squeeze the budget or chose the locations that further away/ out of Iskandar’s Prime Areas and to compromise with security levels. This includes Permas Jaya, Seri Alam, Senai, Johor Jaya & Mount Austin, which are also the matured and established area, populated by locals.

  • Current market sentiments is mainly concern about the Oversupply issue in CBD and also Danga Bay, where the China Developers building mega projects. About RM1,000 psf. However, the sales is still moving in a fast pace. Danga Bay mainly because of it’s nice coastal view and unstop marketing attempts by Developers. R&F was experienced slow sales in the beginning, but now is also moving fast with the Special Approval from State Government to sell below RM1 mil to foreigners.

  • Staring April 2015, the 6% GST will be implemented in Malaysia. Although residential property is not affected, however developer will have to factor in the extra cost into the selling price. Many foreigners buyers are buying to avoid GST effect next year, and many local (Malaysian) buyers are holding the handbrake to purchase and adopting “Wait and See” strategy. GST — It is a very new thing to most of the Malaysians.

  • Cash rich investors are investing into Commercial/ Industrial Property. The supply of Commercial and Industrial are relatively super low in Iskandar. The 2 out of Top 5 projects are from Commercial and Industrial, both with >90% Sold on the first week of launching. This kind of overwhelming response is not seen on any residential projects in 2014. Although Commercial/ Indusrial seems to be more lucrative and better returns, but the cash upfront is much higher than Residential Project due to higher price quantum and less “discount/rebate”.

MySgProp: 2014 Most Popular (TOP 5) Singapore Private Condo


By MySgProp.com, 08-Jan-2015


Overview of 2014 Property Market:


2014 is a tough year for Singapore property market.


While the property in most of the countries are appreciating (if not booming), Singapore property experienced a price dropped at about 5%. The cooling measure introduced by MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) — TDSR (total debt service ratio) since June 2013 had successfully limit the loan eligibility of home buyers. The ABSD (Additional Buyer Stamp Duty) introduced since Dec 2011 and revised on Jan 2013, is also effectively curb the speculation and heavily reduced the buying power of many savvy investors.


The following chart tabulated the Property Price Index from 2012-2014 (Q3). Apparently, the 5% price drop is mainly from the Resale Market, the New Launches pricing is still steadily claiming up (although the sales might not great, and developer slashing the price to push up the sales). This is mainly due to the increase of the land price. Property market sentiments is glummy, however developers are still eyeing and aggressively bid on the Land released by URA as the lands are depleting in this small island, especially for the prime lands like Paya Lebar.

(SG)盘点新加坡2014年五大最热门私宅楼盘(MySgProp)!

2014年是新加坡房地产艰难的一年。。。当其它国家涨得不清不楚,新加坡以近负5%的跌幅在区域中垫底。新加坡房地产背道而驰,主要“归功”于2013年金管局实施的降温措施TDSR(总债务偿还比率)大大限制了买家的借贷能力。另外,2011年12月推出的ABSD(买家附加印花税)在2013年1月修正后更让买家/房地产投资者大感吃不消!


回顾2014年市场走势:

1. 负担能力有限,买家(自住)继续往市区外移动。周边设施和交通便利是续负担能力后的最大考量因素。

2. 五大热门楼盘里,其中三个位于政府发展蓝图里的主要的主要发展区,转型计划进行中。

3. 好地点,价格适中的永久私宅项目依然受到市场青睐热捧。

4. 住宅方面,买家主要是买来自住的。投资者开始转向商业楼盘。

5. 有眼见和胆识的投资者也开始打开心扉,涉足国际房地产,以期更好的投资回报率。
