“Notably, occupancy has consistently hovered around this level for the past three years, underscoring our deep understanding of tenant needs and our sustained commitment to providing functional, strategically located spaces for a diverse range of industries,” he added.
The 27 percent gain in the overall occupancy rate reflects the combined performance of PNB Makati Center and PNB Financial Center from January to June 2025, with the former leading the portfolio at 94 percent occupancy.
Consunji attributed the achievement to PHC’s long-standing commitment to responsive property management, strategic locations, and a clear focus on tenant success.
“Our ability to blend legacy with functionality, along with our deep understanding of emerging business needs, allows us to maintain high occupancy even in a competitive and changing real estate market,” said Consunji. “The company has shown consistency in delivering value to tenants, and this level of performance is a reflection of our ability to adapt to market shifts while continuing to meet the evolving needs of the businesses and communities that we serve.”
