Anchor Land Holdings, Inc. derives its strategic direction mainly from its founders, Chairman Stephen Lee and Vice Chairman Steve Li, who, along with a seasoned management team, have established a business development plan that has become the company’s blueprint for all its undertakings.
The underlying principles of Anchor Land’s business strategy are its commitment to deliver projects on time, innovation to provide ever higher standards for its customers, and an after sales customer service marked by personal attention to detail and a truly caring relationship with all stakeholders.
Company History
The company traces its roots to Anchor Properties Corporation (APC). APC was incorporated on July 15, 2003 and was primarily organized to acquire by purchase lease, donation or otherwise, and to own, use, improve, develop, subdivided, sell, mortgage, exchange, lease and hold for investment, real estate of all kinds, whether improve, manage or otherwise dispose of buildings, houses, apartments, and other structures of whatever kind, together with their appurtenances. It commenced commercial operations on April 30, 2004, simultaneous with the start of the construction of its Lee Tower project.
On December 13, 2006, the Board of Directors and Stockholders of the company approved and authorized the plan of merger with APC, with company as the surviving entity. Both companies are substantially under common control and the merger of the two companies was done to consolidate their real estate projects under one group.
The company was founded by a group of entrepreneurs led by Stephen Lee Keng and Li Yi Chiang, and was incorporated under the Philippine law on July 29, 2004. The company was primarily organized to engage in real estate development and marketing focusing initially in high-end residential condominiums within the Manila area. It started business operations on November 25, 2005. In December 2005, the company, through APC, acquired 100% ownership of Manila Towers Development Corporation, then a shell company which owned a 2, 107.30 square meter property in Binondo, Manila. The property is the site of the Mandarin Square condominium.
About the Company
Anchor Land Holdings, Inc. is one of the fastest growing players in the Philippine real estate industry, specializing in the development of sophisticated and luxurious residential condominiums.
Listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange in 2007 after a successful initial public offering, the company has built its reputation for delivering its projects on time, without sacrificing the beauty and functionality of its developments.
Initially finding its niche within the affluent Filipino-Chinese community, ALHI has brought modern condo living to Old Manila through a fusion of current trends and traditional comforts and practices. The company’s developments take inspiration from upscale condos in major cities around the world while incorporating age-old Feng Shui principles.
Building on the successful formula of its first project, the 33-storey Lee Tower in Binondo which was sold out within 18 months and delivered ahead of schedule in 2006, ALHI has continued its dynamic and aggressive approach to take on even bigger and bolder challenges.
The company has several ongoing developments, with more in the pipeline.
Mayfair Tower along UN Avenue in Ermita, in the heart of colonial Old Manila was turned over last 2009, and its second condominium in Binondo, the Mandarin Square was turned over in 2010. Both developments have taken condo living in Manila to a higher level with first class amenities rivaling the best there is in the country.
Anchor Land likewise broke ground for its SoleMare ParkSuites, its first project outside of the City of Manila, in December of 2008. The mid-rise residential project at the ASEANA Business Park in Bay City,Paranaque, near the humongous Mall of Asia, it caters to those who want to be at the center of Metro Manila’s emerging cultural and entertainment hub along scenic Manila Bay. Its first phase has been completely turned over last quarter of 2011.
In an effort to cater to the needs of Chinese community with children studying in the Manila area, Anchor Land launched Wharton Parksuites in 2009 and is currently almost sold out. The turn over for this will start on December of 2012. Again, the company pioneered in addressing the needs of it’s clients by putting up music rooms, library and tutorial/study rooms for their convenience.
On February 06, 2010, the company embarked in it’s most ambitious development project the Anchor SkySuites. A 55-storey condominium located in the heart of Binondo. When completed it will be the tallest building in Metro Manila and all the Chinatowns in the world which guarantees to further raise the benchmark in the Chinatown district.
On the heels of Anchor Skysuites, Admiral Baysuites broke ground last January 2011. Located at the site of the historic Admiral Hotel, it will mark Anchor Land’s entry into the hotel business. The hotel will be restored to it’s former glory and will again be the place for the who’s who to hobnob. At the back will rise a 53 storey luxury condominium for the select few with amenities such as spa’s and mahjong rooms.
As part of the diversity of Anchor Land’s investments, the company built two shopping centers in Pasay City – namely One and Two Shopping Center. Amidst the shopping center, One Executive Suites is being built to cater to the needs of the shop owners.
This year, the company launched three new projects. Clairemont Hills in San Juan is our first venture outside of the Manila area. Situated at Alfonso XIII Street, the gated community will be a mix of 23 town houses and one mid-rise condominium having only 48 units. It’s high exclusivity will definitely meet the requirements of a more discerning clientele.
The second project is Oxford Parksuites. Launched last June 22, it is just across Wharton Parksuites in Masangkay St. Similar in many ways to Wharton, this was the answer to the demand for more units in Wharton.
The third and latest is the Monarch Parksuites. Just a stone’s throw away from Solemare Parksuites and walking distance from the SM Arena, Monarch Parksuites boasts of a design reminiscent of the Old Europe. Each tower is aptly named after the different palaces of the British Royal Family.
What sets the company apart from other Philippine developers is its ability to execute its business plans. While others give tremendous focus and attention to their business development efforts but hardly sustain them afterwards, Anchor Land makes sure that its business plans are meticulously implemented.
The secret lies in the active involvement of its key people in sales and marketing from the conceptualization stage and throughout the development of each project, with each department – from business development to engineering, finance, sales and customer relations – all in constant touch to ensure the seamless, on time delivery of the company’s commitments.
In 2008, the company has started to attract the attention not only of local investors, but international award-giving bodies as well for its sterling performance. Anchor Land was one of only two Philippine companies included in Forbes Magazine’s list of 200 Best Companies in Asia with capitalization of under $1 billion, a feat made possible by the company’s sterling financial performance amidst the global economic slowdown.
Internally, the company continues to build and strengthen its organization with the goal by recruiting and honing the best talents available in the manpower market, and by maintaining a small but dedicated cadre of sales people who have imbued Anchor Land’s corporate values of discipline, commitment, and excellent service.
The underlying principles of Anchor Land’s business strategy are its commitment to deliver projects on time, innovation to provide ever higher standards for its customers, and an after sales customer service marked by personal attention to detail and a truly caring relationship with all stakeholders.
