Lance Y. Gokongwei: FIABCI’s Prix D’Excellence Property Man of the Year

Lance Y. Gokongwei’s recent recognition as FIABCI’s Prix D’Excellence Property Man of the Year highlights his significant impact on the Philippine real estate sector. His visionary leadership and commitment to sustainable development have driven Robinsons Land Corp.’s (RLC) growth and advanced the country’s real estate landscape.

Lance has transformed RLC into a key pillar of one of the country’s largest conglomerates, JG Summit Holdings, Inc., positioning it alongside the Gokongwei Group’s other businesses in food manufacturing, air transport, petrochemicals, retail, financial services, and healthcare, among others.

RLC’s industry-leading diverse portfolio includes: 54 lifestyle centers (Robinsons Malls, one of the country’s premier shopping mall operators and developers); 32 office buildings and 10 work.able co-working centers (under Robinsons Offices, a prime developer of office spaces); 90 residential buildings and 41 subdivisions (under RLC Residences); and 26 hotels and resorts (under Robinsons Hotels & Resorts), making it the largest hotel group in terms of property numbers across key cities in the Philippines.

RLC also develops and manages 10 industrial facilities (under RLX Logistix and Industrials, Inc.) and 29 mixed-use projects (under Robinsons Destination Estates), cementing its position as a pioneer in mixed-use lifestyle developments.

As one of the Philippines’ leading real estate and property developers, this extensive portfolio not only enhances RLC’s market presence but also contributes to the overall growth of the Philippine real estate sector.

A cornerstone of Lance’s leadership is his strong focus on sustainability. He has guided RLC to build better by implementing green building standards, renewable energy collaborations, environmental and community initiatives.

This has resulted in LEED and EDGE-certified projects, the adoption of energy-efficient technologies, and robust corporate social responsibility programs. These efforts highlight RLC’s dedication to sustainable practices and leadership in environmentally responsible development.
