/ 12:15 AM June 12, 2015

Empire East Land Holdings Inc., a subsidiary of tycoon Andrew Tan’s Megaworld Corp., is eyeing continued growth in 2015 as it launches new projects and considers funding options.

Empire East president Anthony Charlemagne Yu said the first quarter 2015 reservation sales, a revenue indicator, had already “exceeded” year-ago levels.

“All indicators show we will exceed what we had last year,” Yu said. Empire East booked P22 billion in reservation sales in 2014.

Yu said the builder was working on eight projects, with another two to be brought into the pipeline this year.

“There are banks asking if we want to have loans and we’re looking into it because the rate is so low,” he added, clarifying that a final decision had yet to be made.

Empire East earlier budgeted about P5 billion for capital spending in 2015, or about 25 percent higher than its 2014 spending, its annual report showed.
