Southeast Asian property giant SM Prime Holdings Inc. (SM Prime) has hit P1 trillion in market capitalization at the stock market on Monday, making this Sy family-led company the first local firm to breach this milestone.

“SM Prime acknowledges the investment community’s unwavering support. This is a great moment for us to share this success as we continue to deliver our commitment to our shareholders,” SM Prime chief finance officer John Ong said in a press statement on Monday.

It also allowed SM Prime to pursue larger projects, from reclaiming land to long-term integrated developments,” the company statement said.

“SM Prime remains committed to its role as a catalyst for economic growth, delivering innovative and sustainable lifestyle cities that enrich the quality of life of millions,” it added.
