ALI acquired the 74-hectare Food Terminal Inc. property in 2012 for P24.33 billion, more than double the government's floor price, seeing its strategic location and potential for infrastructure development and increased land values. Land values in ALI's BGC City Center development increased over 500% from 2003 to 2015, while its Arca South development saw a over 25% rise from 2013 to 2016, demonstrating how ALI has profited from rising property values through strategic land banking.
