  "account": "Manila, Philippines — The leasing branch of Robinsons Land Corp., known as Robinsons Offices, led Philippine developers in office transaction volume during the second quarter, driven by pre-leasing commitments for a high-profile development. The company recorded 38,000 square meters of transactions from April to June, according to property expert CBRE Philippines. This performance surpassed other local developers, with Robinsons Offices booking 33,400 square meters for Asscher, one of the four towers in the soon-to-be-constructed The Jewel complex in EDSA. The Jewel consists of four towers, named after diamond cuts—Asscher, Trilliant, Marquise, and Peruzzi—collectively referred to as the ATMP Towers. Envisioned as an architectural landmark akin to Malaysia’s Petronas Towers and Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, The Jewel is expected to become a premier office destination. Its prime location at the corner of EDSA and Pioneer Street is attracting tenants due to its convenient access to central business districts in Bonifacio Global City, Makati, and Ortigas. CBRE's Jericho Go noted that office demand in Metro Manila is favoring newer buildings and that tenants are increasingly selective about their locations. The Jewel is projected to open its mall and first two office towers by 2028, with completion expected by 2030, contingent on market conditions. The developer promises occupier-focused features for The Jewel, such as smart elevators with destination controls, a spacious 4.2-meter floor-to-floor height, and expansive 12-meter-high office lobbies. Additionally, the project will be linked to Metro Rail Transit Line 3’s Boni Station. In the second quarter of 2025, Robinsons Offices led local developers in closing nearly 50,000 square meters in transactions, with significant contributions from GBF Center 2. The company also manages office spaces in economic zones and green-certified districts across Metro Manila and other urban areas, leasing to business process outsourcing, financial, and technology firms.",
  "summary": "The leasing arm of Robinsons Land Corp. recorded the highest office transaction volume among Philippine developers in the second quarter, thanks to a pre-leasing placement to its EDSA building.",
