Today, 14 December 2018, DoubleDragon Properties Corp. (“DoubleDragon”, or “The Company”) Board of Directors approved the creation of international wholly-owned selling arm subsidiaries in Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, London, Italy and the USA to focus on the international pre-selling of Hotel 101 projects in the Philippines.
DoubleDragon has a strong in-house domestic sales force consisting of over fifty experienced property specialists. The Company’s new sales recorded across all projects have exceeded Php 1.90 Billion 2018 to date an increase of 142.9% year-on-year, majority of new sales delivered was attributable to Hotel 101 Fort which was well received by the market and hit a record P1.65 Billion in sales since its launch just last March 2018.
“We are particularly pleased with the performance of our recently set-up in-house sales team that has made a substantial contribution to our revenue and cashflow stream this year. The next step is to set up several more sales teams abroad in preparation for the next 4 more Hotel101 projects in Davao, Boracay, Bohol & Palawan to start pre-selling next year with over Php12.21 Billion in new inventory,” said Hannah Yulo, Chief Investment Officer of DoubleDragon.
“Hotel 101 provides the optimum balance for DoubleDragon as our offices, malls and warehouses are recurring revenue sources which start pouring in upon their respective completion, while for Hotel 101, DoubleDragon derives revenues twice- firstly, from the pre-selling of the units during the construction phase and secondly, once the projects are completed the properties start to generate recurring revenue from hotel operations,” said Edgar “Injap” Sia II, Chairman of DoubleDragon.
