Government monetizes underused Makati property for P1 billion

The Department of Finance (DOF) finalized the sale of 24 condominium units and 21 parking spaces in the decades-old Atrium of Makati, a low-rise Brutalist building along Makati Avenue, to Sanpiro Realty Development Corporation.The transaction generated P1 billion for the government, contributing to the Privatization and Management Office (PMO) collections reaching P1.87 billion in the first half of 2026—matching the full-year 2025 collections and surpassing the 2026 target by 2.5 times.Finance Secretary Frederick Go emphasized the sale as part of efforts to convert idle government assets into revenue for public spending.The Atrium, built in the 1980s, is notable for its heavy concrete exterior and proximity to modern skyscrapers like the Zuellig Building.
