Robinsons Land sold 1.74 billion shares in the first round of offering and another 25.995 million shares during the second round.

Robinsons Land as of the end September last year had 46 malls, 13 office developments in strategic locations and within central business districts, 16 hotel properties across three brand segments and over 100 vertical and horizontal residential properties nationwide.
Robinsons Land posted a net income of P4.57 billion in the first nine months of 2017, up 1.5 percent year-on-year, and consolidated revenues of P16.63 billion, down three percent, on the significant decline in residential sales.
