Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI) is one of the leading real estate developers in the Philippines. It is a subsidiary of Filinvest Development Corporation (FDC), which has more than 40 years of experience in real estate development. Founded by Mr. Andrew L.

By 1990, FDC expanded its products line to include the development and sale of low-cost and medium-cost housing units.
