Ateneo de Manila University is expanding south with a new campus in Cavite under an agreement with the Ty-led conglomerate GT Capital Holdings Inc.
The university signed a memorandum of agreement with GT Capital on October 24 for a 15-hectare site in Riverpark, a mixed-use township being developed by Federal Land Inc., GT Capital’s property subsidiary, in General Trias City.
The deal was formalized at the GT Tower International in Makati City by Ateneo president Fr. Roberto Yap, SJ and GT Capital vice chair Alfred Ty.
Ateneo said on Monday, October 27, that the Cavite campus will make its Jesuit education more accessible to students and families outside Metro Manila.
‘The new Ateneo campus in Riverpark allows us to extend our mission and provide more families in Cavite and nearby provinces with access to quality education rooted in our Jesuit tradition,’ Yap said in the statement by the university.
GT Capital, one of the country’s largest conglomerates, said the partnership reflects its effort to back long-term investments that support regional growth.
‘Ateneo’s presence in Riverpark not only strengthens the educational landscape of Cavite but also uplifts the lives of the communities we serve,’ Ty said.
Details on the timeline and academic programs of the Cavite campus have yet to be announced.
GT Capital previously reported a 34% rise in net income to P18.42 billion in the first half of 2025, driven by its automotive and banking units.
