BF CITI Land Corporation started out as BF Commercial and Industrial Trade, Inc., when it was incorporated in February 1977 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Philippine Shares Corporation. The company was organized primarily to handle the commercial development and operations of the BF Homes Parañaque commercial area owned by Philippine Shares Corporation.

In 1979, the real estate operations of Philippine Shares Corporation were spun off to BF Commercial and Industrial Trade, Inc. The company was then re-named BF CITI Land Corporation to emphasize its thrust and core business and immediately began an aggressive real estate development program. Through the years, BF CITI has developed specialization in tract housing within the BF Parañaque and Las Piñas area catering to the middle and upper-middle market.
