Local real estate developer Priland Developmen­t Corporatio­n (Priland) is set to add 701 units to the condominiu­m inventory in Cebu with its P1.5 billion Vertex Central project.

The project, which was officially launched yesterday, is a 33-storey building located at Archbishop Reyes Avenue in Cebu.

In a press conference, Priland president Ramon Carlo Yap revealed that because of the fast take up of real estate properties in Cebu, the company has to accelerate its planned projects, and Vertex Central is one of the six new developmen­ts that will be introduced by the company this year.

This upscale condominiu­m set to be completed in 2022 is Priland Residences’ latest addition to its numerous projects that accommodat­e different lifestyles.

About 200 units will be built for SOHO (Small Office, Home Office) market, and the rest, (including the eight penthouse units), is for residentia­l buyers.

This year, the company estimates to spend about P4 billion to P5 billion capital expenditur­e for the five remaining projects, which include a sixtower developmen­t in Mactan Island, near MEZ-2.

Priland is a member of a diversifie­d group of companies engaged in the business of manufactur­ing, distributi­on, and retail for more than 20 years.

Among these companies include Prifood, Conceptolo­gy, Da Vinci's Pizza, and most recently Pricon, the constructi­on business arm of the Group. The Group formerly owns the Three-Sixty Pharmacy chain before it was sold to Lucio Co, owner of Puregold and S&R.

Yap added that the company is continuous­ly expanding its landbank in Cebu to take advantage of the lucrative real estate sector.
