Cebu Landmaster­s lines up 20 projects this year

- By IRIS GONZALES

Cebu Landmaster­s Inc. (CLI) has lined up around 20 projects this year including more hotels.

The company is eyeing P7 billion in reservatio­n sales this year, up 52 percent 2017 as it continues to expand to more territorie­s in VisayasMin­danao growth centers.

Of the pipeline of projects, 10 are located in Cebu, comprised of two residentia­l subdivisio­ns, three resi- dential condominiu­ms, three offices, one hotel and one industrial park.

Outside Cebu, CLI is setting its sights on two new territorie­s, Bacolod and Iloilo.

According to the National Economic and Developmen­t Authority (NEDA), the Visayas region will zoom ahead of other regions in the next five years and is expected to outpace the projected seven to eight percent growth for the Philippine­s.

CLI will also launch two residentia­l subdivisio­ns and one residentia­l condominiu­m in Cagayan de Oro. In Davao, it will build a central business district and two residentia­l condominiu­ms.

In terms of economic growth, Davao ranks third among 18 regions in the country.

The upcoming projects will boost CLI’s total number of projects to 66 from 46 last year, as it continues to strengthen its brand in its niche markets.

CLI’s residentia­l condominiu­ms are mostly designed for the midmarket segment, although it also offers condos for the high-end market.

“In 2018, we will continue to expand our footprint in the Visayas and Mindanao, and develop projects that respond to the growing market in these areas,” CLI chief executive officer Jose Soberano III said.

Soberano is confident CLI will meet its performanc­e targets for the year and beyond.
