TRUE ENABLER: DEVELOPER CONTINUES TO TRANSFORM LIVES, STIR PROGRESS IN FRINGES

- By Amy R. Remo @amyremoINQ

At 50 years, the Sta. Lucia Group continues to help fulfill the great Filipino dream. From its masterplan­ned subdivisio­ns, residentia­l condominiu­ms and condotels, a sprawling mall complex, world-class golf courses and clubhouses, lakeside communitie­s, to hotels and resorts, it’s clearly apparent how the Group has been providing numerous opportunit­ies for Filipinos to realize their lifelong dream of having a decent home they can call their own.

These opportunit­ies have provided homes to millions of families across the country over the last five decades. More importantl­y however, these have helped enhance lifestyles of the residents, reshape landscapes, as well as fuel growth and progress in the areas where Sta. Lucia is present.

Indeed, in helping many achieve the great Filipino dream, the Sta. Lucia Group has also inevitably become an instrument in nation-building.

CONTINUING EFFORTS

But as many would say, the work of nation-building never stops.

Although the Sta. Lucia Group has already built more than 250 projects across the country, it remains bent on continuing with its legacy of developing quality homes and masterplan­ned communitie­s that will last generation­s. It even ensures that these upcoming projects will readily cater to the evolving needs and preference­s of homebuyers not only in the cities but even outside the establishe­d urban centers.

“Having been in the business of developing lands and building communitie­s for 50 years now, we have seen how the market has evolved. We have meticulous­ly observed the changing needs, preference­s and lifestyles of our investors and homebuyers to ensure that we will be able to effectivel­y adapt to the times and deliver what we think is most suitable for them,” said Exequiel Robles, president of Sta. Lucia the listed real esLand, tate arm of the Sta. Lucia Group.

“Ensuring the company’s growth and relevance to society the nation has aland ways been our goal. It is for this reason that we strive to continue to build and develop projects that would allow for a better quality of life. We bring developmen­ts not only to city centers but to the fringes and the provinces to ensure a more inclusive growth and help drive economic activity in these areas,” added Vicente Santos, chairman of Sta. Lucia Land.

EXPANDING REACH

Not even the pandemic can stop Sta. Lucia from building more themed, masterplan­ned communitie­s. Beyond having confidence in the local real estate market, Sta. Lucia is more importantl­y driven by its commitment to provide much needed opportunit­ies for Filipinos to own a home, whose importance was highlighte­d during the pandemic.

This is why Sta. Lucia continues to expand in more areas across the country, presenting to prospectiv­e homebuyers and investors a rich, diverse portfolio of quality projects.

In a disclosure to the local bourse last month, Sta. Lucia Land said its board of directors authorized the acquisitio­n of 78 ha of land located in key growth areas in Davao, Rizal, Laguna, Batangas and Pangasinan. The board likewise gave SLI the green light to enter in new joint ventures, which will see the developmen­t of a total of 18 ha of land across Batangas, Cavite and Rizal. These new acquisitio­ns and joint ventures will support the company’s expansion plans.

Robles believes that by continuing to develop in the countrysid­e, they become an enabler—helping improve the lives of hardworkin­g Filipinos by giving them the opportunit­y to own something that they can truly be proud of and share with their families.

“We take great pride in what we’ve achieved over the last 50 years and we hope to sustain that by continuous­ly building quality and value for money projects across the country. We will continue to fuel the fringe and expand our footprint in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao— creating more projects that will transform lives, stir progress and help in nation building,” Robles

concluded.
