A significant P13.5 billion is being channeled into Cagayan de Oro, transforming the landscape with ambitious mixed-use and residential developments. This surge in investment signals a clear focus on attracting a discerning, higher-end market to the region.
The company spearheading this transformation currently has ten active projects nationwide, a testament to its aggressive expansion strategy. These projects aren’t simply buildings; they represent carefully planned communities designed to redefine modern living.
At the heart of this growth lies a commitment to what the company calls its “Gold Standards.” These principles – prioritizing green living, strategic locations, award-winning design, a solid reputation, and genuine value – are shaping every aspect of their developments.
In Cagayan de Oro, Southridge Residences is taking shape as a sprawling, lots-only subdivision with a five-year development plan. This 31-hectare project envisions a vibrant hub integrating offices, retail spaces, and leisure facilities.
Alongside Southridge, Masterson Mile North is rising as a landmark residential project, comprised of five towers and a projected 12-year completion timeline. The development will ultimately house 946 units, ranging in size from compact 32 square meters to spacious 177 square meters.
The design of Masterson Mile North is particularly noteworthy, entrusted to the renowned US-based architectural firm, Gensler and Associates. Their expertise promises a sophisticated and modern aesthetic, setting a new benchmark for residential living in the city.
Beyond Cagayan de Oro, the company is strategically investing in key regional growth areas, including Batangas, Pampanga, and Cebu. This nationwide approach underscores a belief in the Philippines’ diverse economic potential.
A total of P18 billion is dedicated to supporting these master-planned townships, residential projects – both horizontal and vertical – thriving commercial zones, and crucial infrastructure built on a foundation of sustainability and strong ESG principles.
In Batangas, Courtyards Lipa and Westwoods Heights are already establishing themselves as desirable residential addresses, spanning 10 and 12.7 hectares respectively. These developments offer a blend of comfort and convenience.
Further expanding its footprint in Batangas, the company is developing PDO Luxescapes Ibaan, a 77-hectare mixed-use township, and PDO Townscapes – The Enclave, a key component of a larger 295-hectare township in Malvar. These projects promise integrated living experiences.
Cebu and Pampanga are also witnessing significant investment, with projects like PDO Townhomes Carcar, PDO Storeys Lapu-Lapu, PDO Townsquare Cebu, and LAF Unihomes (Greige Series) catering to diverse housing needs.
This ambitious expansion is driven by Investment & Capital Corp. of the Philippines, a diversified group with a strong foundation in investment banking, venture capital, and, now, a rapidly growing real estate portfolio.
