Rizal at 124: A homegrown hub for growth

Rizal Province, long regarded as Metro Manila’s flourishing neighbor to the east, marks its 124th founding anniversary this June—a fitting moment to highlight its steady rise as a center for culture, tourism, and real estate investment.

Recently hailed by the Department of Trade and Industry as the Philippines’ most competitive province for the ninth consecutive year, Rizal continues to attract attention for its balanced growth. Its appeal lies in its mix of natural wonders, like the Masungi Georeserve and Pililla Wind Farms, and rich cultural landmarks such as Antipolo Cathedral and the Angono Petroglyphs.

The province’s accessibility and expanding infrastructure have also made it a preferred address for property seekers looking for countryside calm with urban convenience. Among the developers that have helped shape this vision is Sta. Lucia Land.

With over 61 developments across Riza, ranging from residential villages to resort-style communities, Sta. Lucia has built more than just projects. It has built roots.

“We are one with the Rizaleños in celebrating the 124th Founding Anniversary of the province. Rizal is an important piece of the Sta. Lucia Land company. It is what we consider our true home and our roots, which would always influence and inspire us. As we continue our real estate service to the people, we will continue to be at the forefront of the trends in the marke,t especially with the introduction of new government infrastructure projects,” Sta. Lucia President Mr. Exequiel Robles shared.

Among its standout projects is Sta. Lucia Residenze, a five-tower condotel community in Cainta. With direct access to Sta. Lucia Mall and LRT-2’s Marikina-Pasig station, the development offers both short-term stays and permanent residences. The Monte Carlo and Santorini towers are now open, while units in the Madrid Tower are available for investment.

In Baras, Palo Alto Leisure Farms and Residences blends lush greenery with low-density living—a peaceful retreat with a community clubhouse and panoramic views. Meanwhile, Alta Monte Residential Estates in Pililla offers a nature-focused enclave beside the iconic wind farm, appealing to those seeking active outdoor lifestyles.

As Rizal looks ahead to its next chapter, developers like Sta. Lucia Land remain firmly planted, growing with the province, and shaping its future from the ground up.
