Sta. Lucia Group enters 51st year on optimistic note

Sta. Lucia Group enters its 51st year in 2022 looking forward to further expanding its real estate offerings not just in city centers but in the fringes.

Sta. Lucia Land, the listed real estate arm of the Sta. Lucia Group, in 2021 approved new residential projects and expansion projects that would be undertaken by the company.

For land acquisitions, 146.21 hectares located in Rizal, Pangasinan, Batangas, Laguna, Iloilo, Cotabato and Davao have been set.

Another 288.2 hectares located nationwide in Batangas, Laguna, Rizal, Cavite, Bulacan and Davao are up for joint venture.

All projects are residential community horizontal projects.

“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,” said Exequiel Robles, president of SLI.

The Sta. Lucia Group, led by publicly listed SLI, has seen the highs and lows of the real estate industry, the cyclical changes in the economy, and the continuing transformations of consumer needs, tastes and preferences.

Over the last 50 years, the Group has managed to thrive despite the economic boom-and-bust cycles and political upheavals, as seen in its growing portfolio of offerings that now includes lakeside communities, master-planned subdivisions, world class golf courses, condominiums, hotels and resorts, a mall complex and an office building.

While prudent fiscal management and sound strategies have played a key role in its continuing success, being “customer-centric”—knowing and anticipating the needs of its customers—allowed it to be a pioneer and to remain one of the most established players in the Philippine real estate industry today.

“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 Robles.

With more than 250 projects across the country, the Group has been a reliable partner of homebuyers by enabling them to realize their dream of owning a home; investors, by providing quality projects to beef up their investment portfolio; and of the nation, given real estate’s significant multiplier effects.
