Cebu living: A new era

Homegrown excellence is rising higher than ever in the “Queen City of the South.”

Among the driving forces behind Visayas and Mindanao’s (VisMin’s) real estate boom is Cebu Landmasters Inc. (CLI), which takes pride of its bold innovation, sustainable communities, and lifestyle-driven developments. 

The top VisMin real estate developer proudly revealed its record-breaking 2024 financial performance at its Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, which was livestreamed across the country last 11 July in Citadines Cebu City. 

“2024 was a year of masterful innovation,” shared Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jose R. Soberano III. “As we enter 2025, we do so with clarity and confidence, ready to expand beyond our VisMin roots with our brand of homegrown excellence,” Soberano added. “Innovation is not just a goal; it is our dedication to improve our processes, better our customer experience and our promise to deliver smarter, more sustainable, and thriving communities.”

And that promise is being built right here in Cebu, featuring many outstanding developments providing a glimpse into the region’s lifestyle evolution.

Astounding, aspiring

CLI’s renowned Astra Centre is quickly becoming a lifestyle staple along AS Fortuna in Mandaue. This 1.23-hectare mixed-use complex combines form and function in one location. It includes the upscale Astra Centre Mall, which has stylish retail experiences and cinemas; Radisson RED, a bold and art-driven hotel designed for new-generation travelers; One Astra Place, a residential condominium with an infinity pool, sky deck, gym, and function rooms; and the Astra Corporate Centre, a 12-storey tower of smart office spaces designed for forward-thinking professionals.

Redefined garden living

Mivela Garden Residences aims to provide the best of both worlds for individuals who want to live in the city yet still enjoy peaceful green spaces. Nestled in Banilad, this garden-inspired neighborhood is part of CLI’s best-selling Garden Series. With lush open spaces and top-tier amenities, it’s the ideal modern hideaway that reimagines garden living — all within easy reach of Cebu’s urban necessities.

Work-life balance

In the center of Cebu, live as though you are in New York City. The busy Cebu IT Park is given a little New York flair by 38 Park Avenue. Each apartment in this 38-storey residential tower is ideally situated for expansive city vistas, providing stunning views of the skyline. Its focal point is The Plaza at Park Avenue, an open, green retail park designed for dining, shopping, and lounging in cool outdoor areas and modeled after Central Park in New York.

Practical, comfortable, efficient

Park Centrale, constructed as a starting point and as a springboard, is perfect for business owners and entrepreneurs who want to establish their expansion in a bustling city center. These carefully planned office spaces give businesses the opportunity to flourish over the long term in a dynamic setting by fusing ambition with permanency.

Life starts here

Co-living is reimagined. The lively, communal living concept that Lyf Cebu offers combines connection, teamwork, and community. Changemakers, creatives, and digital nomads can live, work, and play in one fascinating location.

Built with a green heart

The Latitude Corporate Center is honored to be the tallest office building in Cebu Business Park, standing at 24 floors. It is a sleek, contemporary office building that was thoughtfully constructed and is expected to be the first green office tower in Cebu to receive BERDE certification. Here, at the most prominent corporate address in the city, productivity and purpose come together.

French way of living

With Accor’s premium brand and the eagerly awaited opening of the Sofitel Cebu City, global luxury hospitality is also on the horizon. A “magnifique” stay that invites guests to “Live the French Way” — celebrating local culture, gastronomy, and wellness in one enhanced experience — is what the 195-room hotel promises when it formally opens in 2026.

South side of style

Casa Mira South, a stunning master-planned economic housing community set on rolling terrain 60 to 100 meters above sea level, is a testament to CLI’s dedication to provide affordable, high-quality houses. This development offers more than anticipated — wide-ranging views, clean air, and a feeling of community — with 45% open space, a spectacular entry by the highway, and three complete amenity areas.

Culture of co-living

Introducing a bold feeling of independence and community as The Pad Co-Living introduces a new co-living culture where young professionals may work together with like-minded individuals when they need to connect and mingle, share meals, hang out, and retreat when they need some downtime.
