Leading developer Sta. Lucia Land, Inc. continues to apply its decades of extensive real estate experience in Metro Manila to the burgeoning Mindanao region, initially in Davao which is now considered one of the biggest and fastest-growing cities in the world.
Sta. Lucia ranks first in terms of land area developed in Davao, comprising about 600 to 700 hectares. One of its major residential projects, the 28-hectare Ponte Verde Residential Estates, is practically a stone’s throw from Davao International Airport, in Barangay Sasa and Communal, Diversion Road, Buhangin District. Investor confidence is bolstering commercial expansion within the strategic area and nearby towns, driving steady increase in property values. This means that residents of Ponte Verde can live it up at the center of the urban experience, and still take joy in the serenity and prestige of being nestled in an exclusive community.
“We’ve come up with another major high-end project in Ponte Verde. Davao has been good to us and we hope to continue serving that market,” says Sta. Lucia President Exequiel Robles.
The company made a strong debut in the area in 1997, with a residential-golf community development joint venture with the landholding family of Dizon Farms. Rancho Palos Verdes raised the bar for Davao’s golf and country club scene at the time by introducing the championship fairways designed by world-renowned architect Andy Dye. The all-weather course was created to be playable a mere 5-minutes after a heavy downpour.
For the Ponte Verde development, Sta. Lucia has masterplanned a neighborhood with a landscaped entrance gate with guardhouse, wide concrete road network, underground storm drainage system, and tall trees lined up along the roads. The centerpiece in this tranquil environment is the clubhouse, designed to be the ultimate one-stop leisure hub where community members can delight in exclusive amenities like the swimming pool, basketball court, and function rooms.
By offering residential and commercial lots sized from 150 to 550 sq. meters, Ponte Verde opens a wealth of possibilities for a market ready for an upgraded lifestyle but dislikes congestion that is common to our country’s megacities. “Davaoeños like their city to be developed minus the ills that plague most city centers,” Robles explains.
“What happened with our Ponte Verde, being right in front of Davao International Airport, is that people were eagerly awaiting its opening. They kept on asking when the lots will be available for sale. The same thing happened to our golf community of Rancho Palos Verdes, which drew in investors as soon as it opened. In fact, when we launched Ponte Verde in 2013, immediately on launch day, we were able to sell half of the property.”
Sta. Lucia’s other ongoing projects in Davao include Riverfront Corporate City, South Pacific, Altea, Ciudades, Las Palmas, Valle Verde, and South Grove. It is also planning for expansion in General Santos and Cagayan de Oro cities.
According to Mr. Robles, big developers from Metro Manila have all come to Davao and are starting to build condominiums in the area. But Sta. Lucia remains focused on the subdivision niche market, contributing to the shaping of the residential landscape in the city: “We’ve established our name in Davao so we’re okay,” says Robles. “And I love the place so I am personally pushing for projects that help make the place more progressive but truly livable.”
