Publicly listed Sta. Lucia Land Inc. (SLI) is gearing up for significant expansion in 2025, reinforcing its presence across strategic growth areas nationwide. The company has earmarked between PHP 3 billion to PHP 5 billion for capital expenditures this year, a substantial portion of which is set aside for land acquisitions in emerging hotspots such as Laguna, Batangas, Bulacan, Davao, and South Cotabato. The goal is to develop thriving, sustainable communities that offer residents a holistic lifestyle—peaceful yet conveniently close to modern amenities.
Furthermore, SLI is actively pursuing joint venture partnerships in Cavite, Iloilo, and Davao to expand existing projects and develop contiguous land parcels. Sta. Lucia Land Inc. President Exequiel Robles expressed optimism for the year ahead, stating, “We are optimistic about our prospects this 2025 as we continue to build across the country. Our targeted expansion not only diversifies our portfolio but also positions us to deliver long-term value for our stakeholders, creating inviting spaces for families and individuals seeking a higher quality of life.”
This strategic approach to expansion is anticipated to propel SLI’s revenues at a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20 to 25 percent, aligning perfectly with the company’s long-term objectives for sustained growth and shareholder value.
In another exciting development, renowned actress Bea Alonzo has renewed her contract as Sta. Lucia Land’s brand ambassador, marking her 10th year with the company. The contract signing took place on February 12 at the Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall in Cainta, Rizal, attended by President Exequiel Robles, Chairman Vicente Santos, and Alonzo herself. “I only endorse products and companies I believe in—and Sta. Lucia is one of them,” Alonzo remarked, reaffirming her trust in SLI.
Alonzo’s continued partnership emphasizes Sta. Lucia Land’s credibility and appeal among discerning investors who recognize the value in its diverse and expanding portfolio, which includes resort-themed developments, lake and golf communities, residential lots, townhouses, retail and office spaces, and condotels.
By the end of 2024, the Sta. Lucia Group, spearheaded by Sta. Lucia Land, had successfully developed over 12,000 hectares into more than 300 projects across 70 cities and municipalities. Last year, SLI allocated PHP 5.62 billion for capital expenditures, with PHP 4.5 billion directed towards project development and PHP 1.12 billion for land acquisitions, underscoring the company’s commitment to growth and confidence in the strong demand within the real estate sector.
One notable project unveiled in May 2024 was El Sitio Nativo in Nasugbu, Batangas. This exclusive coastal community, limited to just 92 lots, features a blend of Filipino, Malay, Polynesian, and Pacific architectural designs, enhanced by modern smart home features. Amenities include a swimming pool, fitness center, children’s playground, and community clubhouse, making it ideal for families seeking tranquility away from urban congestion.
Sta. Lucia Land also extended its presence in Mindanao through a partnership with ARSM Land Inc., launched in February 2024, to develop a six-hectare mixed-use community in Koronadal City, South Cotabato. This project aims to provide premium residential and commercial spaces, significantly contributing to regional economic growth.
In the hospitality arena, SLI expanded its offerings with the opening of SotoGrande Palawan in Puerto Princesa City in November 2024. Managed by Enderun Hotels, the 147-room hotel caters to both corporate and leisure travelers, boasting modern amenities and advanced function rooms, further showcasing Sta. Lucia’s versatility and commitment to excellence in real estate and hospitality.
