Sta. Lucia helps shape Davao with Ponte Verde

MANILA, Philippines - Leading developer Sta. Lucia Land, Inc. continues to apply decades of real estate experience in Metro Manila to Davao, which is now considered one of the fastest-growing cities in the world.

Sta. Lucia ranks first in terms of land area developed in Davao with 600 to 700 hectares. One of its major residential projects, the 28-hectare Ponte Verde Residential Estates, is practically a stone’s throw away 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, a joint venture with the landholding family of Dizon Farms. Rancho Palos Verdes raised the bar for Davao’s golf and country club scene by introducing the championship fairways designed by world-renowned architect Andy Dye. The all-weather course was created to be playable a mere five minutes after a heavy downpour.

For the Ponte Verde development, Sta. Lucia has master-planned 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, from 150-to 550-sqm., Ponte Verde opens a wealth of possibilities for an upgraded lifestyle

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. 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.”
