CLI to open new lifestyle mall by early 2025

CEBU, Philippines — Publicly listed Cebu Landmasters, Inc. (CLI) has announced the opening of its new lifestyle mall on A.S. Fortuna Street, Mandaue City, scheduled for early 2025.

Called Astra Lifestyle Centre, this is so far the biggest retail concept project developed by CLI, along with its array of residential, hospitality, office, and commercial developments.

“We are excited for the full opening of Astra Lifestyle Centre in early 2025. It’s CLI’s second mixed-use development in Cebu that is envisioned to give Cebuanos a new exclusive retail experience,” said Franco Soberano, CLI Senior Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer (COO).

“We put a lot of effort in its sustainable design and the selection of only the best dining, wellness, and lifestyle options to be available in Astra Lifestyle Center,” Soberano added.

Situated in Mandaue City’s lifestyle avenue A.S. Fortuna Street, Astra Lifestyle Centre is set to attract Cebuanos who prefer to socialize away from the usual mall crowd, providing a unique and exclusive setting that enables guests to relax and enjoy.

Seen to elevate the lifestyle destination portfolio in Metro Cebu, the Astra Lifestyle Centre is part of CLI’s 1.23-hectare Astra Centre, which is designed to promote an integrated and dynamic lifestyle where residents and visitors can live, work, and thrive all in one place.

Astra Centre is CLI’s flagship mixed-use project in Cebu that features sustainable green designs, having been awarded a four-star accreditation under the Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE) system.

The mixed-use development is comprised of four major components, namely: One Astra Place, a two-tower residential condominium with a full range of amenities that will commence turnovers by the fourth quarter of this year; Astra Corporate Center, an office tower with spaces designed to be flexible and conducive to productivity in a first-class corporate environment;  Radisson Red Cebu, the first in the Philippines, will offer a unique concept that appeals to tech-savvy travelers, looking for more unique, stylish hotel experiences that revolve around art, music and fashion; and Astra Lifestyle Centre.

The second level is dedicated to national and local retail brands featuring artisan food shops, fitness, and kid’s recreation. While the third level will showcase its amphitheater for events. — (FREEMAN)
