Leading developer in Visayas and Mindanao Cebu Landmasters, Inc. (CLI), has secured an approximately 70-hectare property in Dasmariñas, Cavite, marking a major milestone in its strategic expansion into Luzon’s high-growth corridors. This strengthens CLI’s foothold beyond its core markets and sets the stage for a landmark township development in Southern Luzon.
Strategically located near Governor’s Drive and proximate to major thoroughfares including the Cavite–Laguna Expressway (CALAX), the Dasmariñas site sits within a vibrant economic corridor in CALABARZON. The area benefits from strong residential demand, improving infrastructure, and accessibility to key transport routes, as well as proximity to notable schools, hospitals, and established residential communities, positioning it well for large-scale, master-planned township development.
CLI intends to develop the property into its flagship township project in Luzon, with a predominantly residential offering across economic and mid-market segments, which is expected to generate 6,000 homes over multi-development phases. The master plan will allocate dedicated spaces for commercial, institutional, and estate facilities, designed to support a self-sustaining, integrated and sustainable community aligned with CLI’s township development expertise.
The initial phases of the township are targeted for near-term launch, with first-phase developments expected between 2027 and 2028, allowing for immediate utilization of the site and timely response to housing demand in the area.
“This milestone represents a key step in widening CLI’s reach and entering new growth markets,” said CLI chairman and CEO Jose R. Soberano III. “As we expand beyond our Visayas and Mindanao stronghold, we aim to bring CLI’s brand of service, quality, and thoughtfully planned communities to Luzon, unlocking new economic opportunities, creating jobs, and contributing to sustained regional growth while responding to the evolving needs of Filipino homebuyers.”
The Dasmariñas property forms part of CLI’s broader Luzon expansion strategy, as the company continues to prudently grow its landbank to support future project launches while maintaining discipline in capital deployment and execution. Relative to the listed company’s overall scale and current development pipeline, the transaction is not expected to materially affect CLI’s operations or financial condition in the near term.
Building on its track record, CLI, founded in 2003, has developed a diversified portfolio of 132 residential, office, hotel, mixed-use, and township projects across 18 key cities in the Visayas and Mindanao. As it expands into Luzon, CLI remains focused on delivering well-planned communities that uplift lives and contribute meaningfully to nation-building
