BENEDICTO Family, from CEMENT magnate  to REAL ESTATE developer!


Enrison Land Inc, the real estate arm of Enrison Holdings is one of the newest players in the local real estate industry, but even this early, indications are, it is going to be a major player. It’s just a matter of time.

And why not, it is after all spawned by Cebu’s cement magnate, Benedicto family, who owns FilCement Inc. (Mabuhay Brand).

The family also owns Berben Wood Industries, a renowned name in high-end furnitures and BE Resorts in Mactan and Bohol.

But their biggest advantage going into real estate lies in the substantial landbank they possess in very strategic locations in Metro Cebu.

This company is not just aggressive, it is a quick starter too, with its maiden residential project, BE RESIDENCES Lahug already under construction. It also launched just recently, BALAI in Mactan and another, BE UPTOWN in Juana Osmena coming up next.

This Cebuano company will certainly help transform Cebu’s skyline, no doubt!

Consolacion On and On and On!

The doorstep to metropolitan Cebu, the Municipality of Consolacion is at the crossroad of the urban and the rural, where the bustling meets the laidback.

Progress seems to have caught Consolacion by surprise as evident in its worsening traffic problem, agonizing northern Cebu bound motorists all the time.

A town on the verge of Cityhood and unstoppable growth, it is home to an SM City and two other malls, industrial and manufacturing complexes and an upcoming international container port.

Consolacion’s proximity to the urban core of Cebu makes it an ideal residential address as well. Local and national developers are scouring its mostly mountainous barangays for any available land to be developed.

Because of this, the town’s population has been increasing tremendously. It has more than doubled in just 15 years from the 63k in 2000 census to more than 133k in 2015.

With this trajectory, it is believed to have already crossed the population threshold of 150k, a vital requirement to become a city.

Consolacion’s growth is unstoppable, but it will have to manage it carefully so as not to hamper also the growth of its northern town neighbors.
