Homegrown developer Duros Land Properties had a banner year for 2019 as it sold-out three of its projects in Cebu City and Liloan, Cebu.

This was announced by its president, Fe Mantuhac Barino during the Broker’s Appreciation Night party held in IC3 Convention Center.

In front of Cebu’s top real estate brokers and sellers, Mrs Barino, together with husband Lito Barino, the founder and chairman of Duros conglomerate announced the successful 2019 campaign that depleted the inventories of two residential subdivisions in Liloan and that of its condominium project in Lahug, Cebu City.

The Padgett Place is a 26-storey premium condominium with luxurious amenities and ultra-spacious units is located in Molave st. Lahug.

Woodland Park Residences Phase 1 in Upper Yati, Liloan, with its more than 150 units were likewise sold-out.

Another project, Bay-Ang Ridge which was launched only last December 2018 also saw its inventories wiped-out within the year.

Due to the rapid take-up of its projects, The Barino couple divulged that Duros Land has prepared an exciting line-up of new developments for 2020.

First in the list is a high-end 74-hectare lot only subdivision in the famed Lataban Hills in Barangay Lataban, Liloan. With amenities like an orchard forest, communal garden and access to Liloan Golf among others, it is certainly going to be another blockbuster in the making.

Then there’s a 20-storey residential condominium project in the highly sought-after area of Imus, Cebu City. It is conveniently located halfway between University of San Carlos and Robinsons Galleria Cebu.

Also in the company’s pipeline for next year is a midrise condotel project in Panglao, Bohol adjacent to the new international airport. It is the first Duros Land project in Boholandia and its second outside Cebu after the Gana Siargao Resort in Siargao Island.

Project Development Head Ian Mantuhac and Architect Lester Banzon both revealed that more projects are in the drawing board both inside and outside Cebu with the company’s considerable land bank.

Minore Hotel, another Duros Land project right in the heart of Cebu’s business district is also set to open in the second quarter while One Tectona Condominium in Liloan, Cebu will top-off in the third quarter, both of next year.

A busy year that was and an even busier year ahead for Duros Land Properties.

Homegrown developerDuros Land Properties Inc. is an offspring of Duros Development Corporation, an ISO certified, Triple A contractor with a reputation of uncompromising standard for quality and durability.

After gaining 25 years of solid track record in public infrastructure, the company decided to venture into real estate with Duros Land Properties.

The first undertaking was the 26-storey Padgett Place condominium in Lahug, Cebu City. It is a luxurious and low density tower with only six to eight suites per floor. A welcome addition in a market flooded with studio units that does not offer much of a space.

In its hometown of Liloan, northern Metro Cebu, the company envisioned game-changing projects for its growing landbank and just waited for the best time to implement these blueprints.

The first project was Woodland Park Residences, now a community of more than a hundred homeowners. The Duros brand of quality and workmanship was apparent in every stage of the development, so it came as no surprise that units were sold-out fast and market value is steadily increasing to this day.

Duros then consolidated its land assets and launched Northside Beacon in 2018. An audacious master-planned township encompassing five mountain barangays of Liloan.

Northside Beacon feature residential enclaves, commercial strips, an institutional complex and tourism facilities. It is anchored on two existing central amenities, the Divine Life Institute of Cebu and Liloan Golf and Leisure Estate, a par-72, 18-hole championship course with a mountain resort component in a sprawling area of more than a hundred hectares.

Membership to the golf course is exclusively limited to buyers of select projects like One Tectona.

Intended to be an active retirement zone as well as weekend home resort to rejuvenate and pamper weary city dwellers, One Tectona is a five-tower series in an area surrounded by mature hardwood trees. Nature at its best.

The first building is now under construction and slated for completion next year.

Aside from end-users, One Tectona also presents a good potential for room rental business considering the accommodation requirement of Liloan Golf for its visiting international players.

Bay-Ang Ridge, another residential enclave in Barangay Sta. Cruz with 134 housing units. Launched in December 2018 and now only a handful remain. A certified best-seller!

Next in the pipeline is a limited number of premium single-detached houses in an exclusive annex of The Woodlands Phase I. Only 18 units will be up for the taking.

In the drawing board is another upscale residential development with a commercial promenade, acedemic center, and recreational facilities.

Being finalized as well is a bold venture into the grandiose and majestic. An ultra-exclusive subdivision with minimum lot sizes of 2000 square meters. How’s that Señorito? The 65-hectare ‘Legacy Estate‘ is located not far from the golf-course and will feature tree- lined avenues and scenic round-abouts. Residents can even buy their own helicopters for utmost convenience and style.

Duros Land is also expanding its tourism foothold with the opening of Gana Siargao, a 38-room resort in Siargao island and by last quarter of this year, Minore Hotel in Mabolo will add another 40 rooms to its room portfolio.

Located beside IC3 Convention Center and Landers Superstore, Minore Hotel will be the final piece to complete the 23 Minore Park story, the defining development of Duros Land in the nucleus of Cebu City.

With innovative projects and a trusted brand, Duros Land Properties intends to stay ahead of the curve and charge forward with passion and vision.
