Cebu Landmasters Inc. (CLI) underscores the growing strength of the VisMin real estate market with the near sell-out of One Manresa Place, its newest premier residential project in Cagayan de Oro (CDO). The project earned PHP 4 billion during its two-day launch event and reached over PHP 5 billion in sales or 823 units sold within just two weeks, highlighting a sustained appetite for high-value residential offerings outside Metro Manila.

| One Manresa Place is situated in Manresa Town, a 14.6-hectare vibrant university township development seamlessly connected with Xavier University Masterson Campus (dubbed as “Campus of the Future”) and Uptown CDO. |
VisMin real estate demand remains strong, with nearly half of the country’s 6.7 million housing backlog concentrated in the region, reflecting robust market needs and signaling its continued rise as a hotspot for investment and economic development in the country.
One Manresa Place, the first residential tower within the 14.6-hectare Manresa Town, is nearly 90% sold, reflecting strong market confidence in CLI’s new township development in Northern Mindanao. Designed for best-in-class uptown living, this three-tower development is integrated with the new Xavier University Masterson Campus (dubbed as “Campus of the Future”), offering students convenient residential options and easy access to commercial and office spaces. The university town concept fosters synergies that benefit both Xavier University and the surrounding uptown CDO community.
“We are energized by the overwhelming response to One Manresa Place,” said CLI Chairman and CEO Jose Soberano III. “This affirms the region’s readiness for more high-value developments, proving that demand in VisMin remains strong and underserved. It reinforces our strategy of building thoughtfully planned communities in key cities that are ripe for growth and long-term value creation.”
Set to be completed in 2030, One Manresa Place has studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units tailored to contemporary urban living. Studio units cost from PHP 4.6 million to PHP7 million, one-bedroom units from PHP 5.6 million to PHP 12.8 million, and two-bedroom units from PHP 16 million to PHP 18.5 million. The units all have floor-to-ceiling windows, private balconies, and flexible spaces to attract a wide range of tenants and buyers, including students, professionals, and families.

The development also showcases CLI’s hallmark of sustainable and community-centered living, featuring sky gardens, wellness facilities, co-working spaces, a chapel, retail podium, and a skybridge that links key township areas. Over 63% of the township is dedicated to open spaces, including a protected forest zone, alongside green building features such as rainwater harvesting systems and energy-efficient design.
The strong performance of One Manresa Place mirrors a broader trend across CLI’s VisMin portfolio, where residential projects in various stages of development across 17 key cities in the region are already 94% sold out. This reflects sustained demand and deep market acceptance of CLI’s offerings. According to Colliers Philippines’ 2024 Real Estate Market Study, CLI continues to strengthen its position as the #1 residential developer in Visayas and Mindanao, with its market share rising from 15.6% to 19.3% year-on-year, outpacing national competitors.
To meet the growing demand, CLI is ramping up expansion plans in key VisMin cities for residential, hospitality and commercial projects. In Davao, institutional buyers such as Insular Life and BDO have recently acquired lots in CLI’s Davao Global Township, signaling continued investor confidence. In Cebu, landmark projects such as Masters Tower Cebu and Sofitel Cebu City have recently topped off. Meanwhile, CLI Homefest 2025, the company’s flagship sales event, is currently ongoing in seven VisMin cities, offering buyers exclusive deals.
As CLI continues to expand, it remains firmly rooted in its core markets, where growth potential remains high and there is real demand to be fulfilled. Inspired by the performance of One Manresa Place and its successful track record, the company is poised to introduce more high-quality, community-focused developments that address the evolving needs of Filipinos and investors alike.
