Meaningful gifts that go beyond the season

Amy Remo

At one point in your life, your Christmas wish list gets edited.

The nice-to-haves begin to fall away and what remains are the decisions that actually matter. You start thinking less about what looks good now and more about what will feel right years from today. Perhaps, you’re now looking at that one big-ticket item that won’t easily fade after the holidays—something more practical, personal, and permanent.

Sta. Lucia Land has always understood that a great home is as much about its surroundings as it is about the space itself.

Ultimate splurge

A home fits exactly that bill. If you think about it, a home can be the ultimate Christmas splurge as it gives you the gift of safety, convenience, assurance, and peace of mind, which will all last long after the season ends.

If you find yourself thinking this way, you’re precisely who Sta. Lucia Land designs its communities for.

This trusted developer offers a wide range a range of homes and communities—from a portfolio of more than 300 projects nationwide—all designed for different stages of life, whether that means raising children in a safe, well-connected subdivision, choosing the flexibility of condominium living, or settling into a lifestyle defined by open spaces, golf courses, and lakeside views.

By developing communities across strategic locations and formats, Sta. Lucia Land allows buyers to choose with confidence, knowing their home today will continue to make sense for the life they are building tomorrow.

Sta. Lucia Residenze is a cluster of residential towers within a complex that also hosts a mall and offices.

Space, prestige, and longevity

Known for pioneering golf course developments in the country, Sta. Lucia has always understood that a great home is as much about its surroundings as it is about the space itself. Its golf communities are designed not simply to overlook the lush fairways, but to live alongside them where open skies and generous greens become part of everyday life.

Nowhere is this more apparent than at The Orchard Residential Estates and Golf & Country Club in Cavite. Surrounded by rolling greens and open skies, this estate offers the kind of countryside calm that’s increasingly hard to find, without needing to lose sight of long-term value.

Calm you can come home to

Sta. Lucia Land was early to the idea that calm doesn’t have to be occasional. This is why it pioneered lakeside communities, shaping villages around man-made lakes and open spaces.

One example is La Alegria Residential Estates in Silay City, Negros Occidental. Just minutes away from the airport, it offers breathing room without losing city access. It features pools, fitness spaces, and courts, while the Paradise Island at the heart of the community adds open air spaces for picnics, walks, and time by the water.

Further south, Las Colinas in Eden, Davao takes the same idea. Built around a man-made lake and a lighthouse, the community naturally draws residents outdoors. It’s the kind of place that makes fresh air part of the routine, while offering the convenience of a well-planned neighborhood.

Flexibility for modern living

For young professionals, travelers, and investors, vertical living makes sense. It offers flexibility, convenience, and adaptability without letting go of the security that comes with property ownership.

That idea is realized in Cainta, Rizal. Here, Sta. Lucia brings vertical living into full stride with Sta. Lucia Residenze, a cluster of residential towers within a complex that also hosts a mall and offices. This address places residents within a fully formed district where shopping, dining, and entertainment are steps away.

At the same time, it makes it easy for residents to go to key hubs around the metro given its transport links, including an LRT station.

The timeless Filipino dream

Admittedly, single-family homes within planned communities remain at the heart of Filipino aspirations. These emphasize neighborhood living, shared spaces, and a strong sense of belonging, which is especially meaningful during the holidays.

One example is Orchard Residences in Davao City. Designed for a fresh start, it pairs the ease of modern living with a setting that keeps nature in view, as the village has Mount Apo as part of the backdrop.

Well-positioned near landmarks such as Passig Islet, Virgin Falls, and the Tibolo Culture Village, the community offers everyday convenience without giving up the sense of space and perspective that makes coming home feel different.
