Sta. Lucia Land gears for expansion, land acquisitions this 2025
Publicly listed Sta. Lucia Land Inc. is all primed for 2025 with an expansion program seen to further strengthen its presence in key locations.
For this year, the company is eyeing to allocate around P3 billion to P5 billion for capital expenditures, part of which will be invested in land acquisitions in key emerging areas. These include Laguna, Batangas, Bulacan, Davao, and South Cotabato, where it will continue to develop vibrant, sustainable neighborhoods that offer a more holistic lifestyle away from the urban hustle but still near modern conveniences.
Additionally, it is pursuing joint venture agreements in Cavite, Iloilo, and Davao, aiming to develop contiguous lots and expand existing projects.
“We are optimistic of our prospects this 2025 as we continue to build across the country to address a growing demand for communities beyond traditional city centers. This targeted expansion not only diversifies our portfolio but also positions us to deliver long term value for our stakeholders while creating inviting spaces for families and individuals seeking a higher quality of life,” said Sta. Lucia Land Inc. president Exequiel Robles.
This strategic expansion is also expected to drive a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20 to 25 percent for its revenues, reinforcing Sta. Lucia’s long-term growth objectives.
Brand ambassador
“We’re also happy to announce that actress Bea Alonzo has renewed her contract as Sta. Lucia Land’s brand ambassador. She’s been with us for 10 years now, and this renewal is a strong indication of her faith in us and our confidence in her as our brand ambassador,” he added.
The signing of the contract was held on Wednesday (February 12) among Robles, Alonzo, her talent manager Shirley Kuan, and Sta. Lucia Land chairman Vicente Santos at the Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall in Cainta, Rizal.
Alonzo, a savvy investor herself, said she has always trusted Sta. Lucia Land, with her first investments as an artist made with the company.
“I only endorse products and companies I believe in—and Sta. Lucia is one of them,” she said.
Alonzo’s continued partnership with Sta. Lucia Land highlights the company’s credibility and appeal among discerning investors, who continue to see the value of the company’s growing portfolio of developments comprising resort-themed developments, lake and golf communities, lots, townhouses, retail and office spaces, and condotels among others.
Robust demand, expansions
As of end 2024, the Sta. Lucia Group led by publicly listed Sta Lucia Land has already developed over 12,000 hectares into more than 300 projects across 70 cities and municipalities. During that period, Sta. Lucia Land allocated P5.62 billion for capital expenditures, with P4.5 billion dedicated to project development and P1.12 billion earmarked for land acquisitions.
This investment strategy highlighted the company’s focus on growth and its confidence in the robust demand within the real estate sector.
Last year, Sta. Lucia unveiled El Sitio Nativo an exclusive coastal community in Nasugbu, Batangas that offers 92 lots. It also partnered with ARSM Land Inc. to develop a 6-ha mixed-use community in Koronadal City, South Cotabato. In the hospitality sector, Sta. Lucia opened SotoGrande Palawan, a 147-room hotel in Puerto Princesa City.
