In a powerful testament to the burgeoning dynamism of the Visayas and Mindanao (VisMin) property market, Cebu Landmasters Inc. (CLI) has ignited a buying frenzy with its latest offering in Cagayan de Oro.
One Manresa Place, the premier residential beacon within CLI’s ambitious 14.6-hectare Manresa Town, didn’t just launch – it exploded onto the scene, racking up a staggering PHP 4 billion in sales within a mere 48 hours.
This electrifying momentum continued, swelling to over PHP 5 billion in just two weeks as 823 units were eagerly snapped up, painting a vivid picture of a region hungry for quality living spaces beyond the bustling confines of Metro Manila.
This isn’t just about bricks and mortar; it’s a powerful indicator of VisMin’s growing economic muscle and the increasing sophistication of its homebuyers. The speed and scale of this sell-out underscore a market that is not only robust but also increasingly comfortable with modern transaction methods.
In a region where fintech adoption is steadily climbing, the swift uptake of Cebu Landmasters’ One Manresa Place hints at a new era where digital convenience seamlessly intertwines with significant investment decisions.

For years, VisMin has been touted as the Philippines’ next frontier, and the performance of One Manresa Place offers compelling evidence. With nearly half of the nation’s significant 6.7 million housing backlog concentrated here, the demand for well-conceived and strategically positioned developments is palpable.
Cebu Landmasters’ success isn’t just about meeting a need; it’s about tapping into a deep well of aspiration and economic potential that is rapidly coming into its own.
One Manresa Place: More than just a place to reside
Nestled within the forward-thinking Manresa Town, seamlessly integrated with the future-forward Xavier University Masterson Campus, One Manresa Place offers more than just a place to reside. It promises a lifestyle – a vibrant ecosystem where education, commerce, and community converge.
The near 90% sell-out of this inaugural residential tower speaks volumes about the market’s belief in CLI’s vision and the allure of this innovative university town concept. Imagine students stepping out of their modern condos and directly onto a cutting-edge campus, with retail and office spaces just a stone’s throw away – a compelling proposition that resonates deeply with the aspirations of a new generation.
“We are energized by the overwhelming response to One Manresa Place,” beams Jose Soberano III, Chairman and CEO of Cebu Landmasters Inc. His words reflect the palpable excitement surrounding this achievement. “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 welcome residents by 2030, Cebu Landmasters’ One Manresa Place offers a diverse portfolio of living spaces, from chic studios to expansive two-bedroom havens, priced between PHP 4.6 million and PHP 18.5 million.
Each unit is a testament to contemporary urban living, bathed in natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows and featuring private balconies – spaces designed for both relaxation and connection. The flexibility of the layouts caters to a broad spectrum of residents, from students and young professionals carving out their space to growing families seeking a vibrant community.
Cebu Landmasters’ condo to foster a holistic lifestyle
But the appeal of One Manresa Place extends far beyond the individual units. Cebu Landmasters Inc. has woven a tapestry of amenities designed to foster a holistic lifestyle. Picture residents unwinding in sky gardens with breathtaking vistas, prioritizing well-being in state-of-the-art facilities, collaborating in stylish co-working spaces, or finding solace in a serene chapel.
A bustling retail podium will cater to daily needs, while a skybridge will seamlessly connect the various facets of this dynamic township. Notably, over 63% of Manresa Town is dedicated to verdant open spaces, including a protected forest zone – a commitment to sustainability that resonates with an increasingly environmentally conscious market. Green building features like rainwater harvesting and energy-efficient design further underscore this dedication.
The success of One Manresa Place is no isolated flash in the pan. It mirrors a consistent trend across CLI’s VisMin portfolio, where a remarkable 94% of residential inventory across 17 key cities has already been absorbed by eager buyers. This deep market acceptance has solidified CLI’s position as the undisputed king of VisMin residential development, a fact underscored by Colliers Philippines’ latest study, which shows their market share soaring from 15.6% to a commanding 19.3% year-on-year.
Capitalizing on this powerful momentum, CLI is strategically expanding its footprint across VisMin, with ambitious plans for residential, hospitality, and commercial ventures. Institutional giants like Insular Life and BDO have recently acquired significant stakes in CLI’s Davao Global Township, a clear vote of confidence in the region’s future.
In Cebu, landmark projects are reaching completion, while the ongoing “CLI Homefest 2025” is generating further buzz and offering exclusive opportunities to prospective buyers across seven VisMin cities. Truly, behind every home is a wonderful story.
As CLI charts its course forward, its roots remain firmly planted in the fertile ground of Visayas and Mindanao. Inspired by the resounding success of One Manresa Place and a deep understanding of the region’s evolving needs, the company is poised to continue shaping the landscape with high-quality, community-focused developments that empower Filipino homebuyers and fuel the dynamic growth of VisMin. The digital wave is here, and Cebu Landmasters is riding it to new heights.
