Property developer Vista Land and
Lifescapes Inc. expects to generate P80 billion in sales from the development
of a 60-hectare mixed-use project in Sucat, Muntinlupa called Lakefront.
Vista Land Residences president
Maribeth Tolentino said in a news briefing the company generated P15 billion in
revenues over the last nine years from the development of 27 hectares of the
Lakefront community.
Tolentino said the property was
master-planned to contain 50 residential buildings, but only eight so far were
built, which were mostly mid-rise buildings and house-and-lot-projects catering
the middle-income and high-end market.
She said for the remaining 33
hectares, the company decided go slow with the development as property prices
in the area were expected to continue to rise.
“After the Bonifacio Global City and
the Food Terminal Inc., the next big property to be developed should be Sucat,”
Tolentino said.
The company said land prices in the
area more than trebled to current range of P65,000 to P75,000 per square meter
since it started developing Lakefront in 2004.
Vista Land plans to launch four
mid-rise buildings that will generate P2 billion in sales over the next two
years. It said it might also allot an
initial one hectare for the development of two office towers for lease to the
business process outsourcing industry to test the market.
Vista Land Residences corporate
planning and corporate marketing head Red Rosales said Sucat was good site for
office development as most of the BPO employees working in Makati and Bonifacio
Global City were living in Cavite and Laguna.
