Clark Development Corp. said Monday it
approved another hotel project proposed by Korean property developer Punta LWA
Properties Corp.
The project is expected to add prestige
to the developer’s current portfolio, according to CDC.
CDC chairman and concurrent president
Eliseo Santiago said the new tourism project would commence with the
construction of a hotel by 2017.
Punta will develop the 4,443.23-square
meter former site of Mimosa Mart along C.M. Recto Highway corner M.A. Roxas.
The boutique hotel will have villas and
related amenities such as restaurants, coffee shop, cocktail lounges and
wellness center. The Korean firm under the agreement will develop and operate
the facilities for 25 years.
Punta also committed to employ about 50
local residents to support the operations and another 50 for the construction
of the building.
Punta, an architectural design and
construction company, has implemented several projects in other countries such
as Publicis headquarters in Paris, France.
It also handled project management such
as those of Mercure Hotel, Hado Group HQ and Hado 7 in Hanoi, Vietnam as well
as foreign architecture coordination project for Lotte Jeju Art Villas and YIBD
project both in South Korea.
CDC said it continued to grow as a
viable investment hub and a preferred site of manufacturing companies.
CDC recorded revenues of P1.6 billion in
2015, the highest net income of P697 million and highest cash position of P2.3
billion last year.
Revenues in 2013 to 2015 accounted for
28 percent of the aggregate revenues in the last 20 years, based on the annual
reports.
