Four-star hotel set to rise on Limketkai property (http://www.bworldonline.com/BW031408/content.php?id=042)

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — Limketkai Sons, Inc. will start construction of a 21-storey, 250-room hotel complex within the year in the company’s 30-hectare commercial complex in this city’s Lapasan district.

http://www.bworldonline.com/BW031408/limketkaimall.jpg
The Limketkai commercial center is considered the leading shopping center in the city since it is the most accessible and most complete in Northern Mindanao.

Alfonso Y. Lim, chief executive officer of the company, said the hotel project would cost roughly P700 million and is expected to be completed by 2010.

The hotel will be the tallest structure in Mindanao, and will have a four-star classification. The hotel complex will have the usual amenities and facilities such as a ballroom, a function room, a coffee shop, and a swimming pool.

It will rise on the west side of the Limketkai commercial complex between the company’s proposed Gateway building on the national highway and Rosario Strip, an upscale area near Robinsons Big R Super Center that hosts boutiques, wellness centers, coffee shops and restaurants.

The Limketkai Group, which is also into agribusiness, is controlled by the Lim family based here.

City Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula, who earlier commended local businessmen for laying out their investment plans in the city this year, praised the Lims’ hotel project. The mayor has made it a priority to boost the tourism.

Mr. Lim said the hotel will cater to businessmen as well as tourists. When asked if it will compete with the Mallberry Suites business hotel, which is adjacent to the Robinsons mall, Mr. Lim said the new hotel would complement the existing hotel’s operations.

The city has a number of major hotels aside from Mallberry, such as Pryce Plaza, Koresco, and Dynasty Court, catering to as many as 300,000 tourists arriving annually. Koresco Hotel, which was built by Korean investors, serves mainly Korean visitors.

In an interview with BusinessWorld late last year, Mr. Lim said Limketkai Sons, Inc. will convert its property in Lapasan district into the city’s new central business district. The plan includes the new Gateway building on the national highway, the new hotel, and an elevated walkway that connects buildings in the area.

YEY! for twin towers :D :okay:

boju2,


thanks for making this thread. you deserve all the kudos!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- WUHOOO! Thank you so much for posting.. God Speed!!

wow! so this will be the tallest building in Mindanao huh? :banana:

This will be the first 20+ storey in Mindanao, right? Congrats!

isnt there suppose to be a hall or bar just beside the LKK hotel?

I did not expect it is a twin tower...

Pretty much like City Land type of designs...

I did not expect it is a twin tower...

same here, one of my contact said that the building design is a C-shape facing MPSC base on the rendering that he saw at LKK office.

wow this is great! the 1st hi-rise in CDO, and it's twin, and they're 21-storey! wa man gi-alang-alang. at least naa sad ko future picturan when I visit my 2nd home!

this is freakin' awesome. the mighty Goddess finally awaken! viva CDO! viva LKK! :master:

The start of highrises over 20 storeys in CDO. P700 million, I think is not enough for a 4 star class 21 storey twin tower.

^^

Maybe P700 million for each building? (Excluding the finishing touches, fixtures, landscaping, etc.)

The two towers indeed look too close to each other.

Perhaps the final design would look like this if viewed from top.

congratz CdO.........

congrats to all of us jmok, signs lang ito na kapanti ang mga businessmen dito sa atin at puwedi rin mangyari yan kahit saan dito sa pinas. :banana:

ala-city land nga yung design.. sana hindi ganyan ang kulay.. ang init tingnan..

parang winland condominiums of cebu na may kulay, imo :)

^ Actually, the color scheme reminds me of Crown Regency Mactan

I actually don't like the design but anyway what's important is that there's now a catalyst for future highrise developments in Limketkai.

Diba there was also another proposal before for a highrise hotel or mao na ni siya?


...

sana yung ground floor may mga coffee shops like starbucks, coffee bean, at figaro. kahit isa lang sa kanila... tulad ng sa regency sa cebu, may starbucks... please... for coffee lovers like me...

congrats to CdO!!!! :applause:

^^ WOW!!!!! Twin towers... This is nice... The south is definitely a place to watch.. Question lang po, two 21 story buildings with a total of 200+ rooms or each ?? Dont you think konti lang ang rooms condsidering a very huge building and two towers pa..

Anyway, congratz to CdO

^^Baka single row of rooms lang siguro yan in every floor. :) 16 floors (floors with rooms visible) times 9 (visible columns that divide each rooms) equals 144 then times 2 buildings is 288 rooms. Medyo lumagpas pa nga sa 250 rooms sa sinabi sa news.

cagayan de oro is booming,congrats

Actually, there are another 3 proposed hi-rise hotels outside LKK Business Park, according to official press release last year.

Anyway, congrats @boju for starting the thread. Now you have my hug. :hug:

congrats CDO! 21 storeys for the 21st century!

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll56/rusteel/lkktwintowers.gif

Wow..congrats CDO! :)

There are rumors that Sofitel will operate this hotel, maybe the Waterfront or the they (LKK) themselve. Wait and see nalang tayo. The higher bidder could win to operate.

comment ko lang sa cost:

most developers don't disclose the real cost of their projects. mas malaki ang dinidisclose na cost, mas malaki ang hinihingi ng city hall to approve the project.

^^WOW! bigtime project this time for CDO...:cheers:

comment ko lang sa cost:

yup...

I think ginawa yung billboard to depict a P700 M hotel....two (2) 21-storey buildings will definitely cost much higher. Not much architecture showcase but simple just to show the plan of putting up the project. LKK and Sons, Inc. have always been low-key philanthropists. I'm pretty sure there's a better rendering of the hotel made using CAD. If they hired a low-key but good architect firm in Gozar Planners and Architects (low-key nga ba?:nuts:) for their Mall Redevelopment and Gateway Project, I believe they hired one good for their first hotel venture.
:banana:

o baka naman the 700M is for the buildings alone.. at yung furnishing and interiors, di pa kasali kasi ang hotel operator ang gagastos dun diba?

Congratz CDeo! may you have more highrises to come.

i hope to hear 2 more(above 15 storey) within this year.. :D

The design of the building reminds me of a Chinese Temple.

Lim Ket Kai Hotel or Palace of the Four Golden Horses Hotel would do.

definitely, Limketkai will not operate this hotel coz wala naman silang background sa hotel industry. Siguro Sofitel nga or Waterfront since sila naman yung keen mag invest sa CDO.

I'm afraid it's Sofitel. :colgate:

^ It's possible that the ACCOR group will manage the said hotel but certainly they will not use the Sofitel brand since Sofitel is a 5 star hotel. Take note that the ACCOR group operates several hotel brands in different classification and one of them is Sofitel. :)

choose the brand from Accor Group:
Sofitel
Pullman
Grand Mercure
Novotel
Mercure
All Seasons
Ibis
Formule

i think someone mentioned here in SSC -- 4 Seasons?...so would that be All Seasons Hotel

^^That's sure, it can be All Seasons hotel :D

For reference:

http://www.accor.com/gb/images/groupe/dev_hotelier/schema_developpement.gif

meron na bang 4-star na economy class hotel?

the star system (5-star, 4-star etc.) is no longer officially used in hotel classification. For a while they refered to the top of the line as "deluxe", then "first class", "standard", "economy" and "tourist inn" down the line. I'm not sure if this set of references is still internationally used in the hotel classification system.

The good news is that CdeO will have skyscrapers in the near future. CdeO in this 2nd largest island has now a big slice of cake too. :cheers:

Moderator's Note: But still, you can't call it the tallest building as it hasn't been built yet. ;)

"will soon to be" the tallest. There is a big difference between "the tallest" and "will soon to be the tallest" present tense kasi yong "the tallest" you are referring to an object na nan dyan na.. which is hindi panga na tapos. :) no negative meant yong comment ko about it..

actually it is doable. Ritzcarlton is a subsidiary of Marriott and the country has it in Cebu and soon in Pasay. but nonetheless, this would be one of the next big thing in Philippine tourism:)

Why not make our own brand that would be at par with Ritz Carlton? The Lims can spearhead it.

They can manage this hotel by creating a new hotel brand just as Waterfront Hotels was created when local investors first built a hotel in Mactan.

If the venture will be successful, they can then continue to build more hotels not just in CDO but in other places as well under this new homegrown hotel brand. Hehe.

sana sila mag-operate ng LKK Hotel, at least Swiss standard. thanks Alingatong for the pic.

baka nga sila mag ooperate..kasi 2010 din ang nasa pr ng limketkai right?

i'm happy na may ganitong project ang CdO and for a first, these towers are more than okay.

but, i don't think Palafox did the design because it doesn't look like a Palafox.

Limketkai Sons Fasttracks 4-Star Hotel Complex In Philippines
MANILA, May 16 Asia Pulse - Limketkai Sons, Inc. fast tracked the construction of the 250-room hotel complex in the company's 30-hectares commercial complex in Cagayan de Oro City.

Alfonso Lim, chief executive officer (CEO of Limketkai Sons, Inc, said the hotel project cost is roughly P700 million (US$16.7 million) and is expected to be completed by 2010.

Lim said the hotel rises on the west side of the Limketkai commercial complex between the proposed Gateway building on the national highways and Rosario strip, an upscale area near Robinsons Big R Super Center that houses boutiques, wellness centers, coffee shops and restaurants.

The hotel will be the tallest structure in Mindanao. It will have a four-star classification, Lim said.

It will have the usual facilities that can be seen in one of the hotels such as ballroom, a function room, a coffee shop and a swimming pool, Lim added.

City Mayor Constantino Jaraula praised Lim's hotel project.

Jaraula has made it a priority to boost the tourism industry.

Lim said that the hotel will cater to business as well as tourists and will complement the existing hotels operations.

The city has a number of major hotels aside from Mallberry, such as Pryce Plaza, Koresco, and Dynasty Court, catering to as many as 350,000 tourists arriving annually.

Limketkai Group, which is also into agribusiness is controlled by the Lim family.

Lim said the company will convert its property in Lapasan district into the citys new central business district.

The plan includes the new Gateway building on the national highway, the new hotel, and an elevated walkway that connects the buildings in the area, Lim said.

i really thought that Sofitel would manage the LKK hotel. even if Swiss-Belhotel will manage the LKK hotel, i still like it since the two names are known internationally and are internationally competitive. :banana: :banana: :) :lol: :lol:

i also thought that this hotel project is a partnership between LKK group and Kuok Group (developers of the Shangrila Hotels & Resorts). Well, whoever will operate it, it's great news for CDO and Mindanao :)

LKK and Kuok Group first partnered in 1997-1998 for a 14-storey Limketkai Trade Center Tower in the same site but was shelved because of the economic crisis in that year.

Wow! I cant wait to see this twin high-rise on the serene Cagayan de Oro skyline!

Wow! I cant wait to see this twin high-rise on the serene Cagayan de Oro skyline!


neither can i. i cant wait to see them since these twin towers will boost CdeO's tourism industry. in a way, i think this project will augment the koreans' population in the city. :cheers: :cheers:^^

Ang ganda siguro nito pagnatapos na!!! Wow.

will it be the tallest in mindanao?? sana di n lng twin towers.. ginawa n lng sana nlang 30+ floors.. para hirap i-beat..

thats what i thought too. they should have made it into a single 42 storey structure instead of dividing them into two. still, i cannot argue with the LKK management because they may have their own reason/reasons for having a twin tower structure :banana: :banana::)

IMO mas ok ang twin tower. at least hindi lang isa ang skyscraper ng CDO but 2 agad. :lol: excited na rin ako matapos tong LKK towers, it will change CDOs skyline. :cheers:

not to mention one 16-storey (somewhere down south), another one with 17-storeys (somewhere east) and ... di pa kasama yung previous proposals earlier announced by VYE many months back...:banana:

and the one near the Kagay-an bridge.. :D

^^uy mga friends, kindly pm me naman please? :lol:

^^ ayaw namin e PM.. ehehehe

east would be going to Bugo and by south you mean going to Indahag. can you be more specific? i have to admit i havent heard of these new developments before aside, of course, from what vice mayor said a while back. :banana::booze::applause:

and the one near the Kagay-an bridge.. :D

i really hate suprises. kindly tell me naman o! :nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

@guys: how true is it that engineers/builders before tend to chicken-feet in building high-rises downtown of CdeO due to the city's geographical attributes: deep bedrock and soft land formation (daghan daw tubig inig kalut na...)? but looking at reclamation areas in manila and cebu, how come they can build high rises on these fake lands? thus it makes sense siguro to settle on the point that it's the budget and the technology that jump-start a high rise project (and not the soil on where the high-rise would stand should get in the way of its construction). and to think, The Burj in Dubai practically stands on sand! whew!

talking about 40+F highrises in LKK instead of twin towers, that should be way exciting! but i'd still prefer twin towers.... mura dayon WTC Towers in New York!

anything is possible if you have the money :cheers:

IMO its not that its impossible, anything is "almost" possible naman..sometimes lang, there are conditions (like soft soil) na a tall building would mean more expense than on usual/ideal conditions. So if the demand/need isnt that high/urgent to justify the extra cost, the tendency would be to cut down on the height :)

take for example Marco Polo in Davao, it was built at the height of the Asian Financial Crisis diba? my GF's structural eng'g teacher told them daw na it was supposed to be 23 storeys tall but the structural engineers had problems with the soil and that pushing through with the planned 23 storeys would be more expensive than the normal 23 storey building because of the extra cost sa foundations etc. so what they did was to maximize the height possible without the extra cost sa foundation so ang ending ay 18 storeys

A perfect example would be 2 IFC building in Hongkong which is 88 storeys high.

Practically, it's built in the "sea" because the developers reclaimed land just to build this building.

What makes this building amazing is that the central subway station is located beneath the building; aside from that there's also a shopping mall.. so meaning there are many levels below the building.

Nothing is really impossible, it all depends on money, hehehehe..

//

Ayos twin towers:)

so far, there werent any reports that the LKK managment would revise their plan of making the edifices lower than 21 storeys. so, i guess the plan is still 21 storeys and still going to be twin towers.

i really hate suprises. kindly tell me naman o! :nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

me too! thanks!

page 1-2 of this thread.. just a question, for a 21-storey building to be constructed, shouldnt they be using a crane instead of lumbers? but if this is just for preparatory purposes for its construction, then maybe CDO should be expecting a crane to rise very soon in that area.. :)

they're still in the first phase but you can take a look at page six of this thread and you'll see some of the cranes. the huge cranes your referring to will only be used once they're in the tenth up to the last floor.

so can we see the erection of this hotel come december( i read it will be constructed at 4th qrt. of the year) ? this is a legit question, SSC as a whole deserve a legit answer too.:cheers:

before, the LKK hotel was just a rumor. the good thing about rumors is that theyre sometimes true.



newspaper institutions dont lie. the Vice Mayor wouldnt make an annoucement if he wouldnt base it on facts. our vice mayor always stick to the facts and figures.

^^i disagree w/ your statement " newspaper institution don't lie " , we now all know they(national & local) lost "faces" just to have scope, i'm not saying LKK is paying media to do that. what i meanv majority of media cannot be trusted anymore
i hope this project will come in to fruition, but i still can't find a connection of a local politician dipping his hand in this projects which is solely owned by a private individual or i guess he has a stake on this project too.

^^im also hoping that it will push through (weather you like it or not - according to Erap). :lol: but i believe in LKKs capabilities, building the 1st mall outside Metro Manila (early 90s) thats a feat no one can argue. :banana:

neyo: condolence na-ban ka na pala. but congrats din resurrected ulit, peace!

you know hindi ito against ako sa project na ito but we all know if a thread is on top may latest na balita or photos to show the progress of the project not only for forumers but visitors too , alam ko marami mag duda sa akin but this for your & CDOs own good .peace.

^^ guys i have a credible source that those planned hotel(s) will start construction together with hanjin.. so pray hanjin will pursue. :ohno:

^^ bat naman dependent sa hanjin? anyway, parang ito ang swiss belhotel? and yung mga project ng swiss belhotel sa ibang lugar eh on track naman so i think this one is on track for 2010 too :)

^^ actually big source of income yong hanjin for those hotels.. however news for LKK hotel will start after Gateway expansion is done. more likely hindi lahat nga planned hotels will pursue if hanjin will not continue. like said before.. parang domino effect kasi yong hanjin.

^^ guys i have a credible source that those planned hotel(s) will start construction together with hanjin.. so pray hanjin will pursue. :ohno:

no.. don't say that...
the hotels will be constructed with or without Hanjin.
what does Hanjin have to do with the hotels....
they'll be employing most welders... I don't think those welders will be the hotel occupants.

as for the staffs and ranking supervisors... Hanjin will put up their own staff houses & quarters.

the ketkai hotel was planned beacuse of the constant shortage of hotel rooms during convention time in CDO... and even at times na walang convention...
when I'm in town... I usually end up paying for a little bit more pricey room. yong mga business man's favorite room rates are usually occupied na.

^^ I dint say all "planned" hotels will not be constructed if hanjin back out, of course cdo's tourism industry is growing .. what i'm trying to say is hanjin as a "barometer". Hanjin staff house will not cater short time company visitors ... It's so hard to explain but will see and wait.. :)

^^For me Hanjin investment can augment the startup of the hotel construction aside from tourism factor. Reason is good business / investment climate in the region.:)

i just dont get it... why cant people just be supportive? :ohno:

i mean if we build some amazing skyscraper in gensan, i wpuld be as happy as if it were beuilt in my hometown. people here are too tribal... sheesh! those twin towers however ugly some of you think they maybe, are a sign of progress in that part of mindanao, i can see mocking in the threads, classic sign of crab mentality, yes, you know who you are dude.

ano ba nagawa ng Cagayan de Oro to deserve such? our is beaitiful, and those teon towers will be our crowning glory! more things are to come, those are just the start! if anyone goes to cdeo, they could feel it in the atmosphere! :D

so please let us support each other, yes, being young makes me a bit idealistic, rather than being old and BITTER!

OT: @Ph ano po yung nabanggit mong Gateway expansion? is that another mall or just an annex/extension of LKK mall?

^^For me Hanjin investment can augment the startup of the hotel construction aside from tourism factor. Reason is good business / investment climate in the region.:)


hanjin will push through because MisOr will be there base in Normin. MisOr is accessible to: Zamboanga Peninsula in the west; Caraga region in the east; Cebu province in the north and Davao region in the south


^^:)

OT: @Ph ano po yung nabanggit mong Gateway expansion? is that another mall or just an annex/extension of LKK mall?

The Gateway is an annex mall of LKK center in the north along CM. Recto Avenue. It will be connected to the main mall via skypark. It is design for 24/7 mall. The same block that this twin tower hotel to be constructed.

Please see the illustration below.

^^Yang model na yan (LKK masterplanned) got by @Ex!le about 2 years ago if I'm not mistaken. Matagal na talagang nakaplano ang mga highrises sa LKK. Inaantay lang nila ang magandang ekonomiya.

thanks bai Boju, ok pala yan 24/7. future tambayan ng mga night owls AKA vampire Kagay-anons. hehe jk lang po. :lol:

enyweys, maganda yung pagkaka layout ng LKK Center. future business district of CDO and recreation na rin. :cheers:

LimKetKai Center will be like a city within a city when everything materializes within its premises! And it does look like the Ayala Center in Makati where at the very hub of hotels and business headquarters is a sprawling mall!

Allow me to post in here the update of Limketkai Gateway >>>

:cheers::cheers::cheers: Thank you very much @Dark :applause::applause::applause:

Yes, you're correct. Hanjin is only a factor of the good economy. With or without hanjin, conventions and tourism industry continue blooming. So i crossed my fingers to this twin tower hotel.

If you noticed right at the back of U/C Gateway are the concrete piles already burried under the ground. Theres two sets of it and imo thats the foundation of the two towers. :):):):cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

^^thanks for the update @dark. for sure, pain in the butt ng SM ang LKK Gateway. if i were the SY's (SM) i would invest in El Salvador kasi in between sya ng CDO and Laguindingan airport. to think the Ayala's owned most of the land there (Laguindingan), so hirap maka-compete ang SM. anyway, im excited for the LKK towers and the LKK Gateway expansion. :cheers:

Actually, the foundation and piles for the hi-rise project were already constructed way before the announcement kasabay ng LKK Mall Expansion which included among others the first underpass of CDO, the overpass connecting LKK Avenue to Lapasan - Camaman-an Road, the construction of Robinsons, renovation of Rosario Arcade, etc... There were no press release back then basta na lang LKK Center was partly closed and so many construction going on within the 30-hectare complex. No announcement and no billboards but they were driving piles in that same hotel site across LKK McDonald's. We know now that there are definite plans of a hi-rise hotel back then at that same site but the design, architecture, the no. of floors were still being finalized. But LKKS Management had already began the piles and foundation ahead which is now the task of the engineers to configure the new building and to institute engineering measures. I believe the foundation was for a 14-storey bldg so engineers were required additional inputs and recommendations. Last year, it was rumored to be 17 storeys until the final announcement came to be 21 storeys. I think part of the recommendation was to cover the creek and construction of foundation supports across the creek. We can only assume. Yesterday I saw some huge cranes and at least a dozen piles near the Eastern Concourse Entrance of the Mall. The guard stationed there said pile driving will start anytime soon near the entrance. I don't know what's the purpose. We haven't seen the masterplan except for that LKK Complex Redering. The recent photos showing massive construction is that of the Gateway, adjacent to the site.

You mean another pile driving near the entrance? (the block between the McDo and covered walkway and PUJ terminal?) Am I right?

i couldnt have said it any better. anyway, i went to LKK yesterday. i saw these two cranes. i also asked the guard and he repiled that theyre going to build a bridge that will connect the east concourse entrance to the hotel. too bad i wasnt able to bring along my cam. :) :) :)

SP Oks Development At Limketkai Complex (http://www.cagayandeoro.gov.ph/?page=news&id=1247)



by Lorebeth C. Requiroso/city Council Office
LEGISLATORS on Monday gave the management of the Limketkai Sons Inc. the go signal to undertake construction projects over the Bitan-ag Creek.

The company intends to build portion of its proposed elevated shopping concourse crossing over the Bitan-ag Creek with an elevation of 4.5 meters from the ground. It will have an area of about 2,284 square meters. A 2,094 service road will also be constructed in the area, The Power learned.Also included in the plan is the construction of a concrete pavement over a portion of the Bitan-ag Creek to provide access across the creek and also to serve as a parking area for the vehicles of its clients.The construction in the area will however be subject to the evaluation of the City Engineering Office and the City Building Office.The legislation was reviewed and endorsed by the City Council committees on public works and on laws and rules chaired by Councilors Emmanuel Abejuela and Ramon Tabor, respectively. (LCR)

Guys! confirm!!!! another 8 storey building will rise within the LIMKETKAI COMPLEX.
I dont know yet where is the exact location,but probably near the LKKS mall.

^^Hi cribs88, welcome here!:cheers:

Saan mo nakuha ang balita?

Nakapunta kaba sa ketkai just recently? Kasi sabi ni @Dark at @GearX meron daw mga piles malapit sa may east entrance.


Calling @dark and gearx, saan location yung nakita nyo? Sa A or B?

Thank you to all specially sa nag welcome!!!!!!!!!!!
I,m having fun staying here 4 almost a year but i just registred!!!!!!!!!!!!1


With regard to the quistions: FOR THE RECORD,sa lahat ng nagdududa sa mga pino-post natin dito............


SOURCE ng new 8 storey building to be build along the "LKKS complex".

SOURCE:1 of the enginer if the said project is our "FAMILY FRIEND".

Our house is just 300 meters away the LKKS center,so whatever changes and plans in the area,we the are one who first know, what are those!

The new construction (beside the mercury drug,east concource entrance)is a new over pass conecting or passing MCDONALDS,going probably to the hotel or gateway mall.Because LKKS is using 2 over pass going to gateway mall.

About naman sa expansion ng MALLBERRY SUITS within this year or early next year ang start ng construction.

and the source ? para di tayo pag tawanan ng mga nag babasa ... :nuts:

brod, don't be too concerned na pagtatawanan kayo. you're not liable to the public since it's your forum. project proposals come and go and lots of details get changed as well. i think the important thing is the level-headed forumers here continue to keep an eye on these projects :cheers:

agree :okay:

dala mo na?

WHILE construction of the posh Ayala-owned subdivision Alegria Hills is now ongoing, Vice Mayor Vicente Emano announced that the company is also planning to put up a shopping mall in the city.

In his radio program over dxIF Thursday, the vice mayor said this will be similar to the Ayala Center in Cebu.He is optimistic that the company will continue to pour in investments here.Meanwhile, the mayor said the planned construction of hotels will definitely push through. The mayor earlier said the city is in need of more hotels to accommodate its guests especially as it is now a favorite convention site.STEEL PLANTMeanwhile, Vice Mayor Emano said a big investor is now scouting for large track of land in the province for its multi-bilion peso steel plant.He said that while he is helping scout for a potential site, it is the investor who will decide where to put up the plant,"Sila magbuot asa ibutang," he added even as he said the entry of the firm is already definite."Human sa among pagsuroy sa tibuok lalawigan sa milabay nga adlaw, daghan ang dapit nga ilang nagustohan apil sa dakbayan sa Gingoog. Ug human kini hisgoti sa ilang mga labaw, magsugod na gilayon ang negosasyon sa pagpalit sa maong yuta nga mokabat gikan sa 30 paingon sa 50 ka ektarya ug kini dinalian kay gusto sila magsugod dayon," he said.

^^ very delicious news! :cheers: cant wait for this one, thanks for the info cribs, pls if you have any info pls share it with us! disregard some trolls from other cities

as i can see usually they started butting in kong may mga ganitong klase na post, at least naman dont just say a new building will rise or what without a valid or reliable source , kindly put naman some source ... kasi if they ask and then ayon .. gulo... na naman.

brod, don't be too concerned na pagtatawanan kayo. you're not liable to the public since it's your forum. project proposals come and go and lots of details get changed as well. i think the important thing is the level-headed forumers here continue to keep an eye on these projects :cheers:

This is a good news but its should be posted in the correct thread... cdo malls.. or cdo main thread.

Por Dios Por Santo. From an observers point of view, there are just too many plans posted in Cagayan De Oro city since last year that didn't materialize up to this day. Limketkai hotel, Ayala mall, hype high rises and all that but in reality it fails to impress rather factly because all you see up in the air is a skyline comparable only to Tacloban City. I don't know if it just me, but Iloilo and Bacolod are gaining popularity with real projects under construction. I just hope forumers here will put into consideration that SSC lurkers like me rely on these information so much that it translates into frustation when virtual world can not justify the real world. I just recently visited this city and I didn't see anything spectacular as what you were trying to project in this forum. I am banking on the city image forumers here were trying to reach my end, a city more progressive than Iloilo, Bacolod or Baguio, but when I was finally there, it didn't reach half my expectations. Just a thought on how information padding can ruin one's day. Try humility sometimes. I could have chosen Boracay that fateful day. I am Sorry for relying on SSC too much. I could have been warned.

that's why they're called plans. duh. you should have tried white water rafting, unless of course you're a fictitious character.

i'm interested in this thread because of the great potential this area has, location-wise.

kindly read all the pages of this thread starting from page one so that you wont regret what you're trying to expect. it usually helps if you start from the beginning because i dont think the LKK's made an annoucement that would only embarass them in the end. :)

yung structure rising behind the steel beams. is that a part of the actual hotel Towers under construction??

well, good to know cdo will have highrises soon and gotta say, im excited for the completion of this project:cheers:

^^^^Wag nyo na patulan yun, tinuturuan pa kayong maging mayabang :lol::lol::lol: Wag na kayong malito, si kwan yun (inferior character) gumawa ng isang account para makapang bash:) Limketkai and CDO rocks :banana::cheers::cheers::cheers:

^^ aprub!

and it takes only one visionary to change cdo's landscape permanently and dramatically. and that visionary, no doubt, is limketkai. they've done it with the mall, and they'll do it again with hi-rises. i bet more visionaries will make their presence felt in the cdo-iligan area in the years to come. great pics by the way :D

he's just saying that because tacloban and cdeo tied in the 11th spot in the recent AIM survey. barukdok and ph are right. hes just another fictitious character.

I think the 2 Financial Center Towers are different from the twin hotel project.

gearX, what do you mean when you said "two financial center towers?" are they just mid-rise structures or high rise ones? are they part of the mall or some sort of office condominiums? are they the ones you mentioned earlier about the 16 and 17 storey structures or totally different? :) :)

there are so much developments in LKK nowadays

how about changing the title to LIMKETKAI CENTER since the thread covers new and existing projects. just a thought. cheers for CDO and LKK. :cheers:

^^ IMO , I think the "hotel" and "financial tower" are two separate projects, i hope LKK will clarify this...

First time ko lang nakita yung financial center towers 1 & 2 sa plan...no idea how tall they are :cheers: LKKS has long been known to be low-profile. Basta na lang mayron nangyayari sa complex. Even yung underpass malapit sa Robinsons before yung City Engineers Office (CEO) at contractors lang nakakaalam. The news came from CEO and not from LKKS. Meron na siguro nag-advise sa kanila perhaps from Orochamber na paminsan naman magpa-interview. I think the awarding of Mr. Alfonso Lim sa GO NEGOSYO started it all kasi left and right na ang interviews, nalathala pa sa national newspaper.

As what I understand too. The date of upload of that sketch posted by gearx is just last June 30.

there are so much developments in LKK nowadays

As what I saw in the other pictures (the link GearX gave), the whole east side of LKK along Limketkai Avenue will turn like Rosario Arcade and has elevated walkway connecting East Entrance and the current skypark.

how about changing the title to LIMKETKAI CENTER since the thread covers new and existing projects. just a thought. cheers for CDO and LKK. :cheers:

Sana magbigay linaw ang LKKS management sa pinakaplano ng LKK center about the architects perspective of the expansion, the cost, and having official press release so that we have the basis of having LKKS thread expansion.

i agree, why not change the name to, say, LKK Center so that the thread can accomodate a concoction of plans and dev projects for the site .... :cheers:

i most cetainly agree with you, bai, that the hotels and financial towers are different. they should really try to make this public so that people like jude wont ask too many unnecessary questions.

im still wondering what these financial twin towers look like. in fact, its only recently that ive heard of them. will somebody shed me some insight what these projects are going to be? id really appreciate it

what bothers me most is that there are plenty of high rise structures in the pipeline and most of them can be found in LKK complex.

first, it was just 17 storeys. late last year, it was announced that it was changed to 21 storeys. then, cribs88 said that another eight storey will rise in LKK. afterwards, gearX posted that there is a finance center to be built within the complex. in fact, there are going to be two of them. if im not mistake, there are going to be five structures excluding the 16 and 17 storey edifices. wow!

what's the update of this project again guys? i have some pics here with me and will post it when i'm back in Cebu tomorrow.
my favorite place in CDO is LKKBP and i think mao ni sila mo-spearhead sa mga great projects in this city which is good kay homegrown!

Manila-based Retail Giant SM never thought homegrown Limketkai & Sons (LKKS) would just bow down when it began operations. LKK buckled down to work and now it's obvious SM is losing to LKK....

^^ kailangan jud ilahi nila ilang strategy like having sm exclusive shops like my fave pizza yellowcabs :D

^^cheap kasi ang design ng SM, parang bodega style. dapat modern architecture, more glassy and curvy. example yung Zlote Tarasy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z%C5%82ote_Tarasy) ng Warsaw Poland, ganda ng Golden Terraces made of glass.
