Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) is looking at expanding its land bank in Cebu, to further take advantage of the province’s dynamic real estate sector in both commercial and residential segments.

RLC, the real estate development arm of conglomerate JG Summit Holdings Inc., is currently active in pursuing several development projects in Cebu, including the five-hectare Condo-Tel project called Amisa in Mactan, the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) building called Cybergate Cebu in Fuente Osmeña, and its recent acquisition of government-owned property at the North Reclamation Area (NRA).

In an interview with JG Summit Holdings Inc., president and chief operating officer (COO) Lance Gokongwei, he said that the company is looking at expanding its land bank in Cebu to prepare for more projects in the next few years.

The company has recently acquired a 4-hectare property at the NRA, near the old White Gold Department Store, and is currently drawing up plans of developing the property for mixed-use development, Gokongwei said.

He said the four-hectare land will have a hotel, commercial complex, residential units, and office buildings.

The young Gokongwei, who is now in-charge of the conglomerate’s operation built by his Cebuano father John Gokongwei, said that Cebu offers huge opportunity for the group’s several business arms, specifically retail, real estate and airline operations.

Although he did not divulge any specific preference of the companies property interest in terms of location, Gokongwei said the company is on constant look out for opportunities to purchase or buy-out good real estate properties in Cebu, to add up to its existing land bank.

RLC is among the most profitable business of JG Summit Holdings Inc., with its 18 malls, 23 residential subdivisions, 22 residential condominiums, six office buildings and three hotels.

In Cebu, the Gokongwei Group is operating Robinson’s shopping mall in Fuente Osmeña, the Midtown Hotel, Robinson’s Supermarket at the Banilad Town Center, and the Blue Coast subdivision in Mactan, Aspen Heights in Consolacion among other affiliate businesses.

So far, RLC’s biggest investment venture in Cebu is the construction of the five-star resort and condotel coastline project called AmiSa located on Mactan Island.

Reportedly, the Gokongwei group expressed interest to buy a property at the South Road Property (SRP).

However, Cebu Investments and Promotion Center (CIPC), which is commissioned to market the 300-hectare property, earlier announced that only three giant real estate developers have reached into successful deal with the Cebu City government, excluding the Gokongwei Group.

SM Prime set to open 2 more malls this year

By Honey Madrilejos-Reyes
Reporter


THE country’s largest mall developer, SM Prime Holdings (SMPH), is opening two new shopping malls in the next quarter.

In a statement Wednesday, it said it will open SM Rosales in Pangasinan and SM Baliuag in Bulacan in addition to the planned launch of the newly renovated SM Megamall and SM Fairview.

SMPH, whose shares are traded at the stock exchange, is seen to end the year with 33 shopping malls in its portfolio.

On Friday, it is set to unveil SM City Marikina, which sits on a 60,000 square meters (sq m) of land and has a gross floor area (GFA) of 122,000 sq m. Its total leasable area is 58,000 sq m. with the SM department store and supermarket occupying 18,500 sqm and 10,000 sq m, respectively. Its main anchor tenants are SM Department Store and an SM Supermarket. The new mall will also feature a 2,600-sq m Cyberzone, where the latest in information technology products and services will be available.

Similar to all its other malls, SM City Marikina will offer a complete line of stores, and services for shopping, dining, entertainment, spa, health and wellness. Marikina is a key city for the group as its shoemakers became vital partners of SM during its growth years in the sixties as a shoe store in Carriedo, Manila.

According to SM’s founder Henry Sy Sr., “Marikina was supplying 70 percent of the shoes we were selling at Shoemart. I would like to think that being one of its biggest buyers of shoes, we contributed to the growth of Marikina.”

The mall, which sits on Marikina’s riverbank, was designed by EDGE Interior Design Pty. Ltd., a foreign design consultant based in Australia.

“We continue to improve on the look of our malls to make them not just aesthetically appealing, but more importantly, environmentally friendly.” Hans Sy, SM Prime president.

SM City Marikina is a very bright mall with glass walls lining its façade to require less light bulbs and equipped with water treatment facilities.

It also has features to make it friendly to persons with disabilities (PWDs) and special needs such as handicap lifts, ramps, drinking fountains and available personnel especially trained to assist PWDs. SM City Marikina, like the rest of the other SM malls, also has a breastfeeding station for nursing mothers.

SM City Marikina is the first mall to be opened by SM Prime this year. In 2007, the company opened three malls, which were located in Bacolod, Taytay and Muntinlupa. SM Prime also acquired three existing SM malls in China, namely SM Xiamen, SM Jinjiang and SM City Chengdu.
