RLC to develop 13-ha. property of Lapanday unit in Davao City

Property developer Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) entered into a joint venture agreement with Lapanday Prime Development Corporation to boost its landbank and product offerings in Davao City.


In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) yesterday, RLC said this joint venture agreement allows RLC, through its Housing & Land Development Division (HLDD), to initially develop a 12.9-hectare property.

The Lapanday property is located in Barangay Tigatto and Waan, Davao City and will be the site for a mid-cost development.

This property is accessible to public areas and landmarks like Buhangin Public Market, Davao International Airport, Victoria Plaza Mall, Gaisano Mall, and Ateneo de Davao College.

RLC is currently building a residential subdivision and a new mall in Davao City which will be designed to house business process outsourcing or call center on the second level.



The firm said the mall is targetted for completion in the middle of 2008 and will have 13,000 square meters of gross floor area. The BPO/call center will occupy 5,000 square meters—making it the largest call center operation in Mindanao.

With strong demand for these spaces, RLC’s commercial centers division has included call center spaces in its future mall development in Davao City located along J. P. Laurel Avenue which can easily be accessed via private and public transport.

"We have designed a 2 level shopping mall to include our retail affiliates Robinsons Supermarket and Handyman Do It Best, together with quick service restaurant, health and beauty outlets and a call center at the second level," said Robinsons Malls general manager Cornelio Mapa.

He added that "this format will easily compliment the lifestyle of call center employees who look forward to some rest and recreation after work." Robinsons Davao will be RLC’s second shopping mall in Mindanao.

RLC aims to take advantage of the strong growth in consumer spending by undertaking to build 16 new malls nationwide over the next five years at a cost of about P12 billion.

In an interview, RLC president Frederick Go said they are also putting up four residential condominiums, six residential subdivisions, one hotel and two office buildings.

Go said all the property needed for the construction of the new malls have already been acquired and are part of RLC’s 67 hectare land bank for malls. The firm is opening five malls this year consisting of two in Manila, one in Tagaytay, one in Cabanatuan and one in Pulilan, Bulacan.

Other malls in the pipeline include those already under construction in Dumaguete, Davao and Cebu. He said some malls will cost over P1 billion but most will cost less since they will be in the provinces.

Naku mapapasubo ka, mahal pa naman ako mag charge.

Medyo mataas kasi yung fence one could hardly get a glimpse of what's inside. I just know that construction is in full swing because last night when I ate dinner in a restaurant just across the street, there were about three concrete mixers na naghahazard stop sa tabi ng kalsada to take turns in gaining entry to the fenced area.

I-try daw saka sa rooftop sa DCWD, maybe you could have a good view from there. Kay kung mutan-aw lang ka gikan sa kalsada, wa gyud makit-an kay taas kaayo ang bakod sa robinsons...

[WawaY[625]]

so kining mall na ni dili jud diay ni sya laaganan for everybody but ga cater mostly sa mga call center employees (and the possible nga mangomprahay sa grocery)

now it makes sense (size)

medyo "masikip" na nga ang mundo para sa robinsinons had they decided to build a regular mall (yung mga 30,000sqm pataas) since naunahan na sila sa strategic locations (NCCC and SM sa south and G-Mall and VP sa north)

tapos anyan pa ang ayala..now in order to compete, the current format ng mga malls ng robinsons na may kaliitan din (30,000-50,000sqm) may not be able to compete with the existing malls din siguro (tapos medyo saturated na rin ang market) kaya imbes na makipag compete sya directly eh nag target na lang siya ng niche market nice move actually

Robinson's mall to rise in Bajada
By Grace L. Plata

ANOTHER mall will be rising in the Bajada area of Davao City.

According to Councilor Peter Laviña, the building of a Robinson's mall here was announced by Frederick Go, president of Robinsons Land Corporation in his recent visit to the city.


Long rumored after its land banking in Davao, the Gokongwei group will be the third major mall developer to venture here after Henry Sy set up SM City Davao almost a decade ago.

Ayala Land earlier entered into partnership with the Floriendo's for the development of the latter's 10-hectare property in front of the Redemptorist Church.

The Robinson's mall would be located also at Bajada near the Water District.

"JP Laurel Avenue would really become the mall street of the city with Gaisano Mall, Victoria Plaza, Ayala, Robinson's, and Gateway dotting the stretch from the Chinese School to Lanang," Laviña said.

"NCCC Mall, on the other hand, has a monopoly on the other side of the city's MacArthur Highway," he added.

The mall project is preceded by three major Robinson's housing projects here. The first is at Diversion Road Buhangin, the second is in front of Lanang Golf & Country Club, and the third, recently approved by the City Council, is once more along the Diversion Road in Buhangin.

"Property development remains as the top investment priority area in the city under the Investment Incentive Code. It's of no wonder, however, because property projects really make a killing," Laviña said.

Laviña added that incidentally, the Gokongweis have good local partners in Davao in the Ed Bangayan group who are their Cebu Pacific general agent. The group is also part owner of Victoria Plaza and SM Davao Department Store.
