Robinsons Land Corp., (RLC) the real estate arm of Gokongwei flagship firm JG Summit Holdings Inc., has unveiled plans to build six clusters townhouse villas within its exclusive residential resort community in Mactan, Cebu.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, RLC said the project, called Blue Coast Residences, will rise on a 3.37-hectare property comprising a total of 25 two-to-three storey villas.

Inspired by American architecture, the Blue Coast Residences — RLC’s upper mid-cost residential subdivision — will offer first class amenities such as gate and guardhouse, wading and spa pool, infinity pool, a bird’s fountain, gazebo, multi-purpose clubhouse and multi-purpose hall and administration building.

“The Blue Coast Residences is perfect for individuals and families who demand high quality, luxurious living. A haven where they can foster a love of nature yet prefer privacy and tranquility in a modest lifestyle,” said Robinsons Homes Inc. senior vice president and general manager Marilu M. Alferez. Alferez said the company plans to launch Blue Coast Residences in the second quarter of the year.

“We are pleased to be re-entering the townhouse residential market with this project, following several years of focusing on horizontal subdivision developments. Based on increased demand of ready-for-occupancy residences, we expect quality townhouse projects such as this to be a successful niche for RLC,” Alferez said.

RLC’s second project in Cebu is Aspen Heights, a 25-hectare residential subdivision located in Consolacion, Cebu which offers “lot only” with option of housing package.

Other projects in the pipeline include AmiSa, a five-star, six-tower condominium resort which will be located in Punta Engaño, Mactan, and a three storey mixed-use building. The six towers will offer 900 high-end seaside condominium units and a five-star resort which will have 200 to 300 rooms.

The IT building, on the other hand, will also house retail outlets and a condominium hotel on RLC’s 4,000-square meter property in Fuente Osmeña.

RLC, through its housing unit Robinsons Homes, has 26 residential communities and commercial subdivision projects all over the country.
