Cebu Landmasters grows office portfolio in Cebu Business District with Latitude Corporate Center
CLI doubles its GLA YoY with the opening of Latitude Corporate Center
Leading VisMin developer Cebu Landmasters, Inc. (CLI) partners with the Borromeo Brothers Estate Inc. as they recently opened Latitude Corporate Center in Cebu Business District.
The Php 1.2-Billion 4-Star BERDE-certified commercial tower increased CLI’s office GLA to 29,000 sqm from 14,000 sqm year-on-year. This is in line with the listed company’s long-term strategy to build up its GLA to 200,000 sqm allowing its office, retail, and hospitality portfolio to contribute 10% of the company’s growing topline in 3 to 5 years.
Latitude Corporate Center embodies a green building design highlighting eco-features such as LED lighting, high-performance building envelope, operable windows for natural ventilation, rainwater collection system, stub-outs for fresh air provision, material recovery facility, plaza with tree sanctuary, live wall at main lobbies, 60% glass ration, and 20% vegetated green spaces. Its schematic building design follows a unique “stacked building blocks” form to mirror a minimal, elegant and timeless facade.
“Our economy is now reopening and we see a future turnover for office spaces especially from the IT-BPO sectors. As we expand our office footprint, we also foresee our industry players slowly transition business operations back to normalcy in the coming months as we anticipate post-pandemic recovery,” says CLI chairman and CEO Jose Soberano III.
Latitude Corporate Center is the first project of BL CBP Ventures Inc., a joint venture between Cebu Landmasters Inc. (CLI) and Borromeo Brothers Estate Inc. The development was awarded early this year with a four-star accreditation under the Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE) rating system, a testament to its sustainable design tailor-fit to world-class standards.
