“Our projects in Puerto Princesa and Cebu reflect CLI’s commitment to delivering thoughtfully- designed and high quality homes for individuals and families who need a place to call their own,” said Jose Soberano III, CLI Chairman & CEO. “Beyond that, we aim to offer compelling opportunities for investors.”

Casa Mira Towers Palawan: A First in Palawan for Vertical Living

The P3.8 billion Casa Mira Towers Palawan is CLI’s first-ever development in Puerto Princesa, Palawan and part of the company’s flagship housing brand Casa Mira. With the recent groundbreaking of tower 5, CLI also announced the opening of two additional towers, which will add 567 more units to the seven-tower development.

Spanning 2.09-hectares in Barangay San Pedro, just minutes from the Puerto Princesa airport and city center, Casa Mira Towers Palawan blends the comforts of urban convenience with the serene charm of nature-rich surroundings and resort-like living. Sixty percent of the property is dedicated to open space, lush greenery, and resort-style amenities. This includes a clubhouse, pools, gym, roof gardens, sky lounge, play area, retail zone, chapel, and an EV charging station—a rare offering for its segment.

The project offers studio and one-bedroom units ranging from 20 to 32 sqm, with select units featuring balconies and scenic views of Palawan’s natural landscape.

The expansion of two additional towers is CLI’s response to strong demand from end-users and investors for its project. Its nature-integrated setting, accessibility, and modern features position it as a standout vertical development in one of the country’s most dynamic tourism and residential markets, making Casa Mira Towers Palawan not just a home but a smart investment in one of the country’s fastest-growing cities frequented by leisure travelers.

North Grove at Pristina Town: Elevated Garden-Inspired Living in Northern Cebu

CLI also recently broke ground on North Grove at Pristina Town, marking the launch of the first residential phase of its new, sustainable township development in Bacayan, Cebu City. Valued at P5.4 billion, this upper mid-market residential project is being developed by Cebu Homegrown Developers Inc., CLI’s joint venture with Ixidor Holdings. North Grove serves as the initial phase of Pristina Town, a 7.2-hectare township rising in one of Northern Cebu’s most notable addresses.

Building on the success of the partnership’s Mandtra Residences, North Grove introduces two residential towers–Lumina and Terra–each offering distinct living experiences focused on green spaces and thoughtfully designed environments.

Lumina Tower will feature 386 studio and one-bedroom garden units sized from 24 to 35 sqm, fitted out with full-height windows for maximum natural light. The tower features expansive green spaces and exclusive garden amenities, such as a zen garden, sky lounge, game room, fitness gym, lounge, and multi-purpose deck.

Meanwhile, Terra Tower will showcase forest tones and natural landscapes, complemented by premier amenities like pocket gardens, a multi-purpose deck, and fitness facilities. The tower will offer studio units ranging from 23 to 25 sqm.

North Grove’s key highlight is its central podium, designed with an expansive 1,800 sqm supermarket area and nearly 2,000 sqm leasable space for fresh retail and dining concepts that enhance convenience and elevated township living.

Scaling VisMin Presence with Inclusive and Sustainable Growth

“These developments are part of our initiative to address the significant housing backlog in the Philippines by building accessible, value-driven communities that meet real demand and foster inclusive, sustainable growth,” Soberano said.

CLI continues to scale its Casa Mira brand, now spanning 18 projects across the Visayas and Mindanao and delivering nearly 20,000 vertical and horizontal housing units. North Grove, meanwhile, is just the beginning of many exciting concepts residents can expect from Cebu’s Pristina Town.

From economic to upper mid-market segments, CLI’s diverse portfolio reflects its vision of inclusive growth anchored on local insight, end-user value, and regional expertise.

With continuous expansion, sustainability integration, and a market-responsive portfolio of projects, CLI reinforces its role as a trusted developer enriching Filipino lives through accessible, well-planned and resilient communities in fast-emerging cities across the country.
