CEBU — Cebu Landmasters Inc. (CLI) has officially launched Alto Ranudo, a 20-storey premium residential tower rising along V. Ranudo Street in uptown Cebu City. The P2.88-billion development translates the city's hablon weaving tradition into a modern architectural landmark, bringing 389 units to a prime heritage district.
A Heritage-Inspired Landmark Rises
The project marks the first under CLIMAC Ventures, Inc., CLI's joint venture with Martinez Agricultural Corp. It is the opening launch of the developer's P25-billion pipeline, replenishing inventory after a 95 percent sell-out across its residential portfolio. The conditional license to sell has been issued by the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development.
CLI President and CEO Jose Franco Soberano said the launch reflects confidence in the strong underlying demand across Visayas and Mindanao. He noted that the project responds to how people want to live in the city today while remaining distinctly Cebuano. The company sees the second half as a major growth phase with 11 projects totaling more than 5,600 units.
Weaving Tradition into Modern Living
Alto Ranudo's design draws direct inspiration from the intricate patterns of hablon, Cebu's handwoven textile tradition. The tower's facade and interior details echo the artistry of local weavers, translating heritage into contemporary form. This approach connects the past with the present, making culture a daily lived experience for residents.
Soberano described the project as CLI's take on how Cebu's heritage can live on in a modern setting. The development rises beside Calle 104, CLI's sold-out heritage-driven project anchored by the adaptive reuse of the Garcia-Escaño Mansion. Residents gain direct pedestrian access to Calle 104's retail strip, blending old and new in one walkable neighborhood.
A Strategic Address for City Life
The tower sits within walking distance of Cebu's premier institutions. Velez General Hospital is just 170 meters away, while Chong Hua Hospital and Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center are within a four-minute drive. Cebu Normal University and St. Theresa's College are also nearby, making the location ideal for medical staff, students, and urban professionals.
Robinsons Place Cebu Fuente and Fuente Osmeña Circle are minutes away, providing retail, dining, and leisure options. The hospital belt and university clusters around V. Ranudo Street support strong rental demand, positioning Alto Ranudo as an attractive investment. The low-density configuration ensures privacy and exclusivity despite the central location.
Resort-Style Amenities Within Reach
The development features a full suite of amenities designed for balanced living. Residents enjoy an adult pool, lap pool, and kiddie pool, plus a 57-square-meter fitness gym. A yoga area, zen garden, co-working space, lounges, function rooms, children's play areas, and a pet play zone complete the lifestyle offerings.
Building infrastructure includes four passenger elevators, full backup power, round-the-clock security, podium parking, and an indoor drop-off. CLI Property Management Services will oversee operations, ensuring professional maintenance and turnkey leasing support for owners. The ground floor incorporates commercial spaces with direct access to Calle 104 retail.
Driving Cebu's Real Estate Momentum
The launch comes after CLI was named Best Developer in the Philippines at the 14th PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards on August 20. The company also won Best Housing Developer, Best Developer — Visayas, and Best Developer — Mindanao. These recognitions reinforce buyer confidence in the quality and reliability of new inventory.
With Alto Ranudo leading the second-half pipeline, CLI is poised to convert strong demand into sustained growth. The project's blend of heritage, location, and modern amenities makes it a compelling option for homebuyers and investors seeking a distinct Cebu address.
