CEBU CITY — The Veranda at Pristina Town officially opened its doors on July 24, 2026, marking a significant milestone for Cebu Landmasters Inc. and its joint venture partner, Ixidor Holdings. The visitor center now serves as the primary gateway to the 7.2-hectare master-planned township in Barangay Bacayan, offering prospective homeowners a firsthand look at the future of sustainable community living.
A Vision for Sustainable Township Living
Pristina Town is designed as a walkable, mixed-use estate that addresses urban sprawl by keeping daily essentials, homes, and recreation within a short distance. Rather than building high-density towers, the master plan focuses on low-rise residential condominiums and townhouses to preserve open space and maintain air movement. The township features expansive green spaces, pocket parks, smart programmable street lighting, and water catchment systems for irrigation.
Jose Franco Soberano, President and CEO of Cebu Landmasters, emphasized the development's community-centered approach. "Our goal here is really to create a sustainable community where everything is in place, travel is reduced, and we add real value to the local community," he said. The project represents a practical shift in neighborhood planning, prioritizing walkability and shorter daily travel for residents in Cebu's growing northern corridor.
North Grove: The Residential Centerpiece
At the heart of Pristina Town is North Grove, a P5.4-billion garden-themed residential condominium development offering 1,029 units across two towers. Lumina Tower houses 386 units, including studio, one-bedroom, and one-bedroom garden layouts ranging from 24 to 35.14 square meters, all featuring full-height windows. Terra Tower offers 643 studio units ranging from 22.75 to 25.37 square meters.
The development is already approaching 60 percent sold, demonstrating strong buyer confidence in the area. A nearly 3,800-square-meter retail podium will include a supermarket and dining concepts, ensuring residents have convenient access to daily necessities. The project is part of CLI's broader initiative to address the housing backlog by building accessible, value-driven communities across the Visayas and Mindanao region.
Community Hubs and Local Support
Beyond residential structures, The Veranda's opening introduced immediate lifestyle features for the surrounding neighborhood. New pickleball courts were blessed to support the growing local sports community. The Sundown Socials Weekend Market now operates from 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM on weekends, hosting local food vendors, craft makers, and art galleries, providing Cebuano entrepreneurs with an accessible venue to run their businesses.
Sylvan John Monzon, First Vice President for Business Development at CLI, said The Veranda is envisioned as the welcoming front door to the township, a place where future homeowners can discover the lifestyle opportunities and community that await them. The development also includes dedicated bike lanes, wide pedestrian walkways, a transportation hub, and a fully underground utility distribution system.
