Leading developer in the Visayas and Mindanao Cebu Landmasters Inc. (CLI), together with Xavier University (XU), is advancing Cagayan de Oro City’s urban connectivity through the Manresa Access Road, a P120 million strategic infrastructure project built on land jointly contributed by both partners and fully funded by CLI, highlighting their collaborative effort to create a sustainable and connected township.
The project, marked by a concrete pouring ceremony on January 23, will strengthen connectivity between Uptown and Downtown CDO, improve daily mobility for residents, students, workers, and businesses, and support CLI’s sustainable township development, and align with the city’s long-term growth needs.
Spanning 2 kilometers and 10 meters wide on land jointly owned by CLI and Xavier University, the Manresa Access Road expected to be completed in Q4 2027 will directly link Masterson Avenue to Balulang Road, improving downtown access via the Macasandig Bridge, easing congestion, and enhancing daily mobility across Cagayan de Oro. It will also boost Uptown CDO connectivity, shorten travel times, expand route options, and provide safer, more predictable travel for commuters, while the improved linkage simultaneously supports economic activity across the city.
The road is complementary to Manresa Town, CLI’s 14.6-hectare integrated university township designed with student-friendly spaces and seamlessly connected to Xavier University Masterson Campus, dubbed the Campus of the Future, as well as to Uptown CDO. Sustainability and quality of life are at the core of both the campus and township designs, with generous open areas, green spaces, wide roads, and dedicated bike lanes that promote healthier and more environmentally responsible lifestyles. The development also benefits from its proximity to 28 hectares of protected forest, ensuring that urban growth is balanced with environmental stewardship.
“Manresa Town is built to shape the future of Uptown CDO. By creating a sustainable, connected, and vibrant community for students, educators, and residents, it supports Cagayan de Oro City’s growth and enhances the quality of life for everyone who lives and works here,” said CLI Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jose Soberano III.
Manresa Town’s first residential project, One Manresa Place, launched last year, generated P4 billion in sales within its first two days and is now 99 percent sold, reflecting strong demand and confidence from students, teachers, and investors.
As the leading property developer in the South, Cebu Landmasters brings extensive experience in creating integrated communities that respond to local needs. Its collaboration with Xavier University, a cornerstone academic institution in Northern Mindanao, ensures that development aligns with educational, social, and civic priorities. Connectivity-driven and sustainable infrastructure is essential for the rapidly urbanizing city of Cagayan de Oro, and the Manresa Access Road exemplifies this approach, physically linking districts while strengthening collaborative infrastructure that benefits the wider community.
Cebu Landmasters currently has more than 130 projects across 18 key cities in VisMin and will soon launch its first project in Luzon.
