ARTHALAND Corp. on Monday broke ground for its Lucima project in Cebu — a “sustainable” residential condominium on a 2,245 square-meter (sq.m.) property.
“With this project, we are expanding our footprint in Southern Philippines,” Arthaland President Jaime C. Gonzalez said during the virtual launch on Monday, adding that the project is envisioned to be the first quadruple-certified sustainable high-rise residential condominium in the country.
Lucima is located in the heart of Cebu Business Park. The company said it is targeting city dwellers and business executives for the project.
The project features low-E double-glazed glass, energy recovery ventilators, and a carbon monoxide tracker per unit, among others.
Residents will have access to virtual concierge and “autonomous surveillance” robots, which are said to be used to promote a safer and contactless environment.
It will have 30 residential floors with over 260 units. Its one-bedroom offerings have floor areas around 38 sq.m. to 54 sq.m., two-bedroom units with 88 sq.m. to 106 sq.m., and three-bedroom units from 125 sq.m. and up. Lucima’s largest unit is said to be over 500 sq.m.
Lucima is slated to be completed by the third quarter of 2025.
Shares of Arthaland at the stock exchange went up by 1.49% or one centavo to close at P0.68 apiece on Monday. — Keren Concepcion G. Valmonte
The story has been updated to reflect the company’s request that it envisions Lucima to be the country’s first ‘quadruple-certified’ sustainable condominium.
