Gentrifying locales, contributing to nation-building

As a real estate developer, we play a role in nation-building. In the past years, we have seen our buildings become part of the lives of many Filipinos, particularly of the students. Many of them have stayed on after school, and even as they started their careers.

Apart from our residential developments, we are also committed to providing opportunities to support the needs of our host communities. In the locations where we are present, we have continuously partnered with local governments and groups for social development and environmental programs.

Gentrifying locales

Torre Lorenzo did not build on locations where everyone is building. We invest early in cities we anticipate to grow into business and tourism hubs. In Manila, Batangas, and Davao, our developments have gentrified locales in these areas, increasing their values, and contributing to the economic improvement of the communities around us. An example is Dusit Thani Lubi Plantation Resort, Davao de Oro’s first five-star resort, which has encouraged local and international guests to visit the province, initiating continuous economic activity and driving other businesses in the area.

In Lipa and Davao, majority of our employees are also local residents, allowing people in the area to thrive and provide for their families without being too far away from home.

Paying for convenience

Filipino communities place great value on quality. Offering them spaces designed to address their needs, built with exceptional workmanship, and enhanced by personalized service is a convenience that Filipinos are willing to pay for.

As developers, we have a responsibility to not just put up buildings, but design spaces and environments that enhance the human experience.

Constantly evolving

Torre Lorenzo keeps on moving—we keep on evolving. The innovations we introduce in our projects are always market-driven. By understanding the evolving needs and aspirations of the people who live, work, learn, and play in our spaces, we design developments that will enrich their lives and enhance their experience.

We are flexible and are able to adapt to market conditions, quickly pivot strategies, and calibrate our projects to these evolving preferences.
