CEBU Landmasters, Inc. in partnership with Xavier University, has broken ground on the P120-million Manresa Access Road, a strategic infrastructure project set to boost connectivity between Uptown and Downtown Cagayan de Oro.
Fully funded by Cebu Landmasters, Inc. and built on land jointly contributed by both partners, the two-kilometer road will directly link Masterson Avenue to Balulang Road via the Macasandig Bridge, easing congestion, improving mobility and supporting the long-term growth of Manresa Town’s 14.6-hectare integrated university township seamlessly connected to Xavier University’s Masterson Campus and Uptown CDO.
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, support Cebu Landmaster, Inc.’s sustainable township development and align with the city’s long-term growth needs.
Spanning two kilometers and ten meters wide, the Manresa Access Road expected to be completed in late 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.
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 Cebu Landmasters, Inc. chairman and chief executive officer Jose Soberano III.
For his part, Mayor Rolando Uy thanked Cebu Landmasters, Inc. for their cpntinuing investments in the city, adding that the access road will help decongest traffic in this part of Cagayan de Oro.
Manresa Town’s first residential project, One Manresa Place, launched last year, generated Php4 billion in sales within its first two days and is now 99% 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, Inc. currently has more than 130 projects across 18 key cities in VisMin and will soon launch its first project in Luzon.
Through this partnership, Cebu Landmasters Inc. and Xavier University aim to enhance urban connectivity, promote sustainable community planning, and address Cagayan de Oro City’s evolving infrastructure needs.
