Acting in the role of chairman and CEO, Jose Soberano III has been helming Cebu Landmasters Inc (CLI) since 2003. And on CLI’s 20th anniversary, Soberano is fortuitously recognised as the Philippines Real Estate Personality of the Year at the prestigious 11th PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards.
Over two decades, Soberano has led CLI to the top of the ranks. From a modest three-million-peso housing project in Cebu’s countryside in 2003, he has propelled CLI into a multi-billion-peso listed company. With a sparkling portfolio of well-designed real estate projects in the Visayas and Mindanao regions of the Philippines, now moving on to expand into Luzon. Aptly named as the leading developer in VisayasMindanao according to market studies done by Colliers & SKF (Santos Knight Frank).
