Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) Residences returns to its roots in Cebu as it launched Mantawi Residences at Nustar Resort and Casino last April 14, 2023. With the rise of Mantawi Residences in Cebu, following successful Cebu-based projects such as Azalea, Galleria Residences Cebu, and Amisa Private Residences, RLC Residences continues to provide Filipinos with quality condo development in line with John L. Gokongwei, Jr.’s vision of continued search for opportunities and move successfully in life.
SVP and Business Unit GM John Richard B. Sotelo, along with Senior Director Marketing Head and Chief Integration Officer Karen Cesario, and AVP and Business Development and Design Head Stephanie Anne Go, unveiled an exclusive preview of RLC’s latest premium development. Indeed, Mantawi Residences is a clear indication of its belief in Cebu's potential, including its robust economy and lively inhabitants.

“We are happy to come back here in Cebu with another promising project that is Mantawi Residences. We are proud to finally unveil this development that we envisioned for our future residents who are on the lookout for a home and investment that they can proudly call theirs,” said Sotelo.
As upscale residential development in Cebu continues to grow, with the percentage increase from six percent in 2020 to 24 percent in 2021 according to Colliers, Mantawi Residences positions itself as the pinnacle of luxurious and efficient living. Situated along Ouano Avenue, a location of significant economic and cultural importance, Mantawi offers the best of both Mandaue and Cebu City.

Sotelo, VP Project Management Engr. Emmanuel Arce, and Business Development and Design Head Stephanie Anne Go.
“Mantawi is strategically located where you can enjoy the best of both worlds,” Cesario explained. “Cebu City is so beautiful for its culture and heritage while Mandaue is such a progressive industrial city. Mantawi Residences will greet and welcome you to this next frontier of progress.”
The city government of Mandaue has already secured plans to develop the Metro Cebu Expressway and the Cebu Bus Terminal, both instrumental progress indicators for the whole province. Other developments include turning Cebu International Port into an international cruise docking area, building a premier waterfront site with a commercial space, and a luxury district.
All units are designed with loggias, an outdoor space that extends the indoor living space into a beautiful view.
Luxurious and efficient living
Mantawi Residences offers upscale and elevated living for all, with efficiently designed and larger units for growing families. "This will surely accommodate the growing families and all their luxuries they would want to experience in their home. On top of that, all units are designed with loggias, an outdoor space that extends the indoor living space into a beautiful view," Go shared.
RLC Residences also offers utmost privacy, with a maximum of only 14 units per floor, providing residents a living space with high levels of security and comfort. Smart home features and automation are synonymous with any RLC Residences development, fully embedded in its DNA of "Raise, Live, Connect."
The property will also provide a carefully curated retail area on the ground floor, showcasing prestigious international and high-end brands.
First class all the way
With Mantawi Residences as its first premium development in Cebu, RLC is unveiling another first: the introduction of a 1.3-hectare amenity area which will house hyper-sized and above-standard facilities. The expansive land area in itself signals premium all the way.
The property will also provide a carefully curated retail area on the ground floor, showcasing prestigious international and high-end brands. This is a space that RLC Residences' celebrity endorser, Heart Evangelista, is intimately familiar with.
“Having Heart Evangelista at Mantawi’s retail space will really help us because she’s a fashion icon,” said Cesario. “She’s known for her stats for premium and luxury, so she’s the best person because she’s our barometer.”
Aside from these, the estate is designed to include a plethora of landscaped spaces, pools inspired by the beach, a waterfall that cascades, a place for pets to play, an outdoor area for recreation, and numerous other amenities.
Future-ready homes are also about sustainability. RLC Residences is on a mission to create sustainable development solutions for all by teaming up with local and international agencies to obtain green certifications. Going the extra mile to ensure its efforts are recognized both in the Philippines as well as globally, Mantawi partnered with BERDE and EDGE for green certifications.

Next frontier of progress
RLC Residences believes that Mantawi Residences is a reflection of Mr. John's vision of achieving success. Thus, the condo development itself was specifically designed with unique and high-quality features to support the future residents' quest for success. RLC Residences has clearly put its best foot forward, taking into account the needs and wants of customers in Cebu as well as those investing in the Cebu market from outside the Philippines.
When asked if the Cebu market is ready for such a premium project, Sotelo answered, “We in RLC Residences believe, truly, that the Cebu market is hungry for beautiful well-designed condominiums that they can be proud of. They are discerning, they are meticulous, and they know what they want. We are confident that with Mantawi Residences, we have what they are looking for.”
