Cebu Landmasters, Inc. (CLI) and Xavier University (XU) are boosting urban connectivity in Cagayan de Oro with the P120-million Manresa Access Road, a strategic infrastructure project aimed at supporting sustainable township growth.
Spanning two kilometers and 10 meters wide, the road will connect Masterson Avenue to Balulang Road via the Macasandig Bridge, improving access, reducing travel times, and easing congestion for residents, students, workers, and businesses across the city. Completion is expected in the fourth quarter of 2027.
“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 CLI Chairman and CEO Jose Soberano III.
The Manresa Access Road is an integral part of Manresa Town, CLI’s 14.6-hectare university township. Designed with students in mind, the township features wide roads, green spaces, bike lanes, and open areas that promote healthier, more sustainable urban living. It is seamlessly linked to Xavier University Masterson Campus, dubbed the Campus of the Future, and its proximity to 28 hectares of protected forest ensures that development balances growth with environmental stewardship.
Manresa Town’s first residential project, One Manresa Place, launched last year and generated Php4 billion in sales within two days, now 99% sold, reflecting strong confidence from students, educators, and investors.
Beyond traffic solutions, the road strengthens integrated urban planning. By connecting Uptown and Downtown CDO more efficiently, the project encourages economic activity, supports long-term city growth, and demonstrates the value of partnerships between leading property developers and educational institutions.
As a major developer in Visayas and Mindanao with over 130 projects across 18 cities, Cebu Landmasters leverages its experience in creating integrated communities that respond to local needs. Its collaboration with Xavier University underscores a shared commitment to sustainable, connectivity-driven infrastructure that benefits the wider Cagayan de Oro community.
The Manresa Access Road, with its focus on mobility, safety, and sustainability, positions Uptown CDO as a model for future-ready, integrated urban growth in Northern Mindanao.
