Sta. Lucia Land Inc. (SLI) is a real estate development company listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange. In 2007, the Philippines Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved several changes in the Company after it underwent a restructuring program, including the change of the Company's corporate name from Zipporah Mining and Industrial Corporation to the present one. Also in 2007, SLI became a public company via a back door listing.

Contents

SLI's portfolio consists of horizontal and vertical properties across the country, as well as a shopping mall in Cainta, Rizal, namely, Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall. The Company's clients are families, overseas Filipino workers, foreign investors, retirees, young urban professionals, and newly married couples, among others.

On December 22, 2015, Sta. Lucia Land, Inc. ("SLI") listed in the Philippine Dealing Exchange Corp. ("PDEx"). SLI joined the PDEx community of listed corporations, with its listing of P3 Billion worth of fixed-rate Peso bonds with an over-subscription option of up to P2 Billion in the PDEx platform. This marks the maiden listing of SLI in the Philippine Bond Market. The Bonds have been rated AA+ by the Credit Rating and Investor Services Philippines, Inc.

The 16% growth of its real estate revenues contributed to this increase, from PHP 1.455 Billion in 2014 to 1.681 Billion in 2015.

Majority of the growth came from the sales of Colinas Verdes Residential Estates (San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan), Monte Carlo Tower – Sta Lucia Residenze (Cainta, Rizal), Davao Riverfront (Davao) and Splendido Taal Tower 2 (Tagaytay).
