Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI), one of the country’s leading full-range property developers, recently marked another significant milestone with the groundbreaking of Iloilo Centrale, an 11.4-hectare residential township in Leganes, Iloilo. Nestled in a tranquil coastal town adjacent to Iloilo City, Iloilo Centrale is designed around the core value proposition of "Life Inspired, Shared," offering a complete and convenient lifestyle for its future residents while embracing the warm and distinctive Ilonggo culture. This development likewise heralds the company’s expansion in the province following its highly successful One Spatial Iloilo condominium project in Mandurriao district.

As part of FLI’s broader goal to launch P25 billion worth of projects this year, Iloilo Centrale stands out as a key development driving the company’s growth strategy. With a projected P1.8 billion inventory sales value for its residential component, Futura Rise Iloilo, this project underscores FLI's commitment to contributing to the economic progress of Iloilo. It also reflects the company’s expansion in the Visayas, complementing FLI's ongoing developments in Cebu and Dumaguete, and reinforcing its dedication to regional growth.

“Iloilo Centrale’s town center brings everything closer, providing easy access to everyday essentials. Its parks are designed to inspire an active lifestyle with every component encouraging movement, play, and wellness,” FLI First Vice President and Residential Township Business Head Gerard Marcelo said. “At the core of Iloilo Centrale’s design is the desire to create a place where the spirit of community thrives. More than just a commercial hub, the town center is envisioned as a space where residents can gather, celebrate, and share experiences. It is a stage where Ilonggos can express their rich heritage and foster a sense of belonging,” he added.

Strategically located along the Iloilo R-4 Road, just 2.5 kilometers from Jaro district, Iloilo Centrale’s masterplan is anchored on a 1.4-hectare town center block that brings together features commercial spaces, retail pods, child-centric spaces, and active zones bannered by a 9-a-side football field that will be home to a football academy and host to football camps.

The groundbreaking ceremony was led by FLI First Vice President and Residential Township Business Head Gerard Marcelo and FLI Vice President and Regional General Manager for Visayas Louie Henry Carandang together with local government officials including Leganes Mayor Hon. Vicente Jaen II and Cagamutan Sur Chairman Hon. Renato Espinosa.
