Completion of new road projects to spur South Luzon's growth

Leading township developer Empire East Land Holdings, Inc. expects more investments to come to South Luzon, particularly in Laguna and Cavite, once the new interchange at the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and the Biñan-Sta. Rosa circumferential road are completed.

Empire East Land president Anthony Charlemagne Yu said that the SLEX interchange in Sta. Rosa, Laguna and the circumferential road will significantly improve traffic flow and stimulate more economic-and tourism-related activities that will greatly benefit both the residents and the workers of the multinational firms operating in the area.

Yu likewise lauded the private sector’s initiatives in these infrastructure projects, saying such efforts are necessary in boosting the development of the Sta. Rose growth center as well as bustling Gen. Trias in Cavite.

The new SLEX interchange will be located in Barangay Malitlit in Sta. Rosa while the circumferential road will serve as an alternate route from the Tagaytay-Balibago Road to the Mamplasan Interchange.

Yu noted that the new SLEX interchange can serve as an alternative route to its popular Laguna BelAir township development, which can be accessed through the Sta. Rosa and Mamplasan Interchanges and the Governor’s Hills project in Gen. Trias, Cavite.

Empire East Land is currently marketing the commercial center of Laguna BelAir in Sta. Rosa. The commercial center is zoned into two parts: The Strip along the township’s Rodeo Drive and The Center, which lines the Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay National Highway. The area already hosts McDonald’s, Metrobank, Servitek and a number of recently opened stores, an Internet café, a freight and cargo service center, a travel agency, a ready-to-wear boutique, a beauty salon, a bookstore and a laundry outlet.

In Gen. Trias, Cavite, the company’s affordable housing subsidiary, Empire East Properties, Inc., is currently fast-tracking land development work on the 16-hectare commercial component of its Governor’s Hills residential-commercial project.
