BrandedUp in partnership with
From stunning natural destinations to prominent commercial hubs, Rizal Province offers a diverse range of attractions worth discovering, especially as it celebrates its 125th Founding Anniversary this month.
Life in the grand east is defined by the idea of balance, connectivity, and a little bit of everything. Its proximity to the metro provides a dynamic city living experience, yet it retains a serene countryside vibe—especially as you venture further into its municipalities.
Over the years, the province in the grand east has seen massive developments, from infrastructure to commercial establishments. This progress is evident in top municipalities such as Cainta and Taytay, which already host prominent shopping malls and several large-scale real estate projects. Of course, this is aside from the development of Antipolo, which is already considered a city of its own.
From this observation, one can deduce how the real estate sector is a major driving factor for the progress of this province. At the forefront of this thriving industry are key developers who continue to shape the market, with big names such as leading developer Sta. Lucia Land.
Sta. Lucia Land is indeed the premier developer in Rizal Province, having earned its reputation as a true pioneer. The company introduced first-of-its-kind developments, including the famed Sta. Lucia Mall in the 1990s—the very first mall for Rizaleños—which continues to draw major crowds today.
To date, Sta. Lucia has developed over 60 projects across 9 of Rizal's 13 municipalities, with each one designed to uplift the lifestyle of Rizal residents.
Sta. Lucia Residenze: A charming condotel complex
This development is one of Sta. Lucia’s flagship projects and one of the more refined properties in Cainta, Rizal. Featuring five premium towers, Sta. Lucia Residenze elevates modern living with top-notch amenities such as a swimming pool and curated units.
It is adjacent to the Sta. Lucia Mall, giving property owners seamless access to essential establishments such as groceries, arcades, and lifestyle stores, as well as major transport hubs like the LRT-2 Marikina-Pasig Station.
Palo Alto Leisure Farm and Residences: A nature escape
Nestled upon the gentle hills of Baras, Rizal, is the enchanting Palo Alto Leisure Farm and Residences. This scenic development offers a spacious community abundant in the gentle pleasures of nature.
Imagine your home surrounded by lush greenery and discover its forest-like areas, where you can escape to a private sanctuary for a deep commune with nature. It’s the perfect setting for those who love countryside retreats and an easy-paced lifestyle.
Alta Monte: Live at the heights
This soon-to-rise community gives you a lovely view of the Pililla Windmills, but beyond the view, Alta Monte offers a refreshing location in the east to harness a harmonious and vibrant lifestyle.
It is envisioned to be a refined residential development designed to fit the growing needs of families and even those looking for a retirement property. It is also a very accessible and drivable leisure destination.
Sta. Lucia Business Center: A new shopping destination
The 6-story commercial development is the newest extension at the Sta. Lucia Mall and is directly connected to the LRT-2 Marikina-Pasig Station. This promising addition will house upcoming lifestyle brands and office tenants. Back in 2025, the popular lifestyle store KKV opened one of its branches here, while the Bureau of Internal Revenue opened its Regional District Office to serve the Taytay and Cainta areas.
The Grand East is calling everyone to explore what it has to offer, and with big names such as Sta. Lucia Land being one of its home brands, exciting opportunities surely await. It’s time to uncover what lies within Rizal Province and embrace the spark of a potential new lifestyle.
