Highlighting luxurious beachfront condominiums for smart investment and retirement.
Landco Pacific Corporation successfully staged its second annual US Roadshow to cater to the evolving needs of Fil-Ams and US investors and retirees for their dream homes. Key activities included a kick-off event at Rosewood Hotel, Menlo Park, California, official opening of its office at the Philippine Center in San Francisco and forging of an international partnership with Susan Po-Rufino, Luxury Property Specialist of Coldwell Banker Realty. A series of other pocket events culminated in a well-attended final gathering at the Hilton Pasadena.
“It’s an honor to return to the U.S. for our second roadshow,” said Landco Pacific President and CEO Erickson Y. Manzano. “We’re eager to help our kababayans realize their dream of owning beachfront homes — premium spaces that they can enjoy now and pass down the line as lasting legacies. With excellent rental income potential, these beach homes are not just dreams realized; they’re smart investments as well.”
Manzano shared that Landco Pacific’s US Roadshow this year features more options for Fil-Ams and US investors and retirees with its latest developments comprised of iconic beachfront condotels: The newly-launched The Nautilus at CaSoBe (Calatagan South Beach) and The Spinnaker at Club Laiya, San Juan, along with beachfront luxury condominium The Residences at Terrazas de Punta Fuego, Nasugbu, Batangas.
These properties are smart investments, with The Nautilus and The Spinnaker offering excellent rental income potential from the tourist market.

Landco Pacific’s upscale properties inspire Fil-Ams and US citizens to invest in the Philippines, build their dream beach homes and create a community with shared interests and passions in the country’s seaside paradise. The developments are highly sought-after, given Landco Pacific’s track record of high-value appreciation with its legacy project of Punta Fuego in Batangas growing in value to about 1,000% since it was launched in the ’90s; and its desirable portfolio of prime residential and leisure properties in key cities across the country.
Renowned for pioneering premium landscapes for more than 30 years and with the financial strength as a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) with its chairman, Manuel V. Pangilinan, Landco Pacific received six awards for its commitment to excellence in development, design and sustainability, at the prestigious 12th Annual PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, a month before its US Road Show. Landco Pacific is hailed as a Highly-Commended Best Lifestyle Developer for its latest premium developments of Leisure Tourism Estates 15-hectare CaSoBe and 23-hectare Club Laiya in Batangas. Mr. Pangilinan, concurrent Chairman of Landco Pacific, was also honored as the 2024 Philippines Real Estate Personality of the Year.
The US Roadshow was spearheaded by Manzano together with Vice President for Commercial and Customer Experience Gerard Penaflor, Sales and Marketing Manager Charisse Santiano and Landco Pacific team.
Kick-Off Event and Inauguration of Landco Pacific Office in San Francisco
Strengthening Landco Pacific’s sustained presence in the US are its key partners.
