...this piece of news disproves speculation that Lexmark is not continuing its project



Lexmark ‘confident’ about skills of IT grads in Cebu

AN INTERNATIONAL information technology (IT) company sees “a lot” of potential in IT graduates in Cebu and in the entire country.

While Lexmark Research and Development Corp. (LRDC) faces the challenge of recruiting the “best of the best” in today’s IT graduates, company president and chief executive officer Stan Combs said he is optimistic Cebu can produce world class employees who can meet international standards.

“The company has seen a lot of potential in the Philippines, especially in Cebu, with regard to the human resource sector, which is also why the company it is expanding its operations,” he said.

He said LRDC will be hiring more people in Cebu for positions that will be created with the expansion.

LRDC has invested about P2.4 billion for the construction of two new buildings for its offices at the Cebu Business Park.

Long stay

Combs said the investment is an indication that LRDC intends to stay longer, which will spell more employment opportunities for Cebuano programmers, engineers, finance managers and accountants in the long run.

Combs expressed confidence that the skills of its employees in Cebu would be able to bring Lexmark on top of the competition in the printer market.

He said Cebu’s strategic location, the people’s English proficiency, good education, a receptive government, transportation access and skilled work force were among the major considerations of LRDC when it decided to establish operations in the city in 1991.

LRDC has operations in the United States and India.

According to Combs, the seven-floor LRDC building, whose construction is expected to be completed by the middle of next year, will house several offices and high technology development laboratories.

The second LRDC building, with 22 floors, will house a combination of offices, laboratories and parking spaces. It is set to be finished by the end of 2008. (MMM)

City Lights condo units post positive sales record

The Freeman 10/18/2006

The robust demand for high-end condominium units in Cebu resulted to positive sales performance of the 216 units of City Lights Gardens, which is currently under construction.

Barely a year since the P1.3 billion City Lights phase 2 was launched, 50 percent of the units have already been disposed, said Anita Go Blanco, City Lights Gardens sales and marketing manager in an interview yesterday.

Developed by Singaporean-led Syntech Properties, Inc. the additional two towers, which have a total of 216 chic condominium units targeted to be finished by 2008.

According to Blanco, the company has noted a mixed buyer profiles that includes huge number of foreigners, balikbayan-retirees, and local investors.

The additional 20-story twin towers will complete the Syntech Properties Inc., project in Cebu which started in 1997 with the establishment of the first two towers in phase 1 that have a total of 144 condominium units.

Blanco said the construction of the two towers is now moving up, the first tower is now on 30 percent completion. The construction of second tower will start by January next year.

Because of the properties' strategic location in Nivel Hills, which provides a total view of Cebu, and its established name in the condominium development, some buyers even bought units without even visiting the location.

A good number of Japanese nationals are now going back to invest and buy good condominium products in Cebu, Blanco said.

Filipino dollar earners, aside from the balikbayans who wanted to retire here, are also one of the growing markets for the projects. Blanco said the company has introduced an easy payment terms in partnership with some banks like BPI, to provide easy payment facilities for overseas Filipino buyers.

Syntech Properties had invested at least P2.6 billion for the creation of the four towers, situated in a four-hectare property owned by its Cebuano partner located up in the Hills of Nivel.

Today, the company will be holding an exclusive Mid-Autumn Festival called Moon Cake at City Lights, in cooperation with Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) to invite the discriminating preferred clients of the bank to see the update of the project.

Economists earlier projected that the demand for condominium units in Cebu is expected to double in the next few years, because of the limited flat lands in Cebu, which makes flat residential developments more expensive.

The charm of Cebu as leisure and business destination is also one of the few attractions, why both foreign and local investors would want to own a property here.
