From stunning natural attractions to prominent commercial hubs, Rizal Province offers a diverse mix of experiences waiting to be discovered, especially as it celebrates its 165th Founding Anniversary.
Life in the Grand East is defined by balance, connectivity, and having a little bit of everything. Its proximity to the metro provides a dynamic, city-living feel, yet it retains a peaceful countryside vibe as you travel deeper into its municipalities.
Over the years, the province has seen massive development, spanning from infrastructure to commercial establishments. This progress is evident in top municipalities like Cainta and Taytay, which host prominent shopping malls and several large-scale real estate projects. This is in addition to the rapid growth of Antipolo, which is already a thriving city in its own right.
From these developments, it is clear that the real estate sector is a major driving force behind the province’s progress. At the forefront of this thriving market are key developers who continue to shape the landscape, led by industry giants like Sta. Lucia Land.
Sta. Lucia Land is the largest developer in Rizal Province and has rightfully earned its reputation as a pioneer. It introduced first-of-its-kind developments to the area, including the first mall for Rizaleños—the famed Sta. Lucia Mall. Built in the 1990s, the mall continues to draw major crowds today.
In Rizal, Sta. Lucia has developed over 60 projects across 9 of its 13 municipalities, each designed to uplift the lifestyle of local residents..
Sta. Lucia Residenze: A charming condotel complex
As one of Sta. Lucia’s flagship projects, this development stands out as one of the most refined properties in Cainta, Rizal. Featuring five premium condotel towers, Sta. Lucia Residenze elevates modern living with top-notch amenities, including a swimming pool and curated units. Its location adjacent to the Sta. Lucia Mall grants property owners seamless access to essential establishments—such as grocery stores, arcades, and lifestyle shops—as well as major transport hubs like the LRT-2 Marikina-Pasig Station.

Alta Monte: Live at the heights

Envisioned as a refined residential development, it is designed to fit the growing needs of families and retirees alike. It is also a highly accessible, drivable leisure destination.
Sta. Lucia Business Center: A new shopping destination
This six-story commercial development is the newest extension of the Sta. Lucia Mall and is directly connected to the LRT-2 Marikina-Pasig Station. This promising addition houses upcoming lifestyle brands and office tenants. In 2025, the popular lifestyle store KKV opened a branch here, while the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) opened its Revenue District Office (RDO) to serve the Taytay and Cainta areas.
The grand east calls everyone to explore what it has to offer. With industry giants like Sta. Lucia Land serving as one of its homegrown brands, exciting opportunities surely await. It is time to uncover what lies within Rizal Province and embrace the spark of a potential new lifestyle.
