Council flags construction condominium-mall in Busay

The Cebu City Council has flagged the construction of a 33-storey condominium tower to be complemented with a shopping mall, citing risks of paralyzing mobility in the area and potential compromise of the city’s zoning compliance.

- 

This stemmed from the privilege speech of Councilor Pastor “Jun” Alcover, who presented the project by Grand Land Inc. in partnership with the Gaisano Grand Group before the body.

In his speech, the project has drawn scrutiny from councilors who raised issues ranging from traffic congestion and zoning compliance to water supply and environmental risks.

The council then agreed to summon representatives from the City Administrator’s Office, City Planning and Development Office, Cebu City Transportation Office, Department of Engineering and Public Works, Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and officials of Barangay Busay for an executive session to dive deeper into the project’s compliance and implications on March 3, 2026.
