Tycoon Lance Gokongwei told The STAR that the group continues to explore other sites where it can potentially bring and introduce the NUSTAR brand.

"We're just looking at various opportunities, but nothing concrete at this point," he said in a recent interview.

At present, however, Gokongwei said the group's main focus is making the NUSTAR Integrated Resort a more attractive site.

The Gokongweis' Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) opened earlier this month NUSTAR Hotel, the first ultra-luxury Filipino-branded hotel in the country, within the world-class integrated resort.

NUSTAR Hotel is the second major hospitality development of RLC within the NUSTAR Integrated Resort, following the successful debut of Fili, its Filipino five-star hotel brand, in 2022.
