Always happy to see this handsome guy, Tomas. He’s super funny so I’m always entertained But aside from that – this guy is the mastermind behind the real estate business of the family. Tomas P. Lorenzo, President of Lapanday Properties Philippines Inc. In 2001 he started with Torre Lorenzo which is a condo building catering to students in the area. 13 years after he launched 2 Torre Lorenzo in the same vicinity which is a 36 floor condo building. At present there are two more towers he is building – The one in this photo is Torre Central which will be in the UST area and another one called Torre Sur in Las Pinas – both soon to be finished. He calls them focused communities because they really study the area and the market and they build according to the needs of that market. That’s only in Manila! He also has developments in Davao! Three projects! Congratulations Tomas!!! Super amazing!!!!
That day I visited Torre Lorenzo 2 which is in the same street as Torre Lorenzo and this is right across De La Salle University along Taft Avenue and only minutes away from College of St. Benilde, St. Scholastica’s College, Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas. It is a 35 storey building with around 23 units per floor! 
Tomas toured me around the building and I really thought that he did such a great job! I told him that the kids living here are so lucky they live in this place!!! You will see why!
There is a Fully Booked store right in front
which makes it convenient for the students in the building and nearby!
They have a very nice and formal sales and leasing office right in the lobby of the building.
By the way there are still units for sale 🙂 So do call now and check out 2 Torre Lorenzo. Click below to go to their website for more information
Mail room
There is one restaurant in the building and it’s always full and with a long line! 
It was afternoon so not many people but for sure during meal times, that is when the crowd comes in
They even have a bank! No need to go outside the building anymore!
Laundry service. Even other buildings come here! Thats how well thought out this building is that it is self contained and so convenient for the tenants of the building. And I am sure the businesses are happy too they have a captured and sure market!
There is a floor where they have a study room by the pool! How nice!!! Though no one was swimming and they were studying – it’s just nice to have water and a place that is conducive to studying properly
Everything is so clean, neat, organised and I wish I had a place like this when I was studying! 🙂
This is a view from a studio apartment!!! WOW!!!! Manila Bay view!! This is prime real estate right there 🙂
This is a photo of the model unit of a studio. The wife of Tomas, Milet, is responsible for all the beautiful interiors of the model units. She did not want me to take her photo!! 🙁 But she is amazing
One bedroom
Two bedroom
The view from the roof deck of the building!!! SO NICE and so windy up there. The tenants can go up and hang out here too. Private events can be held here as well
Tomas told me that they will help you lease your units by pooling them and renting them out. And the beauty is whatever income was generated among all the units- it will be shared equally among the pool 🙂 So you don’t have to worry too much 
Here is the big boss again with another of the two developments he is working on – Torre Sur
2 of the 3 projects in the city of Davao of Tomas Lorenzo/ Lapanday Properties Phils.
A Hotel and Residence in partnership with Dusit Hotel called Siam 8000.
The other one is Ciudades which is a Community with 5 subdivisions and will have schools, malls, etc. There are subdivisions that are existing already and the development to complete the whole community is a 10 year project which is already ongoing
The other development outside Davao City of Tomas Lorenzo ( Lapanday Properties Philippines ) is Lubi Plantation in Compostela Valley – 25 mins by boat from the city or about an hour by car. There will be 4 developments in this island. The beach club will be opening in a few weeks and people can visit for the day and enjoy the island. On the other side of the island will be a hotel that will be for timeshare and club membership – also by Dusit. Tomas told me that it will be a 1920s South Pacific coconut plantation inspired resort! How exciting!!!
Aside from all that – Tomas has a landscaping company and has a Chevrolet dealer in Sta. Rosa. The ultimate mogul!! 🙂
