OUR HERITAGE
1940s | Young Pioneer
“You will never get to the top if you don’t start from the bottom.”
On April 14, 1948, a young Don Antonio O. Floirendo Sr. ventured south to explore opportunities in Mindanao, after heeding President Quirino’s call.
Due to his close ties with American officers and businessmen, Floirendo was encouraged to establish the first Ford dealership outside of Manila, which he named Davao Motor Sales or DAMOSA.
1950s-60s | Keen Foresight
With post-war Davao on the cusp of exceptional economic growth, DAMOSA flourished into the biggest Ford dealership in Mindanao. It was at this time that Floirendo, known for his keen foresight, began acquiring properties around the region.
1970s | New Heights
Don Antonio’s car company experienced fast growth, which led to the need for more space. Consequently, DAMOSA relocated from its original Bangkerohan site to Lanang, Davao City.
Not one to rest, Don Antonio established additional businesses in different fields – which include agriculture and trading. As a result, the ANFLO Management and Investment Corporation, or ANFLOCOR, was founded in 1977.
1980s | The Times
“In a world where the weak are often left behind, I learned to be tough early in life. If I didn’t then I knew I wouldn’t be able to help all those who depend on me.”
Despite DAMOSA’s solid growth, Ford’s main assembly plant in the Philippines closed in 1984. Undeterred, Don Antonio took this as an opportunity to shift gears and turned his automotive dealership into a real estate development company.
1990s | A New Chapter
Damosa, now a development company, unveiled an ambitious site plan for their Lanang property, signaling the start of a new chapter. The result was “The Damosa District,” the city’s first master-planned, mixed-use development.
2000s | New Name, New Pace
The new millennium marked a defining shift for what began as Don Antonio’s car dealership. DAMOSA advanced its vision through landmark developments—Damosa Gateway, Damosa Market Basket, Damosa Business Center, and Damosa IT Park—bringing commercial and lifestyle together in one vibrant complex. The company also expanded into tourism with the internationally recognized Microtel by Wyndham (formerly known as Microtel Inn & Suites). In 2004, DAMOSA rebranded as Damosa Land, Inc., adopting a new identity that reflected its growth and set the pace for a dynamic future.
2010s | Trailblazers
Damosa Land, Inc. has remained at the forefront of transformative developments across southern Philippines. Responding to Mindanao’s growing needs, it introduced commercial spaces in previously untapped areas, shaping communities that would become thriving economic hubs and cementing its reputation as a prime mover in the property industry. 2013 marked a milestone with the groundbreaking of its first residential project, Damosa Fairlane, in Lanang. Its success paved the way for more residential developments across the city, further strengthening its position as a leading homegrown developer in the region.
2015 | The Future & Beyond
“Many of the younger workers in Tadeco are now children of those who were with me in the beginning. It’s good to see that they also believed in what we have started because in the end, all these are for them. And together, we can assure the future of our children and our children’s children.”
Damosa Land’s story is rooted in a legacy of tradition, heritage, and excellence. More than movers and shakers, Damosa Land is a trailblazer and innovator, committed to progressive, future-ready living. This vision has shaped the company into becoming a leading real estate developer in Mindanao, dedicated to improving the quality of life across the region. It is also a story of collective passion, determination, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. As a catalyst for regional growth, Damosa Land will continue to push boundaries, set new standards, and move forward with the communities it grows alongside.
2020s | Sustainability and Innovation
As times change, businesses are called to rethink conventions. Damosa Land, being an eco-conscious company, we remains committed to its responsibility to the environment and the greater community. Sustainability has always been at the core of its operations, not only because it defines the future of real estate, but because it is a smarter way to live and work.
Through pioneering projects, it introduced new concepts in green innovation, making sustainability more accessible and achievable. This led to the rise of the country’s first agropolis (agricultural metropolis), integrating farming and modern township, and the establishment of Mindanao’s first certified green office building
2025 & Beyond
The year 2025 marks a significant milestone for Damosa Land as it becomes the first in the country to secure the SEC-RENT framework issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission for its first international brand hotel in the Island Garden City of Samal, TRYP by Wyndham Samal.
Looking ahead, Damosa Land anticipates more firsts and meaningful milestones to share with the rest of Mindanao, continuing to champion innovation and sustainability while fostering investment opportunities and job creation across the region.
Vision
In continuing the pioneering legacy of our founder, Don Antonio O. Floirendo, Sr., Damosa Land, Inc. shall solidify its position as Mindanao’s leading developer of real estate products and services designed to enhance the socio-economic development and uplift the quality of life in the region.
