"The Que family has been into the supermarket business for over 30 years in Iloilo. The Que family owns several properties for their expansion and were also planning to expand their own community malls but decided to work with CMCCI instead, recognizing the synergy that will be created by the partnership between DD and ICDC," Double Dragon said.

CMCCI is 66 percent owned by DoubleDragon and 34 percent owned by SM Investments Corp.

The first lot, located in Ungka, Pavia, has an area of 11,918 square meters. It is right beside the Pavia People's Transport Terminal, and is at the corner of the national highway which links downtown Iloilo and the international airport.
