DENR halts Santa Fe construction in Cebu over alleged violations
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has suspended the environmental clearance certificate (ECC) of Fifth Avenue Property Development Corp.'s Stria Santa Fe Project in Cebu for exceeding the maximum allowed height.
The project was permitted a maximum height of 10 meters or three floors to maintain the landscape profile.
DENR officials discovered that the construction had reached four floors, violating the approved height limit.
This violation led to multiple notices of violation and a P270,000 fine issued by the EMB.
The ECC was suspended on August 15, 2025, after the company failed to pay the imposed fine.
Paquito Melicor of DENR-EMB Region 7 stated that exceeding allowable development limits risks environmental damage.
