Continued growth through the years... When Martial Law was imposed in 1972, a new economic order was implemented in the country. Notable within that year was the expansion of housing facilities. This was due to the pressing demand from the middle class. Solid Builders, Inc. (SBI) was then formed in 1973 to meet the need for mass housing construction. Within that same year, Pasig Green Park Village (180 hectares) was opened, then Marikina Green heights (45 hectares) and Green heights Newtown (35 hectares). Two more sister companies were organized in 1975.Solid Rock Aggregates undertook the large volume requirements of the mother company for construction materials. The other one is Agricultural Development Corporation. It converted idle raw land into productive agricultural ventures. With the concerted effort of the companies, the V. V. Soliven Shopping Complex was started in 1976. By December 1978, the offices of the Group of Companies merged less than one roof at the V. V. Soliven Shopping Complex blessed by no less than Jaime Cardinal Sin. An achievement for the V. V. Soliven Group of Companies was being voted in the 1978 edition of the Top Corporations in the Philippines wherein V. V. Soliven Realty Corp., placed number 2 in Real State Industry. In 1980, a greater emphasis on mass housing was programmed by the Marcos administration with the onset of Pag-ibig Housing Loan Program. The group of companies met the challenge of the 80�s with commitment as it took part in the development and promotion of Pag-ibig Housing. In 1988, it opened Capitol Park Homes ll in Novaliches, Quezon City. From a mere four (4) hectares, the project today has grown to a total of 35 hectares with over 1,000 housing units.
