The Day a Real Estate Corporation Froze from the Inside — And How JKNC Unlocked Its Multi-Million Potential
Primeline Realty Development Corp., a domestic stock corporation in the real estate and property development industry based in Mactan, Cebu, was once rich in assets but frozen in function. Initially, founder-led with siblings as incorporators, the company lacked a financial system, had no clear business model, and suffered from a paralyzed board due to unresolved inheritance disputes. Valuable properties sat idle while internal conflicts halted progress. This corporate profile examines how JKNC’s intervention introduced a financial structure, facilitated succession planning, and strategically untangled governance deadlock. By reviving the corporation’s operational core and enabling asset mobilization, JKNC transformed Primeline from a dormant entity into a growth-ready development firm with multi-million potential.

Structure before JKNC: Founder-led with siblings as incorporators; no financial system; no business model; assets stagnant; board paralyzed by inheritance conflict
The Story
Primeline Realty was supposed to build legacies. It held seven parcels of land across Cebu and Mandaue, including one prized beachfront lot. But after its founder died, the business froze. The Board, composed of his children, couldn’t agree on anything. No president was elected, no development occurred, and property taxes began to pile up. Board meetings were indefinitely postponed, tenants stopped paying, and cash flow dried up. With no one legally authorized to sign documents, the company came to a standstill.
“We had land worth ₱300 million. But the company couldn’t move ₱30,000 without conflict,” said one anonymous director.
That was when one of the directors reached out to JKNC, choosing Business and Management Consulting over dissolution.
