The Sta. Lucia Lady Realtors were a professional women's volleyball club in the Premier Volleyball League. The team is owned by Sta. Lucia Realty and Development Corporation.
History
The team was formed in 2017 playing in the Philippine Super Liga (PSL). This marked the return of the company, Sta. Lucia Realty and Development Corporation, to Philippine major league sports. The company's previous foray in major league sports was the original Sta. Lucia Realtors professional basketball team, which played in the Philippine Basketball Association from 1993 to 2010.[1][2]
In 2021, the Lady Realtors turned professional with its transfer to the Premier Volleyball League (PVL) and were able to compete in one conference.[1]
In December 2021, the team took a leave of absence from the PVL and released its coach and all its players due to "uncertainties" of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Consequentially, the team will not be taking part in the 2022 season. It hoped to reactivate in 2023 when the situation improves,[3][4] but those plans did not materialize.[5]
