Megaworld launching 53-hectare upscale Bacolod residential village
Urban developer Megaworld Corporation is launching its first upscale residential village in the Visayas, in the 53-hectare Northill Gateway township in Bacolod City.
Called Forbes Hill, the high-end neighborhood in the up and coming lifestyle district along the new BacolodSilay Airport Access Road, will soon rise in a 15-hectare prime portion of Bacolod side of the township.
It features bigger lot sizes, wide street roads and first-class leisure and recreational amenities, promising a low-density community that evokes exclusivity and privacy to residents.
“Finally, Megaworld is rolling out a premiere residential offering for Bacolod. This is the company’s first venture for a luxury village outside of Metro Manila because we recognize the sophisticated market in this wonderful province,” said Megaworld Premier Bacolod vice president for sales and marketing Rachelle Penaflorida.
Only 197 lots will be sold with sizes ranging from 449 square meters to 861 square meters. Prices start at to per square meter.
“This means there will only be 197 homeowners or even less in Forbes Hill. This is why exclusivity and privacy are guaranteed. And this is the true promise of luxury,” explained Penaflorida.
Forbes Hill has a low density of only around 13 residential lots per hectare. Around one-third of the entire village will be allocated for open and green spaces, and roads that are 12 to 20 meter wide.
The upscale neighborhood will feature first-class amenities exclusively for its residents which include an events hall, fitness center, game room, entertainment room, lap pool, children’s pool, a gazebo park and a basketball court.
“More importantly, we are giving our residents a wider breadth of lifestyle amenities that the entire Northill Gateway township brings – from malls and commercial centers to office spaces and educational institutions – everything will just be within reach,” said Penaflorida.
She added that “Megaworld is bringing its pioneering LIVE-WORKPLAY-LEARN concept to the future residents of Forbes Hill which will be the first in Negros Occidental and Bacolod City.”
Megaworld, along with its whollyowned subsidiary Suntrust Properties, Inc. and in partnership with the Lacson Family, is developing the 53-hectare Northill Gateway which is envisioned to be a refreshing lifestyle district that will house residential villages, a 7.5-hectare mixed-use office and retail development, leisure and recreational hubs as well as institutional facilities.
