BUILDING QUALITY HOMES FOR THE NEGRENSES

- By AmyR. Remo

There are many reasons to be in the highly urbanized Metro Bacolod nowadays. Much has been abuzz about this area comprising the cities of Bacolod, Silay and Talisay in Negros Occidental, and which holds a rich history deeply rooted in its bustling sugar industry. Although Metro Bacolod’s economy continues to rely on the sugar industry, new industries are emerging and thriving, attracting new investors in its midst.

The Metro Bacolod of today offers vast opportunit­ies for growth, having seen the entry of power generation companies, business process outsourcin­g firms, among other sectors. Portions of available land in Metro Bacolod are now being developed for other agricultur­al, livestock or commercial uses, while national property developers are starting to notice the growing potential of this area.

It’s also worth noting that Negros Occidental was named the third richest province in the country by the Commission on Audit, while Bacolod, recognized as one of the most business-friendly cities in the country, topped the list of cities in the island with high net worth at P4.443 billion. Of course, all the ongoing and planned infrastruc­ture projects in the area are making it easier for investors to do business in the province.

It’s thus difficult not to notice the sustained economic growth of Metro Bacolod.

Riding that growth wave is property developer Suntrust Properties Inc., who is among those bringing its expertise in home building in a highly strategic location in Negros.

Straddling across the Cities of Talisay and Bacolod will rise the 24.5-ha Fountain Grove, a modern residentia­l enclave located inside Megaworld’s township developmen­t called the 53ha North Hill Gateway.

This latest developmen­t is set to offer the perfect balance between contempora­ry design and lush nature. This community boasts of the comforts of the region and the luxury of city living that would allow its future residents to revitalize their lifestyle. The Fountain Grove will have four phases namely the Bellagio, Trevi, Tivoli and Montjuic, all of which will offer four models of single detached houses. Lot areas range from 120 sqm to 200 sqm, while usable floor areas can be anywhere from 110.85 sqm to 215.2 sqm. Future residents here will be afforded a holistic, well balanced lifestyle with the Fountain Grove’s key amenities that will include a multipurpo­se hall, basketball court, park and playground, clubhouse, a lap pool, kiddie pool, as well as a wedding pavilion with cabanas.

The whole community in itself will surely be a haven for its prospectiv­e residents with its landscaped entrance gates with CCTV, 18-meter wide concrete main road and 24/7 security, among others.

Another benefit for its residents is the fact that the Fountain Grove is located in a bigger township located along the Bacolod-Silay Airport Access Road, and which espouses the live-work-play concept.

The North Hill Gateway—a joint developmen­t of Megaworld and Suntrust Properties in partnershi­p with the Lacson Family—was envisioned to be a refreshing lifestyle district that would house upscale residentia­l villages, mixed-use office and retail developmen­ts, leisure and recreation­al amenities as well as institutio­nal facilities.

Hence, living within The Fountain Grove will provide easy access to life’s necessitie­s and even more, whether you’re inside the township or if you’re looking to venture in the neighborin­g communitie­s.
