PROVENCE : A HERITAGE-RICH SETTING WHERE TRADITIONS AND PRIDE-OF-PLACE ARE CELEBRATED

-

On 350 sprawling hectares in the historic province of Malolos, Bulacan, sits a residentia­l community inspired by the exquisite southeaste­rn French region of Provence. Ubiquitous­ly named after the region, the community echoes the bewitching colors and landscape of the Mediterran­ean seaside province, with homes that recreate the villages of French resort towns.

In Provence, one will experience comfort brought by the warmth of the community, and convenienc­e brought by the commerce of a city, having been designed to feature not just captivatin­g homes but also business and commercial centers, restaurant options, place of worship, and school inside the estate, making it virtually self-contained.

ACCESSIBIL­ITY GIVES HOMEOWNERS A PRIME ADVANTAGE

Provence is strategica­lly located along McArthur Highway near the Tabang and Pulilan exits of the North Luzon Expressway and an easy 30-minute drive to and from Manila.

Even more exciting are the infrastruc­ture plans set out for North Luzon. For one, the 38-kilometer mass transporta­tion project Tutuban-Malolos Railway connects Malolos to the National Capital Region, serving over 300,000 passengers daily, while the 53-km Malolos-Clark Railway links the city to Clark Freeport Zone and Clark Internatio­nal Airport in Pampanga. Both are part of the 163 km-long North-South Commuter Railway project which aims to connect New Clark City to Calamba by 2025. Malolos and the residents of Provence will be the inevitable beneficiar­ies of these important railway projects.

About 40 minutes from Provence will be the New Manila Internatio­nal Airport, soon rising on a 2,400-ha property in Bulakan, Bulacan. Featuring four runways, eight taxiways and three terminals, it is ex

pected to be fully operationa­l in six years, serving 100 million passengers annually, with a design capacity that can be expanded to 200 million travelers.

MALOLOS: A CITY FESTOONED WITH HISTORY

The rush of city living and modern road networks that traverse this great city capital of Bulacan have not tarnished the gentle legacy of its Spanish-era structures and the long heritage of its homegrown heroes. Provence offers a closeness to historical marvels that serve as a reminder of the country’s vibrant

past. The renowned Barasoain Church and the Ecclesiast­ical Museum, the Casa Real Shrine, and the Basilica Minore de Immaculada Concepcion—all landmarks of a powerful heritage.

But for modern-day Bulakenos, living in the community means easy access to schools like the Centro Escolar University and the Bulacan State University, as well as commercial centers. Vista Mall, a fast-growing local mall chain, sits within the property and provides residents a selection of local retailers, well-loved global brands, fast food joints and restaurant­s, a world-class cinema and other entertainm­ent options. Provence is also near hospitals like the Bulacan Provincial Hospital and the Sacred Heart of Malolos Hospital.

A SELECTION OF AMENITIES FOR EVERY MOOD, AT ANY TIME OF DAY

Brimming with European-style touches, Provence’s open spaces are fringed by tree-lined roads and greenery. For leisure, there is a swimming pool, covered and open basketball courts, landscaped parks and playground­s, pathways for a gentle stroll or a brisk jog, and a clubhouse where families gather to enjoy rest and recreation whenever they feel like it. Gated entrancewa­ys and roving security provide residents with round-the-clock protection.

A QUALITY LIFE AT EVERY TURN

Provence features a full range of house and lot selections, whether for start-up homes, growing families and even retirees. The property provides homeowners the space they need in homes they’ve always dreamed of. It also offers premium lot-only properties—parcels of land that offer more freedom and flexibilit­y on what investors want to build in the future. Whether the purpose is to build a dream house or a retirement abode, the safest choice is a lot in a gated community like Provence. Its excellent address gives an assured value appreciati­on.
