Johndorf lines up 6 projects for 2017

JOHNDORF Ventures Corp. (JVC) will be more aggressive in 2017, with at least six projects already lined up that are part of the P2 billion capital outlay the company had set aside for five years that began in 2013.

As the year of the fire rooster begins, the company will open and launch the fifth subdivision at the 12-hectare Johndorf township in Calawisan, its first project in mid-southeastern Cebu, and another in suburban Cebu City.

More housing developments are also in the pipeline in Mindanao for next year, said Michele D. Chiu-Bacungan, JVC sales and marketing manager.

One will be in Iligan City, where the company started 30 years ago, she said.

Another will be in Davao City, where the company aims to surpass the success of Portville Davao two years ago, she added.

JVC will also embark with its first project in General Santos City in southern Mindanao, she disclosed.

“2017 will be a big year for us,” remarked Bacungan.

The company had been aggressive this year developing two subdivisions in Cebu and embarking on a major project in Cagayan de Oro City.

As the year is about the close, the company is working with partner brokers and agents to sell out the remaining inventories of Portville Prime and Navona, Bacungan said.

Situated beside Portville Mactan in northeastern LapuLapu City, JVC built Portville Prime in a 1.5-hectare property that is now a community of middle-class 2-storey affordable townhomes.

Portville Prime came as the company’s first attempt at offering an economic-to-middle class project with bigger dimensions than usual for the market category in terms of lot and floor areas, width of main and arterial roads, and more.

JVC developed Navona as the fourth of six subdivisions with a commercial hub planned for the township of Johndorf Ca- lawisan in southwestern Mactan in a three-hectare property with 431 Asian-themed townhouses.

Midway this year, the company introduced Montierra Uptown in the capital of northern Mindanao, now the trademark of the company for economic-to-middle class housing that evolved from the Portville Prime experience.

Planned for 600 Asian townhomes, JVC is set to turn over units in the first tranche of phase one by the first quarter of 2017 in the 7.5-hectare project that will have wider roads, spacious homes, a grander clubhouse, and more amenities.

Johndorf has been building homes Filipinos aspire to have for 30 years now, and built along a legacy for its stakeholders, especially the homeowners.

More than providing them with “sustainable communities that bring them a better life,” CEO Richard Lim said JVC also looked at the growth of its employees and those who have worked with the company through the years.
