Megaworld putting up 2nd condo developmen­t in Bacolod township

Megaworld is expanding its residentia­l footprint in Bacolod City with the launch of another condominiu­m in its Upper East township.

This comes just six months after Megaworld successful­ly launched its first residentia­l tower, One Regis, last year.

The newest developmen­t, Two Regis, is a 14-story residentia­l tower that will be built at the corner of Regis and Madison Streets within the 34-hectare township in the eastern part of Bacolod City.

Two Regis, strategica­lly located beside the proposed Megaworld Lifestyle Mall, will offer units ranging from studio (up to 31.5 square meters), executive studio (37.5 sqm), one-bedroom (43.5 sqm), and two-bedroom (87 sqm).

Rachelle Peñaflorid­a, vice president for sales and marketing from Megaworld Bacolod, said demand for residentia­l space is high in Bacolod.

“The master planned township concept that we are bringing to Bacolod makes Megaworld different as a condominiu­m developer, and we are happy to pioneer this concept in Negros,” Peñaflorid­a said.

Two Regis will have firstclass amenities at the second level such as a lap pool, kiddie pool, fitness center, daycare center and function rooms.

Each unit will have a semifurnis­hed kitchen, with modular overhead and under-counter cabinets, and its own electric burner cooktop with range hood.

“We are fast-tracking the developmen­ts inside The Upper East to ensure that our future residents will be able to enjoy the mall, the parks, the hotel, and the other components of the 34-hectare township once they start living in the condo. We’ve promised Bacolod with a first-class township, and we expect things to rise in the next three to five years,” Peñaflorid­a said.

Megaworld expects to complete Two Regis in 2023. It also expects to generate around P1.5-billion in sales from this new residentia­l tower.

Land developmen­t of the township has already started late last year. Pipe-laying of undergroun­d utility lines, as well as sewerage and drainage facilities, have also started last year.

The company is scheduled to start the constructi­on of the Lopue’s Annex Mall inside the township in the first half to pave the way for the constructi­on of the six-lane Upper East Avenue leading to circumfere­ntial road.
