It is a rare piece of residential real estate development that combines provincial character, urban amenities, and unspoiled natural settings. And that’s why the lots are going fast. All 70 residential lots in Phase 1 of San Marino Place had been sold, while 140 lots in Phase 2 are selling briskly. Several factors make this riverside community the prime choice.
San Marino Place’s location is irresistible. Only 1.5km away from city proper, the site is near important places like the University of Pangasinan and Colegio de Dagupan (formerly Computronix College); the Region 1 Medical Center (800m away); restaurants, entertainment establishments, and the Nepo Mall (700m away). Leisure is also just around the corner, with the Bonuan Golf Course, Bonuan Blue Beach, San Fabian Beach and other resorts nearby; as well as La Union’s surf and the city of Baguio, an hour and thirty minutes away.
The master plan for San Marino is first class. Done by Mario Arturo V. Lising Visioneering Group, the plan calls for a walled and gated perimeter; wide landscaped entrance with concrete pavers, streets and sidewalks; an efficient drainage system; fire hydrants; ample water supply and electricity; and, 24-hour security. The land was also raised to a higher elevation, with rip rap to protect the soil from erosion, making the property flood-free. Building will be regulated in line with the community’s aesthetic requirements.
Managen Development Corporation is a privately held corporation with over three decades of experience in business and real estate.
Its directors and officers include Generosa D. Manas, formerly a director of a real estate development company in Dagupan City, Antonio S. Manas Sr., formerly connected with two of the country’s top financial institutions and Antonio D. Manas, Jr., a civil engineer who owns and manages a construction firm involved in major projects in the Philippines.
San Marino Place is Managen Development’s latest project. Phase one of this residential subdivision has already been sold out and the company is now developing its second phase.
This is why many see the property as a place for retirement, an investment, or the ideal place to raise a family.
A Rare Gem
Nothing, however, beats San Marino’s natural beauty.
Looking more like a resort than a residential community, San Marino Place makes going home feel like you’re on a permanent vacation, a first class subdivision with affordable prices.
Located in Dawel, Bonuan, Pangasinan, San Marino Place promotes resort-style living in a residential setting. Its recreational facilities include a clubhouse; a mixed-use court that’s convertible for different sports; an infinity pool by the river; a small gym and fitness room, a mini marina with decks for fishing and kayaks, a promenade lined with trees for strolling, jogging and biking; a park, a mini petting zoo, and a children’s playground; and a picnic area with barbeque pit.
