Camella unveils Savannah

MANILA, Philippines - After 30 years of sheltering the Philippines in masterplanned, space-efficient and secure communities, Camella continues to redefine the scale of vastness and raise the standard that the industry adheres to. The pioneer in the affordable housing segment, it has built over 200,000 homes through 87 projects - maintaining a strong presence in Mega Manila and 17 other key provincial destinations and 36 cities and municipalities while aggressively expanding to other regions.

Attesting to its nationwidest reach is the massive Savannah development - truly a crowning achievement as Camella celebrates 10 successful years of fruitful presence in the Western Visayas and over 15 years in the entire Visayas region. This immense property occupies more than 300 hectares. Located near the Mandurriao Church and Plaza, SM Iloilo, Jaro Cathedral and the new Iloilo Airport in Sta. Barbara, Savannah is so huge it actually spans the three districts of Pavia, Oton and San Miguel.

Also within its neighborhood is the Georgia International Academy which offers pre-school, grade school and high school education. Envisioned to be a leading provider of quality education, it aims to nurture young minds and develop citizens who will later contribute positively not only to the nation but to the global community as well.

Further complementing this is the Savannah Square — an innovative concept in commercial development designed to reflect the aesthetics of the city. The enchanting city of Savannah is known for the 21 squares or parks which express the different aspects of its history and culture. The Savannah Square draws inspiration from this novel idea to create a unique retail area that includes access to basic needs including groceries, banks, salons, a wet market, and filling stations. It will also include areas for family activities such as cinemas, trade fairs, carnivals, and sporting events alongside what is envisioned to be a thriving night spot with restaurants, bars, and concert venues.

“The Savannah development best exemplifies Camella’s commitment to create communities that raise the Filipino’s quality of living. Its success affirms that Camella has secured the widest geographic reach in the industry, serving across various market segments. Savannah is fully developed with over 5,000 residents and over 1,000 homes built. And this astounding success has been replicated in most, if not all, of the property developments of Camella. Within this year, it will also be launched in Canlubang, Baliwag in Bulacan, Tuguegarao, Legaspi City in Albay, and Caloocan, among many others,” said Ging Quismundo, Camella head for VisMin area.

Four themed enclaves

Within the Savannah development are four distinct communities — each one was created to cater to the specific needs of residents with diverse requirements, yet all adhering to the inspiration and architecture of the elegant and charming American city of Savannah. The Savannah Crest, Trails, Glades and Glen respond to a variety of lifestyles designed to provide a cherished haven one would love to come home to.

The Crest has larger lot cuts ranging from 200 to 500 square meters as lot owners are given the flexibility to build their luxury homes. The bigger space affords its residents ample areas to engage in outdoor activities like gardening and playtime for children.

Savannah was developed by Camella Communities, a subsidiary of Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc., the country’s largest home builder. Communities Iloilo is a testament to the developer’s vision of changing the countryside and housing the nation. For more information on Savannah and other Camella developments, call: 772-1096 for South Manila; 718-1896 for East Manila; 418-0975 for North Manila; (044) 796-0078 for North Luzon; (043) 757-0702, (033) 337 7699 for Visayas and (082) 298-0387 for Mindanao projects, or log on to www.camella.com.ph.
