Larger than life dreams with Northpoint

MANILA, Philippines - Say “Davao” and what immediately comes to mind is the hugeness of the province and of Davao City itself, popularly considered the capital city of Mindanao. Boasting a wide expanse of highways and a bustling international airport and seaport, Davao City is indeed one of the busiest business and tourist hubs south of the Philippines.

Local and foreign tourists certainly wouldn’t want to miss out on Nature at its finest in Davao’s captivating beach resorts, dive spots, and lush mountain hideaways among which is the Philippines’ highest peak, Mount Apo. While cosmopolitan Davao is fast giving Metro Manila and Metro Cebu a run for their money when it comes to sophisticated living and dining.

Davao is all about the good life. The urban lifestyle combined with the warmth of living in the province has drawn and continues to draw individuals and families from all walks of life. Small wonder that Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc. has chosen Davao City to launch Northpoint, its first vertical residential development outside of Mega Manila.

Warmly received by the city’s residents and investors, this five-story British Colonial inspired structure has come to represent stylish living for those seeking peace and privacy while still wanting to be close to the city’s major business and entertainment hubs. Manchester, Northpoint’s first tower, is almost sold out. Birmingham, the second tower, has been unveiled to accommodate the increasing number of buyers.

“Northpoint is another sign of our aggressive expansion, treading unexplored territories. Living in a condominium outside of Metro Manila used to be unheard of,” explained Jing Serrano, president and CEO of Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc. “However, we know the pulse of our market and have seen how fast-growing cities, like Davao, would welcome such developments.”

Located in an elevated area at the corner of JP Laurel Avenue and Buhangin Road, Northpoint takes the lead in offering Davaoeños facilities that discriminating urban dwellers demand. It is a stone’s throw away from Davao’s booming business, education and leisure district. Residents will enjoy such amenities as a closed circuit TV system that homeowners can easily access via their own cable connection; a clubhouse with multi-purpose halls, meditation pond and fitness gym; an al fresco café; a salinated swimming pool; a wellness pool (the first in Davao); an internal shuttle service, which makes Northpoint the only condo community in the city with such an amenity; pocket parks and gardens and a children’s playground. Northpoint is also the first condo development in Davao whose units are Wi-Fi and cable ready, with the clubhouse offering free Wi-Fi.

Two things make Northpoint even more special. First, the property houses The Mansion, one of Davao’s historical treasures. Formerly owned by the Scottish family, Ker, this gem of a structure will be restored and is envisioned to be a museum and premier venue for public and private functions. Second, Northpoint is Davao City’s first Pine Estate, boasting lush foliage, a natural stream, blooming gardens, and scenic green surroundings. Over two million pesos worth of Caribbean pine trees imported from New Zealand were transplanted to the property, adding to the already verdant environment. Nature preserved is close to any Davaoeño’s heart and will definitely appeal to the city’s ever-increasing number of settlers from the neighboring provinces.

 “We take pride in offering Northpoint to Davao, as our response to this charming city’s rapid growth,” affirms Arthur Secuya, architect, and Planning and Design Group Head of Northpoint.  “People nowadays seek serenity while wanting to be closely connected to their businesses. This is the kind of lifestyle we offer here.”
