Maria Luisa Properties completes dev't of new project

CEBU, Philippines - It was almost five decades ago when Maria Luisa Properties of the Osmeña family developed the first gated village in Cebu which has grown to be the metropolis' most prestigious address.

In 2011, it pioneered again when the company introduced The Heritage, its latest premier residential community that was launched with the development nearing completion. This is unprecedented in property development of today where pre-development selling is the more common practice.

In the words of Mrs. Annie Osmeña Aboitiz, "at The Heritage, what they see is what they get," as she describes what buyers have shared with her - the families can see the final terrain of their future home and can even build on the lots immediately. As of today, the roads and utilities are in place, the landscaping almost done, and the construction of the clubhouse and the amenities are well in progress. And with the individual titles available, it affords prospective homeowners all the options for financing the acquisition of a new home.

The Heritage is nestled in the rolling terrains of Jagobiao, Mandaue City on what was once the Osmeña family's farm, Hacienda Mandaue. In fact, Mrs. Aboitiz only discovered that the properties being offered for her development was part of her family's farm when her team began tracing back the titles of the properties she purchased in the last few years. To her pleasant surprise, she saw her grandfather's name in the land titles several decades back. Thus her commitment to develop this into the best legacy one can offer to family members. And this was how the name The Heritage was born.

The Heritage boasts of very well designed and environment-friendly infrastructure and amenities. Amenities such as a clubhouse and swimming pool, a fishing pond and park, parks, and tree-lined streets make for a very convenient residence. The developer has gathered a team of seasoned designers and contractors so that the facilities, especially those that one does not see, will continue to work many decades after you have bought it.

In today's real estate scenario in Cebu, there are many promises that developers make to prospective buyers. Maria Luisa Properties offers its track records, the longest for any developer in Cebu, and a community that's ready to accept its happy residents.  (FREEMAN)
