MANILA, Philippines - They say it’s the land of fierce women and soul-jolting coffee, but Batangas has always been more than this. A lot of Batangueños remain in the province (as opposed to trying their luck in Manila) for a reason –– it could be the hilly countryside, or the fresh air, or the unique culture they share. As the country’s biggest homebuilding brings their latest development to Batangas, there’s even more to love about the place and more reason to stay.
Camella Batangas City is the developer’s first project in the province’s capital. A homebuilder with a wide geographical reach, Camella has built homes for Filipinos all over the country, and has also been the property investment of choice for those working abroad. This latest development takes after postcard-perfect Italy –– after all, isn’t Batangas quite the same? An Italian-inspired masterplanned community fits right in with the capital’s hilly, green terrain, and its people’s no-nonsense attitude.
Realizing the Filipino’s love for travel, and of course, that so many Pinoys have lived in other countries –– such as Italy –– for work, Camella has created Camella Batangas City.
With Italy’s stone-and-marble villas, limestone cliffs, ocean views and forested backyards as inspiration, Camella Batangas City promises to be a feat of architecture as well as an affordable option for homebuyers. It is just one of the offerings in Batangas in line with Camella, Crown and Luxuria Series homes, sub-brands of Vista Land & Lifescapes, building good quality, value for money homes.
Why Batangas?
Batangas, the largest city of the province of Batangas and its capital, has been described as the fastest urbanizing cities in the country. The Batangas Port is one of the Philippines’ most strategic harbors, making it not only a good place for business, but a premier gateway to tourist destinations like Tagaytay and Puerto Galera, as well. Building a Camella community in the city had been a long time coming.
Camella Batangas City stands right on National Highway, a quick 1.6 kilometers from the Star Tollway Exit, and a convenient two kilometers from downtown Batangas City. In other words, it is strategically placed close enough all the conveniences of the city, while still being a good distance from its stress and noise.
This is one of Vista Land’s mission: to allow residents a balanced life of live, work and play. So it builds its properties in prime locations that are close to places of business and leisure. Camella, in particular, selects properties that are close to commercial areas, schools, hospitals, government centers, markets, and centers for fun and recreation. Camella Batangas City is no exception. It’s only 3.5 kilometers from the city’s downtown area where SM City is, and within the community are schools like University of Batangas, Maranatha Christian Academy, Westmead International School, and the Batangas State University. This is why Camella continues to be the home of choice for families with children –– the developer always puts their needs first.
It’s also an easy communte, being only 10 minutes away from main bus terminals, and 30 minutes from the famous Batangas port. The Old Market and churches like the Parish of Holy Trinity and Basiica dela Immaculada are also within the area.
Shaping A Community
Camella Batangas City and its well-thought-out masterplanned development with a purpose. Themed communities –– this one, Italian-inspired –– is not just meant to enhance a property’s aesthetic value. It’s also mean to enhance the shared living experience of its residents. For 37 years, Camella has been building communities that mirror some of the world’s most popular architecture. In Camella Batangas City, they are landscaping village roadsides, paths, cul de sacs and parts with greenery and water elements reminiscent of the cobblestoned streets, piazzas and countryside towns of Italy.
Full-amenities are available, to encourage residents to commune with their surroundings and each other. There are a lot of wide-open spaces and miniature parks. There is a swimming pool, a playground, and jogging paths. Residents can gather and unwind at the Clubhouse, while being assured of exclusivity and security provided by Camella.
Camella, Beyond Manila
Camella has build more tan 250,000 homes and has a powerful presence in Mega Manila and 28 other key provincial destinations and 56 cities. Camella Batangas City is its 7th project in the Batangas province. Camella’s President, Ms. Jerylle Luz C. Quismundo says, “By strengthening our portfolio in Southern Luzon, we are doing more than expanding our brand, we are building homes –– creating the foundations for dreams –– for Filipino families who want to build their lives beyond Mega Manila. Our OFW’s, especially, would rather live in their hometowns or provinces. They already have made wonderful memories there and they want to make more. It is our job to build where they are happiest.”
Camella is the first developer to build homes catering the different market segments across the country, outside the Mega Manila area. In Batangas City, it offers a choice of the Camella Series for growing families, the Crown Series for upwardly mobile families, the Luxuria Series for those who would just like to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Each home is built with the same global-standard quality, sustainable construction materials and practices, all under the planning expertise Vista Land that has built its reputation on.
Camella Batangas City breaks ground today.
