Camella expands Gran Europa in CDO
MANILA, Philippines - From a small, comfortable enclave for families, it is now a city within a city. Welcome to Gran Europa today. In 1995, a little corner of Europe was built in Mindanao as Camella developed Gran Europa. Now a landmark destination in Cagayan de Oro, this residential and commercial development is expanding further, spreading to over 200 hectares of prime property in uptown Cagayan de Oro.
A taste of Europe at Gran Europa in Cagayan de Oro City: The enclave Lessandra is expanding with Lessandra Heights as part of the “premier city within the City of Golden Friendship,” making Gran Europa a self-sustaining community that is vibrant, alive, inspiring, and still growing. That Camella chose a European (Spanish, Italian, French Mediterranean) theme for this massive project should not come as a surprise. Cagayan de Oro was dominated by the Spanish in the 17th century and in fact derives its name from the Spanish language and translates to “City of the River of Gold.”
Today, CDO is known as the melting pot of Mindanao, serving as the business hub of the Northern Mindanao region and is considered one of the country’s most progressive cities, thanks to its business and commercial growth, and accessibility.
Camella is the country’s most preferred and trusted brand that caters to the mid-market segment. Its expertise and experience is derived from its holding company, Vista Land & Lifescapes, the country’s largest homebuilder with 37 years of experience and has built more than 250,000 homes. Now, it is taking advantage of CDO’s phenomenal growth and offering homes for families ready to take the next step in their success. Gran Europa offers homes that blend function and form with the stylish backdrop and the elegant appeal of majestic enclaves each thematically inspired by a country in Europe.
Gran Europa is a familiar destination for CDO Residents. Over the years, it has become the most sought-after address of families and individuals in search of the perfect home. It is highly accessible, and strategically located on Lumbia Road in uptown CDO, near the airport. It is a safe environment and does not encounter flooding. .
Mindanao first got a taste of Gran Europa’s vision with its first Spanishthemed community called La Buena Vida. This enclave features single story homes captured in dramatic hues of light and shadow. Residents here enjoy social amenities for a taste of the good life.
Today, enclaves in Gran Europa include the Spanishthemed Portico, the Italian-themed Montaña Vista, the Mediterraneanthemed Frontiera, and the French Mediterranean- themed La Mirande. La Mirande is launching its expansion La Mirande Crest while Lessandra is expanding with Lessandra Heights. A new community, called Linea, is being developed.
These enclaves comprise a “premier city within the City of Golden Friendship,” making Gran Europa a self-sustaining community that is vibrant, alive, inspiring, and still growing. Families living within this small city will experience how this community will be growing in the coming years. Their children will enjoy camaraderie with each other as they bond in Gran Europa’s leisure facilities, open spaces, and commercial centers, and grow up in a community of their own.
Portico, located north of La Buena Vida, for instance, is an enclave with a Spanish feel but infused with French inspiration in the gardens of Monet in Giverny. The enclave is a lush, green estate that features charming bungalows with quaint pocket gardens where residents can enjoy the peace and quiet of their community. Today, Portico offers its second phase — almost seven hectares of prime land allotted for the dream community that is now your gateway to a brand new life.
At Montana Vista, the joy of spring and views of the highlands are the inspiration for living well. This Italian village is dotted by beautiful bungalows masterfully designed in landscaped avenues in a safe and secure environment. The community has grown rapidly to accommodate more families as Montana Vista brings a taste of Italy to homeowners’ doorstep. Once you pass the gateway of Gran Europa, you are embraced in the warmth of a lively Mediterranean village bursting with life at Frontiera.
Over at La Mirande, French design elements are blended with the warm and familiar home essentials we are all looking for. A countryside panorama of stately araucaria trees vibrantlytransforms this enclave into the pinetree estate of CDO. La Mirande blends nature into the trappings of modern conveniences, and the result is spectacular. No wonder Camella is expanding this enclave with La Mirande Crest to let the good life flow freely for upwardly mobile families. Relax in an upscale residence designed for your more cultivated taste with spacious and classy interiors that depict your hard-earned success. Prices range from P2 to P5 million.
Lessandra portrays living with excitement. Camella brings you this practical solution to homeownership as it now expands into the new development called Lessandra Heights. Take an exciting step in building your first home where modern conveniences blend with practical solutions to space and activity requirements. The prices, ranging from P800,000 to P1.2 million, are perfect for start-up families
Soon, Gran Europa will open a whole new community of affordable single attached homes for yuppies and starting families. Called Linea, the prices for this enclave range from P600,000 to P750,000.
Gran Europa truly offers the complete range of home choices. It pushes the envelope further for quality living, setting the bar for a most modern and convenient lifestyle that people are aspiring for. Apart from providing buyers their dream homes, Camella is building a progressive township, a complete community where institutional structures are all within reach.
It makes it easy for residents to move around and interact in and out of their communities. Its shuttle service to downtown CDO has been operational for 15 years now. The church is already constructed, schools and a commercial center are in development.
Gran Europa’s Church is the place where families can fully celebrate life’s most memorable milestones, strengthen one’s relationship with God through the sacraments; or exchange and renew vows in the parish church located right inside Gran Europa.
Schools are within waking distance, so families have more time and opportunity for bonding with their kids in the morning. The quality of education is very high and families will appreciate that it is affordable.
Getting around Gran Europa is a breeze with shuttle service vehicles stopping at designated terminals and bringing you straight from Gran Europa to the heart of Cagayan de Oro City.
Camella now transforms its premier development in the whole Mindanao from residential community to a complete city within a city. This development gives CDO residents an enclave where that they can be proud of — one that rivals the country’s key cities outside of Metro Manila. The vision and the project have become bigger with the Gran Europa Village Center, which is set to add vitality to the city development.
The Village Center is a sprawling eight-hectare, dynamic complex that makes it convenient for residents to live their daily lives. Everyday needs, like groceries and services, are a stone’s throw away form home. When it comes to leisure and entertainment, they need not leave Gran Europa. Coffee shops, casual and fine-dining restaurants are there to serve them and their guests. Teenagers can hang out not far from home so their parents need not worry about their whereabouts and safety. Parents can meet their friends for a quick coffee or a leisurely meal. Families can shop together on weekends, watch live shows and participate in activities at the amphitheater. The Gran Europa Village Center is indeed a big hub for a small city.
Camella’s vision for CDO does not end with Gran Europa. Soon, it will unveil its first vertical development in Northern Mindanao. Indeed, Camella is investing in CDO as it expands in Northern Mindanao, keeping in mind that families deserve the very best.
