Pueblo de Oro Development Corporation (PDO), the property development arm of the ICCP Group, has announced the launch of a 42-hectare residential, institutional and commercial project, which completes the Group’s 212-hectare ‘live-work’ community development in Malvar, Batangas.
Dubbed “Townscapes Malvar”, the project is composed of exclusive residential subdivisions, complemented by five hectares of commercial area and an educational hub. It was master planned by internationally acclaimed architectural firm Pomeroy Studios, whose works include the Kallang Alive in Singapore and BSD Digital Hub in Indonesia.
Townscapes Malvar is adjacent to the Light Industrial Science Park IV, a 170-hectare industrial park for light manufacturing, developed by Science Park of the Philippines, Inc. (SPPI), one of the country’s leading industrial estate developers in the country and a member of the ICCP Group.
“The goal of Pueblo de Oro is to create a landmark in the heart of Batangas, with a vibrant and green mixed-used township inspired by Southern Luzon’s urban charm,” said PDO President and COO Prim Nolido.
According to Nolido, Townscapes Malvar is strategically located at the heart of Batangas, accessible via the South Luzon Arterial Road (STAR), just a few minutes from Malvar Exit, and an easy 1.5-hour drive to and from Manila.
“Malvar, Batangas is also an ideal location because of its proximity to the Batangas International Port, which has attracted manufacturing and industrial companies to locate in the province, thereby providing employment opportunities,” Nolido explained.
“The South is also benefiting from relocation trends during the pandemic and has proven to be a dependable location with excellent transportation routes. Exemplary schools and a booming economy also help attract both locals and city dwellers to relocate in Batangas,” he added.
The company is also hoping the scenery and quality of life offered by Batangas would make living in Malvar desirable, inspiring prospective home buyers to relocate and settle down in Townscape Malvar’s 15-hectare Pueblo de Oro Residences and 12-hectare Pueblo de Oro Townhomes.
A leading regional real estate company, Pueblo de Oro’s flagship project is the 400-hectare township in Cagayan de Oro which includes a 40-hectare urban rainforest, a championship golf course, and a PEZA-accredited IT-Ecozone business park.
The company’s other residential communities and townships are located in other developing cities, including Sto. Tomas in Batangas (26 hectares), San Fernando in Pampanga (30 hectares), and Mactan in Cebu (41 hectares).
