AS IT gears up for the turnover of 120 condominium units in its first tower, Manchester, before the year ends, Camella Northpoint has already allowed homebuyers to visualize their future home when it conducted a viewing of the condo's model units on September 25.
Attended by more than a hundred homebuyers and prospective investors, Northpoint presented two mock units -- a two-bedroom and studio units -- with completed interiors and unique design developed by Michael Pizarro, a renowned interior designer in Manila, employing the clever use of space and utilizing furniture and designs that exude elegance, making Northpoint the ideal home for those looking to live the good life.
"We target to turn over the units by December so that homeowners can spend their first Christmas in their new home," said Marlon Niño Escalicas, general manager of Camella Communities Davao, developer of the project.
Camella Communities is a subsidiary of Vista Land & Lifescapes, the largest homebuilder in the country. The British Colonial-inspired Northpoint is Vista Land's first vertical residential development outside Metro Manila.
This development project has kept Camella Communities' position of strength in the real estate industry, playing a vital role in the city's economy. It has, in fact, declared about P1-billion investment for the condo project.
"We are a late entrant in condo development in the city. There are already five ongoing condo development projects when we came in, but we are really surprised with the way the market responds to our product, which has become ultimate choice for those looking for a home that allows them to enjoy the very best in life," Escalicas said.
At present, Manchester is almost sold out while its second tower, Birmingham, has been unveiled to accommodate more buyers.
"We offer a unique product, that's why we carry the pine estate concept for Northpoint," Escalicas said.
With this concept, over P2 million worth of imported Caribbean pine trees from New Zealand have been transplanted all over the sprawling property, augmenting its existing trees and other plant life and further greening its already verdant surroundings. Some of these ancient trees are still standing majestically amid the modern development that is taking place around them.
The pine trees are of all-weather variety that regenerates quickly and grows to towering heights. Now growing robustly all over the property, the pine trees will give Northpoint a cool and refreshing ambiance with the pleasant scent of real pine.
Other than its beautiful natural setting, Northpoint's strategic location is also an advantage.
Northpoint lies at the heart of the northern fringe of the city's economic hub, located at the elevated property at the junction of JP Laurel Avenue and Buhangin Road in Bajada, Davao City. New and modern developments are currently on the rise in the area, such as mixed-use developments, IT parks, restaurants, modern commercial areas, and high-end retail and shopping centers.
Its location at the heart of the metropolis allows for a highly urbanized lifestyle. It has easy access to modern amenities, leisure and shopping areas as well as offices and workplaces, being proximate to the business and commercial district. This takes away long and tiring commutes and the hassle of dealing with city traffic.
Camella Northpoint also gives its homeowners real peace of mind with its reliable round-the-clock, state-of-the-art security system.
"The unparalleled condo living concept of Camella Northpoint, its unique charm and strategic location, not to mention the facilities and amenities of this world-class master plan development, all these contribute to the rise of its value in the years to come," said Joey Sison, marketing head of Camella Communities Davao.
Northpoint's upscale amenities include desalinated swimming pool, cabanas and grill pits, pocket parks, playgrounds, a multi-use grand clubhouse, and a wellness pool -- the first of its kind in the city. All the condo units are also WiFi and cable-ready.
Adding more value to this standout condo community is the development of its commercial area that will feature specialty shops and restaurants with a classy appeal but is charming and family-oriented as well.
