PDO expands in the Visayas region

Pueblo de Oro Development Corporation is eyeing further expansion with the launch of several properties in the Visayas region.

“The projects we launched in 2024 will come online in the coming year. Additionally, we will be launching and commencing new developments. It will be a busy year, especially with the expansion of our Cagayan de Oro township,” Prim Nolido, PDO president and chief operating officer.

PDO has broken ground Pueblo de Oro Townhomes Carcar project in Carcar City, Cebu. This economic housing community will feature over 900 house-and-lot units on a 10-hectare site in Barangay Can-asujan. It has a total investment of around P1.2 billion and set to launch in the first quarter of the year.

Construction is also underway for the Westwoods Storeys condominium project in Barangay Carmen, CDO. The seven-tower, mid-rise development sits on a 5.2-hectare site within the 40-hectare Pueblo de Oro Urban Rainforest. The project, with a cost exceeding P3 billion, will offer a total of 989 residential units, with the first tower scheduled for turnover in 2026.

PDO’s Masterson Mile North condominium project, also in CDO, will feature five residential towers, ranging from 22 to 26 floors. The project will be the first of its kind in the city. Designed by renowned international architects Gensler (Singapore) and Casas+ Architects, the high-rise project is estimated to cost P13.5 billion. Development has already begun, with the first tower expected to be completed by 2026.

More recently, PDO announced Southridge project in Cagayan de Oro, a 31-hectare mixed-use development designed to emulate the Silicon Valley vibe of the southern San Francisco Bay Area. Situated at the intersection of the new Laguindingan-Pueblo de Oro Diversion Road, within the expanded Pueblo de Oro township, this project will have residential communities, commercial spaces, and other amenities.

Other projects

One of the company’s signature projects for 2024 is Pueblo de Oro Courtyards Lipa, a 10-hectare townhouse development in Barangay San Benito, Lipa City, Batangas. With an estimated project cost of P1.8 billion, the development is slated for completion by July 2027.

This year, the company will launch Pueblo de Oro Westwoods Heights in Barangay Tingga Itaas, Batangas City. Spanning 13 hectares, this development will offer 548 house-and-lot packages and open lots, with a project cost of approximately P1.7 billion.

“As we continue to expand our footprint across key regions, Pueblo de Oro remains committed to building communities that offer sustainable and accessible urban living. With our strong pipeline of projects in 2025, we are excited about the opportunities ahead to not only meet the evolving needs of our homeowners but also contribute to the growth and development of the cities and provinces where we operate,” Nolido said.

PDO and the ICCP Group are also in discussions with the government’s National Development Corporation for plans to establish a World Trade Center exhibition hall in CDO.
