Alsons launches Northtown

By EJ Dominic Fernandez
Celebrating their golden anniversary, Alsons Development & Investment Corporation (ALSONS DEV), one of the leading real estate firms in Davao City, launched their newest development project called Northtown last Friday at the SMX Convention Center in SM Lanang.
Northtown will be a sustainable residential township which aims to bring nature and modern comfort to its residents through partnering with world-renowned architectural firm, Palafox, and MANA architecture interior design.
This sustainable township will sprawl across a 116 hectare land between Tigatto and Cabantian, Buhangin to strategically give the residents a more environmental friendly community that has two entrances to provide easy access to different parts of the city.
Dubbed “the new suburban haven in Davao,” it has a 2.5 hectare clubhouse which is the first of its kind in Davao that spreads this big. This clubhouse will give various opportunities for families to relax, play and bond.
Northcrest is the eighth real estate project of ALSONS DEV, Las Terrazas, Woodridge Park and Ladislawa Garden Village, Northcrest, and Woodlane subdivisions are some of the successful real estate projects of ALSONS DEV.
Just last week, ALSONS DEV celebrated the centennial anniversary of the founder and the patriarch of the company, the late Conrado C. Alcantara, one of Davao’s most prominent pioneers.
In his closing remarks, Tomas Alcantara, chairman of the Alcantara Group, said, “My father was a visionary who came to Davao City from Illigan and developed the company out of nothing (which was all that he had) into what it is today.”
During the event, Tomas also announced that ALSONS DEV was able to build a classroom for the Pillar P. Rodriguez Elementary School in barangay Tigatto and also donated computers, audio/visual equipment and a collection of books for the city’s second mobile library. This gift was then turned over to the city through Engr. Jaime G. Adalin, representing Mayor Sara Duterte, and lawyer Melchor Quitain, representing Vice Mayor Rody Duterte.
