Seawind to change Sasa landscape

By Cheneen R. Capon
SASA may be known today for its traffic jams, informal settlers, sidewalk vendors, the smell of fuel and coconut oil and cargos waiting to be shipped out of Davao, but its landscape will be radically changed six years from now by towering condominiums overlooking the Samal Island.
That’s how homegrown property developer Damosa Land Inc. (DLI) envisioned Sasa after Seawind, a medium-rise condominium project, sees completion by 2021.
Nesting in a 2.7 hectare property located at KM 11, Barangay Sasa, Buhangin District, the Seawind is DLI’s flagship project for this year. The construction will start by June.
DLI vice president Ricardo “Cary” F. Lagdameo said the groundbreaking of Seawind yesterday is not just a new step taken by the company in promoting progress and development but also the city’s reflection of economic growth.
Before officials from Anflocor Group of Company, government agencies and the barangay, Lagdameo said the people of Sasa never taught that a vertical project will be developed in the area.
“I think if you ask some people here, they will never taught the site of a condo in this scale,” he said.
Sasa, the city’s industrial area, has been redeveloping for the past few years because of the significant economic growth of Davao City, according to Lagdameo.
“Sasa area has been welcoming the addition of residential and commercial components to cater the growing demand and population there,” he said.
The addition of Seawind in the area will transform Sasa into the city’s next growth area.
“We will be your partner in progress,” Lagdameo said.
“(Seawind is) a project that will transform the landscape of Sasa and a project that would provide a quality living to over a thousand families . A project that we hope that would transform Sasa into the next growth area of Davao City,” he added.
Having a total of six buildings and more than a thousand units, Damosa’s Seawind will not only have amenities like swimming pool, basketball court, and club house but also spacious open areas.
Seawind will be offering three kinds of units, namely the 37 square meter two-bedroom, three-bedroom unit with a living space of 72 square meters, and the two level units with a total of 67 to 68 square meters each.
Homeowners of two-bedroom units have the option to convert to one bedroom or studio with windows, provision for AC closet.
It will cater to young professionals and newly-weds either from the city or nearby provinces with a monthly income ranging from P40,000 to P50,000.
Lagdameo said Seawind, being the DLI’s first medium-rise condominium project, will not only help the company expand further its investment but also in transforming the landscape of Sasa.
“Not only we as a company that could be proud of but also Sasa and Davao City could be proud of, and hopefully one day they can be called as their own,” he said.
