Gaisano-owned real estate firm Grand Land, Inc. is eyeing to develop Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) buildings in its properties.
Grand Land president Ryan Bernard Go said they are set to put up a BPO building at their flagship project, the Amani Grand Citygate, in Buhangin, Davao City.
The Amani Grand Citygate is a four-building condominium project that will be developed in a 10-hectare property. The eight-storey BPO building will be constructed in a 3,000 square meters lot in front of the four buildings.
“It is part of the masterplan. We hope to start its construction by fourth quarter of next year. We are just finalizing the building plans,” he said.
Grand Land is the real estate property arm of the Gaisano Grand Group of Companies aiming to provide owners not just a living space but a lifestyle and a place they will always call home.
Grand Land is also eyeing to develop another BPO building at the two-hectare property at the back of Grand Regal Hotel in Lanang, Davao City.
“We will build a BPO building. We already did the masterplan of that. We are just getting the permit. There will be a commercial arcade also,” he said.
London-inspired Amani Grand Citygate is a four low density buildings of nine to 12 floors. The construction of the first building is in full swing with the topping off targeted to be done in January next year.
“Construction started last year at matatapos na siya ahead of schedule. It is more than 90 percent sold out,” Go said adding that they are just waiting for the approval of building permits for the second building and construction will start as soon as the permits will be released.
Grand Land is also preparing to start its second phase of the project, The Piazza.
Amani Grand Citygate, which is located in The Grand Citygate District has been awarded by multiple agencies in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. It received “Best Mid-end Condo Development in Davao by PropertyGuru Philippine Property Awards, “Best Investment Development” by DotProperty Philippine Awards, “Highly Commended Mixed-Use Development of the Year (VisMin) and “Highly Commended Best Affordable Condo of the Year (VisMin)” in the Outlook Awards 2019 (Lamudi Philippines) and recently “Best Mid-range Condo Development in Southeast Asia by DotProperty Southeast Asia Awards.
The Grand Citygate was recognized as “Highly Commended Best Mixed-Use Development” by PropertyGuru Philippine Property Awards.
“We are happy for our project in Davao City which is Amani Citygate that it garnered a lot of awards from prestigious award body. We are just around seven years old and we already got awards,” Go said.
With Grand Land and Amani Grand Citygate’s success this year, Go said they are looking forward to create more developments in Davao City and will continue to provide better quality and value-added products in the coming years.
“It is really a good time for buyers to invest in the condominium property as interests are very low. If you take a look at the historical prices in Davao ever since President Duterte won as President land prices are already tripled or probably four times then construction cost has been increasing,” he added.
