🌤️ Sunny Days, Rising Developments & a Slice of Inspiration.

👋 Hello, friends and clients!

❤️ A Weekend to Remember

Last weekend, my husband and I joined a beautiful Couples Retreat—a time to recharge, reflect, rekindle and for us to reconnect. There’s something incredibly grounding about stepping back from the hustle to remember why we do what we do—for family, for legacy, for the people we love. So whether you’re investing in your forever home or building your future one lot at a time—it always starts with love and intention.

While parts of the country were drenched in downpours, Cagayan de Oro was basking in sunshine—a little too much, if you ask our sunburned noses. 😅

Meanwhile, on the ground, real estate momentum didn’t stop. We’re seeing big moves Uptown with the launch of Arvesa Village and other exciting developments we can’t wait to share with you.

In this week’s issue:
🏘️ The launch of Arvesa Village, plus top listings to watch
🧠 Real estate tips for smarter buying and selling
🌱 Biodiversity meets design: Architect Nati’s call for regenerative cities
🍰 The country’s first drive-thru pastry store breaks ground in CDO
🌆 And—did you hear? CDO just passed 800,000 residents!
✨ Plus, our Be Inspired series returns with the incredible rise of Gardenia—a story that started from a small coffee shop in Sabah and rose to become the most beloved bread in the Philippines.

Let’s dive in. 👇

Real Estate Tips and Guide

• Buyers: Prioritize subdivisions with amenities, clear land titles, and good road access. Arvesa’s in Lumbia, for example, ticks all those boxes.

• Sellers: Present your property with floor plans, updated photos, and a clear narrative—e.g. “shaded lot in rising subdivision, next to future Southridge.” First impressions matter.

🌊 FEATURED PROJECTS: ARVESA + ABrown Uptown Suburbs & Pueblo Southridge Residences Synergy

Speaking of New Developments - Arvesa Village (which, by the way, is sometimes branded “ARVESA”), we’re excited to highlight this upcoming development in Uptown called to Xavier Southridge / Uptown Sububrs by A Brown Co. in Bayanga, Cagayan de Oro City and Pueblo Golf Estates Soutridge Residences. ABrown and Pueblo De Oro’s upcoming “lot‑only” developments in Bayanga and Lumbia aligns well with this more mid‑high‑end investments in the southern Uptown corridor.
