Investing in the Future: Pueblo De Oro's Vision for Cagayan de Oro


In a bold move that underscores its commitment to urban development, Pueblo De Oro Development Corp. (PDO) has announced a staggering ₱13.5 billion investment in Cagayan de Oro. This ambitious plan focuses on creating a blend of mixed-use and residential projects that cater to the higher-end market segment. With this investment, PDO is not only reshaping the skyline of Cagayan de Oro but also igniting economic growth in the region.
A Commitment to Quality and Sustainability

Pueblo De Oro's President and COO, Prim B.

This stunning project will feature 946 residential units, varying in size from 32 to 177 square meters, catering to diverse housing needs. With an expected completion timeline of 12 years, Masterson Mile North aims to redefine urban living in Cagayan de Oro.
