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. Nolido, emphasizes a vision rooted in what they call the “Gold Standards.” These standards prioritize sustainability, strategic location, and quality design, ensuring that every project contributes positively to the community and environment. The company is expanding its focus to include vertical developments and integrated townships, which will provide residents with a holistic living experience. 

Among the flagship projects is Southridge Residences, a meticulously planned lots-only subdivision. Nestled within a sprawling 31-hectare mixed-use development, this project promises to integrate office, retail, and leisure components seamlessly. The development, which has a timeline of about five years, aims to create a vibrant community where residents can live, work, and play all in one location.

Transforming Urban Living with Masterson Mile North

Another cornerstone of PDO's investment is the ambitious Masterson Mile North—a five-tower residential complex designed by the renowned US-based architectural firm, Gensler and Associates. 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.

Cagayan de Oro remains a vital growth area for PDO, alongside other key regions like Batangas, Pampanga, and Cebu. This strategic focus highlights the company's commitment to fostering development in areas with significant growth potential. As PDO transforms Cagayan de Oro into a hub of modern living, it paves the way for enhanced opportunities and a brighter future for its residents.
