Thus was born the country’s premier housing supermarket, catering to a wide range of customer budgets (from PhP 750,000 to 10 million), with housing options ranging from house-and-lot packages to duplex-type homes, townhouses, residential lots, high- and medium-rise condominium units and fully serviced residential suites.
