Baguio City : Summer Capital of the Philippines 

After going up the undulating roads that separate La Union from Benguet, the palpable chill and setting fog herald a city high up the mountains. The striking contrast of urban structures upon the landscape of Cordillera range is eased by the age-old allure of the location, while the distinct scent of pines fills the air. 

Once a hill station for American soldiers and civil workers, Baguio City has developed into a highly urbanized city 250 kilometers north of Manila, with people from all over the region converging here for trade, tourism, and education. 

VISTAS
Living in Pinehill Baguio means waking up to breathtaking vistas.

Other than its cool climate, Baguio’s crowning glory is its rich culture deeply rooted in nature. From Benguet pine trees that span its panoramic views, the Panagbenga Festival celebrated every February, to the reverence accorded to the Igorot way of life, every fabric of Baguio is intricately woven into its tapestry of harmony and symbiosis. 

The interconnectedness between people and their environment is especially considered in Hill Series, built in key locations within Baguio City. Three mid-rise condominiums are tucked behind scenic roads, blanketed by the chilly mist Baguio City is known for. 

Swift and Convenient Expressways to Reach the City of Pines 

The presence of road networks has considerably reduced travel time from Manila to Baguio to three hours. Travelers usually take NLEX (North Luzon Express Way) and proceed to SCTEX (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway) via Exit 85, continuing their drive through TPLEX (Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway) until the Rosario, La Union exit. From here, travelers have a choice between the winding paths of Kennon Road or the alternative route via Marcos Highway.

Brenthill Baguio, the foremost development, is located on Yangco Road, fronting Brent International School. A 10-storey ready-for-occupancy property, Brenthill has various views of the city, from the metroscape to the mountainside. 

Rising 12 storeys along Outlook Drive is Pinehill Baguio, offering a low-density spread of condominiums that overlook the verdant slopes east of Burnham Park while Canyon Hill along Pacdal Road, is a nine-storey development near Baguio Botanical Garden. 

PINEHILL LOBBY
The high ceiling of Pinehill Baguio’s spacious lobby welcomes residents and visitors on the ground level.

Lumina Homes recognized as Best Affordable Housing Developer in the first Carousell Property Awards

Lumina Homes has grown from a low-cost housing brand to one that provides a Filipino family’s ultimate dream home, but it always looks back to its roots of offering affordable and decent homes to everyone. Several award-giving bodies validate this commitment of Lumina Homes, and recently, the first-ever Carousell Property Awards recognized Lumina as Best Developer for Affordable Housing.

The 1st Carousell Property Awards celebrates the country’s most recognizable real estate developers and their finest developments. The Best Developer for Affordable Housing award is one of the nine categories, some of which were bestowed to Lumina’s sister companies under Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc., one of the country’s leading integrated property developers.

Carousell Award of Lumina Homes

Vista Land has guided Lumina in its 10 years of building more than 100,000 homes for Filipino families.

These Lumina projects are available in over 50 key cities and municipalities in the Philippines such as in Rizal, Bulacan, Laguna, Isabela, Bataan, Zambales, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pangasinan, La Union, Cagayan, Isabela, Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Quezon, Albay, Sorsogon, Iloilo, Cebu, Negros Occidental, Agusan del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur, Bukidnon, Misamis Occidental, South Cotabato and Davao del Norte.

Each is strategically located close to major thoroughfares, transport hubs, schools, hospitals, and business and leisure centers.

Lumina also listens well to current market needs, and it has started converting its developments to cater to the demand for bigger living spaces. Due to the pandemic, most property seekers are looking into two-storey house and lots with bigger room provisions, bigger lots, and better ventilation.

“We in Lumina Homes are committed to go beyond what is expected of an affordable housing community. We will continue to maximize and level up our developments’ potential in providing residents the quality home and life they deserve,” shares Engr. Joemi Tan, Division Head of Lumina Homes.

Recently, Lumina “unboxed” eSpacio, its very own amenity center composed of well-thought and functional amenities. Aside from standard amenities such as a multi-purpose hall, mini gardens, playground, jogging path, and a shuttle terminal, eSpacio also boasts of a holistic community center and “Tambayan ni Juan.”

The community center has office provisions for Health Center, Day Care Center, Senior Citizen Center, and Barangay Center while the “Tambayan ni Juan” features an al fresco dining hub with live performers on stage, so that homeowners can have a safer place to enjoy new-normal leisure and entertainment.

But Lumina’s advantage over most affordable housing brands is its push for real-estate solutions early on, even before the pandemic started.

For safer, smoother and faster transactions, Lumina offers efficient virtual home tours and subdivision walkthroughs. It has also perfected online reservation, online appointment booking, and online payment options through digital wallets and digital banking in partnership with national bank players.
