Positioned at the center of the Asia-Pacific Rim, Davao City serves as a vital link between the Eastern and Western hemispheres, making Davao Region a key player in international trade. With the Port of Davao as the busiest in Mindanao, the city plays a crucial role in facilitating commerce and economic growth.

As a culturally diverse metropolis, Davao has become a benchmark for economic and social development in southern Mindanao. Known as the top agricultural, financial, and logistics center on the island, it boasts a dynamic economic activity driven by both local and foreign investments. With a population that ranks third in the country and the largest land area of any city, Davao is a magnet for migrants and investors seeking advancement in the Melting Pot of the Philippines.

In its mission to create self-sustaining microcities, Vista Land is establishing a master planned development in Mintal, also known as the "Little Tokyo" of Davao City, set to blend the rich cultural heritage of Davao with urban conveniences, allowing Filipinos to nurture thriving lifestyles in one of the country's most progressive cities.

Camella, A Brand Built on a Foundation of Life-Long Dreams

Friday, August 16, 2024

Camella communities are built with amenities, like play parks, that foster lifelong connections. 

In 1977, a vision grew from a newly founded gravel and sand company, laying the foundation for what would become a leading force in the national building sector. 

As the enterprise expanded into construction and property development, it became clear that its ultimate mission was to enable every Filipino to call a home of their own. Capitalizing on its growing real estate operations, the company aimed to turn these long-held dreams into reality. The focus shifted to serving hardworking kababayans, particularly the Overseas Filipinos (OFs)—the nation's unsung heroes.

Recognizing the potential to harness economies of scale and a network of construction experts and suppliers, the strategy evolved from building individual homes to developing entire housing communities. This approach facilitated the creation of cost-effective, high-quality homes. By offering homes with uniform designs and amenities, many Filipinos who once considered homeownership out of reach saw their dreams realized. This innovation led to the creation of Communities Philippines, which eventually became one of the most cherished and largest home builders in the country, Camella.

Built on Dreams and Building Legacies

This vision has developed into more than 200 communities dotting the archipelago, where dreams continue to evolve and take on deeper meaning. Today, Camella represents more than the realization of lifelong ambitions; it symbolizes the creation of family legacies. These homes are not just structures but receptacles of years of memories, adventures, and conversations. They are treasures shared across multiple generations, carrying the imprint of each individual and family that has lived within their walls, spanning from the last five decades to the hope of many more tomorrows.

Camella, the most recognizable name in Philippine real estate, has become synonymous with homes across the country and is intricately woven into the national consciousness. This narrative was born at the meeting of two essential elements: the Filipino collectivist culture and the fundamental belief that homes are cornerstones of many family legacies. Camella is a dedication for every Filipino who wishes to own a home in a community that champions the values they uphold and what the family holds true––through each generation.

Wherever They Want to Live

The most beautiful thing Camella has created through the decades are the endearing memories in the hearts of Camella families.


Camella has committed to realizing the vision of turning Filipino dreams of homeownership into reality while crafting spaces where cherished memories can be created and preserved for many generations. In doing so, the company also embraces every homeowner's desire to settle in any part of the country they choose. Whether driven by tradition, employment opportunities, or simply the beauty and charm of the location, Camella has established communities that cater to these aspirations.

Consequently, the brand has expanded across the country farther than any other. Having the widest geographic reach was essential from the outset, building communities in the exact locations where Filipinos wish to reside—places where they feel more at ease, believe they can lead their best lives, and where they can relish in cherished memories—where they truly feel at home.


Camella believes that the lives of its homebuyers encompass not just their residences but extend into their neighborhoods 


Understanding the ethos behind Camella is crucial, especially the philosophy that a home is not limited to the walls of its structure but includes the whole community in which one resides. Every Camella community is crafted with purposely built spaces where neighbors can gather and connect. Features include clubhouses with function halls and al fresco seating, swimming pools to cool off in the tropical heat, play areas, sports courts, jogging paths, piazzas, and parks. These spaces invite residents to step outside and engage in activities, conversations, and playdates, all set within beautifully landscaped surroundings. Camella aims to foster a sense of belonging among its residents, making them feel "I belong here."

Building Up to 50 with Five Pillars

With nearly five decades of expertise, Camella has built a solid foundation for creating high-quality homes.


With Camella approaching its 50th year, the company will also celebrate half a century of building homes and communities that make every Filipino family's dream real. 

The longevity of Camella as a preferred housing brand is anchored in its five brand aspirations. These ideals shape every aspect of operations, from day-to-day functions to long-term pursuits, laying the groundwork for lasting success.

Camella has built homes that realize the dream of ownership for every Filipino family. 


Dream Communities. Each Camella development is a themed neighborhood featuring landscapes inspired by the most beautiful places in the world. Camella holds the view that the true home of its residents goes beyond the walls of their individual houses, embracing the broader neighborhood and community as integral parts of their living space.

Convenience and Accessibility. Camella strategically builds its communities near the center of progressive cities. It understands the importance of safety and security in tranquil environments and having easy access to urban conveniences offered, allowing the residents to experience life and pursue their goals in ways of their choosing. 

Safety and Security. At the forefront of community planning is the integration of safety and security measures within every Camella neighborhood. The company upholds that homeowners deserve to live in environments where they feel secure and at ease, enabling them to unwind and address their concerns without worries.

Wise Investment. Each Camella home built is an investment that appreciates through time and grows with the families living there.

Value for Money. Camella builds dream environments, spaces, and amenities that enhance the lives of its homeowners, both now and in the future, ensuring they are entitled to the full value of their investments. In Camella, every family finds the upgraded lifestyle they have been seeking in their communities, leading to the fulfillment of their dreams. 

The journey spanning five decades from a gravel and sand company to becoming a household name has been remarkable. What stands out even more is the capacity to grow and evolve like Camella has done while staying true to the core mission of providing a home for every Filipino family. Over the years, Camella has seamlessly combined the aspirations of its founding principles with the evolving desires of the Filipino families it serves, continuing to deeply resonate with its community.

After all, that is precisely why Camella is here––and why it keeps building.

Embracing independence while maintaining connections

Located inside Sierra Valley estate along Ortigas Extension, Sierra Valley Gardens is a three-phase, twelve-building condominium that promises strategic connections to commercial establishments within the estate such as a mall, retail spaces, and office building. 

Its strategic address, along with future infrastructures soon to rise such as the MRT-4 station, will also link future residents to key destinations in Rizal while offering the convenience of reaching key business and lifestyle districts of the metro without sacrificing the distance between them and their loved ones.

Live out in the open

Set to provide a suburban home close to nature, Sierra Valley Gardens offers multiple indoor and outdoor amenities plus sustainable features that soon-to-be homeowners will benefit from.


Phase Two of Sierra Valley Gardens will have its three-floor clubhouse that will house the amenities of the development, such as ​the Residence Lounge​, Lap & Kiddie Pool​, Game Room, Function Room, Theater Room, and Fitness and Wellness Center. ​On the roof deck, the building will have its own Viewing Deck & Hydroponics Farm that promotes farm-to-table produce residents can buy for a much cheaper price in the future, while solar panels will also be installed to help power common areas in the building.


Additionally, Sierra Valley Gardens will have its own Rainwater Harvesting System to supply water for landscaped areas and other non-potable requirements of the development, while electronic vehicle charging stations on select parking slots will also be installed. All these features and other design elements make the development a sustainable community to live in.

RLC Residences recently forged a groundbreaking agreement with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), committing one million square meters (GFA) of net zero carbon and resilient condominiums by 2031. 

The pledge was spearheaded by RLC Residences Senior Vice President and Business Unit General Manager Chad Sotelo during IFC’s 2nd Climate Forum at Ayala Museum. Sotelo was joined by Angelo Tan, Country Lead for IFC World Bank Group's Climate Business in the Philippines, Malaysia and the Pacific. The partnership will focus on identifying, evaluating, and implementing green building measures to help achieve net zero carbon using Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies (EDGE) certification from IFC Additionally, they will assess and verify the resilience rating of RLC Residences projects to be built moving forward through IFC’s Building Resilience Index (BRI) tool.

“We started this journey on sustainability back in 2022 and we’re happy to have known enough to get our first building, Le Pont Residences in Bridgetowne [Destination Estate], to be EDGE-certified. With this fantastic partnership we have with IFC, we're learning that there's a lot of work involved but at the same time, it's part and parcel of what we do on a day-to-day basis. We are thankful to IFC for helping us understand sustainability and resilience better and how we can improve our residential projects with that in mind,” shared Sotelo during the Forum.

As the residential division of the property giant Robinsons Land Corporation, which is also active in sustainability efforts on a corporate level, RLC Residences is now taking a proactive stance on designing developments that are efficiently built. Despite being a newcomer in sustainable residential developments, RLC Residences got its first preliminary EDGE Certification for Le Pont Residences Tower 1 at Bridgetowne East in Pasig City, recognizing its energy and water efficiency measures and sustainability features for future homeowners.

“RLC Residences' commitment to green and resilient initiatives is commendable and a vital step towards a sustainable future. Achieving EDGE Preliminary Certification for Le Pont Residences reflects a forward-thinking approach that benefits the environment and the local community.” Says Ommid Saberi, IFC’s Global Lead for EDGE and Building Resilience Index. “IFC will also be supporting the resilient assessment of its projects. As a hot spot for disasters, it is crucial to explore how the Philippines can incorporate climate resilience practices into the design and construction of buildings.”

Developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector arm of the World Bank Group, EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies), is a free software and green building standard and certification system. The prestigious certification aims to empower developers to build sustainable properties through cost-effective and environment-friendly means while delivering high-quality buildings.
