Leisure-residential sites

Filinvest eyes new projects in Davao

After given the authority to sell by the Housing Land Use and Regulatory Board (HLURB), the Filinvest Land, Inc. plans to put up the second and third phases of Kembali Coast, the first of its kind leisure-residential development in Mindanao.

In an investment forum held at The Marco Polo Hotel, Dennis Molina, sales team head of Kembali Coast said over 50 percent of the 400 residential lots were already sold out to buyers coming from the different parts of the country.

Molina said the lot size of about 1,000 sq. m. gives the home buyer the privacy and exclusivity they desire.

The project lies in a 50 hectares property in the Island Garden City of Samal where it offers view lots located along the city's highest elevation that boast of majestic views of both the sea and the entirely exhilarating island.

The ridge/cliff lots are sprawled over a rolling terrain that conveniently rewards easy access to the beach white giving an exquisite peek of the Davao Gulf. The beachfront lots offer a spacious retreat each with a private path leading onto the fine white sand.

The Balinese-themed development gives one a taste of high-end resort living where a 1.8 km long beach line welcomes the residents to their home which is likened to a private own paradise.

The Kembali Coast offers numerous exotic amenities where every family member finds a personal watery haven. It has a pristine swimming pool that stretches to a beachfront that houses an aqua sports shop providing day rentals and tutorial programs.

The residents can do skiing; wake boarding and knee boarding where some branded aquasports equipment are available. It also has Canadian banana boats and Australian kayaks for the sports enthusiasts.

The Kembali Coast is every water-enthusiast's dreamscape where one can lay back on the shore or walk along moors at the docking facility lined with personal crafts as one could also watch Optimist sailboats speed by.

At Kembali there will be fantastic fusion of activities with infinite space for leisure and no room for boredom.
