Named after the mythical city of gold, El Dorado, Vista Estates’ Eldora in Butuan will be the first of its kind in the Caraga Region.
Ferdinand Magellan’s expedition for valuable spices and precious stones in Asia led him to discover an even greater treasure. Setting foot in Butuan after crossing the Bohol Sea, he was greeted by people decked in finely crafted garments embellished with priceless gems and weapons plated in gold.
Gold, primarily mined at the mouth of the Agusan River, remains the lifeblood of Butuan. The discovery of the remains of balanghai boats showcases its historical significance as a major maritime power over a millennium ago. Butuan’s wealth in gold not only underscores its past as a thriving international trading port but also highlights its present status as a key commercial post for the Asian region.
In the city of gold, Vista Estates is crafting a new micro-city that will soon become the gold standard in township development, both in concept and execution. Welcome to Eldora!
Today, Butuan, known as the City of Gold, stands as a first-class, highly urbanized city serving as the commercial, industrial, and administrative heart of the Caraga Region. It functions as a vital business nexus in Northern Mindanao, connecting major towns like Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Malaybalay, Surigao, and Tandag, through extensive road networks and infrastructure, complemented by one of the busiest airports in the country, the bustling Bancasi Domestic Airport.
The City of San Francisco holds a significant place in history as the birthplace of the California Gold Rush. Between 1848 and 1855, an estimated 300,000 people from various corners of the United States and beyond flocked to the state, injecting vitality into the economy and contributing to its attainment of statehood. As a key hub of this rush, San Francisco garnered the moniker “The Golden City.”
Eldora Residences will be constructed with intelligent building design, replete with modern-day technology and relaxing amenities.
Similarly, in the Philippines, there exists a counterpart to San Francisco’s golden legacy. Burrowed in the heart of Agusan del Norte in Northern Mindanao, Butuan is the de facto capital city, earning its title as the “Golden City.” In this city of gold, Vista Land has chosen to fashion San Francisco into a dazzling new micro-city that will soon become the gold standard in township development, both in concept and execution.
