March 19, 2025

Vista Land continues to expand its footprint in the southern regions of the Philippines with a strategic focus on master planned developments that anticipate the evolving aspirations of its residents. Through its collection called Vista Estates, the company is creating unique and sustainable lifescapes that combine a premium quality of life with long-term real estate investment opportunities. Each development, set within premier destinations across the country, showcases themed residential enclaves designed to reflect the character of the estate, offering a unique and engaging living experience.

In a milestone event, Sandera, one of Vista Land master planned developments in Davao City, recently broke ground, demonstrating the commitment of the company to creating superior offerings. Led by Carlo Refamonte, Division Head for Davao, the landmark occasion was attended by officers of the company, business partners, and investors. Vista Estates Marketing, Planning, Engineering, and Technical Services departments were also present to participate in the groundbreaking rites.

The momentous ceremony opened with an engaging dance act that reflects the local customs, traditions, and heritage. Performed by the Madayaw Cultural Ensemble, a multi-awarded Davao-based cultural dance troupe, the number showcases the way of life in the progressive city.

“We are here today to celebrate the groundbreaking of Sandera, beginning with its property marker. It is a vital step as we move forward in our mission to provide the spaces and places where Filipinos can build the best version of themselves, dream their greatest dreams, and construct the futures they hope for and truly deserve,” shares Refamonte in his opening remarks.

Following the speech, Runar Quindoza, Head of Building Information Modelling (BIM), presented the project overview to the audience.

Davao City is known as the top agro-industrial, financial, and logistics center on the island, boasting a dynamic economic activity driven by both local and foreign investments. The Port of Davao is the busiest in Mindanao, and the city plays a crucial role in facilitating commerce and economic growth.

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.

Vista Land is establishing a master planned development in Mintal, 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.

About 20 minutes from the city center, Sandera spans nearly 20 hectares of prime landscape that blends urban amenities with the natural beauty of the region. Sandera offers a secure and serene environment where residents can escape the fast pace of daily life.

The vertical villages at Sandera blend into the lush surroundings, with terraces offering breathtaking views and an unmatched sense of space. The multi-tower residential development rises from the verdant canopy, providing residents with a living experience that feels connected to nature and delightfully modern. Equipped with smart technology and security features, residents will enjoy the benefits of intelligent design and modern-day conveniences.

At the heart of the neighborhood is an exquisitely designed clubhouse, ideal for hosting family gatherings or celebrating special moments. Children’s laughter will fill the air in the safe grounds of play parks, while the meandering pathways offer opportunities for jogging, biking, or leisurely evening strolls. Every aspect of Sandera has been thoughtfully considered to promote well-being and connection, ensuring that residents feel at home in a place that nurtures both body and spirit.
