AS BACOLOD expands beyond its traditional center, Bacolod North is emerging as a growth corridor shaped by infrastructure, connectivity, and the city’s natural direction of expansion. Within this evolving area, Saludad Township continues to advance through on-ground milestones that reflect steady progress.
On May 8, 2026, PHINMA Properties, in partnership with JEPP Real Estate Co., broke ground on Dahlia Tower, the first tower of Maayo Terraces, a mid-rise residential condominium community within Saludad Township. This development follows the earlier groundbreaking of TRYP by Wyndham, reflecting the continued rollout of key township components.
“Today is meaningful because it’s not just about what Saludad can become. It’s about what is already happening,” said Raphael B. Felix, President and CEO of PHINMA Properties and JEPP Property Corporation. “What was once a vision on paper is steadily becoming a real and active address where homes, institutions, and opportunities are beginning to come together. So today, we say: Hello, Bacolod. Ari na ang Maayo Terraces, nagasugod na.”
A residential milestone that strengthens township momentum
The groundbreaking of Dahlia Tower marks the start of residential life taking shape within Saludad. As homes begin to rise, the township establishes a stronger residential base that supports long-term activity.
Maayo Terraces offers a different kind of condominium living for Bacolod: mid-rise, designed for living, and supported by the utilities and infrastructure of an integrated township. With about 60% open space, it emphasizes greenery, community areas, and a more balanced day-to-day environment.
For JEPP, this next phase also carries deeper meaning. Land shaped by generations of memories and responsibility now enters a new chapter, opening a better-planned community that welcomes more Bacolodnons and contributes to how the city will live and grow.
Hello, a future that’s being built even on hard days
What makes this moment resonate is that it can be seen and revisited. As Bacolod North continues to transform, developments within Saludad help define how the area is taking shape.
In a message delivered by Atty. Marty Go, secretary to the Mayor, the City Government welcomed the milestone and reiterated its support for developments that contribute to Bacolod’s sustainable growth.
“The groundbreaking of PHINMA Maayo Terraces Saludad is more than construction; it is a vote of confidence in Bacolod’s future,” Go said. “We remain committed to an investor-friendly Bacolod and to supporting projects that create opportunities for our people to thrive in a master-planned, vibrant environment.” Go closed by expressing hope that the community will become “a landmark of pride for our city.”
The Dahlia Tower project reflects long-term commitment and continued investment in Bacolod North, where large-scale developments are shaping the city’s next phase of growth.
In Saludad, progress is something Bacolod can now say hello to.
