Alsons Dev unveils Northtown Residences 5, the most exclusive enclave yet in Davao’s premier suburban township

by Contributor July 22, 2025

written by Contributor

ALSONS Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev) introduces Northtown Residences 5, the latest expansion within Northtown, a suburban township in Buhangin, Davao City. The newest development marks another milestone in the company’s enduring legacy of building trusted, master-planned communities for generations of Mindanaoans.

A new benchmark for suburban living

Northtown Residences 5 is Alsons Dev’s most exclusive residential offering within Northtown to date. Strategically located in an elevated area near the Tigatto Entrance, this 8-hectare development features 91 lots, each with a minimum size of 300 square meters. With a density of 12 lots per hectare, it is designed for discerning homeowners seeking privacy, tranquility, and space to build their dream homes.

*With landscaped green lanes, generous open spaces, and carefully planned lot layouts, Northtown Residences 5 offers a tranquil suburban escape where privacy meets nature.*

What sets Northtown Residences 5 apart is its emphasis on low-density living and its generous allocation of green spaces. Over half of the development is dedicated to wide roads, landscaped lanes, open areas, and community amenities. Most lots are on single-loaded roads, with future homes facing only one side of the street and no neighboring lot directly behind them. This layout provides more breathing room, added privacy, and a greater sense of openness. Residents also enjoy scenic views of Northtown, the Mandug plains, and the Magtuod hills, bringing everyday beauty to suburban life.

“Northtown Residences 5 is envisioned to redefine premier suburban living in Davao City,” said Jeanette P. Cabaya, senior project officer at Alsons Dev and a key member of the team behind the new development. She added, “The property’s natural terrain and orientation created opportunities for larger lots, enhanced privacy, and scenic views for selected lots, resulting in a more exclusive residential enclave.”

As part of a master-planned township, Northtown Residences 5 offers more than a premium address—it provides residents with access to a thoughtfully planned community. Residents can spend weekends at a 2.5-hectare clubhouse complex with resort-style amenities or unwind in one of the township’s many parks. Just minutes away are retail hubs like CityMall Northtown and upcoming commercial areas, while essential infrastructure such as the Public Safety and Security Complex supports a vibrant and secure community.

Building communities of lasting value

For residents like Rowena Ting, choosing a home in Northtown Residences was a decision rooted in trust in Alsons Dev.

“I was drawn to Northtown because of its prime location, peaceful environment, security, and the reputation of Alsons Dev as a trusted developer,” Ting shared. “Living here has exceeded my expectations. Everything, from the infrastructure to the customer service, reflects their commitment to excellence. It reassures me that I made the right choice, not just for a home, but for a lifestyle I can be proud of.”

Alsons Dev’s reputation for quality and thoughtful planning also resonates with brokers. “People don’t question Alsons Dev’s developments; they get excited,” said Thyra Mae Navarro, a broker under the Lim Agency. “Just like when Northtown was first launched in 2013, everyone knew it would be a game-changer.”

She added that Northtown Residences 5 reflects what today’s buyers are looking for: “Exclusivity, higher elevation, distance from congestion, and the privacy of single-loaded lots. These are the features that make it especially attractive.”

Continuing the commitment

For over 60 years, Alsons Dev has set the standard for real estate development in Davao, consistently introducing pioneering communities that put people’s needs at the center. The launch of Northtown Residences 5 stands as another testament to this promise.

*Northtown Residences 5 is part of the master-planned Northtown township, giving residents convenient access to CityMall Northtown, parks, and future retail hubs.*

“Northtown Residences 5 represents the next chapter in our commitment to building communities that stand the test of time, anticipating the evolving aspirations of today’s homeowners,” said Miguel Rene A. Dominguez, president and CEO of Alsons Dev.

“This expansion is purposefully designed for those who value a place where people can feel rooted, find balance, and grow with confidence. It’s where they can build a future anchored on space, serenity, and long-term value,” Dominguez added.

With Northtown Residences 5, Northtown becomes more than just a place to live; it becomes a place to belong. As Alsons Dev continues to expand the township with the same integrity and foresight it has shown over the years, planners, buyers, and brokers alike remain confident in one thing: the best is yet to come.
