During the launch, Island Garden City of Samal mayor Lemuel “Toto” Reyes said the project sends a clear message that Samal is open for business, forging partnerships, and ready for sustainable growth.

“Together, we are building not just a resort but a future for Samal to shine on global tourism,” he said.

The development has a land area of 3,060 sqm and a 10,684 sqm gross floor area that will be completed by the fourth quarter of 2028 and open in the first quarter of 2029.

The estimated travel time is 25 minutes from the airport via the Samal Island–Davao City Connector (SIDC) bridge, and 15 minutes from Davao via private boat.

Featured rooms are Standard A and B, Family, Fitness, and Deluxe. Hotel amenities include a grand 240-seater ballroom, signature dining & bar, infinity-edged roofdeck pool, power fitness gym, kids’ adventure zone, game & play lounge, and beachfront access.

SAN PEDRO, Laguna —- P.A. Properties has announced the rollout of new digital features for its homeowner platforms, P.A. Home Info Plus and P.A. Hankyu Home Info Plus, reinforcing the company’s commitment to innovation and customer-centric service in the Philippine real estate industry.

Designed to enhance transparency and convenience, the upgraded apps allow homeowners to stay updated on the progress of their homes anytime and anywhere, providing easy access to essential information throughout the homeownership journey.

One of the key enhancements is the Construction Updates feature, which enables homeowners to monitor construction progress and completion status in real time. This allows buyers to track important milestones without the need for frequent follow-ups, helping them feel more confident and informed as their homes take shape.

The apps also now include Move-In Status and Alert Notifications, a feature that informs homeowners when they are already qualified for move-in. Through instant alerts, users receive timely updates and reminders, ensuring a smoother transition from construction to occupancy.

The upgraded platforms cater to different homeowner segments within the P.A. Properties portfolio. P.A. Hankyu Home Info Plus is designed specifically for homeowners of Idesia projects, developed in partnership with Japan’s Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corp., reflecting both companies’ shared standards of efficiency, reliability, and quality living. Meanwhile, P.A. Home Info Plus serves homeowners across P.A. Properties projects nationwide.

“These enhancements are part of our continuous efforts to improve the overall homeownership experience,” Atty. Marianne Reyna Lina Cruz, P.A. Properties CEO and president, said. “By making critical information accessible in real time, we empower our homeowners to stay connected and informed at every stage of their journey.”

Both applications are now available for download on major mobile platforms.

Alsons Dev to redevelop Aldevinco to support Davao’s growing urban landscape

by Contributor October 20, 2025

written by Contributor

ALSONS Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev) announced that it will begin the redevelopment of the Aldevinco Shopping Center site by the end of October 2025. Located at the corner of C.M. Recto and Roxas Avenue, the property has long been an iconic presence in downtown Davao. The redevelopment will usher in a new era for this historic landmark, paving the way for a modern, mixed-use destination that supports the city’s continued growth and revitalization while honoring its history and heritage.

*Aldevinco Shopping Center served as one of Davao City’s earliest commercial hubs and stood as a cultural landmark for over five decades.*

The Aldevinco Shopping Center, launched in 1965, was one of Davao City’s earliest commercial hubs. In over five decades, it transitioned from a vibrant marketplace for local traders to a cultural icon showcasing Mindanao’s rich heritage through textiles, antiques, and handicrafts. Though it ceased operations in December 2021, its legacy continues through Poblacion Market Central, where many original tenants still carry forward the spirit of culture, creativity, and commerce.

Preparing the historic site for the future

The redeveloped property is envisioned to become a flagship mixed-use development that reflects Alsons Dev’s vision for vibrant, sustainable, and people-centric spaces.

*The aging buildings will be cleared to make way for a redevelopment that continues to cultivate Davao’s growth.*

The transformation will begin with the demolition of the buildings on the premises, a necessary step due to the structure’s age and safety considerations. The work will be carried out in sections to minimize disruption and ensure the safety of pedestrians, workers, and nearby establishments. The company is also working closely with the Office of the City Building Official (OCBO) and other relevant government agencies to ensure full compliance with local regulations.

While long-term plans are being finalized, Alsons Dev will temporarily use the 5,106-square-meter site as a paid parking facility by Q2 2026. The interim space will feature designated areas for food trucks and carts, offering convenience and new opportunities for small businesses while keeping the property active and vibrant in the heart of the city.

Looking ahead

As Aldevinco enters a new chapter, Alsons Dev reaffirms its dedication to thoughtful and sustainable development that contributes to the vitality of Davao’s urban landscape.

“Our vision is to build developments that balance heritage and progress, ensuring that every project we undertake supports the city’s growth. As a homegrown developer, we take pride in helping shape Davao’s evolving environment,” said Miguel A. Dominguez, president and CEO of Alsons Dev.

The company will continue to provide regular updates to keep the community informed throughout the redevelopment process. For more information, visit the Alsons Dev Official Facebook page.

Alsons Dev marks milestone in Avia Estate with opening of the Abba’s Orchard School

by Contributor September 5, 2025

written by Contributor

ALSONS Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev) marked a key milestone in the development of its flagship township, Avia Estate in Alabel, Sarangani, with the opening of The Abba’s Orchard School last August 11, 2025. Bringing authentic Montessori education to SOCCSKSARGEN, The Abba’s Orchard strengthens Avia Estate’s vision of becoming a well-rounded and future-ready community.

Nurturing young minds with true Montessori

The Abba’s Orchard is a high-fidelity Montessori school system offering programs from infancy through adolescence. Known for its authentic Montessori approach, the school offers the Erdkinder program (German for “children of the earth”), a unique adolescent curriculum that integrates classroom learning with hands-on experience through an on-site farm environment. Adolescents experience “production and exchange” in a micro-economy that addresses their evolving sense of self-worth (or dignity) in their maturing journey to adulthood.

With its opening at Avia Estate, The Abba’s Orchard becomes the first true Montessori school in the SOCCSKSARGEN region. The new campus will initially offer programs for preschool up to Grade 3, with plans to expand in the future to Upper Elementary and High School levels.

Executives from Alsons Dev and The Abba’s Orchard join parents and young learners in celebrating the school’s opening at Avia Estate, marking a new chapter for quality Montessori education in SOCCSKSARGEN.

“We’re proud to bring our unique approach to families in Alabel and the wider region. We envision this campus as more than just a school; it is a space where children grow through meaningful and authentic experiences. We’re excited to begin this journey in Avia Estate, helping shape a new generation of independent, purpose-driven learners,” said Chris Barrameda, President and founding director of The Abba’s Orchard. He added, “Through our partnership with Alsons Dev, we can further our mission of making quality Montessori education more accessible across SOCCSKSARGEN.”

A month before the school’s opening, a ceremonial tree planting took place, symbolizing The Abba’s Orchard School’s and Alsons Dev’s shared commitment to creating a nurturing and sustainable environment for the region’s young learners and their families.

[L–R] Alsons Dev Vice President and General Manager Eric de la Costa, Assistant Vice President for Business Development and Operations Jolla Soriaga, and The Abba’s Orchard President and Founding Director Chris Barrameda and Chief Growth and Marketing Officer Abram Barrameda during the ceremonial tree planting held on June 24, 2025, at the Avia Estate campus. The activity served as a symbolic gesture of both organizations’ shared commitment to nurturing thriving communities.

A partnership rooted in community building

The school’s presence in Avia Estate was made possible through a two-hectare land donation by Alsons Dev, solidifying a shared vision of enabling families to experience authentic Montessori learning in the region.

“At Alsons Dev, we believe quality educational institutions are essential pillars of master-planned communities,” said Miguel Rene A. Dominguez, president and CEO of Alsons Dev. “The Abba’s Orchard reflects Alsons Dev’s efforts of making education an integral part of daily life for families in the township.”

This collaboration reflects Alsons Dev’s ongoing efforts to integrate key institutions and lifestyle drivers into its communities, strengthening its developments not just as residential enclaves but as hubs of growth and opportunity.

Advancing Avia Estate’s growth

Avia Estate continues to make steady progress in its transformation into a future-ready township. One of the community’s key facilities, the Alabel Public Safety & Security Complex, was formally turned over last January 2025, reinforcing Alsons Dev’s commitment to ensuring safety and well-being within the estate. The Avia Estate football field is also opening this September 2025, further enriching the township’s recreational amenities.

As part of ongoing efforts to support growth and enhance estate-wide connectivity, construction of the estate’s main spine road is in progress. Land development for commercial areas is also set to begin this year, strengthening Avia Estate’s position as a growing economic hub in the region.

Avia Estate is a 121-hectare master-planned township in Alabel, Sarangani, envisioned to be SOCCSKSARGEN’s premier address. It will feature residential communities, commercial hubs, educational institutions, and generous open spaces designed to support a vibrant, integrated lifestyle for the region’s growing population.

By the end of the year, the first batch of house units in Narra Park Residences Avia will be completed, with turnovers scheduled to begin in Q1 2026. Key community features, such as gates and guardhouses, parks, and shared amenities, will also be completed, ensuring a livable and welcoming environment from day one.

Shaping the future in Alabel

With quality education now embedded within the estate and essential features nearing completion, Avia Estate is steadily taking shape as a dynamic, master-planned development where families can thrive. These milestones underscore Alsons Dev’s broader vision of creating inclusive, purpose-driven communities that uplift lives across Mindanao.
