As the current administration nears the end of its term, one of its most impressive feats, to date, is its massive ’Build, Build, Build’ program, which has served as a tremendous boon for Fiipinos all over the archipelago. For one, past infrastructure projects of the national government have drastically reduced travel time within the metropolis and between key cities and towns, making road trips fast, smooth, and easy for leisure and business travelers alike. Ongoing construction of new ones are primed to do the same.
Aware that new infrastructure steadfastly drives value appreciation of properties, many Filipinos are confidently pursuing their plans of buying their dream homes, a factor that the real estate industry widely acknowledges as having kept them afloat even amid the challenges of the pandemic.
One top-tier real estate brand that is continuously benefitting from infrastructure growth and upgrades is BRIA Homes, which has had the foresight to build its residential projects in strategically located areas. Aside from their idyllic locations and access to current and upcoming major government projects, BRIA properties are also near schools, churches, hospitals, commercial establishments, banks, and pharmacies.
Thus, homeseekers and property investors looking into BRIA as provider of their homes of choice are assured of proximity to key lifestyle destinations. Residents of BRIA communities outside the National Capital Region will likewise save time and resources with shorter drives and commutes to and from the metropolis and other places.
Eduardo T. Aguilar, BRIA Homes Division Head, affirms this, saying that BRIA Homes’ mission is to provide a comfortable life to Filipino homeowners, which spurs them to carefully consider the locations of all their developments. He likewise notes that BRIA projects’ proximity to continuous infrastructure growth has become part of the company’s vision. “We’d like to keep land appreciation constantly in mind and ensure a stable future for BRIA homeowners,” Aguilar explains.
Meantime, recent updates from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) disclose that 18 of the 112 infrastructure flagship projects under their Build, Build, Build campaign will be completed by June 2022, while 12 additional projects are set to be completed by end-2022. In 2023, 89 projects will be scheduled for implementation, with completion to be done through the succeeding six years.
Among these big-ticket inter-island projects that are often highlighted are the Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge, the Panglao-Tagbilaran City Offshore Connector, Guicam Bridge, three Tawi-Tawi Bridges, Panay-Guimaras-Negros Link Bridge, Cebu-Mactan Bridge, Panguil Bay Bridge, and the Samal Island-Davao City Connector.
Other noteworthy transportation projects in the works that are guaranteed to improve connectivity are as follows: North-South Commuter Railway, Metro Manila Subway, Cebu Bus Rapid Transit, and the Clark International Airport Expansion Phase 1.
As Aguilar points out, “These infrastructure projects benefit real estate not just through value appreciation, but also by spurring economic activity and growth. What this means for our residents are more opportunities for tourism, business, education, and manufacturing, among others.”
Indeed, while ‘major infrastructures’ may come to mind when visualizing the government’s Build, Build, Build program, people must know that the DPWH has also been rolling out projects for public safety and protection from disastrous weather events. These include flood control infrastructure, healthcare, education, agriculture, and tourism.
Aguilar adds that “BRIA Homes takes pride in its cozy and well-designed house-and-lot and condominium units, available in different layouts to suit the varying needs of Filipinos. Each BRIA development also has premium recreational and security facilities, and efficient property management.”
