  1.  Convenience should always be a priority and Primavera sure has this on their list. We like to be time efficient as much as possible and it’s easy to achieve it when you’re in the perfect place that serves your ease.  The condominium has access to most of what you will need and to the places that you have to go, from malls, restaurants, and the friendly neighboring sites to the complete amenities that should make their way on top of your list on searching for the right condo.
  2.  It is of great pleasure to stay in an  eco-friendly environment. Primavera carries the banner for the “Green Revolution” that’s sweeping across Pueblo de Oro Township, Uptown Cagayan de Oro’s most progressive communit. This leads us to a beneficial establishment for the people staying in Primavera which brings us to number 3.
  3. When choosing a condominium, one has to be wise and wise will always be in the vocabulary in Primavera. Because of its astounding architectural design and features, Primavera establishes an energy efficient environment directly benefitting condominium residents  with an energy consumption for air conditioning by approximately 32% or around 20% of total energy consumption.
  4. When looking for a condominium, one does not simply ignore the design of the building and the units, whether it is well furnished and if it has all the necessary things a condo must have. Well say no more! Primavera does not only have all those necessities, they also gives us the “ Optimization of space, elegant and minimalist furniture, maintenance of privacy of every single space,  not to mention the view In which youre going to live with when staying.  Macalajar bay or the breath taking mountains here in Cdo, you choose.
  5. Being busy, stressed, and tired will always get in your system but one thing’s for sure, the ambiance of the place that you’re going to wake up with and go home for is definitely a changer. With Primavera, having the sense of  `home’ and the ambiance wherein you can lighten up your mood is definitely there.

Competitive Edge

Aside from the management and technological advantages, Primavera embraces mother nature like no other. The sense of simplicity and the sense of HOME is what they sought through and achieved which makes them stand out from the others. The way they fit in to the sustainable environment and the set of trends they show from the architectural designs and units.

And not to mention the title that they are holding which is the first eco-friendly condominium in the region which gives benefit the community and to the environment.

These are the factors that people should and would want to live in, a place wherein serenity and hospitability is present. The place where we are able to appreciate more what God given nature has to offer and thrive in for a much more ethical, sustainable and healthy environment. Having a healthy environment would mean that you will also have a better time when you stay at home and Primavera sure would make you feel all of these.

Take the first two (5) reasons- of course, you would want a welcoming, persuasive and relatively chilly room for you to relax whether you’re sleeping, eating and even watching television or movies of your choice with your family, friends and even loved ones.

Against all sorts of calamities and also the effect of global warming today, nowadays we need more than just bread we also need a good shelter. Declaring that looking back at nature is the solution for the survival of men, ITALPINAS applied biomimicry in their design.

Fact is that Primavera in Cagayan de Oro is designed after a mound. Yes you read it right a termite mound! A termite mound is known for its shape and structure for it can maintain a constant temperature inside despite wide temperature swings outside and also for its attribute of optimizing the suns effect. Just like a termite mound it is designed to be flood-proof, earthquake and typhoon resistant. Built with solar panels to be able to maximize energy efficiency and designed with cross air ventilation together with window-shading façade you can enjoy the comfortable cool climate inside without the worries from all those hectic electric bills.

Primavera Joins RealEXPO 2014

 expo2

The economy of Cagayan de Oro City has grown by leaps and bounds and this could be seen through the booming real estate and automobile industry. One event to showcase this growth took place last September 12 – 14, 2014 at the Rotunda of Limketkai Mall. Dubbed BPI Housing Madness with Family Auto Loan and BusinessWeek Mindanao RealEXPO, the event was a partnership between the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and the BusinessWeek Mindanao (BWM) media group.

Primavera Residences, the multi-awarded eco-friendly condominium in uptown Cagayan de Oro developed by Italpinas Euroasian Design and Eco-development Corporation (ITPI), was one of the exhibitors. Showcased during the event was the 10-storey twin tower development which was recently awarded by the Asia Pacific Property Awards as the Best Mixed-Use Development in the Philippines for 2014-2015.

ITPI CEO Architect Romolo Nati was one of the speakers during the first day of the expo with his well-received talk that highlighted the impact of real estate on the environment.

“Through building in alternative locations and using design principles found in nature, ITPI was able to define architectural solutions that lessen the impact on the environment,” says Arch. Nati. “This translates to efficient use of energy, water, and other resources, which in turn lowers water and electricity bills.” The high-performance design of ITPI’s flagship project Primavera Residences allows its residents to save as much as 20% in energy consumption.

Miss Primavera 2014, Novanmae Marcojos graced the Primavera Residences exhibit booth during the expo’s second day. Booth visitors and mall-goers were given the opportunity for a meet-and-greet and photo op with the newly hailed Miss Primavera 2014.
