  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.

Great view great pool, Fred prefers a dip in the pool before getting ready for work to be able to see things clearer and realize better. That day sure made him realize one thing..  that his life is going to change forever with a simple yes from her.

So he’s thinking.. if he can move the water, he can move her.

A breathtaking view of the world before stepping out to the world would be a great way to prepare for work with Nicole not knowing Fred’s plans for her.

If someone would have to ask you about your speculations and thoughts about influencing ideas and considerations of buying a condo unit, what would you proudly remark? Do you really find the need and want from within yourself the buzz and fuss you wish to experience when sooner you’ll be enjoying one?

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. Who would never want to relax witnessing the sun setting by your window with a fluffy sofa at a considerable price for your satisfying experience? We all are!

Moreover, talking about developing an eco-friendly kind of environment and way of living life, it’s better and more interesting when you get the chance to stay in one of these developers. One of them is ITALPINAS; a sustainable real estate developer. Headed by an unusual twist of two great minds, an award-winning Italian architect Romolo V. Nati who is an expert in applying biomimicry into his designs, and lawyer Jojo Leviste, president of two environmental start-up companies. Together they created a new trend and standard in condominiums here in the Philippines and also by being the first movers here in the City of Golden Friendship they paved a way for Kagayanons to continue to enjoy living with nature.

ECOLOGICALLY EFFICIENT DESIGN

It is true indeed that men cannot survive with bread alone! 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.

CONVENIENT AND RELAXING LOCATION

Living in a busy world we find ways t start our morning right! And a breathtaking view can be just the right answer in starting the day. Primavera Residences is located at Upper Carmen, on top of the city, where a building’s height can greatly enhance the view of the horizon. Instead of seeing a busy street and buildings outside your window, you can enjoy watching the facade of the mountain horizon. What more is there to complete a convenient experience? One of the Philippines’ leading supermarkets is located right beside Primavera! You don’t need to go the distance just to shop or buy daily necessities which can really save time and money. Now that’s what you call convenient!
