By Nicole J. Managbanag

GROUNDBREAKING of the Euro-Asian 10-storey Prima-Vera Condominium at Pueblo de Oro has been set between March and April this year.

Voltaire Antonio Flores, Pueblo de Oro product manager, said completion of the condominium is targeted in November 2011.

Flores said the owner-developer of the condominium, Italpinas, a Filipino-owned company based in Italy, is now in the process of getting the business permit for the project. Italpinas is a member of Green Building Council, an association of architect builders that conceptualizes eco-friendly projects.

Pueblo de Oro acts as the marketing arm of Italpinas, making it as the fast-rising competitors of Crown Asia, Filinvest and Ayala group of companies here in Cagayan de Oro.

Prima-Vera Condominium would be conveniently located near SM City Cagayan de Oro, giving a majestic view of the entire city and Macajalar bay.

Flores said the condominium is going to be an eco-friendly environment as they would be using solar panels to conserve energy, with state-of-the-art facilities, well-planned environment, good ventilation and recycled but durable construction materials.

”Our primary concern is the clients so we would make it a point that residents would surely benefit from what they invest,” he said.

As of the moment, Pueblo de Oro is yet to make public the full details of the project but the company is inviting Kagay-anons abroad who wish to settle in Cagayan de Oro to consider Prima-Vera Condominium as a good investment.
