A Filipino-inspired development
Balai Cordova is designed with deep respect for Filipino culture and values. The development features five towers with a total of 800 residential units with amenities that are thoughtfully crafted to resonate with Filipino traditions and modern needs. The project includes:
Dayun: The entry part of the development featuring a pool, playground, and communal spaces, all situated on the second floor.
Tapok: A dedicated area for remote work, acknowledging the growing trend of work-from-home arrangements.
Duwa: Spaces for play, including playgrounds for both children and adults, and a wellness walk on the ground floor designed to encourage residents to achieve 5,000 steps daily.
Envisioned as a thriving community, Balai Cordova includes a commercial street at the front that provides convenient access to neighborhood shops and essential services. This was done with the purpose of fostering a self-sufficient and vibrant community atmosphere in mind.
“Balai is a home for every Filipino. It’s a home for our own people. So it’s close to our hearts, it’s a home that we want to give to our people,” expressed CEO and President Grand Benedicto on what inspired the development.
Strategic location, market appeal, and sustainability
Situated in a rapidly developing area, Balai Cordova offers easy access to major commercial and business districts, making it an attractive option for potential residents. The primary market for Balai Cordova consists of investors who recognize the area’s growth potential, along with individuals seeking a more affordable yet accessible living option close to the city, calling to a tertiary market interested in short-term rentals, such as Airbnb, providing diverse opportunities for property investors.
Arturo Secuya, Balai Cordova’s architect, made sure to integrate sustainability and eco-friendly practices throughout its design and construction, emphasizing the use of low-flow fixtures, sustainable materials, and efficient building practices. The intention is not only to create an environmentally friendly living space but also to reduce traffic congestion and enhance the overall quality of life for residents.
Cordova Mayor Cesar Suan expressed their full support for the project, as it contributes greatly to the municipality’s development.
