  1. Where is Pueblo El Grande (the “Subdivision”) located?
    • It is located in Barangay Tayud, Consolacion, Cebu.
  2. How do I arrive at the Subdivision?
    • Pueblo El Grande Subdivision can be accessed either thru the North National Highway or thru the Cansaga Bay Bridge.
    • The Cansaga Bay Bridge is a major component of the Cebu North Coastal Road Project. This connects the city of Mandaue and its neighboring town, Consolacion. From Paknaan, Mandaue, one takes a mere 10-minute drive along the 1.2 kilometer stretch of the Cansaga Bay Bridge at the same time enjoying the scenic bay view. Upon reaching the foot of the bridge, Pueblo El Grande is only 2.5 kilometers traversing through a fully-concreted eight-meter wide provincial road.
    • Pueblo El Grande can be accessed also through the north national highway. From the national highway, one makes a turn in the corner or bend with a prominent sign that reads “TO POOR CLARE MONASTERY” (the “Corner”), subsequently turning right when one reaches the Tayud public market junction, proceeding for around 700 meters until one arrives at the site. For reference, Pueblo El Grande is only 2.7 kilometers from the Corner traversing through a fully-concreted eight-meter wide provincial road.

  22. What are some advantages in owning a unit in the Subdivision? How does Pueblo El Grande set itself apart from the rest of the residential developments?
    • Some of the marked and distinct advantages of owning a unit in the Subdivision are as follows:

      • With its strategic location, Pueblo El Grande offers its homeowners the best of both worlds — a self-contained and peaceful retreat after a long day’s work that’s close enough to the bustle of Metro Cebu. And with the building and completion of the Cebu North Reclamation Project, residents of Pueblo El Grande are just mere minutes away from the cities of Mactan, Mandaue and Cebu. In fact with its location, residents are only a short drive or ride away from top-notch schools for their children, commercial and business centers, hospitals, churches and the pristine beaches of northern Cebu, and the island of Mactan where the international airport is situated.

      • There is a unifying Spanish-Mediterranean theme for the entire subdivision that would ensure harmony in architecture, landscaping and design.

      • Pueblo El Grande is an exclusive community that does not compromise on the security of its homeowners. Hence, the installation in each and every home of the state-of-the-art fire and intrusion alarm system that is centrally linked to the monitoring system of its service provider. This feature virtually makes Pueblo El Grande one of the safest residential enclaves in Metro Cebu.

      • The construction quality of the road network, amenities and the houses in the Subdivision is first-rate. Discriminating home buyers and investors cannot help but notice that the amenities enjoyed by the Subdivision residents are typical of those found in high-end and highly priced developments. Consider the following amenities and features of Pueblo El Grande: (i) underground cabling system for the Subdivision utilities such as water, power, telephone, internet and cable, hence, none of those unsightly dangling “spaghetti” wires common in other developments; (ii) centralized fire and intrusion alarm system for each home; (iii) wide and expansive roads and sidewalks with planting strips; (iv) back-up water reservoir system in case of contingencies and service interruptions (iv) clubhouse, large swimming pool, gazebos, picnic areas and parks and playground; and (v) premium house features such as a built-in electrical system in each home that is already generator capable and rooms with individual provisions for air-conditioning units and the electrical outlets are child-safe. We believe this attention to detail is second to none.

      • There are multiple and easy ownership options and schemes with attractive financing packages that make owning a home in Pueblo El Grande even more affordable.

      • Ownership is also very ideal for investment purposes given that there is a constant and steady appreciation of property values in the area with the rising demand for residential spaces in the vicinity. In fact, owning a unit in Pueblo El Grande right now is like purchasing a premium property at a bargain, with realty values in the area already steadily increasing with the current developments of the Cebu North Coastal Road Project (CNCRP) and more so upon full completion of the Road Project and its consequential commercial and other upward developments.

  23. Do I get a title after I own a unit in the Subdivision?

    • Yes, getting a title over your property is a necessary consequence of your ownership. Also, all our lots are free from liens and encumbrances. Under Philippine law, as protection to a buyer of realty, a property developer cannot be licensed to sell developed residential land akin to the Subdivision without making a guarantee on its title and the subsequently issued title of its individual residents. The pertinent housing authorities of the Philippines had duly licensed Pacific Land to sell its Pueblo El Grande development as evidenced by its Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) License to Sell No. 15774.

  24. What is the architectural theme of the Subdivision?

    • Pueblo El Grande is a Spanish Mediterranean-inspired residential village
