PHirst Park Homes, Inc. (PPHI), the affordable housing unit of Century Properties Group Inc. (CPGI), is expanding into the socialized, economic, and mid-income residential markets with initial launches worth P15.8 billion.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, CPGI said PHirst is also introducing its version of a mixed-use format which will have multiple residential product offerings, as well as support commercial, retail, and institutional components.
These expansion efforts bring forth a broader range of housing packages and price points to provide first-time home buyers with a wider set of options to acquire their PHirst home.
These new product lines will be launched under CPG’s new subsidiary, Century PHirst Corporation (PHirst). PHirst will underscore three flagship projects as part of this strategic initiative.
“The formation of the new subsidiary for the PHirst brand shows our deep commitment to cater to the diverse needs of first-time homebuyers in the Philippines,” CPGI president and CEO Marco Antonio said.
He added that, “With this strategic initiative, we are poised to bring more quality homes to the market, that are accessible to a wider range of Filipinos.”
At the forefront is PHirst’s maiden mid-income development, PHirst Editions Batulao. Spanning 14.1 hectares in Batulao, Batangas, this development provides a total of 629 single attached and single detached units with a total sales value of P3.06 billion.
PHirst Editions Batulao offers 4 house models: Cartland 54, Charles 70, Christie 90, and Corin 120 with floor areas ranging from 54-120sqm and typical lot areas ranging from 88-132sqm. These units are available for purchase at prices ranging from P3.2 million to P6 million.
