Porac in Pampanga may not ring a bell or turn heads among homebuyers. They couldn’t even point its location on a paper map. There’s also a long misconception about Porac as a backward town, owing to its history being one of the devastated areas during the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the ‘90s. But everything is about to change! All these will be left behind in the past as the Porac of today — especially the Porac of the future — is touted as a growth center, where the mix of business, leisure, and living will become an ideal affair.
Only around a hundred kilometers away from Metro Manila, real estate experts have chosen Porac as one of the next places to be, not only due to its accessible location, but also the fact that the municipality is at the “center” of everything.
Because of Porac’s mighty potential as a growth area, developers have flocked to this genteel town on the verge of modernity. One of the first ones is Suntrust Properties Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Megaworld Corporation. As it makes its mark in the North, it is introducing a community that puts luxury in countryside living, and its name is The Arcadia.
The 22.6-hectare community, located in Barangays Manibaug and Paralaya, will become Porac’s most prime address — a piece of real estate that is bound to elevate the lifestyle not only of the town but Pampanga in general. The Arcadia brings Suntrust Properties’ world-class developments right in the center of Central Luzon.
“We are proud to bring The Arcadia to Porac, Pampanga as this fulfills our vision to provide a home for every Filipino. This means catering to areas such as Porac that have a great potential to become a center for economic growth, education, leisure, and living,” said Atty. Harry Paltongan, president of Suntrust Properties.
Atty. Paltongan is firm on his belief that The Arcadia will be at the center of it all, as it is just 20 minutes away from a major university in Luzon and a super mall. What’s more is that The Arcadia is just 20 minutes away from the Clark International Airport (via the Friendship Highway), literally bringing the world to your doorstep.
As for the urban areas, The Arcadia is half an hour away from San Fernando City, 45 minutes away from New Clark Green City (which includes all its attractions and leisure spots), an hour away from Subic (via SCTEX), an hour away from Bataan, and just an hour-and-a-half away from Quezon City (via NLEX). How is that for accessibility?
“The location of The Arcadia is something we are also highlighting as homebuyers realize the importance of a home that is ‘far away’ from the crowd, yet still accessible and near various landmarks, offices, schools, and hospitals. An added attraction here is the accessibility to an international airport, which is expected to be the gateway of the future,” he said.
Elevated countryside lifestyle
To those who haven’t seen luxury touches in a community located in the countryside, they just have to look at The Arcadia.
“Being in the countryside doesn’t mean that we also build communities that are sub-par. In fact, wherever we go and build, we make sure that we elevate the lifestyle of the place. With The Arcadia, we put our trust in Porac and aim to transform it into a place where an elevated and luxurious countryside living is possible,” said Atty. Paltongan. “With our commitment to excellence and craftsmanship, we believe that you can find your first home to raise your family, or a retirement home to enjoy the fruits of your labor at The Arcadia.”
As Suntrust Properties’ first residential development in Pampanga, it is pulling out all the stops to ensure that The Arcadia is the benchmark of a luxurious countryside community through its modern contemporary homes and class-leading amenities.
Home seekers can choose from a wide selection of house models, such as the two-story single-detached Aberdeen which comes with four bedrooms; or the charming Arrah, a two-story single-attached, which also comes with four bedrooms. There’s also the townhouse, with Anais and Andorra models to choose from. There are also lots only available, from 200 to 280 square meters.
“Savor this pristine countryside lifestyle inside a master-planned community that is designed with shared spaces to encourage quality time with family and friendship with neighbors. With a vast allocated space for its central amenity area, residents will have the grand experience of enjoying the outdoors,” he described.
Among the amenities include a clubhouse for special occasions, swimming pool for relaxation, basketball court, children’s play area, and pocket gardens. A commercial area is also rising at the entrance to make living convenient for residents on a 24/7 basis.
Do not miss this chance to be among the first to savor the convenience and potential that Porac will bring. Waiting for another year or two may be too late as homebuyers, investors, retirees, and OFWs are scrambling for properties in communities built by trusted developers such as Suntrust. And their top-of-mind project in Central Luzon is none other than The Arcadia.
Why do they trust Suntrust? Suntrust Properties (together with Stateland Inc., which it has acquired) has a combined real estate track record of more than 65 years. It is aggressively expanding its portfolio of vertical and horizontal projects nationwide.
