16 Jul Cagayan de Oro Condominiums – Great Alternative Lifestyle Residential Buildings Are Now Selling Fast in the City
Around 10 years ago, the proliferation of subdivisions was one of the major indicators that a city was definitely growing and progressing. Naturally, the more influx and growth of professionals in a city, the more living space is needed. In more recent years this trend has started to change with people now searching for alternative lifestyle living, especially when it comes to their residence. So while some people prefer the old fashioned spacious home with a garden, backyard, and garage, others prefer the amenities of tight security, personalized service, and height.
This is where condominiums fit into the picture, and Cagayan de Oro already has their fair share of such living spaces thanks to real estate property companies willing to invest in the city. In fact, some condominiums were already sold out even before construction finished, so this only heightened the investment for more condominiums to sprout around the city. Today, the city’s landscape can be seen dotted with these condominium living spaces, a reminder that Cagayan de Oro City is truly on its way to becoming a fast growing tertiary class city.
