South Cotabato nests at the lower half of SOCCSKSARGEN, home to the provinces of South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, and General Santos City. Its first-class, highly urbanized city, General Santos, is the regional center for industry and commerce. Tourism is also a key economic activity in the locale, as its terrains offer spectacular panoramas and the prospect of incredible adventures. While General Santos exhibits steady progress, it also pays homage to tradition through arts, festivals, and food. GenSan, as it is affectionately called, counts its heritage and culture as keys to identity, worldview, and way of life.
Vista Land is building an extraordinary township and ready-for-occupancy (RFO) house-and-lot communities where Mindanaoan homebuyers and investors may find their place in the sun and aspire for a future they work so hard for.
General Santos City: Where bounty and beauty come together
Located along the coastline that hugs Sarangani Bay, General Santos City, the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, exudes a more progressive landscape. With an economy anchored on agriculture and fishing industries, GenSan also covers much of the ground in tourism. The city boasts the largest airport in Mindanao, and one of the country’s modern international seaports, The Makar Wharf.
Gensan earned itself the nickname Boom City of the South, owing to its vast exports, the influx of manufacturing and business process outsourcing (BPO) firms, and its many festivals, like the much anticipated Kalilangan Festival, which parades pride in its art and traditions.
Living high and living it up at Altafina
Vista Land is building a micro-city in General Santos City through its collection of master planned developments called Vista Estates. Inspired by the sun-soaked outlook of San Diego, California, the striking similarities between these dynamic metropolises lend themselves to a thriving integrated community in Southern Mindanao.
Altafina is a portmanteau of alta, Spanish for high, and fina, meaning fine, calling to mind images of living high and living it up. It exudes a delight and dauntlessness that the metropolis is designed to capture and offer its residents. The retail selections in Altafina will measure up to the reputation of GenSan as a shopping hub—naturally, amazing food and beverage choices follow. Radiating the groove of a San Diego beach town, its amenities will maintain a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Embracing the city’s rich cultural diversity, spirited experiences, and abundant opportunities, Altafina curates a range of architectural styles and well-planned public spaces. Office spaces will rise side by side soothing parks, landscaped walkways, and modern commercial centers, fostering a balanced urban environment.
The residential configurations include mid-rise condominiums and neighborly house-and-lot communities. Its first condominium cluster, Altafina Residences, will offer vertical abodes to starting families, entrepreneurs, or young professionals who prefer to live near their places of work.
Each building provides approximately 23 units per floor, with a selection of one- and two-bedroom residences. Seven to 12 storeys per condominium create medium layout density, allowing for privacy and breathing space. The buildings will be equipped with smart technology and security and safety features. At Altafina, the varied choices are now made even more rewarding with a limited-time PHP 100,000 gift certificate offer to help buyers furnish their new homes.
