It has always been one of my favorite places in the Philippines.

Baguio City is top-of-mind whether you’re down for some serious rest and recreation or if you’re meaning to go on a deep soul searching. There is something uplifting and therapeutic with the fresh, pine-scented Benguet air. Pair that with the breathtaking sunrise view of a mist-covered Cordillera, or the dreamy and introspective feel of the setting sun. Don’t forget the strawberry wine or that cup of Benguet blend coffee.

One property player that would probably agree is Suntrust Properties Inc. The wholly-owned subsidiary of Megaworld Corp. recently topped off The Mist Residences, its second premier residential condominium in the City of Pines. The exclusive event, which was held on Nov. 18, signifies that the construction phase of the project is right on schedule.

“Despite the challenges we face today, we remain committed to our investors and homebuyers,” said Suntrust president Atty. Harry M. Paltongan as he addressed invited brokers, agents and guests at the ceremony. “The topping off signifies that the building is structurally complete and our contractors are coming in to finish the walls, windows, mechanical and electrical requirements.”

The Mist Residences is an eight-story modern condominium project offering 221 residential units and 10 commercial spaces. Amenities include a zen garden, viewing deck, daycare, function room and a fitness gym. Future homeowners will have the advantage of a convenient lifestyle with its accessible commercial area, 24-hour security, CCTV in common areas and a professional property management group.

Located along Marcos Highway, Bakakeng Central in Baguio City, The Mist Residences is designed to complement the city’s cool mountain climate and relaxing vibe.

“As Suntrust marks its 24th anniversary this year, we recognize the significance of unity among its people whose crucial role and synergy can drive the company towards its growth and success. Today, we are gathered to witness another milestone in the company’s journey,” Paltongan added.

Amid all the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, Suntrust continues to thrive and extend its reach nationwide. From being a rookie to being one of the most trusted developers in the country, Suntrust has been building affordable and quality homes, one city at a time.

Suntrust guarantees its homebuyers that their needs are listened to, said Paltongan. More than providing affordably priced condominiums and house-and-lot units, the property developer remains committed in helping address the Philippines’ housing backlog for all market segments.
