Decca Homes' Mactan 5

CEBU, Philippines - 8990 Housing Development Corporation, the developers of Decca Homes has started selling properties at their newest offering, the Decca Homes Mactan 5.

Senior Construction Manager Alexander Ace Sotto said the property, located in Sudtungan-Pakpakan Road in Barangay Basak, is 9.4 hectares big and will have 1,196 2-storey townhouse units. The average lot area is 40 sq. meters and the average floor area is 55 sq. meters.

“We have finished constructing 30 units and two units are ready for viewing. So far, we have already sold 95 units,” he said.

Engr. Sotto said that the townhouses in Mactan 5 underwent a “facelift,” which means that Mactan 5 units have a different façade compared to other Decca projects.

The property will have its own basketball court, clubhouse, an underground drainage system, a perimeter fence, a playground, a guardhouse and streetlights.

Aside from affordable housing units, Engr. Sotto said that one of the things that 8990 Housing is proud about their developments is their use of pre-casting, which they started in 2003.

“You can control the quality if you use pre-fabricated materials. We use slabs that are pre-fabricated and hydraulic cranes to assemble the housing units. This technology helps us build faster, like one house in just seven days. And these are quality houses that are bare but are already painted,” he said, adding that the townhouse units will all be ready by 4th quarter of next year.

Aside from horizontal housing developments, 8990 Housing is also planning to do vertical developments such as mid-rise four-storey condo-type buildings in Metro Cebu. “We are targeting to start the construction of these MRBs next year,” he said.

Decca Homes and other 8990 Housing projects can be availed through Pag-ibig loans or through their in-house financing facility. There will be an open house in Decca Homes Mactan 5 on March 20.
