Searching for a property, especially as a first-time home buyer in an unfamiliar area, can feel a bit overwhelming. We get it, that is why we recognize that credibility is key when it comes to purchasing your dream home. Taking a closer look at a developer’s track record and past projects provides the reassurance you need in making such a significant decision. In this article, we shed light on the top two key developers in Tanay, delving into their track record, highlighting notable past projects, and exploring their commitment to quality.
A Brown
A Brown Company, Inc. continues to shape the real estate landscape in the Philippines, providing homebuyers with thoughtfully designed and environmentally conscious living spaces. They stand as a prominent real estate developer, offering a distinguished portfolio that extends across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors all over the country. Some of their notable projects include Xavier Estates in Cagayan de Oro, West Highlands in Butuan City, Amani Grand in Cebu, and Teakwood Hills in Davao. But what truly sets them apart are the deeply ingrained values inspired by Dr. Walter William Brown, the executive chairman of A Brown Corporation. As a trained geologist and geo-chemist, Dr. Brown brings a scientific perspective to the real estate industry, with his background in sectors such as mining, quarrying, palm oil cultivation, and energy in areas like General Santos City, Agusan Del Sur, and other places in Mindanao and Visayas. While his business thrived in the southern regions of the country, his roots are actually traced all the way back to Tanay, where his familial ties run deep. His grandfather served as the town’s mayor during the 1940s with a handful of properties passed down to him four generations ago. And with this, A Brown leads their venture in the east with Adelaida Mountain Residences, a 16-hectare nature-themed master-planned community with lot sizes ranging from 150-450sqm. If you are considering this village in Tanay for your next investment, we’ve compiled a list of A Brown’s past notable projects, providing crucial insights into each development.
