Pueblo de Oro unveiled Southridge, an ambitious 31-hectare mixed-use township designed as a Silicon Valley-style community in Cagayan de Oro's emerging Uptown district. The development combines office spaces, business process outsourcing (BPO) facilities, residential units, leisure facilities, and retail components in a cohesive campus environment. Strategically positioned along the Pueblo de Oro-Laguindingan Diversion Road—a critical commercial corridor—Southridge leverages the city's expanding economic zones and growing appeal to tech and BPO investors. The project capitalizes on the region's infrastructure improvements, including the ongoing Laguindingan Airport expansion (which is doubling passenger capacity) and the ₱145.56 billion Central Mindanao Highway project linking CDO to Bukidnon. For investors, Southridge represents a rare opportunity to participate in a first-mover mixed-use project in one of Mindanao's fastest-growing commercial hubs.

Real Estate Outlook

The development is expected to drive significant property appreciation in Uptown CDO, with comparable mixed-use projects typically commanding 35-50% premiums over single-use residential. As BPO employment expands in Northern Mindanao, demand for integrated live-work-play communities will intensify, potentially pushing commercial lot values from current ₱12,000-18,000/sqm to ₱25,000-35,000/sqm within 3-5 years. Early-stage investors in surrounding areas should prioritize locations within the Pueblo de Oro-Laguindingan corridor.
