Phillippine Developer Looks to non-OFW markets to build up sales
Thursday, 01 May 2008 22:32
{mosimage}Amidst the US economic slowdown, a Filipino developer of affordable medium rise condominiums north of Manila is looking to non-US overseas Filipino workers (OFW) markets to continue addressing the need for quality homeownership. 

At the sidelines of the launch of its newest development, Belton Communities Inc. Sr. AVP for Business Development and Project General Manager Tonton Gatuslao said they will be actively marketing their affordable housing project to OFWs in Hong Kong, Singapore, Italy, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Eton International Marketing Managers will be assigned to these countries to present the project to our 'kababayans'.

Belton Communities Inc. (BCI) was recently established by the Lucio Tan Group's property arm, Eton Properties Philippines, Inc. (EPPI.), as its vehicle for its affordable housing segment. BCI aims to provide a new standard in affordable living.

For its first salvo, it has launched North Belton Communities, an affordable mid-rise condo township near the major malls in Quezon City.

North Belton Communities is within an expansive 13.8-hectare prime lot along Quirino Highway in Novaliches, Quezon City and is readily accessible through main thoroughfares such as EDSA, NLEX, Quirino Highway, Tandang Sora, Congressional Road and via the MRT.

Previously, for its high-end projects, parent firm EPPI has been tapping US-based OFWs to promote its various premium developments in the cities of Makati and Manila.

"US-based Filipinos are in the higher-income brackets, so we would like our marketing efforts to be in that direction especially for our prime developments. But we are partially diverting efforts from this market because the US economy is currently weakening and is marred with subprime woes," he said.

Gatuslao said, "This time around, we are focusing our international roadshows in the non-US markets, particularly Asia and Europe where there is a big concentration of Filipinos. These relatively lower-income-bracket niches are also perfect for our affordable condo project."

North Belton Communities' first residential phase, The Manors, occupies an expansive 3.3 hectares within the township project. The Manors comprises 14 five-storey mid-rise buildings.
