Beyond ordinary lifestyle in culture-rich Bacolod

It bears that resounding promise of convenience, exclusivity and affluence set amid the resplendence of Bacolod’s rich culture and heritage.

Nara Residences brings to Bacolod Rockwell Land’s signature flair in creating a much sought elevated lifestyle for the discerning few. As Rockwell Land’s first high-end residential condominium development in this Visayan city, Nara Residences now stands to be that ideal embodiment of the Rockwell promise in Bacolod—that is, a seamless fusion of progress and opulence with heritage and discerning tastes.



Growth center

Bacolod naturally falls on the radar of Rockwell Land—as with other companies—owing to the city’s stellar economic performance over the past decade, prior to the outbreak of COVID-19. Beyond being famous for its heritage mansions and delectable local cuisine, this growth center has since attracted local and foreign investors in manufacturing, outsourcing and real estate.

And even in the midst of the pandemic, Bacolod has remained a preferred destination outside the capital region, with Colliers International Philippines even recommending outsourcing firms to consider cities like Bacolod for their expansion.

Colliers disclosed last year that investors and end users may start considering housing in lower density communities outside Metro Manila such as Bacolod, which can offer larger units and more open spaces. Developers, it said, should “include upscale amenities and other recreational facilities… to capture the growing demand from end-users and investors” in Bacolod.

A warm welcome to this laidback abode

Perfect fit

Nara Residences, which will rise within an 11-ha terrain along GM Cordova Avenue, thus comes at the most opportune time—providing a perfect fit for the investor looking for a sound, potentially income generating asset to boost his or her portfolio, and for the homebuyer wanting a taste of the modern, upscale and exclusive lifestyle that is distinctly Rockwell.

Expect to come home to a living space that naturally reflects Bacolodnons’ way of life—ever progressive and respectful of their hometown’s rich culture.

For one, Nara Residences’ strategic location places residents close to Bacolod’s premier establishments, business centers, a world-class golf course, the New Bacolod-Silay International Airport and other modern conveniences offered by such a dynamic city. Within a 5-km radius, one can also have easy access to medical facilities, prestigious educational institutions, shopping centers and the Bacolod Government Center.

Even within its premises, future residents will also find multiple retail establishments and leisure options for their day-to-day essentials.

Rest and respite at Nara Residences clubhouse

Fitting sanctuary

Despite its proximity to such modern conveniences, Nara Residences still offers a sanctuary which will allow one to revel in that familiar relaxing, laidback vibe of Bacolod. As much as 80 percent of this 11-ha property will be allocated for open spaces and lush landscapes—sprawling grounds mimic Bacolod’s vast landscapes. At the same time, these spaces will allow families and neighbours within this exclusive community to safely commune and nurture relations.

Nara Residences is also reminiscent of the city’s most prominent heritage houses, with spacious units, 3-meter high ceilings and low-density floors. On offer are bigger, more flexible cuts perfect for each type of family—from a 38-sqm studio, a 75-sqm one-bedroom, an 83-sqm two-bedroom, to a 104-sqm three-bedroom unit.

Its modern features meanwhile extend an extra blanket of safety for its future residents. A standard in all existing Rockwell developments, these features include automatic fire alarm, fire detection and sprinkler systems; 100 percent standby emergency power; security system with electronic access control; closed-circuit TV monitoring; ventilation systems; and pre-assigned parking spaces.

A 2-bedroom unit’s living and dining area

Adding the final touch to that famed signature Rockwell lifestyle are the expansive amenities, thoughtfully selected to complement one’s living experience in Bacolod.

Located at the heart of the community is the Nara Residences clubhouse, where life and leisure come into play. Residents get to exclusively enjoy the swimming pools, an outdoor multi-purpose court surrounded by lush greens, a fitness gym, as well as function rooms and an events place, where families and friends can host private functions to celebrate milestones.



There is no doubt that Rockwell truly understands the kind of convenience, exclusivity and affluence sought by the well-heeled market. But more impressively is the fact that it can impeccably weave its signature lifestyle to the distinct character of the community where it is present—thus providing an enviable address with an elevated living experience that continues to be in a class of its own.
