The 20-storey The Pearl Global Residences to add 222 residential units in the 30-hectare The Mactan Newtown

Property giant Megaworld is launching its fifth residential development inside the 30-hectare The Mactan Newtown in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.

The 20-storey The Pearl Global Residences will add 222 units in the existing 1,836 residential unit inventory in the township. It will be the 11th residential condominium tower to rise inside The Mactan Newtown, which boasts of its own beachfront.

The new residential tower offers a generous mix of unit choices: executive studio with either a balcony or a lanai (up to 40 square meters); one-bedroom and executive one-bedroom with balcony (up to 59 square meters); two-bedroom with balcony or lanai (up to 80 square meters); and three-bedroom with balcony (up to 116 square meters).

To rise near the road leading to the historic Lapu-Lapu Shrine, The Pearl Global Residences will offer its future residents with amenities at the second level that include an adult pool and kiddie pool, fitness center, outdoor lounge and seating areas, children’s play area, function room, game room, reading nook, and co-working spaces. 

At the roof deck, there will also be an outdoor lounge and garden, a dry bar, and a viewing deck where residents and guests can enjoy the panoramic views of the Cebu mountains, the Magellan Bay and the Hilutungan Channel, the nearby islands, and the Lapu-Lapu Shrine. 

“The Pearl Global Residences will showcase the Filipino pride to the world. We got the name from the country’s title of ‘Pearl of the Orient’, and as we expect more visitors and tourists to come to The Mactan Newtown in the coming years, we want this tower to be one of the icons of Filipino pride inside our development,” says Noli D. Hernandez, president, Megaworld Cebu Properties, Inc. 

The residential tower is expected for completion in 2025. The company is expected to generate P2.3-billion in sales from this project.

To date, Megaworld has already launched 10 residential towers from four residential condominium developments in The Mactan Newtown. 

The township is also home to five office towers with a total office inventory of around 81,000 square meters.

Just last year, the company also opened its first hotel in the township, the 547-room Savoy Hotel Mactan. It is expected to open two more hotels inside the township in the next two years.

Megaworld also announced that it is building the Mactan Newtown Beach Walk, a unique concept of mall development on a cliff by the seaside.
