Its battle cry has always been to build a home for every Filipino.

Since its inception in 1997, Suntrust Properties Inc. has made it its charge to provide Filipinos with reasonably priced yet superior quality homes in strategically located masterplanned communities. It earnestly overcame one obstacle after another—the Asian financial crisis, a changeable political climate, a slew of natural disasters, an extended pandemic—just so it could hand over to Filipino families the best investment for their hard-earned savings: a home for keeps.

The property developer believes that a house or a condo unit goes beyond being a shelter. It is a place where one’s dreams are nurtured and lifestyles are fulfilled. Therefore, Suntrust keeps attuned to the needs of every Filipino, making sure that each residential development is well-suited to its future residents, from the unit cuts to the amenities, the neighborhood and its location.

Beyond essentials

For Suntrust, producing modestly priced homes does not mean scrimping on features. Whether one is opting for a vertical residential community or a horizontal one, homeowners get to enjoy amenities which are usually expected only from higher priced developments—fitness facilities such as a well-equipped gym, swimming pools for both kids and adults, lounging areas and beautifully landscaped pocket gardens.

Delivering beyond the essentials, Suntrust likewise strives to deliver projects that can make its homeowners feel immediately at home. As a good number of its homeowners are overseas Filipino workers, the property developer has come up with themed developments that are designed to bring a comfortable and familiar atmosphere to the residents every time they come home.

Charm and style aren’t lost on the property developer even when it comes to its vertical residential communities in the metro. Where expansive, grassy spaces are limited, Suntrust incorporates green pocket parks where residents can breathe in fresh air, spend some time outdoors and get some sun. It also has in its portfolio elegantly designed towers and resort-inspired developments.

Strategic locations

Knowing full well how its future residents value time, convenience and cost-efficiency, Suntrust sees to it that it builds its homes in strategic locations. Its condominiums, for instance, stand near the city center, along important thoroughfares, surrounded by essential services and within walking distance of major transport hubs.

Its subdivisions outside the metro, meanwhile, are a quick drive from business hubs, schools, hospitals and commercial establishments. Some of its developments offer retail components, for the benefit and comfort of residents.

Passion, commitment Its mission, of course, wouldn’t be accomplished without the company’s impassioned and spirited Suntrustees, led by its dynamic management. Perhaps its warmhearted, enthusiastic team adds to that welcoming, homelike feel in every Suntrust property.

In its most recent sales awards, Suntrust president Atty. Harrison M. Paltongan emphasized on the importance of working as one unit and lifting each other up so that the entire team will emerge victorious, despite the circumstances. Every member is encouraged to live by values such as integrity, honesty, and endurance, and to inspire others to be a better version of themselves.

Come rain or shine, Suntrust remains undeterred in contributing solutions to address the country’s housing problem. Twenty-five years and over 30 developments later, its crusade to create a home for every Filipino continues.
