What are the markers of a comfortable home? Do you consider space and how you and your family will fit and live in it? Is it the location and ease of access to commercial and recreational areas? What about the community and your future neighbors? 

The different aspects that make a home homely vary from one individual to another, but Maayo Terraces Saludad has it all for the Bacolodnon homeowner.

Situated inside PHINMA Properties’ Saludad Township, Maayo Terraces is built for young professionals and growing families, and is minutes away from the New Bacolod-Silay International Airport, as well as nearby retail centers, schools, and hospitals. 60% of the Maayo Terraces development is also reserved for open, green spaces, including courtyards, gardens, swimming pools, and a clubhouse complete with a fitness gym and co-working area. 

Not only is it ideal for growing a family, but it’s also perfect for those looking for quiet living away from the congested metro.

According to PHINMA Vice President and Chief Township Officer, Paolo V. Reyes, the first Maayo Terraces building is set to be built in the fourth quarter of 2027. Maayo Terraces is slated to contain a total of 11 residential buildings, with 2,922 units costing ₱5 million – ₱9 million each. Available unit types include: Studio, 1BR, and 1BR Loft.

Maayo Terraces and the Saludad Township are being developed with the JEPP Property Corporation. Royal Pineda+ Architecture·Design is the firm that master-planned Saludad and designed Maayo Terraces.

Bacolod in view of the Maayo Terraces homeowner

According to Ar. Royal Pineda, Principal Architect and CEO of Royal Pineda+ Architecture·Design, owning a Maayo Terraces condo doesn’t only come with the unit and your pre-selected list of complementary amenities. Instead, unlike your typical condominium inside the city with a view of other grey-scaled buildings, the entire Saludad Township is built with the nearby Silay, Mandalagan, and Kanlaon mountains in view. A Maayo Terraces resident is privy to the sight of Bacolod’s expansive, wonderful natural space.

“Land can be very luxurious. That’s the beauty of this development, because the idea is to be able to experience the expanse,” says Pineda.

This too is reflected in each Maayo Terraces unit, where Studio, 1BR, and 1BR Lofts come with expansive glass windows, mountain-framed balconies, and elevated ceilings up to 2.9 meters, inviting both natural ventilation and lighting to your space.

The markers of a true home

Beyond the metrics of convenience homeowners constantly look for, comfort, a sense of belonging, and a feeling that says ‘this is right for me’ are additional, implicit factors that decide whether or not a condominium unit can be a proper home.

“We wanted to break away from sterile, overly perfect model units, and turn this into an experience where people step in and immediately feel an emotional connection,” said the PHINMA Properties team.

With interior designer Pamela D.G. Reyes, each Maayo Terraces unit comes with materials like cane and linen, earthy tones, and expansive use of natural light. “Every material had to evoke a sense of familiarity. We intended to make it feel like a real home, not just a space, but a setting for everyday moments and lasting memories,” Reyes shared.

A quality home for Bacolodnons

But outside architecture and interiors, for PHINMA Properties and JEPP Property Corporation—organizations with deep roots in Bacolod—Saludad and Maayo Terraces aren’t your run-of-the-mill property development projects. Instead, they’re testaments to Bacolod’s economic growth, and hope for a time when Bacolodnons will choose to stay home.

“We want to help urbanize Bacolod. This is for all of you. We want to be part of this journey for Bacolod,” says Raphael B. Felix, President and Chief Executive Officer for PHINMA.

Atty. Regina Jacinto-Barrientos, from JEPP Property Corporation, shares, “Bacolod families are also very global in perspective. We send our kids to Manila abroad to study and work.” For her, although there is interest in these people to return to Bacolod, they’ve been exposed to certain quality of life standards that aren’t simply available back home. 

Maayo Terraces and the Saludad Township also hope to offer returning Bacolodnons world-class living at the comfort and familiarity of their hometown. Jacinto-Barrientos adds, “That’s what we’re offering as an option. That while you’re living successfully in New York with Central Park right in front of you, we’ve got mountains that those parks don’t have.”

Without a space befitting you and your family’s needs, in a place away from your daily routine—is that something that you can truly call home? Maayo Terraces understands that quality amenities, access to services, or breathtaking views aren’t enough to make a home. It’s that sense of peace, belonging, and comfort that you won’t find elsewhere. 

The Saludad Township is a 21-hectare master-planned community along the Bacolod-Silay Airport Access Road. Inside, Maayo Terraces Saludad offers mid-rise condominium living, while Likha Estates provides land-only lots for custom homes.
