ONE of the five provinces that comprise Western Visayas region, Negros Occidental is the fourth biggest island in the country. Facing the island-province of Guimaras and Iloilo province on Panay Island to the northwest across the Panay Gulf and Guimaras Strait, the province is known as the “Sugarbowl of the Philippines”, producing more than half the national sugar output.
Its capital, Bacolod City, has exponentially transformed into an economic powerhouse in the region over the years. Considered the center of commerce and finance, the city hosts manufacturing and beverage bottling plants, heavy industrial businesses, steel fabrication, power generation, agricultural enterprises, and marine farming operations.
Bacolodnons are perhaps best known worldwide for their jovial, good-natured personality and their annual celebration of the MassKara Festival. Held every October, the celebration is a portmanteau of the English mask and Spanish cara or face, giving rise to its moniker, the City of Smiles.
More than a thriving metropolis in the region, Bacolod City is renowned for its historic landmarks, natural landscapes, and lively festivities. Its cuisine, particularly its sweet treats and delicacies, ranks among the top flavor profiles in the country.
Bacolod is where the richness of culture, cuisine, and community converge to create a well-appointed lifestyle. The laidback charm of the city and its warm hospitality will embrace residents and visitors with open arms, making one feel instantly at home.
Olvera, where exquisite meets historic
Nestled in this charming city is a stunning multi-tower development inspired by the famous Pueblos Blancos of Southern Spain. Pristine and historic structures sparkle in the mountains like gleaming jewels against the azure sky and verdant landscape, creating a breathtaking panorama that soothes the soul and uplifts the spirit.
Situated on prime land, the pulse of the city merges with the genteel elegance Bacolod is known for. It is where dreams are realized, life’s simple pleasures are celebrated, and the soul finds solace in exquisite beauty.
A place of distinction and a prime investment
Inspired by a village in Cadiz, Olvera is part of the famous Spanish Pueblos Blancos. Located along the White Village Route, where all structures are painted in bright white, standing out for a clean and historic look against the blue sky and the surrounding green mountains, Olvera in Spain looks over the countryside, where olive trees are planted as far as the eyes can see. The Spanish government declared it “A Protected Area of Artistic and Historical Importance” in 1983.
Olvera’s multi-tower condominium cluster called Olvera Residences takes full advantage of the charm of the city. Standing on a one-hectare property where the bustle of a booming town meets the genteel elegance known to every Bacolodnon, it has much to offer to those looking for either ready-to-move-in homes or ready-to-run business places, or both. This mid-rise community comes replete with modern conveniences necessary to live the upbeat lifestyle the Negrenses have always aspired for.
