The Camella Series of homes in Tarlac.

North of Manila is a gateway community where the simple dreams of hardworking Filipinos serve as the cornerstone of growth. Tarlac, just 89 kilometers away from the nation’s capital, has been emerging as a promise land where the aspirations of ordinary Pinoys are coming true. The joyful hopes of starting families, retiring couples, and every determined person striving for a better life have found a home. It’s address? Camella Tarlac.

This 61-hectare development is right at the heart of Luzon – at the center, in fact, of Central Luzon. Just 15 minutes away from the Tarlac exit of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), it is an hour and a half drive from Metro Manila, making it a viable daily commute for those who work in the capital.

Being central in the entire Luzon as well makes it a favored location for those who live in the more northern provinces to seek a second home without moving too far from their roots. Tarlac, being an agro-industrial province, provides ideal conditions for employment. The presence of special economic zones and its proximity to commercial centers has put Tarlac on the map for those seeking better opportunities but reluctant to let go of the more leisurely pace that provincial living offers.
Within Tarlac are malls such as SM, Robinsons, Magic Star Mall and Metro Town Mall. Other places of interest are the Bamban Caves in Bamban, Camp O’ Donnell and the Sto. Domingo Death March Marker in Capas, and the Dolores Springs in Tarlac City.

“Tarlac personifies the age-old mantra of the property industry: location, location location!,” said Camella President Maribeth Tolentino. “With the completion of the SCTEX, the strengthening of foreign investments in the special economic zones, and the growth of cultural and commercial hubs, this is indeed a growth area where residential properties are soon going to be in greater demand.”
Attesting to this growth is the presence of key educational institutions such as the Tarlac State University, College of the Holy Spirit, Don Bosco Technical Institute and the Philippine Women’s University.

“At the forefront of this growth is Camella,” said Dante Julongbayan, Camella head for North Luzon. In fact, with its over 30 years of experience and credibility, it is the first developer of such caliber to identify this potential and respond to the need in this area.

Camella is the nearest subdivision to the city of Tarlac. It is accessible to schools, commercial centers and entertainment places. Within its perimeter is the more affordable Lessandra series which offers a range of model homes such as Reana, Margarita, Reena and Marga, all designed to meet the various requirements of the diverse market.

The Camella Series, on the other hand, has five model home choices namely Lara, Marvela, Carmela, Drina and Elaisa.

Camella Tarlac also provides modern amenities that are available in prime residential developments. It boasts of a clubhouse, swimming pools for adults and children, basketball court, tree park, jogging path, picnic area, and playground, among others. This gated community also features round-the-clock security. Furthermore, residents can enjoy the convenience of a shuttle service from the property to a drop-off point in the province’s capital city.

Packages range from P800,000 to P3.5 million – addressing the varied requirements of the market that includes singles, newly-weds, families with children, and retirees. To date, OFWs, specifically from Italy and the Middle East, are among the biggest contributors of this growing market.

Camella Tarlac is a development of Camella, a subsidiary of Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc., the country’s largest home builder.
