FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

1. What is AZURE NORTH? The Resort Residences at AZURE NORTH is a new, cutting-edge, mixed-use development in San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines that brings the experience of beach front living to the heart of the city. The design concept brings forth a beach-orientated development that covers 8 hectares to the centre of a metropolis, and continues the line of development of another one of Century Properties’ celebrated developments – the Azure Urban Resort Residences located at Bicutan, Parañaque. We have drawn upon the essence of the beach, and then designed an innovative development that brings to the people of Pampanga a new residential experience that balances affordable living with resort style delight.

2. What is the inspiration/concept behind this development? While Azure’s architecture was inspired by Miami’s white ocean swept aesthetic, AZURE NORTH will be more organic, lush and sprawling, with design inspiration coming from the atolls and sentinel-like rocks that jut out from the ocean in some of the world’s enchanting destinations like Koh Samui, the Maldives and, of course, Palawan. The proposed 7 residential towers/town house clusters that form the residential component of the development evoke the sense of rocky outcrops that spring organically from the water and are topped with lush, verdant greenery – encapsulating a central beach oasis and its azure waters.

CENTURY PROPERTIES: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) 1. Who is Century Properties?

Transforming close to a million square meters of space into some of the Philippines’ most premier developments takes more than know-how in building development and design; it also takes equal amounts of passion and insight. These are the reasons why we have come to distinguish ourselves in the real estate industry: we don’t just build structures; we create living and work spaces that showcase the best of innovation and world-class design. We take “pride of place” and “pride of ownership” seriously—no matter where our developments are. We have been realizing dreams for close to three decades, and we look forward to fulfilling more of them in the coming years.

2. What are the other projects by Century Properties?
