Its first-class, highly urbanized city, General Santos, is the regional center for industry and commerce. Tourism is also a key economic activity in the locale, as its terrains offer spectacular panoramas and the prospect of incredible adventures. While General Santos exhibits steady progress, it also pays homage to tradition through arts, festivals, and food. GenSan, as it is affectionately called, counts its heritage and culture as keys to identity, worldview, and way of life.

In this city, Vista Land is building an extraordinary township and ready-for-occupancy (RFO) house-and-lot communities where Mindanaoan homebuyers and investors who have fallen in love with bewitching South Cotabato may find their place in the sun and aspire for a future they work so hard for.

There will be office spaces, side by side soothing open parks, landscaped walkways and avenues, and commercial centers.

General Santos City: Where bounty and beauty come together

Located along the coastline that hugs Sarangani Bay, General Santos City, the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, exudes a more progressive landscape. With an economy anchored primarily on agriculture and fishing industries, GenSan also covers much of the ground in tourism. The land, formerly known as Dadiangas, boasts the largest airport in Mindanao, as well as one of the country's modern international seaports, The Makar Wharf. 

The city also earned itself the nickname Boom City of the South, owing to its vast exports and the influx of manufacturing and business process outsourcing (BPO) firms. But despite the future-think reputation, GenSan is loved for its many festivals, like the much anticipated Kalilangan Festival, which parades pride in its art and traditions and some of the most stunning vistas in the country. 

Living high and living it up at Altafina

Vista Land is building a micro-city in honor of General Santos City through its collection of master planned developments known as Vista Estates. Inspired by the sun-soaked inclinations and outlook of San Diego, California, America's Finest City, the striking similarities between these dynamic metropolises lend themselves to a thriving integrated community in Southern Mindanao.

Altafina is a portmanteau of alta, Spanish for high, and fina, meaning fine, calling to mind images of living high and living it up. It exudes a delight and dauntlessness that the metropolis is designed to capture and offer its residents and visitors. The retail selections in Altafina will measure up to the reputation of GenSan as a top shopping hub—naturally, amazing food and beverage choices follow. Radiating the hip and groove of a San Diego beach town, its amenities are powered by smart-building technology while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Embracing the rich cultural diversity, spirited experiences, and abundant opportunities in San Diego and General Santos City, Altafina curates a range of architectural styles and well-planned public spaces. Office spaces will rise side by side serene, soothing parks, landscaped walkways, grand avenues, and modern commercial centers, fostering a balanced urban environment.

The residential configurations, on the other hand, include mid-rise condominium properties and neighborly house-and-lot communities. Its first condominium cluster, Altafina Residences, will offer vertical abodes to starting families, entrepreneurs, or young professionals who prefer to live near their places of work.  

Each building provides approximately 23 units per floor, with a selection of one- and two-bedroom residences. Seven to 12 storeys per condominium create medium layout density, allowing for privacy and breathing space. The buildings will be equipped with smart technology and security and safety features. At Altafina, the choices are as varied as the cultures of San Diego and General Santos City, now made even more rewarding with a limited-time PHP 100,000 gift certificate offer to help buyers and investors furnish their new homes.
