The City of Bacolod has long been celebrated for its charm, culture, and quality of life. In recent years, however, the landscape has shifted—quietly but decisively—toward economic growth and infrastructure-driven transformation. This progress has made Bacolod a hub for strategic investment, attracting businesses, families, and visionaries alike. Among the developments rising in step with this change is Saludad by PHINMA Properties, a township that aligns seamlessly with Bacolod’s forward-moving ambitions.

Nestled between the Bacolod-Silay Airport and the city’s bustling heart, PHINMA Saludad is positioning itself as Bacolod’s next business district, with an extension of the city’s warmth and progress. Here, tree-lined roads meet open parks, and everyday life flows alongside opportunity. What’s rising is not just another address, but a modern hub where business, culture, and connection come together—reflecting Bacolod’s journey toward a vibrant, future-ready community.

At the Heart of Bacolod’s Economic Momentum

Saludad’s location is no accident. Sitting along the Bacolod-Silay Airport Access Road, the township enjoys a front-row seat to Bacolod’s infrastructure development—especially with large-scale projects like the Bacolod-Negros Occidental Economic Highway (BANOCEH) and the upcoming Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridge, strengthening mobility and logistics across the region.

These infrastructure networks not only boost regional connectivity but also unlock real estate potential. Saludad’s location near these major arteries means residents and businesses benefit from reduced travel time, increased accessibility, and more economic activity. For investors, this creates a practical advantage, placing commercial assets within arm’s reach of tourism, trade, and local population centers. Bacolod’s urban planning places great importance on dispersing growth evenly, and Saludad’s placement ensures it is part of that balanced expansion.

Here’s what Saludad is surrounded by:

  • Proximity to Bacolod-Silay International Airport
  • Immediate access to major growth corridors like BANOCEH
  • Near future developments like the Panay-Guimaras-Negros Bridge
  • Connectivity to the city’s central business zones

For investors and future residents, this translates to a daily lifestyle that values both time and efficiency—with access to where it matters most.

The Next Commercial Hub in Bacolod

Unlike business parks that emerge on the fringes of city planning, Saludad is part of Bacolod’s growth blueprint. It complements existing urban zones while also extending them, introducing a more holistic model for township living and enterprise. With only 21 commercial lots available, this limited supply is matched with a high potential for appreciation, thus making it a strategic investment in the city of Bacolod.

These lots are ideal for businesses with a long-term view. Whether it’s medical offices, BPOs, dining hubs, or local SMEs, the township presents a high-potential setting. PHINMA Saludad’s main thoroughfare guarantees visibility and accessibility—two non-negotiables for sustainable enterprise growth. Business owners can build within a community already supported by transport infrastructure, residential zones, and future academic and hospitality developments, creating a complete live-work ecosystem.

Key benefits of establishing a business here:

  • Limited, high-value commercial lot inventory
  • Built-in customer base from residential zones
  • Stable ecosystem supported by the PHINMA Group
  • Walking distance to lifestyle zones, green parks, and future hotel/educational partners

In short, it’s a place where businesses can grow organically within a thriving community framework.

A Development That Reflects the City’s Aspirations

The appeal of Saludad Bacolod is not just in its prime location, but in how it reflects the city’s changing face. Bacolod is no longer just the land of festivals and food—it’s now a city preparing for the demands of the next generation.

As infrastructure evolves, so does the city’s identity. The rise of the new government center Bacolod, combined with the city’s educational and business-friendly initiatives, showcases a Bacolod that is inclusive, forward-looking, and rooted in sustainable urbanism. Saludad mirrors this vision through open spaces, green walkways, and amenities that support both quality of life and productive enterprise. Its design, crafted by Royal Pineda+ Architecture, resonates with a Bacolod that embraces both nature and innovation.

It also embodies:

  • Practical luxury, blending elegant design with cost efficiency
  • Environmental consideration, through sustainable planning and materials
  • Cultural continuity, respecting Bacolod’s roots while embracing progress

Together, these create a setting that is deeply aligned with the city’s direction, offering more than function—a genuine sense of place.

Investor Confidence in a Dynamic Market

From a real estate investment perspective, timing and context are everything. Bacolod Real Estate has seen steady interest over the last few years, especially among overseas investors and returning professionals. But with the city expanding its infrastructure and economic base, demand is expected to grow even more sharply.

The data points to increasing migration, a rising middle class, and more Bacolodnons looking to establish both family homes and businesses. For investors, Saludad offers a rare opportunity to get in early on a multi-year growth trajectory. With PHINMA’s decades-long commitment to nation-building, Saludad becomes a partnership in Bacolod’s progress. Through its complete community approach, PHINMA fosters a township where families, entrepreneurs, and institutions can grow together.

Saludad also offers:

  • Clear ownership structures backed by a major national developer
  • Flexible payment schemes for commercial lots
  • Community-centric development that increases land value
  • A vision aligned with national growth goals and regional prosperity

It is a chance to build where growth is already underway—not just anticipated.

Designed for Local Enterprise and Global Outlook

In many ways, Saludad by PHINMA Properties serves as a conduit between Bacolod’s heritage and its ambitions. The township’s design, spearheaded by Royal Pineda+ Architecture, acknowledges the city’s natural surroundings while integrating modern Filipino sensibilities.

The business district’s layout, wide road networks, and pedestrian-friendly zones are conducive to modern retail formats, wellness hubs, tech-enabled workspaces, and lifestyle centers. This thoughtful planning makes Saludad attractive not just to local Bacolod businesses but also to national and regional brands seeking authentic, human-scale commercial footprints. It positions Saludad as a magnet for entrepreneurs who want both aesthetics and efficiency.

In particular, the design enables:

  • Seamless integration of retail and office zones
  • Efficient traffic circulation for both pedestrians and vehicles
  • Green infrastructure including tree-lined avenues and parks
  • Inviting spaces for events, pop-ups, and community activation

These elements make it ideal for businesses that want to operate in a place that is both functional and future-ready.

Anchored in Accessibility, Connectivity, and Community

Being minutes away from Bacolod-Silay Airport, near the new government center Bacolod, and located along major transit routes gives Saludad a critical edge in Bacolod’s investment landscape.

Beyond physical proximity, Saludad is connected to the city’s pulse. The township draws inspiration from the three iconic mountains—Kanlaon, Mandalagan, and Silay—which form the visual and conceptual backdrop for the development. This orientation doesn’t just offer aesthetic value; it builds cultural and geographic resonance into the master plan. It brings together openness, design intention, and regional pride—elements that shape community attachment and long-term desirability.

Residents, visitors, and business owners alike benefit from:

  • A strong sense of visual identity and orientation
  • Spaces that encourage interaction and walkability
  • Close ties to city services, schools, and future institutional hubs
  • A growing number of routes and linkages for business expansion

It is infrastructure with intention—planned with both access and experience in mind.
