A Culture of Nature: Parkville by SMDC
• 4 min. read
Bacolod, a city rich in history and charm, now welcomes a landmark residential enclave that marries its storied past with a vision for the future. Parkville by SMDC is more than a place to call home—it is an ode to nature, a sanctuary of green spaces, and a community that invites life to unfold in its most vibrant form.
A Legacy Reimagined
At the heart of Parkville lies a deep reverence for Bacolod’s heritage. The iconic Sta. Fe Resort, once a beloved retreat where families gathered and traditions thrived, has been beautifully woven into the fabric of this modern development. Here, echoes of the past resonate in tree-lined avenues and serene landscapes, ensuring that nostalgia and innovation walk hand in hand.
A Landscape of Possibilities
Spanning 52 hectares, Parkville is a masterwork of thoughtful planning. The first horizontal project of SMDC in the Visayas, this exclusive lots-only community offers homeowners and investors the opportunity to balance nature and contemporary living. The average cut lot is 120 sqm, offering ample space for residents to create their own vision of home.
The journey into Parkville begins at a striking grand entrance—an architectural statement that embodies the spirit of modern Bacolod living. From the stately drop-off point, residents are ushered into the heart of the leisure club, where contemporary elegance and timeless comfort converge. Just beyond, expansive open spaces unfold, thoughtfully designed to serve as vibrant gathering places for families and guests. Every detail reflects Parkville’s commitment to creating not just breathtaking spaces, but a serene environment where life’s most extraordinary moments naturally take root.
A living palette that shifts with the seasons, Colors Park celebrates the vibrant artistry of nature in full bloom.
Strategically located along Burgos Avenue which is only around seven kilometers away from the SM City Complex, and with easy access to the Bacolod Economic Highway, Parkville connects the East and North areas of Negros. It is also ideally situated near key facilities including hospitals, schools, the Bacolod-Silay Airport, and Bacolod Seaport Terminal, providing the perfect equilibrium between convenience and connectivity.
