>> Friday, November 11, 2022
BAGUIO CITY -- The city
government is eying the purchase of a 1.4-hectare property in Pinsao Proper for
the housing needs of City Hall employees.
City Planning and Development Officer architect Donna R. Tabangin stated that the city government needs around P45 million to purchase this property from the land owner to jumpstart the implementation of the housing project for City Hall employees.
However, she claimed that the housing project will not only be for City Hall employees but also for the open market for other individuals who could afford the low and medium rise condominium-type housing.
Aside from the P45 million needed for the purchase of the said property, the city planning and development officer disclosed that the city government also needs another P63 million to purchase the adjacent property to be used as an access road leading to the housing project.
Under the proposed housing for City Hall employees, some 13 low- to medium-rise condominium-type buildings will be constructed within the property which will provide a significant number of housing units for the interested recipients.
Tabangin said that the City Planning and Development Office (CPDO) will conduct a survey among City Hall employees on who are interested to avail of the housing units before these will be opened to other interested recipients outside the city government.
She said the city needs around P254 million for the construction of the low to medium-rise condominium-type buildings in this property aside from the P110 million required for the site development.
The housing units will be offered to qualified City Hall employees under a proposed 20-year payment period depending on the capacity of owners to pay the housing loan that will be coursed through the housing agencies.
Earlier, the city government called on land owners inside and outside the city to offer their properties for the city’s land banking that includes potential sites for housing projects for government workers, among others.
Tabangin said considering enormous amount required for the realization of the housing project for government workers, the local government will try to refer the matter to the Dept. of Human Settlement and Urban Development (DHSUD) for funding support.
Aside from the housing for government workers, the city government is also implementing the socialized housing project for qualified residents in barangay Irisan under the Luna Terraces Permaculture project which started the site development last year. -- Dexter A. See
