He acknowledged the role of projects like Avia Estate in driving economic growth and elevating the town’s profile, both locally and regionally. For the residents of Alabel, this means greater opportunities and a brighter future.

Avia Estate: More Than a Township

At its core, Avia Estate is not just a real estate project—it’s a vision for the future of Alabel and the broader SOCCSKSARGEN region. As the first township project in the area, Avia Estate represents a bold step forward, combining residential, commercial, and recreational spaces in a master-planned community.

Developed by Alsons Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev), Avia Estate embodies the company’s commitment to creating spaces that enrich lives. With over 50 years of experience under its belt, Alsons Dev has brought the same attention to detail and quality to Avia Estate as it has to its other landmark projects.

One of the highlights within the township is Narra Park Residences, a residential community that blends modern living with Alabel’s natural charm. Spread across 13 hectares, Narra Park Residences offers open lots, bungalows, and two-story homes, all designed with an Asian Tropical aesthetic. The inclusion of green spaces and parks throughout the development ensures that residents can enjoy a balanced, serene lifestyle.

Building Buzz and Holiday Spirit

Paskuhan sa Avia isn’t just a celebration; it’s also a chance for the public to experience the vision behind Avia Estate firsthand. Events like this create buzz around the township while giving the community a taste of the lifestyle it aims to offer.

I have visited it recently and fell in love with it the moment I caught a first glimpse of it. We went to Tinaca Point, where the Philippine Navy Littoral Monitoring Station is located. There stands an old lighthouse and it showed us a great view of Celebes Sea, the coastline of Southern Sarangani, and of Balut Island in Davao Occidental. GETTING THERE From Poblacion Glan, we took a government vehicle to Barangay Batulaki, the last barangay of the Municipality of Glan.
