Is North Grove at Pristina Town in Cebu a Smart Investment in 2026?

I see a lot of projects every week, but North Grove is one of the few that genuinely stood out. Not because of flashy buildings, but because of the way the whole community is planned. It’s inside a future township in Talamban, and it feels like one of those places people will talk about years…

A coffee-talk guide from someone who sees Cebu real estate every day

Before we start (why you can trust this)

Quick context so you know where I’m coming from.

I’m Elddie John Benigay, a Cebu-based real estate professional and Unit Manager of Beautiful Properties under Filipino Homes. I’ve been in this business long enough to see what actually grows in value… and what just looks good on posters.

Everything I’m sharing here comes from:

  • site visits
  • developer briefings
  • buyer consultations
  • and real closing experience

This isn’t a sales page. It’s how I’d explain North Grove if we were sitting in a café.

So… where exactly is North Grove?

North Grove is inside Pristina Town – North in Barangay Talamban, Cebu City.

It’s a joint project of Cebu Landmasters Inc. and Ixidor Holdings (Aboitiz Group) — which already says a lot about how serious this development is.

Nearby:

  • USC Talamban
  • Gaisano Grand Talamban
  • North General Hospital
  • Talamban market

This area is part of Cebu’s north growth corridor, which is where prices quietly rise before people notice.

What is North Grove, really?

North Grove is a pre-selling condo inside a future township.

Turnover is around 2030.

What that means in real life is:

This isn’t just a place to sleep. It’s designed so that one day, you won’t need to leave the area just to live normally.

Think:

  • walkable streets
  • open malls
  • transport hubs
  • green spaces
  • and everything connected

If you ever said, “I wish I bought in IT Park or SRP before they exploded,” this is that same stage.

Let’s talk about the numbers (in simple terms)

Terra Tower (Studios only)

  • 22.75 sqm
  • ₱3,499,964
  • around ₱23,181/month amortization

Lumina Tower

  • Studio (24 sqm): ₱5,053,500 → ₱37,585/month
  • 1BR (32.51 sqm): ₱6,538,800 → ₱48,626/month

Reservation is ₱10,000

Equity downpayment is spread for 60 months:

  • Studio: ₱10,000/month
  • 1BR: ₱13,000/month

Bank financing only.

(And yes, prices can change. That’s real life.)

Why this project keeps catching my attention

When I walked the site and reviewed the masterplan, what stood out wasn’t the buildings — it was the thinking behind the whole place.

This is what’s coming:

A real township setup

  • transport hub
  • bike lanes
  • pedestrian streets
  • organized parking
  • security systems

Open lifestyle spaces

  • stand-alone open malls
  • event areas
  • residential villages
  • even schools in the future

Green and smart features

  • pocket parks
  • native trees
  • rainwater reuse
  • flood-mitigation ponds
  • underground cabling
  • 24/7 security systems

This is long-term planning. Not “sell fast, build fast.”

Amenities (for everyday living)

Lumina Tower

  • gym
  • game room
  • zen garden
  • sky garden
  • lounge deck
  • multi-purpose deck

Terra Tower

  • gym
  • pocket garden
  • multi-purpose deck

Parking is also available for purchase.

Who this is really for

I’ll be honest — this is not for someone who wants quick flipping or instant rental income.

This is for:

  • OFWs who want a stable long-term asset
  • first-time investors who want to start small
  • buyers who understand the value of entering early

If your goal is something that quietly grows while the area develops around it, this fits.

Current promo (as of now)

There’s a 2% downpayment option:

  • ₱100,000 discount
  • only 2% DP
  • remaining 8% spread for 59 months
  • as low as ₱6,200/month
  • ₱20,000 reservation

Why I personally recommend this

I’ve seen what happens when people enter townships early.

They don’t just make profits — they gain options.

What makes North Grove different is the partnership of CLI and Aboitiz.

That’s not marketing fluff — that’s long-term reliability.

If this were my first investment again, this is honestly one of the projects I’d study first.

Quick FAQs

Is this pre-selling?

Yes. Turnover is 2030.

Is this good for rental?

Long-term, yes — townships create demand.

Can OFWs buy?

Yes, through bank financing.
