Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC) President and CEO Rico Laxa, along with the SHFC Board of Directors, recently inspected the Crystal Peak Estate in Brgy. Del Carmen, City of San Fernando, Pampanga. This major social housing project, once fully completed, will feature 10,308 units across 28 buildings—ranging from 4 to 12 stories high.
The SHFC is preparing to turn over the first phase of the project to members of the Jose Abad Santos Homeowners Association, Inc. (Cluster A). This phase includes four 12-story buildings with 977 residential condominium units and 19 commercial units, all ready for occupancy.
As the lead government agency for social housing programs, SHFC’s mission is to serve both formal and informal sectors in the low-income bracket by developing and managing affordable housing projects. Crystal Peak Estate is being developed and constructed by Kaerland Development Corporation.
Laxa highlighted that Crystal Peak Estate is one of the leading 4PH (Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino) projects initiated under the Marcos administration. The development spans 8 hectares and offers a township living style with a focus on affordability and convenience for its residents.
“The project aims to serve 10,308 member-beneficiaries, with its first cluster (Cluster A) comprising 996 units, including 977 residential and 19 commercial spaces. The first phase will feature four 12-story condominium buildings,” Laxa explained.
Units will be turned over with standard finishes, including tiled floors, painted walls and ceilings, and fully installed electrical and plumbing fixtures. Current amenities on-site include a clubhouse, basketball court, and swimming pool. Future developments will feature a mini market, tricycle terminal, and provisions for essential social services like a school, health center, and police station. Its strategic location near public institutions and commercial establishments makes it an even more appealing option for residents.
Prandy Vergara, the 4PH Officer-in-Charge for Central Luzon, shared that the site is easily accessible by land transportation through Jose Abad Santos Avenue National Road and nearby barangay roads, making commuting to and from the property straightforward. The housing project is also conveniently located near key establishments such as S&R Membership Shopping, St. Francis Village Phase 3, St. Francis Academy of Pampanga, Green City Medical Center, San Fernandino Hospital, Dolores Police Station, and several shopping centers, including Robinsons Starmills and SM Pampanga.
With its accessibility and comprehensive amenities, Crystal Peak Estate promises to be a vibrant, sustainable community for its future residents.
