URBAN HIVE PALMS: Davao’s Green Condominium breaks ground

With Davao City growing exponentially, we expect influx of working professionals coming in from all over the region, expatriates, tourists both local and international. And along with the rising number of local population, this scenario will soon instigate traffic build-up going to and fro of workplaces and a high demand for decent accommodation and housing.

Recognizing this situation, construction company Datem Inc. through its development subsidiary, Eco Dwellings, Inc. has broken ground on April 28 its first residential condominium project in Davao called - URBAN HIVE PALMS as a response to this demand. No less than Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte led the groundbreaking ceremony at the project site, Amazon St., Bacaca Road here in the city.

Urban Hive Palms is a 2.8-hectare development that will be composed of seven, low-rise six-story buildings. The complex will produce 852 units, all complete with a state-of-the-art amenities like, functions rooms, basketball court, adult and kiddie pools, fully equipped fitness gym, basketball court, strolling and jogging path around the complex.

Engr. Arnulfo De Asis, Datem, Inc. President has briefed us that URBAN HIVE PALMS being a green building has conformed and has been certified by US Green Building Council to follow strict environmental standards. The complex will have its own water treatment and rainwater harvesting facility. The rainwater collected will then be used to water plants and greenery around the complex. The project also boasts a unique architectural feature that highlights a hive-like enclosure, hence the name, Urban Hive. Said feature does not only make the building aesthetically pleasing, it also serve as a protection against direct sun and rain.
