Joseph So Jr., President and CEO of Cebu Seven Fields Realty, expressed the vision behind True Vine Columbary Garden, aiming to create a haven where individuals can celebrate life and cherished memories in the tranquility of a serene environment.
Located just a 10-minute-drive from the SM Seaside City Cebu at the South Road Properties, the 15,000 sq.m. columbary garden will soon be transformed into a beautiful park and columbary. The first phase will make available 2,600 vaults, according to So. They plan to start the second phase by the first quarter of 2024. The entire development will be completed in three years, So said.
Diverging from conventional columbaria in Cebu featuring vaults within buildings, True Vine sets itself apart by locating vaults outdoors amidst a beautifully landscaped garden adorned with diverse tree species such as the Fire Tree, Palawan Tree Blossom, Yellow Copperpod Tree, and Jacaranda, among others.
Its offerings include Memorial Trees, dedicated pet memorials, an ossuary, a Chapel of Prayers, a Wall of Remembrances, Pocket Parks, a spacious parking area, commercial spaces, and a distinctive entrance and drop-off area.
A unique aspect of commemorating departed family members is the innovative concept of
Memorial Trees, transforming each into a "family tree" for deceased loved ones. Priced at P1 million each, Memorial Trees serve as living and breathing tribute to cherished memories. Each memorial tree comes with three vaults in a pedestal and can hold up to 12 urns. This distinctive feature positions True Vine as a highly sought-after investment.
The Chapel of Prayers/Templo Jerusalem provides a space for reflection, while the Wall of Remembrances allows families to commemorate departed loved ones through personalized dedications.
True Vine will allocate areas for pet lovers who want to honor their cats and dogs. The
columbary will also feature pocket parks, and serene green spaces for relaxation and connection with nature.
Its strategic location in Cebu City ensures accessibility, presenting a unique investment
opportunity with value appreciation, flexible installment options, and a focus on creating
enduring legacies.
Beyond its visual appeal, the project provides attractive investment potential and is positioned to attract a younger market. Cremation, a pragmatic and thoughtful choice, not only offers an elegant farewell but also allows the bereaved to focus on celebrating the life of their loved one.
Alan Ballesteros, True Vine’s business consultant, underscores the investment merit of acquiring True Vine vaults, especially with the projected 20 percent annual appreciation in the product’s real estate value. He notes that real estate properties in surrounding areas are valued between P40,000 to P50,000 per square meter.
Ballesteros mentions a growing interest in volume purchases, particularly with the 10 percent discount for early buyers, ensuring an initial return on investment.
Accessible monthly installment options cater to a wide audience, with modular investment
providing flexibility based on individual preferences. It also facilitates ease of liquidation during financial necessities and enables the transfer of rights to designated beneficiaries.
The vaults, crafted from natural stone, symbolize durability and beauty, with families having a choice of various elegant urn styles.
