From the Queen City to Durian City



Monterazzas de Cebu & Inside Cebu, a glimpse of Cebuano lifestyle in Davao.

Inspired to revive and preserve traditional Cebuano value, culture and heritage in the comforts of the modern day amenities, Genvi Development Corporation builds a premier community in the heart of the Queen City- Monterazzas de Cebu.

Monterazzas de Cebu will be an unparalleled and exclusive recluse, and the last and the largest contiguous mountain property in the heart of Cebu offering a superb panoramic view of the cities of Cebu and Mactan and the island of Bohol at 350 meters above sea level. Spread across a sprawling 200+-hectare property, clusters of high-end and well-appointed communities with residential, commercial and institutional components were launched and will reach completion in phases.




Augusto Villalon, Genvi President, considers Monterazzas de Cebu as the realization of the company’s vision for Cebuano living. “The development design ensures the residents they have access to stunning city or mountain views, a series of large and small green spaces that encourage close contact with nature and provide the right physical surrounding that enhance the Cebuano values of friendship and neighborliness.”

“We strive to maintain the traditional while simultaneously upgrading to global standards via the latest technology and design breakthroughs that are both people and environment-friendly,” he added.

Sharing this uniquely Cebuano lifestyle and design to the Dabawenyos, Genvi Development Corporation and Zee Magazine hosted a joint cocktail reception at the Oboza Heritage House in Davao City, and unveiled two of the Queen City’s most eminent products- the Monterazzas de Cebu and the coffee table book Inside Cebu.



President of Genvi, Architect Augusto Villalon, with company executives, Atty. Dindo Perez and Vice-President for Sales & Marketing Shella Laxa-Sarmiento, showcased Cebu’s rising upscale township of Monterazzas de Cebu, and Publisher Eva Gullas with Editor-at-Large Rosebud Sala of Zee Publication Inc. proudly revealed the pages of Inside Cebu, a compilation of Cebu’s best-designed home interiors.
