The chill vibe of Baguio City had always been a welcome respite from the heat and hustle of urban living in the lowlands. With the rise of Bern by Brittany Corporation, Villar Group\u2019s luxury leisure and residential arm, that coveted Baguio feels will soon become an everyday reality in luxurious mountain living.<\/p>\n

As Brittany\u2019s inaugural development in Baguio, the four-tower Bern follows the footprint of the highly successful Crosswinds Tagaytay development, which draws inspiration from Swiss living and features beautiful themed neighborhoods nestled among towering pine trees.<\/p>\n

Rising from Outlook Drive, Bern\u2019s first tower, the eight-story Eiger, offers an unobstructed scenic view of the mountain range, rolling clouds, and endless skyline, coupled with amenities for mobility and wellbeing, and the relaxing ambience of a vacation home.<\/p>\n

Bern will ultimately comprise four towers and a future luxury hotel component, forming a distinctive residential and leisure destination in the Philippines\u2019 famed Summer Capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cBern is a true standout in our portfolio. With its strategic location, elegant design, and curated leisure spaces, Bern captures the essence of refined living. It is more than just a residential address; it is a destination where exclusivity, comfort, and lifestyle come together,\u201d said Eda Tambologan, Brittany group head.<\/p>\n

With Singapore-based Wow Architects onboard, the mid-rise condo development will distinctly carry a Swiss mountain lifestyle and architectural features showcasing Baguio\u2019s landscape through organic, pine-cone-inspired forms, flowing curves, and cantilevered balconies that maximize views, light, and mountain air.<\/p>\n

\u201cEiger is inspired by an organic pinecone form to create unparalleled interaction with Baguio\u2019s nature,\u201d explained Architect Gether Angelo Quintos, Brittany planning head. \u201cResidents will experience the cool breeze and scenic views from cantilevered balconies while surrounded by the scent of pine trees. The development maximizes mountain vistas, including views toward Mines View Park, while integrating sustainable features such as natural ventilation, rainwater harvesting, and the retention of existing pine trees.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Eiger tower will house four to eight rooms on each floor, with one- to two-bedroom units measuring 46 sqm to 101 sqm, all designed to maximize space, natural light, and ventilation amid the city\u2019s cool climate.<\/p>\n

To enhance residents\u2019 wellbeing, the amenity list includes rooftop fire-pit lounges and heated Jacuzzis with panoramic mountain views, a forest trail within a central garden that leads to the Coffee Project caf\u00e9 and a commercial area, as well as wellness-oriented shared spaces. In addition, the on-site restaurant will feature al fresco dining while enjoying the mountain breeze.<\/p>\n

Bern\u2019s prime location also makes top tourist spots accessible, such as Burnham Park, Mines View Park, and the BenCab Museum.<\/p>\n

Bern Division Head Joshua Cabungan<\/p>\n

At the Eiger’s commencement ceremony held on February 18,\u00a0Joshua Cabungan, division head for Bern, said that the event\u00a0signals more than the tower\u2019s construction. \u201cIt is the manifestation of a dream once imagined and now taking form\u2014a four-tower residential development that redefines mountain living through understated luxury and architectural harmony,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Cabungan also reported Eiger\u2019s sold-out status, reflecting the luxury market\u2019s warm reception to Brittany\u2019s fourth luxury development. \u201cOur clients are mostly from the Benguet province and, more recently, from Pampanga. From the international market, we have Japanese buyers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Prompted by the upbeat sales figures, Brittany executives had recently opened the pre-selling of the Bern Tower 2, Niesen. With wider dimensions, the second condo building will have 104 residential units, with one to two bedrooms ranging from 41.55 sqm to 83.10 sqm with balconies.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the second tower, we will be offering signature rooms on the top level, with sizes around 80 to 120 sqm. Its premium price will range from P50 million to 100 million,\u201d shared by Cabungan.<\/p>\n

Eiger is scheduled for completion in 2027, followed by Niesen in 2028. The third tower will be launched the following year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The chill vibe of Baguio City had always been a welcome respite from the heat and hustle of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[10],"tags":[14538,104,14537,5209,2683,4511,14539,1736,10489,28],"class_list":["post-22480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bern","tag-answers","tag-bern","tag-brittany","tag-by","tag-demand","tag-for","tag-living","tag-luxury","tag-mountain","tag-the"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
