the province, Buildex 2012 was organized to put Bulacan in the map in terms of
property development.

the BCCI said that the province’s strategic location made it one of the premier
areas north in Manila for investors.

many years, Bulacan was only seen as a place to invest in manufacturing and
warehousing.

property and construction industry sectors in the province of Bulacan,
ultimately, it wants to promote Bulacan as the ideal place to live in,”Luna
said.

Luna said that there will also be free consultations on design, financing, and
property documentation and processing for prospective property owners.
“To those who’ll come and
visit they will be able to witness the original art pieces of Bulacan artists,
who will conduct free sketching on the exhibit site. Raffle prizes also await
patrons and visitors during the 3-day fair, they can also learn from the
masters in property development trends and product standards in the speakership
series,” she added.
