Sola at Pico De Loro Cove brings everything you love together
Many of us have spent our lives hurrying to and fro. Quality time feels like a blur. But when a pandemic marooned everyone at home—where jobs and classes are reduced to online interactions—it dawned on people how important the welfare of the family is and how essential residences and their location are. Cramped apartments, claustrophobic condos or houses in subdivisions which are becoming denser and denser could be taxing in what we call the new abnormal.
