There is a certain moment when you arrive in Baguio—when the air cools, the scent of pine lingers, and the city slows just enough for you to breathe differently. It is subtle, but unmistakable. It is this feeling that continues to draw people back, not just for weekends, but for something more lasting. In Baguio, luxury has never been about excess. It has always been about space, air, quiet—and above all, the view.
Property Report attended the commencement ceremony of Eiger, the first of four residential towers of Bern Baguio, Brittany’s newest highland enclave. The milestone comes with quiet certainty: the first tower is already sold out even before completion, while the second tower, launched just last October, is seeing strong take-up.
It signals a shift in how people see Baguio today. No longer just a place to visit, it has become a place to live more intentionally—a second home shaped by climate, landscape, and a different pace of life.
Set along Outlook Drive, one of the city’s most established residential addresses, Bern is shaped around what is becoming increasingly rare: expansive views of mountain terrain and pine forests. Here, the landscape is not a backdrop—it becomes part of everyday life.
“Bern captures the essence of refined living,” said Eda Tambologan, Brittany Group Head. “It is more than a residential address—it is a destination.”
At Bern, luxury is defined not by scale, but by perspective. Each residence opens to the outdoors, allowing changing light, moving clouds, and the quiet rhythm of the mountains to shape daily living.
This is why the development is intentionally low-rise and low-density. Rather than rising above the landscape, Bern follows it—preserving pine trees, maintaining open spaces, and allowing each home to breathe. The architecture, inspired by the pine cone, extends outward through cantilevered balconies, opening every space to the cool breeze and mountain views.
“This commencement ceremony for Eiger Tower is more than just the start of construction,” said Joshua Cabungan, Division Head for Bern. “It is the manifestation of a dream once imagined and now taking form—a four-tower residential development that redefines mountain living through understated luxury and architectural harmony.”
At the top of each tower, amenities are placed where they matter most—above the landscape. Sky lounges, jacuzzis, and viewing decks become vantage points, where residents experience Baguio from a perspective that is both elevated and deeply connected to nature.
“Most important is the view of the terrain,” added Ar. Gether Angelo Quintos, Brittany Planning Head, underscoring how every design decision was guided by the site itself.
For many buyers, this is precisely the point. According to Brittany, interest has been strong not only from Metro Manila, but from North Luzon and Baguio itself, with growing attention from international buyers seeking a second home defined by climate, privacy, and a slower pace of living.
Units are designed to support this shift—spaces that go beyond short stays, offering a sense of permanence within a leisure setting. In response, Brittany is exploring larger signature units, reflecting a market that is choosing to stay longer, not just visit.
In a city where the landscape has always shaped the way people live, Bern does not compete with Baguio. It simply frames it—reminding us that here, the view defines luxury.
