Net find: Queendom Tower

Another development a few hundred meters from the Albergo shown above
The developer is Korean. Notice the roof? Its similar to those flats in Pyongyang. The construction of the two buildings is halfway through.

Saint Louis University Liberal Arts Campus

Saint Louis University has started making roads for its expansion in a site far from the Baguio CBD. I have seen a rendering of the buildings and most of them are 8 to 10 floors high. The chapel looks very nice too. I just hope somebody who is in Baguio now would update us on this massive project.

Baguio is full of high rises.

Hope more of this will be built in Baguio.It is still far from being a real skyscraper city.

Fact: The first real skyscraper is the 10 storey Home Life Insurance building in Chicago built in 1887.

There is no real definition of a skyscraper actually. Here in SSC, we base it in Emporis where 12 stories is a high rise and at least 100m or 30 floors is a skyscraper. Cebu is yet to be a skyscraper city. Hoping for the best..

ganda ng baguio

so what are the sentiments of the residents regarding the rapid urbanization? does baguio have a lot of sprawling residential estates/villages too? or is the land limited hence the number of midrise condos?

pero nice ha! ganda ng baguio

Many are not positive about the rapid urbanization in Baguio. Baguio has lotsa problems too that usually accompany urban sprawl (crime, poor housing, deterioration). Space is becoming scarce and people would even build in cliffs,and along steep slopes. Mid rise residential buildings can be found in the city center. On its outskirts are sprawling subdivisions. Baguio still has a looong way to go before becoming a skyscraper city.
