A new mixed-use development called Bridgeport is bringing major changes to Samal Island, Davao City. Developed by Mindanao-based property developer Damosa Land, this 13-hectare project includes low-density condominiums, premium open lots, a condotel, commercial spaces, restaurants, and an exclusive marina, making it a key driver of tourism and the local economy.
Known for its white sand beaches and natural beauty, Samal Island welcomed over 230,000 visitors in 2024. It continues to be a top travel destination in Mindanao. With developments like Bridgeport, the island is also gaining attention as a new hotspot for real estate and investment.
“Samal has always been known for its natural beauty, and with Bridgeport, we are creating a community that complements the island’s character. The development embodies our vision of coastal living, where modern convenience meets the island’s serene landscapes, giving residents and visitors an authentic sense of belonging,” said Damosa Land President Ricardo Floirendo Lagdameo.
Island Living with Easy Access
Samal Island is located just minutes away from Davao City, making Bridgeport very accessible to tourists and investors. The island’s location is less prone to typhoons, making it a safer choice for property buyers.
Bridgeport is designed to connect people to both nature and modern conveniences. Units are priced at around ₱200,000 per square meter, offering strong investment potential in a growing tourism and real estate market.
Bridgeport’s development is also helping create jobs in construction, hospitality, and real estate. With 273 condo units, 22 premium lots, a commercial zone, and an exclusive marina, it’s providing new opportunities for local workers and entrepreneurs.
It also includes 1.3 hectares of open space, a 5,000 sqm forest park, and scenic walking trails—ideal for families, retirees, or anyone seeking a peaceful lifestyle close to nature.
A Future Built on Paradise
Bridgeport is more than a real estate project, it’s helping transform Samal into a lifestyle destination. With world-class amenities, cultural richness, natural beauty, and strong economic growth, the island offers something for everyone.
“Samal Island stands as a cornerstone of tourism and sustainable development in the region. As exemplified in developments like Bridgeport, we recognize Samal’s potential and remain steadfast in fostering economic growth, all while preserving the island’s natural allure,” said Lagdameo.
From families looking for a peaceful home to investors seeking high returns, Bridgeport shows how sustainable development can benefit both the community and the economy. Jenniffer B. Austria
