Project Review : Ground Breaking of Thunderbird Condotel at Thunderbird Resort, Poro Point, La Union

The Thunderbird Resort at Poro Point had the groundbreaking ceremony last April, 29, 2012 for the Thunderbird Condotel portion of the resort. This starts the construction of the 51-unit Thunderbird Condotel which is part of the resort expansion development. The condotel units  will be sold to private investors (Note: a lot of the units are already sold), but these investors can have the opportunity to enroll the units they purchased as part of the condotel rental program. In this program, their units will be rented out as part of the hotel rented accommodations. And in return, they will be earning income, while they are not using their units.
