True to its name, La Sonrisa, which means “smile,” the development is designed to bring joy and fulfillment to its residents.
It offers not only modern homes for the people of Bacolod and Talisay but also a worthy investment for overseas Filipinos who wish to come home to a community built on happiness.

Suntrust strives to reinforce its promise to make the dreams of every Negrense a reality, one home at a time,” Jerry R. Rubis, Suntrust First Vice President for Sales and Marketing said.
A company expansion with purpose, Suntrust ensures that Filipinos not only receive a place to live in but also a community where they can truly thrive.
“Suntrust firmly believes in the rising economic opportunities across Negros and the greater Visayas,” says Atty. Harrison M. Paltongan, President of Suntrust Properties.
“Through the development of well-planned residences in strategic locations, Suntrust shows its support to the region’s progress and the aspirations of every Filipino families’ homeownership dreams into reality,” he added.
Talisay City offers the perfect location for this community, with its rich history, vibrant culture, and eco-friendly environment.
“Of course, since we saw that Talisay is environment friendly, we want to preserve that clean environment. In fact, we named our bigger portions of our project as Parke Verde or Green Park and we intend to put vegetation, land scape, open spaces in order to make our buyers happier,” Paltongan said.
With La Sonrisa, Suntrust Properties invites Negrenses and fellow Filipinos to experience a life of comfort and class, executive-style living at a price every family can afford.
