When I was very young, I lived in the heart of Davao City. That time the heart of Davao City is C.M. Recto Street, popularly known as Claveria. This is where almost business establishments in Davao City were situated. Popular grocery store was Datu Complex(Bolton St.); refreshment center - Merco (Bolton); almost all theaters were located in Claveria. Bolton St. is just within the vicinity of Claveria. Of course, there’s San Pedro Cathedral and the City Hall, located in San Pedro and just near Claveria too

In the early 90’s, J.P. Laurel Ave. (known as Bajada) stole the limelight at the rise of Victoria Plaza and then later the Gaisano Mall of Davao. There also stood several hotels and inns and the Pryce Tower and Landco. These business establishments sprawled in Bajada, thus making it popular to investors.

As more and more businesses are opened here in the city, another part of Davao City is rising to become Davao’s next business center. I am talking about Damosa Gateway, located in Lanang, Davao City.

Just a five minute drive from the airport, Damosa Gateway features almost all the things one needs. There’s the Market Basket, a one-stop supermarket. There’s this wide array of food stations. There’s a gym for health conscious individuals, a wi-fi station (Coffee Dream), spa centers and even stores that sells souvenir items.

The construction of Microtel, a small hotel, is going but it is almost finished and  I could almost feel its elegance.

If you happen to think about of putting a business here in Davao, then Damosa Gateway is surely one of the best locations here.
