Hunting for one’s first home RLC’s Gateway Regency

Manila Bulletin
February 26, 2010

The hunt for one’s first house is usually done with limited funds, fancy footwork and burning desire. An eminent antique dealer once said that he buys something only if it sings to him. And like that antique piece, the perfect home calls out to a person like a seductive siren.

Each potential homeowner is looking for magic, that special song that will say a house was built for him or her. Sadly, not every perfect house is within the budget of those who are just starting to acquire property that, they feel, will complete their lives.

Robinsons Land Corporation’s Gateway Regency is the smart choice for the urban house hunter who is in search for quality living in the city at an affordable price that is well within reach of small families and young professionals.

For a monthly amortization that’s even smaller than the rental of a one-bedroom condo unit, you get to own a home at one of Metro Manila’s best locations, easy access to major transportation hubs and commercial centers and 24/7 security.

For P11,300 a month, the 33-story residential project allows young couples and professionals still living with their families the chance to be independent without having to live outside Metro Manila in locations that are not yet fully urbanized, thus raising issues of accessibility, safety and security.

Gateway Regency, RLC’s fourth residential project in Robinsons Pioneer Cybergate Complex at the corner of Edsa and Pioneer Street in Mandaluyong City, has a geographically desirable location, being very near Edsa’s “middle zone.” Thus, the cities of Quezon and Makati are accessible by short drives or commutes via the MRT while Ortigas Center is a few minutes away.

The project is located within a master-planned community that includes office buildings housing business process outsourcing and call center offices; Forum Robinsons, which has commercial establishments such as a supermarket, department stores, hardware and other retail stores; and other residential towers. These definitely up the convenience factor of living there.

Buying a unit is an excellent option considering that the homeowner will enjoy amenities and features that typify condo living. These include a lobby with a reception desk to screen and receive visitors and swimming pools for children and adults. There are also landscaped gardens and walking paths and barbeque pits where residents can enjoy cookouts and meals with families and friends.

Studio units come in 28.90 sqm, one-bedroom units start from 31.40 sqm, while two-bedroom units come in 53.40 sqm.

Perhaps for many potential Gateway Regency homeowners, this will only be the first of many houses they will own in their lifetimes. Eventually, they may move on to accommodations that will suit their new circumstances. But they will definitely never forget the first house that sang out to them.

Robinsons Land presents new lifestyle option

Manila Bulletin
February 17,2010

Real estate developer Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC), under its Robinsons Communities brand, has an exciting new lifestyle proposition for those planning to establish a residence in the south without being far from the vibrant modern hubs of the metropolis.

This is Escalades South Metro, a new version of RLC’s successful Escalades at 20th Avenue in Cubao, Quezon City. Located near the Sucat Interchange, Sucat PNR Station and Makro Sucat, this new mid-rise condominium development takes all the excellent ideas that have made Escalades at 20th Avenue one of the RLC’s best selling residential properties.

“We are excited to provide another excellent residential proposition for those looking to establish residence within Metro Manila while enjoying the benefits of living in a resort-like community,” said Christopher Narciso, VP Business Development of Robinsons Communities.

Situated on an elevated 2.2-hectare property that is flood-free and just a short drive from AlabangMuntinlupa City, BF Homes, Makati City, Bonifacio Global City and Ayala Alabang, this new community of RLC is comprised of mid-rise residential buildings in a modern Asian-contemporary aesthetic. The community opens up to beautifully landscaped gardens, a winding jogging path, gazebos, activity lawn, and a meditative pond – features that will provide future residents with a refreshing sense of being away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis without actually leaving the city. Robinsons Communities is leaving 75 percent of the property open to deepen the sense of resort living.

With unit prices ranging from P1.1 million to P2.4 million, the affordable prices are matched by RLC’s easy payment options. Escalades South Metro offers cuts at 20 sqm, 27 sqm and 45 sqm, all of which will be turned over in a ready-to-receive finish that provides homeowners savings and the freedom to fashion their own personal spaces.

The project also features the niceties that one expects from a condominium lifestyle. These are a clubhouse, lap pool, kiddie pool, barbecue pits, entrance lobby with reception counter, emergency speaker on all floors, standby power generator for common areas, central garbage room, water cistern, and automatic smoke detectors, sprinkler system and fire alarm.

All the comforts of home

Philippine Star
February 12,2010

MANILA, Philippines - For many of us Filipinos, owning a house represents the fulfilment of a long held dream. It represents years of hard work, blood, sweat and tears. Perhaps this is why, a lot of homeowners prefer starting with a clean slate, designing and furnishing their dwellings in the manner they prefer, and imbuing it with their personal style and taste.

As such, ready-for-occupancy (RFO) housing presents a drawback that a lot of us would think twice availing of. And with good reason.

While it cannot be denied that RFO housing does save one the trouble of setting up an abode, a house already designed is very often more expensive than one that is sparsely furnished. Such a residence would likely seem largely impersonal what with the absence of the charming little flourishes that changes a place from a residence into a home. Ready-for-occupancy housing saves a homeowner time and energy to, say, find curtains to go with that bay window, but how high are the chances that you would appreciate the ones that already came with house at all? Chances are, you would be driven to replace the furniture with your own personal pieces, defeating the purpose of moving into an RFO house in the first place.

For the meticulous homeowner who wants the convenience of an RFO unit without giving up too many concessions, Robinsons Land Corporation offers a happy compromise: Woodsville Mansions.

Warmth of home and hearth

Woodsville Mansions is for the homeowner who wants to have her cake and eat it.

Located in the bustling metropolis of Paranaque City, near Merville, Woodsville Mansions is a gated neighborhood included in the Robinsons Communities portfolio. With 70% of the property devoted to sprawling greenery, it is designed to complement its lush surroundings, allowing homeowners a chance to revel in Nature while assuring them the convenience of having modern necessities and transportation close to hand.

(For more details/inquiries about the “New Supereasy Ownership Plan” and the optional appliance package, contact 397-0101/ 0922-8380888. The offer stands for Woodsville Mansions’ 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units. Other properties included in RLC’s Lease-to-Own, Ready-for-Occupancy program are Gateway Garden Ridge, One Gateway Place, Gateway Garden Heights; and Fifth Avenue Place.)

With seven themed gardens to choose from (whether it’s the liberating Oasis or the idyllic Nirvana Cove, the rejuvenating Nature’s Orchestra, or the soothing Poet’s Nook), there’s bound to be a little corner of Woodsville Mansions suited to the homeowner’s personal needs.

It even has its very own Village Mall, which houses a Robinsons Supermarket, a drugstore, a clinic and a salon.

It’s personal

As part of its commitment to deliver a truly enjoyable residential experience, RLC promises to provide potential homeowners with all the amenities of home, without the hassle entailed in moving in.

Woodsville Mansions is the one of the finest and most affordable properties offered by RLC through its Supereasy Ownership Plan, the latest innovation on RLC’s Lease-to-Own program.

Under this lease-to-own plan, homeowners can move into a stylish two-bedroom unit for as low as P34,407 a month and slip right into a home they can call their own that is both comforting and fashionable without much fuss or difficulty.

Homeowners need only to fulfil the requirements and pay a 3% downpayment (the lowest cash out in the market today) to immediately move in and enjoy their new home.

Leveling up

In Woodsville Mansions, RLC pioneers the personal and personable approach to ready-for-occupancy housing by making sure your home suits you from the ceiling to the floor, from the awnings to the fixtures, and from the drapes to the sofas.

Homeowners who opt to buy the property instead of availing of the lease-to-own program may pay a 20% downpayment over a period of 24 months. For them, there is the added perk of top-of-the-line appliances like 1.5 HP air conditioners, 32-inch flat screen LCD TVs, washing machines and oven ranges. These appliances are included in a comprehensive plan that they can avail of.

With the upgrade to RLC’s Supereasy Ownership Plan, one can move in with literally just the clothes on one’s back. Owning a home can’t get any easier than that.

A grand view from the top

MANILA, Philippines - You have worked long and hard and have arrived at a point in your career where you can enjoy the pleasures that life proffers, be they big or small. And enjoy them you must—if for no other reason than that these rewards give meaning to all the hard work that you have put in to be at the top of your game.

Robinsons Land Corp., one of the country’s premier real estate developers, has a superb proposition for such men and women who have good reason to reward themselves, especially in ways that reflect not just their present achievements but the lofty dreams that they continue to hold on to and nurture. That proposition is The Trion Towers.

Now rising in ultra-modern Bonifacio Global City, The Trion Towers represents the ultimate in luxury condo living, as everything about it—from concept to design to execution and down to the small details in finish—is done with a philosophy that mirrors the sense of accomplishment its residents have arrived at, this beginning with the tri-axial design of its three towers that is unlike anything else in the market.

“What The Trion Towers’ tri-axial design accomplishes is that it provides residents an expansive view whichever floor their unit may be situated on the 49-storey tower. You can be on the penthouse floor or you may have chosen to situate yourself somewhere in the middle part of the tower, and you will still enjoy a sweeping vista of the various parts of Bonifacio Global City in particular and the sprawling metropolis in general, including scenic Laguna de Bay, the vibrant Ortigas skyline, or poetic Manila Bay with its world-famous sunset. It’s a priceless feature that befits the highly accomplished market we have in mind for The Trion Towers,” says Robinsons Land senior vice president for sales and marketing Raoul E. Littaua.

Besides expansive views, however, another unique quality of The Trion Towers’ tri-axial design is the Tri-Axial Fresh Flow System (TFFS), which allows natural light and natural ventilation are able to circulate freely within the units and the common areas.

The unit cuts are comprised of one-bedroom flat units (ranging from 37.62 to 55.30 sqm), two-bedroom flat units (57.47 to 61.83 sqm), and three-bedroom flat units (101.11 to 123.02 sqm), all with high ceilings and picture windows to leverage the nurturing sunlight and the soothing wind that flow freely in Bonifacio Global City.

The units themselves live up to the proposition of living well, as Robinsons Land is leaving no detail unattended.
