Tower 2 of ‘The Columns’ launched

Community Innovations Inc. (CII), a subsidiary of Ayala Land Inc., launched last week the sales blitz for Tower 2 of The Columns, Ayala Avenue, after achieving a 93-percent sales take-up rate for Tower 1 in a span of less than four months.

At a gathering of buyers and friends last week at the Shangri-La Makati, CII president Angela de Villa-Lacson and her team conveyed the theme of The Columns as an epicenter of "The Good Life."

With The Columns, Ayala Avenue, rising on the corner of Ayala and Sen. Gil Puyat Avenues, the dream lifestyle of a serene getaway residence located in the center of the business district has been brought within reach. The Columns gracefully fills the need for an affordable, quality residential development for young urban achievers who work in the Makati central business district.

Lacson attributed the sales success of the project to the compound reasons of design, quality, affordability, location, as well as the Ayala Land tradition of excellence and customer satisfaction.

Each tower of the 3-towered The Columns has a total of 284 residential units. The Columns’ soft-launch for the project was done on Nov. 23 last year with the blessing of the model units on the third level of Glorietta 3 Mall.

Sales rocketed as its primary market of young urban achievers was informed of The Columns’ quality features and unparalleled amenities offered under an affordable pricing scheme.

Tower 2 duplicates the alluring aspects of Tower 1, offering 23 floors of bright, airy residential spaces designed especially with health and nature in mind.

Each of the 23 storeys that host the residential units, open up its corridors to the light of the sun. Windows in every room ensure optimum natural light, and when opened, allow soothing tropical breeze to air the rooms.

Beneath the towers, the seventh storey podium houses community amenities unequalled in value. On the open-air seventh storey is the Recreational Club, a veritable "garden in the sky" which offers resort-style attractions amid sweeping views, with a large resort pool, a kiddie pool, a long jogging path, indoor and outdoor function spaces, fully-equipped gym, business center, daycare center, and a game room.

On the ground floor, landscaped gardens surround open-air cafes, restaurants, and bars.

Three private, exclusive lobbies welcome residents with 24 staff and security. Staff and management services will be provided by the Ayala Property Management Corp.

As with Tower 1, Tower 2 will offer studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, perfect for singles, married couples, and young families.

With the launch of Tower 2, the CII’s goal of bringing "the good life" into the heart of the city comes closer to fulfillment.
