Verdana Homes a real community by yearend

Verdana Homes in Southern Metro Manila is setting new benchmarks in the real estate and construction industry. In less than two years since it was launched, it will be ready to deliver the nucleus of a solid community to its buyers. Over 240 properties will be turned over in June 2003 to buyers who purchased lots at Phase 1. By December 2003, the new 25-hectare development, which is just a 10-minute drive from Alabang Town Center, will turn over 50 units to buyers of house-and-lot packages. The park amenities and a 600-sqm. clubhouse will also be completed for the enjoyment of the first residents by year-end.

"By December, it will be a real community in every sense of the word," notes Jonathan Umali, head for project development of Community Innovations, Inc., the Ayala Land subsidiary that is developing the project. "By that time, the homeowners will have everything they need." These include a home built to their specifications, the central park and clubhouse, utilities, security, and just as important, new neighbors.

Community Innovation’s assurance to its buyers that they will be moving into a fully-functioning and complete community gains significance in the light of many complaints filed to government agencies against developers who have been unable to deliver their products on time and according to specifications promised.

Aside from the prompt delivery of homes and basic services, Community Innovations, Inc. has put together a team of support staff to ensure the smooth functioning of the community. The team to be supervised by Ayala Property Management Corp. (APMC) includes gardeners with green thumbs and maintenance managers who can supervise the upkeep of the village. APMC manages most Ayala developments including Ferndale Homes, the Ayala Center, One, Two and Three Salcedo Place condominiums, among others. Thus, when the first wave of residents move in, they will already be enjoying all the benefits of a vibrant community.

Within reasonable commuting distance of Metro Manila’s key business districts, Verdana Homes offers six options for those interested in house-and-lot packages. Floor areas range from 122 sqm. to 214 sqm. and prices go from P4.1 million to P6.8 million. Umali emphasizes that the design and architecture of each Verdana Homes unit considers the lifestyle needs of young families. "Our layout and structures allow for expansion as the family grows and its need for more space increases."

An added attraction of Verdana Homes house-and-lot units is that they are mostly located near the park, the focal point of the community.
