Green amenities attract buyers to Manhattan

The undeniable strategic and central location of the Araneta Center has drawn hundreds of aspiring homeowners and investors to Manhattan Garden City. But recently, a new major consideration has drawn their attention: its green amenities.

“Megaworld and the Araneta Group envision a private park filled with a wide array of amenities for Manhattan Garden City residents. The pool for the active set is surrounded by verdant landscaping. Benches amidst greeneries are also provided for those who want to take it easy through reading and chatting. Trellises shield residents against the sun while walking to the next building, or to the train station. The green environment for them provides a refreshing breath of fresh air in the highly urbanized metro,” noted Megaworld Central Properties Inc. president Anthony Charlemagne Yu.

He added that most landscapes in the metro are perfectly manicured. These are noticeably artificial. The free-form planting arrangements at Manhattan Garden City, however, give residents a “natural feel while walking.” The mass tropical planting is expected to create a microenvironment, which will approach how plants thrive without human intervention. The lush foliage is also expected to cool the surroundings and filter pollutants out of the air.

That, in effect, is an attraction in itself: an assurance to buyers not just of the green aspect of the project, but the quality and sustainability of Manhattan Garden City and the entire Araneta Center, where it is located.
