Robinsons Land: Making your dreams come true right now

MANILA, Philippines - Home versus work, accessibility versus travel time, cramped urban boxes versus spacious but long-distance suburbs...sometimes the search for the ideal home seems like an endless series of trade-offs. You can’t have one thing without giving up the other.

Now picture yourself waking up in a pocket of paradise, surrounded by shady trees, fragrant flowers, and air so fresh you can almost taste its sweetness. All it needs is a babbling brook to convince yourself you’re in Eden. Imagine waking up to that pocket of paradise every morning before heading off to work, a short commute away, without the hassle of traffic or extended travel time.

It’s like having your cake and eating it.

This is what Robinsons Land Corporation has to offer.

With residential areas featuring Ready for Occupancy (RFO) homes in Paranaque and Mandaluyong City, RLC ushers in a lifestyle suitable for city dwellers and suburban walkers seeking sanctuary amidst the hubbub of a busy metropolis.

Gateway Garden Ridge

Situated in the heart of the bustling Mandaluyong area, Gateway Garden Ridge is perfect for those who call the city “home”. Busy young executives looking to cut down on travel time would find the commute from transportation hubs like Edsa MRT short and stress-free, while young families wanting to spend quality bonding time may find a selection of shops and restaurants at nearby Robinsons Place Pioneer Mall.

Residents don’t even have to go very far for recreational outlets as this gated community offers numerous amenities like children’s pools and playgrounds, fitness centers and small garden pockets for those who want to commune with Nature.

Gateway Garden Ridge is located within the Cybergate complex, along with other RFO properties of Robinsons Land including Gateway Garden Heights, and One Gateway Place.

Woodsville Mansions

Just 10 minutes away from the NAIA airport and urban centers of Makati City, Fort Bonifacio and Alabang, Robinsons Land Corporation updates the idea of suburban living with Woodsville Mansions. A gated residential area located in Merville, Paranaque, the community boasts of every convenience needed for a well-rounded, upscale healthy lifestyle, like a Village Mall, a Robinsons Supermarket, drugstore and clinics, all within its exclusive enclave. It is also close to some of the top schools, hospitals and commercial establishments in the South.

Nature buffs will not be the only ones pleased with the beautiful aesthetics of the property’s themed gardens, which number seven in all. From sunny Mediterranean architecture to Zen-like bamboo groves, Woodsville’s gardens are there to inspire, stimulate, relax or provide a little privacy to residents.

As part of the new mid-rise condominiums redefining the South’s skyline, Woodsville Mansions is ideal for families just starting out, as well as forward-thinking overseas foreign workers looking to redirect their hard-earned money into sound investments.

Easy on the eyes, easy on the pocket

With RLC’s 10:90 Early Move In program and Lease to Own scheme, homeowners have the option to move in within 6 months or immediately, depending on their preference.

Under the 10:90 Early Move In program, there is no need for buyers to wait long in building up the 20 percent equity required by banks before they finance the unit. Under this program, the buyer is required to pay only 10 percent equity, payable over a period of at least six months before he can move in. Thereafter, the remaining 90 percent is financed by a pre-bundled bank loan, payable over a maximum of 10 years.

While the Lease-to-Own scheme, on the other hand, allows the buyer to move in immediately under a 24-month lease-purchase contract without rent escalation.

This special offer is made possible by paying a Lease Deposit of only 2.5 to 3 percent for a two-year lease plan over the property. Simultaneous with the Lease Deposit payment, the clients will be asked to file an application for a bank loan with Robinsons Bank to finance the option to buy. Upon approval of the bank loan and after signing the Contract of Lease with Option to Purchase, buyers can move in right away, and because the homes offered come fully-decked in comfort, settling in will not be a problem.

The Option to Purchase will automatically be available to the client after making 24 monthly Lease Rental payments. Under the Option to Purchase, the lease deposit and monthly lease payments are fully credited as Equity, while the balance is automatically converted into a bank loan that comes pre-bundled with the scheme. It is at this point that ownership of the condo unit passes on to the client, and succeeding payments thereafter are made to Robinsons Bank for the next 10 or 15 years.

The unique feature about this Lease to Own scheme, is that there is no escalation clause and the monthly lease payments will be exactly the same as the succeeding bank loan amortization payments. This means that the buyers monthly payment will not change from start of the lease, till the end of the bank loan. Acquiring and budgeting monthly payments for your home has now been made Super Easy!
