A life lived well at Wellington

MANILA, Philippines - The term “living well” once conjured images of material wealth and wanton indulgence, but these days it has acquired new meaning in social discourse that has little to do with material gain and, instead, everything to do with the more profoundly important things in life, such as family, health and the environment.

These days, to “live well” is to know how to pedal down from the speedway of professional pursuits to nurture the ties that bind with one’s family, to decompress as a matter of good health, and to acknowledge the intangible benefits that a healthy environment brings to our everyday life.

And as this new concept of “living well” deepens among men and women, premier real estate developer Robinsons Land Corp. is providing just the perfect platform for this sublime approach to modern living: Wellington Courtyard.

Located along Mayor’s Drive and Mahogany Avenue, in the heart of picturesque Tagaytay City and its famously year-long temperate climes, Wellington Courtyard is a beautifully designed, low-rise condo development that sits on a sprawling 6,000 sq.m property, much of which will be left open to provide residents unimpeded access to the gifts of nature abundant in Tagaytay – the lush landscapes, the invigorating fragrance of pine trees and other flora, the poetic beauty of fog gently rolling along hills and rooftops, and – of course – the nippy air that has become the city’s defining quality.

The five-story clusters of condos are done in cottage house-style Americana with an informed European flair, with prices ranging from. P1.8 million for a basic one-bedroom unit (29 sq.m), to P2.9 million for a two-bedroom unit (48 sq.m), and P5 million for a two-bedroom penthouse loft (80 sq.m). Needless to say, as with all Robinsons Land residential developments, Wellington Courtyard includes the features and amenities one would expect from a leisure residential development, including a clubhouse, a gazebo, separate swimming pools for adults and kids, a multipurpose court, an open-air picnic ground, and bird fountain. Besides these, Wellington Courtyard is a gated community with 24/7 security, underground drainage utilities, Meralco power supply, and cable and telecommunications-ready units.
