The world at your fingertips

MANILA, Philippines - What’s a perfect way to start the day? Savouring mornings with a steaming mug of coffee in your hands. What’s a not-so-perfect way to start the day? Finding out you don’t have any sugar or coffee creamer on hand and realizing the nearest grocery store is about three blocks away.

This leaves you with two choices: walk the three blocks to buy what you need or forego your morning coffee. Either way, your day’s shot and you’re probably walking around in a great big funk.

Of course, this would all be avoided if you just paid attention to your pantry. But in this age of 24/7 deadlines and wall-to-wall meetings, it’s not often convenient to do that. Convenience is a commodity that’s in short supply nowadays.

Fortunately, Robinsons Residences, the urban lifestyle brand of Robinsons Land Corporation Residential Division put convenience at the top of their own grocery list when they developed Magnolia Residences.

Nostalgic but not old-fashioned

The Magnolia Residences is the four-tower condominium complex which serves as the residential component of Magnolia Town Square, a master-planned mixed-use residential and commercial complex, located in the exclusive neighborhood of New Manila, Quezon City.

Located in the same spot that Magnolia House—the iconic ice cream parlor where families, friends and lovers celebrated special events and milestones from the 60s to the 80s— used to stand, the property resonates with warmth and nostalgia, a vibe woven seamlessly into the property’s modern aesthetic, creating a living area that is homey but not old-fashioned.

The development is envisioned to be a self-contained community with a residential area and a mall within its five-hectare compound. The Magnolia Residences counts among its many amenities various pools, a sun deck, a barbeque pit, a jogging path and multi-purpose rooms, as well as libraries, fitness centers, zen gardens and playgrounds.

But in addition to that, the project boasts of its own commercial complex on its grounds—like having a mall in your backyard.

The world at your fingertips

Residents of the community have the world at their fingertips, figuratively speaking, benefiting not only from the property’s proximity to schools (St. Paul University, Xavier School, La Salle Greenhills, etc.), churches (Mount Carmel), and hospitals (St. Luke’s Medical Center), but also from the various retail and service outlets inside the Town Square Mall.

Three hectares of the total area will be devoted to a commercial complex. Its utilization of the mixed-use design synergizes the comfort of the residential and the accessibility of the commercial components.
