MANILA, Philippines - When it comes to family, there’s nothing Filipinos wouldn’t do.
Whether it’s making sure there’s food on the table, or providing a roof over their heads, or ascertaining that their kids are growing up in clean, wholesome environments, Filipino parents will go to great lengths to ensure the well being of their loved ones.
In the old days, when growing up in a closely knit neighborhood was the norm, parents never minded that their kids practically spent their days out in the streets, hanging out with friends, playing chess or basketball to pass the time.
But in these days of shrinking urban spaces and expanding multiplexes, these neighborhoods have become few and far between. For many of today’s youth, the mall has become the playground. So much so that it’s become more common to see kids playing billiards at the mall, hooking up with strangers they’ve met online instead of visiting their neighbors or shooting hoops at the corner.
The impact of such lack of community spirit is not lost on Robinsons Land Corporation, which has created a portfolio of properties that focuses on the advantages of community living. Robinsons Communities, which has already launched several successful projects like the Escalades at 20th Avenue in Cubao; Woodsville Mansions in Merville, Paranaque; the Gateway Garden Ridge and The Pearl Place both in Mandaluyong and The Wellington Courtyard in Tagaytay recognizes the value of raising families in a close knit and familiar environment. As such each property under the Communities portfolio reflects this philosophy.
“Robinsons Communities offers compact condo units that makes it very affordable for start-up families to have their own homes. Offering bare units allows homeowners to choose how to finish their units and makes it doubly affordable for clients,” adds Chris Narciso, VP for Robinsons Communities.
Comfort zones
With Escalades South Metro, RLC reinforces its philosophy to develop not just residences but communities as well.
Escalades South Metro, a cluster of mid rise condominium units located on the quieter, flood-free side of the Sucat Interchange, provides an ideal option for those who like their living spaces a little bit distant from the madding crowd, but prefer not to sever their ties with the bustling metropolis completely. The development promises to be a low-density project with just a total of eight towers at only 12 floors each and with only 12 units per floor.
“It is a great investment vehicle considering two-thirds of the land is owned by Robinsons Malls and we expect land value to increase especially with more Southern families looking for new homes for the second-generation families that wouldn’t want get too far from the area and yet allow easy access to the business districts,” says Rouen Raz, VP of Sales and Marketing of Robinsons Communities.
With a relaxing, nature-friendly design that allows light and air to flow freely all throughout, Escalades South Metro provides the kind of tranquil comfort any metro denizen dreams of.
With more than two-thirds of its 2.2-hectare expanse devoted to open areas and green spaces, there are enough spots for residents to relax, unwind, and socialize — jogging paths for the athletically-inclined, landscaped gardens for those who like communing with their Muses, lap and kiddie pools for residents to refresh themselves, a full basketball court where hoopsters can easily indulge in a pickup game, and even a mini soccer field for football and futsal-loving kids to practice their moves (the first condominium property to offer such an option.)
Security is more than adequate, with sturdy walls enclosing the gated property, as well as guards that strictly monitor comings and goings.
