Kid-friendly garden community soon to rise in Paco, Manila

MANILA, Philippines - One of the biggest garden communities in the metro has risen at the heart of Paco district in Manila. Horizon Land, a subsidiary of Federal Land Inc., part of George Ty’s group of companies that includes Metrobank, is now building an ambitious project called the Peninsula Garden Midtown Homes (PGMH), an 8-tower condo to be built on a 2.1 hectare of land that will offer a unique garden community with kid-friendly features. 

During the recent ground-breaking ceremony for the project’s Maple Tower , its second tower, the executive vice president of Horizon Land, Jose Mari Banzon, said that the Peninsula Garden Midtown Homes is focusing on three key points to arouse the interest of its prospective buyers — kid-friendly, accessibility and affordability.

“We envision the Peninsula Garden Midtown Homes to be a garden community and kid-friendly development that is geared more for the whole family,” Banzon said. “We want urban-based Filipino families to enjoy the amenities of garden living in the city at a more affordable rate -- and without need for them to relocate to the suburbs.”

For starters, Horizon Land will allocate more than 50 percent of open spaces to enable the children (and at the same time, the young-at-heart) to enjoy and cherish the various play and learning activities.

Horizon Land will also provide the necessary facilities to ensure that the facilities for use during the kids’ play time will be safe and relaxing -- whether they are swimming at the kiddie pool, reading a book by the gazebos and the garden, or playing their favorite ball games at the development’s multi-purpose court. Also to be put up as part of the open spaces are a promenade and a jogging path for running and physical fitness activities.

The Narra and the Maple towers will offer two-bedroom units ranging from 33.6 to 38.2 square meters, while the Molave Tower shall offer one-bedroom and two-bedroom units ranging from 33.5 to 75.5 square meters.
