MANILA, Philippines - Old Manila’s primed for a comeback, and she’s doing it in style. The cityscape is currently undergoing various redevelopment initiatives, with old buildings, streets, and trodden districts getting re-decked and refurbished for the 21st century.
Among the rising “jewel†landmarks is DMCI Homes’ latest project in the city, aptly called “Torre de Manila.†Developed by the leading residential resort specialist, DMCI Homes, Torre de Manila is a resort-inspired high-rise condominium tower that will further solidify Manila’s status as a residential city for today’s upwardly mobile professionals and start-up families.
Located on a strategic vantage within the bohemian district of Ermita, Torre de Manila will rise in the heart of Manila, surrounded by popular and historic destinations that add prestige to its image. Found beside Sta. Isabel College, Torre de Manila’s surrounding area also consists of Rizal Park (40 meters across), Adamson University by the east, Manila City Hall and SM City Manila by the north, Manila Doctors Hospital at the west, the LRT-UN Avenue Station at the south, and the majestic Manila Bay at three blocks away.
This fantastic location will offer residents close proximity to all the necessary establishments – schools, hospitals, religious centers, business districts and commercial areas as well as major thoroughfares. This makes the project an ideal address for Manila (and to some extent Pasay) denizens seeking to upgrade their residence. It can also serve as a halfway home for those living in the nearby suburbs including Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, and Rizal.
Aside from the location, Torre de Manila presents more advantages as a family-oriented development. Targeted towards middle-income young professionals as well as newly-married couples and early nesters, the project offers functional benefits that enhance their urban lifestyle, including best value pricing across the market; green and sustainable design through more open spaces and generous amenities; plus quality workmanship and a faster than average rate of project completion.
With the city of Manila getting saturated by residents living in cramped residences, Torre de Manila stands as out as alternative address for families through its list of amenities and resort-like environment. This is implemented a high-ceiling lobby with other amenities: an open lounge area, a game area, an AV room, fitness center, indoor badminton court, children’s play area, tree court, basketball court, lounge pool, kiddie pool, pool deck, roof garden, and a grand sky lounge that showcases sunrise views at the side facing Antipolo hills, and romantic sunset views of the Manila bay.
Torre de Manila’s building features include the ingenious sky patio and a landscaped atrium that allows the maximum entry of light and air inside the building, together with six high speed elevators, back-up power for common areas, 24/7 security (security patrols, CCTV cameras, electrified perimeter fence), entrance gate with guardhouse, property management office, fire protection system (water sprinklers, fire exits, fire hose cabinets), rentable storage spaces at the lower parking level, sewage treatment system, and drainage system.
