MANILA, Philippines - The Levels heightened homebuyers’ anticipation of the upscale California lifestyle with the recent topping off of Anaheim Tower the first of a planned four-tower complex. The recent completion of the topmost floor of Anaheim is an indication that The Levels is fast gearing up for full completion and eventual turnover, says Joseph M. Yap, director of Filinvest Land Inc. and president of Cyberzone Properties Inc. (CPI), during the topping-off ceremony.
“When completed, The Levels is expected to add a new dimension of condo living to the newly-reinvigorated Filinvest City, the living and breathing city that it is known today,†Yap says.
With the marked warm reception received by the first tower, The Levels is poised to launch Burbank, its second building, this year. Francis V. Ceballos, senior vice president and cluster head at FLI says the market response to The Levels was encouraging. Sales momentum accelerated when the Anaheim started becoming visible when its construction started early last year. He describes the market of The Levels as a mix of local end users, many of whom are from the surrounding towns and cities and with a good number from the neighboring villages in Alabang. Buyers also include professionals and businessmen in the south, in Filinvest City itself and other areas of Metro Manila.
“The Levels is also a very attractive choice for people who are looking for residences for their children but cannot see buying another house or lot in Alabang,†he says. Ceballos also points out The Levels has a specific appeal compared to other residential projects that makes it exciting to prospective buyers. The Levels is centrally located along the Pacific Rim Road near the corner of Commerce Avenue in Filinvest City. In addition to the project’s location in a premium neighborhood, The Levels boasts of spacious one-bedroom or two-bedroom units. He says, “You will experience different levels of enjoyment from the residences in the upper levels, the amenities in the second level, and the lifestyle commercial area at the ground level.â€
“Variation of height gives The Levels its unique character,†says Sophia de Vera, senior associate of Casas+Architects, which together with the P&T Group of Hong Kong designed the project.
Architect Bernadette Tan, a partner of Casas+Architects, explains that the ground gets higher and higher as one goes to the inner part of The Levels. In the middle part, there is another higher level that separates the townhouses from the towers. Driving along its sloping roads dotted with landscaped gardens recreate the experience of San Francisco’s famous Lombard Street. Also making The Levels’ contemporary architecture distinct from other buildings in Filinvest City is the different colors of its buildings’ facades. “The façade is multi-colored,†Tan says. “Usually, a building has one color with an accent. Here, you will see the different colors in the face of the buildings. For instance, the louvers are part of colored areas of the building’s extension. Because the louvers also serve as architectural treatment for the aircon units and serve as sunlight buffers, they are not only aesthetic but also functional,†says de Vera.
With its different levels of suburban living lifestyle, single yuppies, newlyweds, growing families, or even empty-nesters, can expect utmost convenience and relaxation at The Levels. Units are well-appointed with quality finishes and panoramic views of the South. Once the entire complex is completed, future residents can expect verdant, themed gardens and courtyards with vine-shaded walkways that melt away stress from everyday living. There are also recreational and wellness amenities such as a geometric-shaped swimming pool with adjoining kiddie pool, outdoor children’s playground, meditation nooks and jogging paths. Indoor amenities include a fitness center, function halls, kiddie play area, library lounge and prayer room. There are boutiques and specialty shops on the ground floor. A grand ballroom overlooks the porte-cochere. The Levels is secured 24 hours a day. Each building has an exclusive main lobby and reception area, two high-speed passenger elevators, one freight elevator, centralized mailroom, administration office, maintenance room, multi-level basement parking and drivers’ lounge.
