The Sapphire Bloc: New urban enclave echoes the buzz of Ortigas

MANILA, Philippines - The energy of Ortigas living — dining and shopping — appeals to urban dwellers, and Robinsons Residences makes all these activities within easy reach. Its project, The Sapphire Bloc, is a cross between a hip and urban commune and efficient city living. By size alone, it will stand out in Ortigas central business district as the only mixed-use, four-tower residential development that will occupy an entire block.

“It started out as a twin-tower project. We took advantage of the site by buying the adjacent property and turned it into a four-tower enclave with a common podium for shared amenities and retail. Residents will now have the comfort and convenience of the spacious amenities and gardens around the building which make the total environment even more attractive,” said senior vice president for Robinsons Residences and Robinsons Luxuria Mybelle Aragon-Gobio.

The Sapphire Bloc will rise on over 8,400 square meters of prime property. These towers will house units made with quality and easy-maintenance materials—laminated wood for flooring in the living room and bedrooms, homogenous tiles in the bathrooms and tempered glass windows. They will also be equipped with stress-busting amenities such as function rooms, a private theater, and a play area and fitness center with view of the landscaped gardens. The generously-landscaped podium deck will also host a 20-meter long swimming pool, — a perfect place to unwind after a busy day at work.

 â€œWe’ve designed the units with bigger windows and bathrooms for better ventilation and comfort. All the amenities are also strategically placed within the entire development, so that owners can feel comfortable and appreciate a spacious open plan. The units are flexible enough to be easily combined with other units,” she added.

The Sapphire Bloc’s unique selling point is its Lifestyle Bloc which will consist of two floors of restaurants and shops that capture the zeitgeist and the taste of Ortigas CBD’s dwellers. Bound by Sapphire, Garnet, and Onyx streets, it also allows the inhabitants to walk or bike to the different commercial establishments in the vicinity.

Moreover, The Sapphire Bloc residents will be entitled to various lifestyle perks and privileges such as Ring Rob, a virtual concierge that provides housekeeping, laundry, business center and personal assistance for added convenience. Add to this, is an RLC Lifestyle Card which entitles qualified residents to various perks and discounts in all partner establishments.
