A Spanish lifestyle at Maricielo Villas

MANILA, Philippines - Triple A property builder and developer DMCI Homes recently inaugurated the clubhouse and model units of Maricielo Villas, its first Spanish-themed mid-rise residential community in Las Piñas City.

DMCI Homes officials led by Alma Florendo, vice president for project development, and Anna Marie Ferrer, vice president for DPMC, cut the ceremonial ribbon to formally open the clubhouse and the two-bedroom and three-bedroom model units at Madrid building. Fr. Boy Castor of the St. Paul Seminary blessed the clubhouse and model units followed by the ceremonial coin tossing for good luck.

A flamenco performance from dancers of the Clara Ramona Centro de Danza Flamenca and a paella cooking demonstration by chef Rolando Laudico were sidelights of last Saturday’s event dubbed “Delicioso!” gave prospective homebuyers and guests a peek of an exciting lifestyle with a touch of Spain that awaits future residents of the Maricielo Villas.

Maricielo Villas has a unique Spanish Mission architectural theme to conform to the Las Piñas City government’s requirement for building structures to blend with the restored Spanish-era Parish Church of St. Joseph, which houses the famous Las Piñas Bamboo Organ. The architectural theme is characterized by the use of special synthetic adobe blocks in all condominium buildings, the clubhouse, the perimeter wall and the gatehouse.

“Maricielo Villas is the best choice for young families compared to other residential projects in the Las Piñas area,” says Jan Venturanza, DMCI Homes marketing manager. “Based on the track record of our company, we are sure that this project presents the most value for money here in Las Piñas.”

Venturanza adds that Maricielo Villas features the same resort amenity and pioneering signature layout that makes other mid-rise residential condominiums of DMCI Homes very appealing to its residents and homebuyers. “Maximized open spaces are the basis of our resort-inspired configuration wherein we typically surround the amenity core with residential buildings to give the project a community feel, he says.

Some of the outdoor resort living amenities that relieve stress and promise enjoyment for the whole family are linear parks, swimming pool, and garden trail and pool decks. Indoor amenities at the clubhouse consist of game area, lounge areas, convenience store, and water refilling station, laundry station, function hall, audio-visual room and fitness gym.

Each of the condominium buildings in Maricielo Villas has a breezeway for enhanced natural ventilation and lighting, atrium garden that beautifies homes and maintain fresh air, and single-loaded corridors that open up to a balcony overlooking the landscaped atrium. The single loaded corridors eliminate the cooped-up feeling in the usual residential buildings where doors of home units faces each other.

All residential buildings have lower ground floor parking with 267 slots plus 49 street parking slots.

With only five buildings in a 1.8-hectare land, Maricielo Villas provides low-density living — the Segovia, Pontevedra, Madrid, Sebastian and Almeria.

Each unit has a floor area of 48.50 to 87.50 square meters. It includes kitchen, toilet and bathroom, a living/dining space, balcony and service area. The price range for units is from P2 million to P4.5 million.

Residents are secured through an electrified perimeter fence, 24-hour security service, CCTV cameras in strategic areas, roving security guards and a security room.

Maricielo Villas’ location along the corner of Quirino and Casimiro Avenues makes it very accessible to the Alabang-Zapote Road, the C5 Extension Road and the Manila-Cavite Coastal Road. Proximity to major thoroughfares makes driving to the workplace fast and easy for residents.
