Homeowner meets his match at Maricielo Villas

MANILA, Philippines - Maricielo Villas, the first Spanish-themed mid-rise community in Las Piñas City under the development of DMCI Homes, welcomed the first homeowners of the first two buildings now ready for occupancy, Segovia and Pontevedra.

One of them is 29-year-old Miko Misa, who bought a two-bedroom unit in the four-storey Segovia even before the Maricielo Villas was launched for construction last year. The 50-sqm. unit with balcony and service area at the rooftop perfectly matches his criteria for a new home.

 “I saw the balance of price, proximity and quality in the Maricielo Villas,” says the young professional.

The pre-selling price of P2.08 million fit Misa’s budget. When he saw the Francisco Motors plant being demolished to give way to Maricielo Villas while on a field work in March 2011, he knew the price was good at the time because the site was still being prepared for the groundbreaking.

The location of Maricielo Villas at the corner of Quirino and Casimiro Avenues is a good spot to relocate from his Merville, Parañaque home. It is accessible to his workplace in the Pandacan oil depot in Manila via the Manila-Cavite Coastal Road, he says.

Via the Alabang-Zapote Road and the C5 Extension Road, Maricielo Villas residents can have an easy access to Alabang central business district (CBD) just a 20-minute drive, to the Filinvest CBD in 25 minutes and to the Makati CBD in 30 minutes. Seven hospitals and seven schools are five minutes to 20 minutes away.

With DMCI Homes’ track record in building quality homes and residential communities, Misa says his new home has a better quality than that of other developers’.

 “The design of the unit is very satisfactory,” he says.

Generous unit sizes also assure comfort to occupants. A two-bedroom unit in the Segovia ranges from 50.50 to 80 square meters. In the five-storey Pontevedra, 2-bedroom units are from 42.5 to 85.50 square meters. Every unit includes a kitchen, toilet and bathroom, a living/dining space, balcony, service area and provisions for window-type air-conditioning, cable TV connection, telephone line connection and smoke detectors.

The resort-themed community with residential buildings and a clubhouse in Spanish Mission architecture also appeals to Misa.

 “It is very refreshing when you enter Maricielo Villas coming from the traffic outside,” he says.

The healthy lifestyle extends to the residential buildings, where breezeways maximize natural ventilation and lighting. Ground floor atrium gardens beautify the interior and maintain fresh air. Single loaded corridors feature a balcony overlooking the landscaped atrium so doors of units do not directly face each other. There is a scenic elevator and basement car park for each of the five residential buildings named after cities and provinces in Spain.

Enhancing the relaxed atmosphere are modern amenities such as the clubhouse, swimming pool, entertainment/game room, lounge areas, multi-function hall and fitness gym. The clubhouse also has spaces for a convenience store and laundry station.
