MANILA, Philippines - Marikina is a city that has managed to retain its laidback atmosphere despite its stellar development a decade ago. The construction of Tropicana Garden City in Marikina has not only contributed to its progress but also opened the doors for homebuyers to experience idyllic condo living. With the completion of three of its towers, Tropicana Garden City welcomes its residents and prospective buyers to a life of comfort and simple pleasures.
Ibiza, Valderrama and Toledo are three of the nine Spanish-inspired structures that will be located in the 17 hectare mixed-used development along Sumulong Highway. While each building has its own distinguishing features, all of them mirror the garden theme of Tropical Garden City. Valderrama, which has Castilian-Mediterranean architecture influences, has sky gardens and garden patios offering a refreshing vista and ambience to its residents. Both Ibiza and Toledo have sky gardens.
Palm trees, beautiful flowers and lush greeneries complement the identity of Tropicana Garden City. The resort-style swimming pools are surrounded by flowering plants and small bushes. There is a reflecting pool that adds a soothing quality to the area, which is good for meditating or calming a stressed mind. The pocket garden with fountain conjures images of the Patio de los Leones in Alhambra and its Fountain of Lions.
The Tropicana Garden City was designed and created with families in mind. Ibiza, with its distinguishing L-shaped structure, has more spacious units ideal for families. Ibiza units have bigger spaces where families can enjoy spending time together or parents bond with their children. The amenities located here also support its kid-friendly positioning. There’s a kiddie pool, kids’ zone (day care), game room for the older children and play area.
Adults will be pleased with the amenities geared toward pursuing active and social lifestyle. There will be a fully equipped gym, jogging path, clubhouse, library and multi-purpose court for use of its residents and their guests.
Located near premier universities and colleges, Tropicana Garden City can also be the right “first pad” for college students. Toledo tower offers spacious one-bedroom units for independent college kids to bigger three-bedroom units for families with kids studying in nearby schools.
Tropicana Garden City is part of the master-planned community touted as the first of its kind in the area. It will feature an upscale commercial center that will house casual-dining restaurants, boutiques and other specialty shops. Although still under construction, a couple of its tenants are already operating: 7-Eleven and Gold’s Gym.
