Sapphire Bloc livens up city living

MANILA, Philippines - With homegrown, community-centric lifestyle hubs emerging all over the metro, Ortigas Center is not far behind with an exciting new concept that will further spice up the already well-established dining and shopping scene in the central business district.

Robinsons Residences brings the most innovative and carefully selected array of contemporary food, fashion, and leisure establishments this side of the city at its latest high-rise residential condominium project, The Sapphire Bloc.

The mixed-use complex at the ground floor of this four-building, master-planned vertical community will not only serve as the lifestyle playground of Sapphire Bloc residents, it will also be a pace-setting destination for connoisseurs all over Metro Manila.

It will definitely be a new visual and physical landmark in the city—with its Art Deco architecture characterized by bold colors, geometric shapes and linear symmetry, indicative of the progress and forward-thinking spirit of the roaring ‘20s brought to the digital age.

A refreshing and inviting Promenade Alfresco — spanning the entire block and marked by five-meter-high ceilings complemented by modern LED lighting — serves as the entry point of this commercial area, easily accessible through both Sapphire and Garnet Roads.

A vibrant retail complex occupies the entire ground floor of the condominium development, and is divided into two phases. The first will house a unique selection of gourmet food joints, coffee shops, bars and lounges, as well as both fine and casual dining restaurants. The next phase will consist of more choices of food brands, plus specialty shops and services targeted to meet the daily living needs of The Sapphire Bloc residents. 

Each of these retail establishments is spacious and inviting, with wide, glass storefronts and their own respective alfresco areas under shaded glass canopies, the perfect hangout with friends or for some valuable alone time, as well as the ideal venue for family gatherings or socials. Separate parking spaces for retail patrons are also conveniently located on the upper ground floor. 

The Sapphire Bloc residents as well as foodies from all over the metro will have a wide variety of world cuisine at their choosing, reminiscent of the best dining experiences from the streets of London, Tokyo and New York. Its bars, lounges and pubs are also influenced by the energetic club scene of Europe.

The Sapphire Bloc is a stylish address that spells both sophistication and convenience, making it a perfect sanctuary for urbanites and active professionals. Its efficient and well-engineered units, available in one- to two-bedroom configurations, were designed for utmost value in form, function and comfort.

Complementing the active lifestyle of city dwellers are trademark amenities and services of Robinsons Residences. The proprietary RingRob system is an exclusive, digital concierge service that The Sapphire Bloc residents will also be able to enjoy for their housekeeping, laundry, food delivery, and other needs.

Unit owners of The Sapphire Bloc also become automatic holders of the much-coveted Robinsons Lifestyle Card, which provides exclusive access to a host of loyalty perks and privilege discounts in participating merchants and partners.
