Today, within the same area of the ice cream parlor, a new community rises to evoke the same gift of family bonding and unforgettable childhood memories. The place is called The Magnolia Residences – the newest exclusive residential hub of Robinsons Residences.

The Magnolia Residences covers two of the five-hectare mixed-use development of Robinsons Land Corporation. Aside from the residential area, also within the community is the sprawling “green” mall called Robinsons Magnolia – a high-end lifestyle and leisure hub that is now the newest landmark of New Manila.

The new community is a four-tower residential development that offers idyllic living spaces for the discerning urbanite. Its prime location places its residents among other families enjoying its peaceful suburban settings. New Manila is defined by large, old trees that also add to the sense of nostalgia and charm of the place.
