Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC), is offering home-buyers a chance to live in a nature-inspired community in the middle of Manila with its latest development project, Escalades South Metro by Robinsons Communities.

“Escalades South Metro takes the best qualities that have made the Robinsons Communities project in Cubao one of our fast-selling mid-rise residential developments for professionals and families. For those who look to the south as the place of their future residence, we are confident that this new project is a good proposition,” said Christopher Narciso, VP Business development, Robinsons Communities.

Located near the Sucat Interchange, almost 75 percent of the 2.2-hectare property was allotted for open areas reserved mostly for ‘green spaces.’ The development projects an Asian-contemporary design infused with resort-like amenities. These include landscaped gardens, winding jogging path, gazebos, activity lawn, and meditative pond with water feature.

The laidback ambiance defines the Robinsons Communities brand of RLC. It provides the platform to build stronger ties with family and the community. The company builds projects for families who want to live in a peaceful and well-masterplanned environment designed with large open spaces, and recreational facilities.

Other projects under Robinsons Communities are: Escalades at 20th Ave. in Cubao; Woodsville Mansions in Merville, Paranaque; The Wellington Courtyard in Tagaytay; Gateway Garden Ridge in Mandaluyong; Bloomfields in Davao and Tagaytay; and Blue Coast Residences in Cebu.

Escalades South Metro will be composed of eight towers with 11 residential floors. There will be 132 units per building, with homes ranging from studio (20 sqm) to two-bedroom units (45 sqm).

“We wanted a low-density environment for our target clients, and the mid-rise set-up achieves just that. We are hoping to tap young professionals, starting families, and even empty-nesters whose kids now have a family of their own and need a smaller space. In the Escalades community, families will be able to enjoy our extensive amenities to the fullest,” said Mr. Narciso.

Escalades South Metro units are also designed to be environment-friendly. All units have more windows to allow natural light and ventilation to circulate around the house – cutting down on electricity. The landscape of the whole development also follows the land’s natural terrain with plants and trees covering the most part of the amenity area.

Aside from the gardens, the project will also have clubhouse, a lap pool for adults, kiddie pool, and barbecue pits as additional provisions for more family-oriented activities.

Future unit owners will also benefit from state-of-the-art provisions such as a tastefully-designed lobby with reception counter, annunciator panel with emergency speaker on all floors, and standby power generator for common area and selected outlets for residential units. There will also be a central garbage room, water reservoir, and automatic smoke detectors and fire alarm.

Robinsons Communities is also confident that with their affordable prices and easy-payment terms, starting families and young professionals won’t have a hard time getting their own home. Prices range from P1.1 million to P2.4 million. The units will be turned over in a ready-to-receive finish that amounts to considerable savings for homeowners, as it spares them from incurring any extra cost to knock down walls or change finishes to fashion their own personal space according to their preference.

OFWs also eyeing to buy a new home will find Escalades South Metro as a lucrative investment.

“OFWs who only stay a few months every year since they need to go out of the country to work, have the option of leasing out their place. Robinsons has a property management team who can take care of the set-up. The team will also take charge of the cleaning and maintenance of the home if the owner is out of the country,” said Roeun Raz, VP for Sales & Marketing Robinsons Communities.

Escalades South Metro is strategically located in the middle of Makati and the growing business hub of Alabang. It is also accessible to major transport hubs such as the newly-improved Philippine National Railway.

Turnover of first tower is expected third quarter of 2011, with the whole development expected to be finished in the next six years.
