RLC offers first affordable hotel, residential project in Greenhills

RLC offers first affordable hotel, residential project in Greenhills

May 20, 2014     

Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) has launched a hotel-residential tower with about P1.6 billion worth of units, in the prime in San Juan under its Robinsons Communities brand – Chimes Greenhills.

The 40-storey mixed-use residential condominium along Annapolis street will have nine floors of parking, 5 hotel floors and 25 floors of reasonably-priced residential floors.

The 372-unit Chimes Greenhills is the latest in the portfolio of Robinsons Communities which caters to the mid-income market.

“Affordability is the key component of Robinsons Communities. We offer attractive payment schemes and always indicate the entry level. Moreover, our condominium developments are located along the prime peripheries of the business districts or prime suburban areas,” said RLC senior vice president Mybelle V. Aragon-GoBio.

Amid soaring real estate prices in the area, Aragon-GoBio said “Chimes is the most affordable development in that that kind of neighborhood. Our unit offerings are sized differently from other developments there.”

A Chimes Greenhills unit can cost as low as P2.1 million with a monthly amortization of P11,000 for a 21.7-sqm studio to P5.1 million for a two-bedroom 48.9 sqm-condo.

Robinsons Communities Head of Sales Ferdinand Adriano, said cost per square meters is about P100,000 to P110,000 for Chimes while other developers sell units at around P140,000 per square meter.

Aragon-Gobio said the attractive pricing has resulted in a very successful launch of the project with buyers gobbling up the first 5 percent of units offered to the market.

“Other Greenhills developers are tapping the A class. We are addressing a market untapped in the area—the upper middle and middle income groups” said Robinsons Communities Senior Director for Business Development Teddy Bernas.

He noted that “our major competitors provide larger units while some have no studios. We have focused on efficient planning, allowing us to offer right-sized units at affordable prices.”

This residential enclave will also include a Summit Hotel. “Summit Hotel would definitely lend  further prestige to our residential building,” said Aragon-GoBio.

She explained that “we’ve had a successful model of such with the high-end residential condominium Galleria Regency which is atop the Crowne Plaza Hotel.” (James Loyola)

40-story Robinsons tower to rise in Greenhills

40-story Robinsons tower to rise in Greenhills

May 20, 2014

MANILA, Philippines—Robinsons Land Corp. of the Gokongwei group is breaking into the Greenhills property market by building a new 40-story residential and hotel tower, which it envisions to be the benchmark for “affordable affluence.”

Located on Annapolis Street in Greenhills, San Juan, RLC’s “Chimes Greenhills” tower will contain 372 residential units under the Robinsons Communities brand with an estimated sales value of P1.6 billion.

The units will be turned over to homebuyers by 2019, or around the same time that RLC’s business hotel brand Summit Hotel will open around 100 hotel rooms in the same tower.

The project will bring to the property market an additional 15,000 square meters of residential space, with the average selling price starting at P108,000 per square meter—lower than the going rate of around P150,000 per square meter (sqm) in the area that serves as a gateway to the Greenhills commercial complex.

“The current prices would be prohibitive for one who wishes to live in Greenhills. Chimes is the most affordable development in that kind of neighborhood. Our unit offerings are sized differently from other developments there,” said Mybelle Aragon-GoBio, RLC senior vice president.

As an initial offering, a 21.7-sqm Chimes Greenhills studio unit costs as low as P2.1 million, allowing for a monthly amortization of P11,000. A two-bedroom 48.9 sqm condo unit costs P5.1 million.

The “affordable affluence” referred to by RLC covers the middle and upper middle income segment with an estimated monthly household income of P80,000 to P100,000.

Apart from the “fantastic” location, GoBio said the project would stand out with its “revitalizing amenities” that would be at par with higher priced and upscale developments in the area.

The hotel and residential components will have separate lobbies and amenities. The 11th to 15th floors will have the Summit Hotel rooms while the residential units will be on the 17th to 40th floors.

Ferdinand Adriano, head of sales at Robinsons Communities, said this residential project with “compact yet functional design” was positioned for businessmen and third-generation residents of nearby exclusive villages in Greenhills.

There will be 136 studio units, 102 one-bedroom units, 130 two-bedroom and the largest will be four three-bedroom units each measuring 125 square meters.

“Other Greenhills developers are tapping the A class. We are addressing a market untapped in the area—the upper middle and middle income groups. Our major competitors provide larger units while some have no studios. We have focused on efficient planning, allowing us to offer right-sized units at affordable prices,” said Teddy Bernas, senior director for business development at Robinsons Communities.

The hotel component offered by Summit Hotel is seen to “lend further prestige” to the residential building,” Aragon-GoBio said.

“We’ve had a successful model of such with the high-end residential condominium Galleria Regency which is atop the Crowne Plaza Hotel.”

The condominium will have such amenities as a game room and private theater. Residents can keep fit in the swimming pool and fitness gym. Children may also enjoy the kiddie pool and play pod. Social gatherings can be held at the Sky Lounge or Sky Garden on the top deck which overlooks the Makati skyline.

Bayside living at its Brightest

 

Among the property developments in the market today that seek to provide an ideal living solution specifically for the Chinese-Filipino community, none perhaps is as promising and auspicious as Robinsons Residences’ latest offering, The Radiance Manila Bay.

First of all, the project is located in an 8,000-sqm property along Roxas Boulevard. It is in an area that is filled with history and modern developments, such as malls, offices, hotels, hospitality and entertainment establishments, and cultural centers.

The Radiance Manila Bay is thoughtfully designed inside and out to maximize the enviable location. It is created to provide future residents with an efficient way of life to match the fast-paced city environment.

The twin-tower residential condominium will rise as high as 36 floors, and will be a haven for individuals and families who desire exclusivity with its low-density atmosphere of no more than 21 units per floor. Unit configurations come in spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom types.

Its building façade boasts of a distinctive, auspicious detail — a cascading three-story waterfall that will greet residents and visitors at the drop-off area. A unique indoor water feature at the lobby provides additional water elements that increase free-flowing positive energy.

Indoor and outdoor amenities are located at the sixth-level podium. There is also a Sky Lounge at the roof deck and an adjacent three-level retail establishment for residents. This will create a lifestyle of convenience and accessibility without leaving the comfort of one’s home.

It is also here at the amenity podium where residents can enjoy picturesque views of the famed Manila Bay sunset — a visual feast associated with abundance, wealth, and prosperity. Relaxing by the lap pool or enjoying cocktails with family and friends, residents can enjoy the sun setting on the horizon framed by the twin residential towers.

Efficient living is evident inside The Radiance Manila Bay community. In terms of living space, select units will boast of floor-to-ceiling windows while almost all units will have balconies to enjoy the Manila Bay views.

“Green” or environment-friendly features are also a hallmark of the project. Fresh air intake and natural lighting were taken into consideration in the design of hallways and common areas, in order to ensure a healthy atmosphere.
