Chimes Greenhills - Affordable Condominium To Rise In Greenhills' Lucky Spot

 Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC), Euromoney's Overall Best Managed Company in the Philippines for 2013 and 2014, launches its first project in San Juan under its Robinsons Communities brand - Chimes Greenhills. This 40-storey mixed-use residential condominium will offer comfortable and reasonably-priced living complemented by the good chi of Annapolis Street.

"Affordability is the key component of Robin sons 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," explains Mybelle V. Aragon-GoBio, RLC Senior Vice President.

Location is a key factor in what sets this development apart. It's very easy to access the business and commercial centers in Quezon City, Makati and Bonifacio Global City via EDSA and other main thoroughfares. Annapolis Street is also a gateway to an extensive variety of shopping, dining and entertainment destinations in the neighborhood such as the Greenhills Shopping Center; Robinsons Galleria and Robinsons Magnolia. It is also accessible to world-class health facilities such as Cardinal Santos Medical Center, Medical City and Belo Medical Center and a host of exclusive schools and universities.

With 372 units, Chimes Greenhills created a niche in an urban enclave of soaring real estate prices. Aragon-GoBio says a substantial amount is needed to purchase a condominium in a Greenhills development. "The current prices would be prohibitive for one who wishes to live in Greenhills.

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 PhP2.1 million with a monthly amortization of PhP ll,000 for a 21.7-sqm studio to PhP 5.1 million for a two-bedroom 48.9 sqm-condo.

"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" says Teddy Bernas, Senior Director for Business Development.

Architects Jonathan Gan and Conrad Erfe designed the project to harness the good chi. They chose the rods of the wind chimes as the prevailing motif in the architecture. The streamlined facade will be interspersed with glass and natural stone, accentuated with chime bars for good fortune.

This residential enclave will also include a Summit Hotel. "Summit Hotel would definitely lend further prestige to our residential building," adds Aragon-GoBio. "We've had a successful model of such with the high-end residential condominium Galleria Regency which is atop the Crowne Plaza Hotel."

While both the hotel and the residences will share an entrance hall, they will have separate grand lobbies. The Chimes Greenhills lobby will be decked with a statement chandelier of droplights resembling wind chimes.

The condominium will provide its own leisure amenities such as the Game Station and the Private Theater. Residents can keep fit with the swimming pool and the Fitness Gym which is equipped by Life Fitness, an American company famous for its high-performance treadmills, bicycles and exercise machines. Children can enjoy the kiddie pool and the Play Pod. Social gatherings can be held at the Sky Lounge or the Sky Garden on the top deck which overlooks the Makati skyline.

In terms of value of money, Bernas takes pride that Chimes Greenhills hands over to the buyer more than what is expected from a mid-priced condominium. "We offer units that feature premium finishes, at par with higher-priced units, such as homogenous tile flooring, bedroom closets, granite counters, quality fixtures, overhead cabinets, range hoods and burner cook tops."

Architect Erfe adds that each unit is planned with flexible space. "We made an open plan so there are fewer partitions. When you enter, the space feels very big and everything is well-ventilated with lots of natural lighting. The windows present nice views of the city."

Ferdinand Adriano, Head of Sales of Robinsons Communities, points out that Chimes Greenhills' extra edge is the low density per floor, thereby providing future residents more privacy. There are 18 units per floor in the low zone while there are 10 units per floor in the high zone.

In a statement, Arnel Paciano D.

Robinsons Land to spend same amount for capex in 2015

Robinsons Land to spend same amount for capex in 2015

By: Krista Angela M. Montealegre, InterAksyon.com

October 21, 2014 11:33 AM

MANILA – Robinsons Land Corp (RLC) expects its capital expenditures for fiscal year 2015 to remain at record levels, largely to bankroll the development of shopping malls.

On the sidelines of its 25th listing anniversary on Tuesday, RLC president Frederick Go said the property developer intends to shell out P15-17 billion in the fiscal year ending September 2015, or about the same as its record P16-billion spending program in the previous fiscal year.

"The outlook for the property industry remains very good. We had a great 3-4 year run. I think the market should be more steady," Go said.

He said RLC historically has resorted to fixed rate borrowings to partially fund its capex.

The Gokongwei-owned real estate firm is opening the expanded mall in Novaliches and new shopping centers in Las Pinas, Antique and Cebu this fiscal year, growing its gross leasable area by 11 percent year-on-year.

Robinsons Galleria Cebu will feature a mall with 76,000 square meters in gross leasable area, and a 220-room Summit Hotel. The company’s third mall in Cebu is slated to open in August 2015 and its second hotel in the city will be launched six months after.

Apart from opening four malls, RLC will also start the construction of 4-5 shopping centers.

An 82-room Summit Hotel will rise within the Robinsons Magnolia development in Quezon City. It will commence operations this quarter.

About 85 percent of the business comes from recurring income sources, with RLC taking a conservative stance on its residential operations.

“Residential is always there but we always respond to market conditions. As long as market conditions remain good, we will continue to build residential projects,” Go said.

Riding on its expansion program in the previous years, RLC expects stronger performance in the current fiscal year.

"Because of the size and volume of projects we built, the fiscal year 2015 numbers will look different," Go said.

RLC's consolidated profit jumped 6.4 percent to P3.88 billion in the October to June period from P3.65 billion a year ago.

Its performance in the nine-month period was a turnaround from the 8 percent decline in earnings in the first half due to typhoon and fire losses.

The Grade A office building is registered under the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) green building program. Tera Tower is gunning for a LEED gold certification, marking the Gokongwei-led developer's commitment to environmental sustainability.

Robinsons Land aims for LEED Gold badge

Robinsons Land aims for LEED Gold badge

By Manila Standard Today | Sep. 26, 2014 at 06:01pm

Robinsons Land Corp.’s upcoming prime, Grade A office building in Quezon City is expected to carry the flag for the property development firm’s commitment to environmental sustainability and further upgrading its office features as it aims for a LEED Gold Certified green building program.

Faraday D. Go, RLC’s General Manager for Office Buildings Division, said the 20 storey Tera Tower---registered under the Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED®) green building program—will be located inside its upcoming mixed-use complex and will have 15 office floors and ample parking space provisions.

Targeted for completion by 3rd quarter of 2015, RLC’s 11th office building is currently under pre-leasing stage, it will be, adding an additional gross floor area of approximately 35,000 square meters to its growing office portfolio.

For its office space offerings this 2014, RLC is actively leasing its two new office buildings, Cyberscape Alpha and Cyberscape Beta. Both are located within the Ortigas Central Business District and are just a few steps away from Robinsons Galleria, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Asian Development Bank head office.

Strategically located along E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue (C-5) and Ortigas Avenue, Tera Tower will be the first structure at the heart of Robinsons Land’s fourth mixed-use development in Quezon City.

“Modern residential, retail and hotel establishments are planned to be built alongside it, complementing the similarly modern architectural concept of Tera Tower in this master-planned 8-hectare development”, Go said in a statement.

The U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® green building program is the globally recognized and preeminent program for the design, construction, maintenance and operations of high-performance green buildings and in line with its aim for LEED® Gold certification, Tera Tower will showcase sustainable and efficient building features.

Common areas will be brightly lit with durable and energy-efficient LED lights to better manage electricity consumption. A rainwater recycling system will be used to irrigate the building’s common area landscaping instead of using potable water. Office spaces will use double glazed windows on all the exterior glass facades of the building to allow sunlight to pass through but limit the flow of heat going into the building.

“This minimizes the need for the use of office lighting and air-conditioning which potentially leads to electricity savings and better air quality for the tenants”, Go added.

Magnolia Residences offers semi-furnished units

Magnolia Residences offers semi-furnished units

September 20, 2014        • The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Moving into a new condo home can be both exciting and overwhelming, but at the Magnolia Residences, homebuyers can opt for a truly hassle-free experience with units fitted out in accordance to their needs.

Situated in the upscale Quezon City neighborhood of New Manila, Magnolia Residences is a four-tower high-rise urban sanctuary that pays homage to the iconic Magnolia Ice Cream House, seeking to marry the charms of the past with the comforts of contemporary living. The launch of the first two towers in 2009 and 2010 was met with overwhelming response from homebuyers, prompting Robinsons Residences to enhance the condo buying experience with a semi-furnished option, especially for those seeking to get into the fast-selling vertical community with immediacy and ease.

 “We have provided the essential furnishings so that our buyers can fully enjoy the transition, with no worries and hassles marring the experience,” explains May Precilla, vice president for sales and marketing for Robinsons Residences and Robinsons Luxuria.

Starting with units in the third tower, Tower C, a well-thought-out appliance package not only gives buyers value for their money, but also allows for a more satisfying home experience. Discriminating unit buyers will appreciate a functional and ready home environment comprised of an air-conditioning unit, cook top, range hood, a refrigerator and a fully automatic washing machine.

The appliance package is just one of the thoughtful conveniences offered by Magnolia Residences in harmony with its value proposition of providing a city living that provides daily conveniences, as well as rest and rejuvenation for active urban dwellers. Apart from its generously spaced units that allow for ease of movement and comfort, its complete amenities and its integration into the Magnolia Town Center with the Robinsons Magnolia Mall offers unparalleled convenience.

Proof of this winning innovation is the Best Mixed-Use Development in the Philippines plum that the development garnered at the 2013-2014 International Property Awards for Asia Pacific.

Those seeking to be part of this distinctive Quezon City condo enclave need not wait long as Tower C is slated for turnover to unit owners by the end of 2017. As early as October 2014, The Magnolia Residences will be welcoming residents in Tower B, while Tower A will be turned over subsequently starting September 2015.

Magnolia Residences reflects Robinsons Residences’ unwavering commitment to “city living done right”—its guiding principle for its distinctive city condo developments. Robinsons Residences is the brand of innovative urban living solutions for today’s generation of upwardly mobile professionals and young families, under Robinsons Land Corporation—awarded as Best Managed Company in the Philippines for two consecutive years by EuroMoney.

The store will offer limited-release coffee blends—meaning only the rarest and finest coffee beans sourced from exotic locations will make it to your coffee cup, making the Starbucks Reserve® experience truly unique.

For the launch of STARBUCKS RESERVE® coffee, Starbucks is introducing the patented Clover® brewing system, available only in the Signa store. This method uses a trademarked ‘Vacuum Press™’ technology that allows digitally orchestrated production of the finest cup of coffee you’ll ever taste: a stainless steel filter is lowered to the brew chamber where water is added at a precise time and then brewed for an ideal length of time. The temperature is kept within 1 degree Fahrenheit of the optimal temperature, after which coffee is pulled through a 70-micron filter; hence, a wonderfully complex, made-to-order coffee flows, one cup at a time.

In addition to the exclusive Clover® brewing method, the Signa store will also feature brewing methods that deliver nuanced flavors, such as the ‘pour-over’ wherein coffee flows from the slender spout of a special carafe kettle (available only in Starbucks Reserve® stores) and the ‘French press’ (in use at existing Starbucks® stores).

The Starbucks® Signa store has been carefully and thoughtfully designed to allow customers to immerse themselves in the coffee experience. The dramatically high, six-meter ceiling; with full height glazing proves delightful natural lighting, while a singular wall is used as an amazing grand backdrop for the bar, creating the perfect visual canvas for the baristas to celebrate the Starbucks coffee journey.

A wall that showcases coffee beans at various stages of roasting, the roast spectrum is as much an art piece as an info-visual on the aromatic and flavor sensations of coffee. In addition, locally-customized Spanish tiles match perfectly with the warm tones of Philippine mahogany, creating a warm, welcoming environment.

Here, coffee drinkers can savor moments of connection with friends with their favorite cup of coffee sourced from the most exotic and most exquisite coffee-growing regions in the world: the complex flavors of STARBUCKS RESERVE® Finca Nuevo Mexico nurtured in a wildlife refuge; the intense and fruity sun-dried blend derived from a Southern village in Ethiopia; the deep, syrupy body and sweet herbal notes in coffee grown by Batak tribe members in Sumatra; and coffee extracted from the pea berries of Zambia Terranova Estate that achieves an orchestra of citrus aroma, apple, and vanilla tones, with a creamy chocolate mouth-feel.

The Starbucks Reserve® Signa store is just an easy stroll from Ayala Avenue down Rufino Street, within minutes from the trendiest establishments in Salcedo Village and the corporate offices in Makati Central Business District.

With the opening of the STARBUCKS RESERVE® store at Signa Designer Residences, developer Robinsons Luxuria strengthens its focus on uncompromising quality: from the condominium amenities designed by world-renowned creative experts Budji Layug, Royal Pineda, and Kenneth Cobonpue, to the signature coffee that tastes like a journey to the most exotic parts of the world.

Robinsons Signa Residences welcomes boutique restaurants

Robinsons Signa Residences welcomes boutique restaurants

October 06, 2014

Makati is the heart of business and commerce in the country, and it is also the epicenter of the distinctive lifestyle trends today, among which is the movement toward boutique restaurants and fine cuisine.

Soon, food connoisseurs will have more reason to lounge around the quaint neighborhoods and districts in Makati with the opening of three new upscale restaurants from some of the most innovative, young entrepreneurs in the country.

These establishments were especially handpicked by Robinsons Land Corporation in partnership with Security Land Corporation for the Signa Designer Residences, one of the luxury high-rise condominiums in Salcedo Village.

“Signa Designer Residences is the realization of living the high life,” explained Robinsons Luxuria vice president for business development Trina Cipriano.  “These new restaurants echo the spirit and vibe of Signa Designer Residences, and will be the highlight of the residential building’s mixed-use ground floor retail strip.”

HEALTHY ‘SPROUT’

Erwan Heussaff, Stephen Ku, JP Hernandez, Joel Poniente and Raymond Magdaluyo are the movers behind Mothership F and B Enterprise — the company that will run Sprout, Sabao and Bait’s. The same group is also responsible for the success of popular dining destinations Pink Panda, Hungry Hound and Niner Ichi Nana.

Sprout will ride on the global health-consciousness wave that has swept the country.

“The idea is to take restaurant food and offer it in the convenient casual format,” said Heussaff.

Another novel concept is Sabao, a non-traditional sit-down restaurant that will serve Filipino soups taken to a new level.

The idea for Sabao was derivative of the current ramen bar boom. Hernandez mentions that this edgy take on soup will likely attract Asian expats and visitors from Singapore or Hong Kong.

Bait’s, meanwhile, was borne out of a need to have a restaurant that specializes in seafood — such as Lobster Houses of New England, Clam Bakes of Seattle and Crab Shacks abroad.

The group envisions Bait’s to resemble the traditional New England-meets-hip-San Francisco atmosphere.

A portion of the main dining area will be partitioned off at night to become Lazyjack’s at Bait’s — a specialty bar where craft beers and cocktails will be served to the after-office crowd.

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.
