Did you know that condominiums costs 20 to 30 percent less than similar detached homes? There are many benefits to owning a condominium. This article addresses some of those benefits.

Condos have become an increasingly attractive home ownership option for singles, young couples, families and retired couples (that’s just about everybody!). A condo is a viable option for anyone who wants to own a home without the worry of repairs, maintenance and dreaded chores.

Condos are usually located in well established, proven neighborhoods. Giving you the opportunity to see where everything is before you decide to buy. Some condos are the same size as houses as far as square footage is concerned, and the accessibility is a little more governed. You have people closer to your condos so there is more of a chance that someone will watch your property while you are away.

You need an inspection completed before buying a condominium. Do not forget that when you buy a condo, you are also buying into the entire building in which your condo is located. As a co-owner of the building, you will be assessed your proportional share of the cost for corrective work required in common areas, such as the roof, heating system, or foundation.

Condominiums will increase your buying power. Condos usually sell for 20 to 30 percent less than similar detached homes. You will have all the luxury of owing your own home, but will be able to share the cost of upkeep on the building, roof, and foundation. For most buyers the choice is to buy a condo that meets their living needs or continue to rent.

Condominiums usually cost less to maintain than detached homes. The replacement cost of the high rise’s roof, may be more in absolute terms than replacing the roof of a detached single-family home, but the cost per owner should be less.

Condominiums have amenities that you could not otherwise afford, such as swimming pools or tennis courts, there own community center with exercise rooms and much more. Condominiums are ideal homes for people without children or some with a very small family.

After reading this article completely you should have a general idea of why buying a condominium maybe what you are looking for.

“We have weathered economic recessions in the past, we will survive this one, too.”

This optimistic declaration, uttered by the charming Roseann Villegas of Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC), reflects the general sentiment of this pioneering company which has remained one of the strongest contenders in the ever-growing real estate development industry.

Raoul Littaua, RLC’s senior vice president, affirmed that their Residential Buildings Division has been maintaining “the pace of its construction and turnover of quality homes to buyers while continuing to launch new luxury and middle level projects despite the challenging environment.”

“So far, none of the projects are on hold and neither are we downsizing any project,” said Littaua, adding that sales also continue to do very well. “The number of units sold is still increasing per year. We noticed that foreign buyers (mainly Asians and Europeans) are not just buying vacation homes. We are lately seeing them buying for investment purposes.”

Local buyers, he said, still make up the bulk of their sales.

RLC has already opened several of its residential projects. It recently launched upscale and middle-level high-rise residential projects such as Sonata, Trion Towers, Amisa and Gateway Regency. Two more high-end projects will be launched under its Luxuria Portfolio brand. Under RLC are four brands catering to different target markets: Luxuria, Robinsons Land (mid-segment, which is the company’s “traditional strength”), Robinsons Communities and Robinsons Homes.

In all segments, Littaua said, “We are doing well in these challenging times.” After all, he added, “property is always a good investment especially for prime locations.”

While other developers may have eased back on developing luxury projects, he noted, RLC finds this segment less susceptible to the global slowdown since it’s a small niche market composed of high net value investors.

“They still have to put their money somewhere and while real estate may not always provide high returns immediately, these investments are considered safer and more stable,” Littaua said.

Littaua credits RLC’s resiliency amid the global crisis to its mixed-use development concept, innovative pricing strategy and non-dependence on a single market or geographic segment.

While sales from the US market may decline, he noted that this is offset by RLC’s sales from foreign investors from other Asian countries and Europe, who appreciate the firm’s proposition of providing good value for money.

On top of providing its buyers with good value for their investments, RLC also has a strong track record of completing its projects on time and often turns over new homes to buyers ahead of schedule.

For its upscale projects in Bonifacio Global City, RLC said the Fifth Avenue Place is already ready for occupancy, McKinley Park Residences was topped off recently, The Fort Residences has just marked its first concrete pouring, while The Trion Towers already reports strong pre-selling and is expected to hold Tower 1 ground breaking this year.

In Manila, the first two towers of Adriatico Residences are ready for occupancy, while Tower 3 will be turned over to unit owners this year. The first two phases of Otis 888 Residences are also ready for occupancy and the third phase will be turned over to unit owners this year.

RLC also broke ground for its Amisa resort community in Cebu and has already begun pre-selling of units together with Sonata Private Residences in Ortigas. Construction for another Ortigas project, the East of Galleria, is already in full swing.

For RLC’s BPO and residential complex in Pioneer, Mandaluyong, the firm reports that One Gateway Place and Gateway Garden Ridge are ready for occupancy, while construction of Gateway Garden Heights is ongoing. Pre-selling for Gateway Regency has begun with its showroom at Robinsons Cybergate Center Tower 3 open for viewing daily.

The first two buildings for RLC’s Woodsville Viverde Mansions in Parañaque are ready for occupancy, Buildings 3 and 4 will be turned over to unit owners this year, while construction for Buildings 5 and 8 are ongoing.

Littaua said all these projects combined with the firm’s strong sales force ensures that RLC will continue to do well during the global economic downturn while ready to seize opportunities when the time for recovery comes. — With reports from DSV

MANILA, Philippines – In a move aimed at further fortifying its presence in Metro Manila, residential and shopping mall builder Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) is spending P10 billion to develop the old site of the Magnolia ice cream plant in New Manila, Quezon City into a self-contained, fully-integrated community.

In a statement, RLC said the project, The Magnolia Town Square, will rise on a five-hectare lot bounded by Aurora Blvd., Doña Hemady Ave. and N. Domingo St.

The project involves the construction of four residential towers between 36 to 38 storeys high, as well as a retail area and leisure facilities.

Trina B. Cipriano, RLC assistant vice-president, said TheMagnolia Town Square is the first master-planned high-rise mixed-use complex in the upscale New Manila neighborhood, and is shaping up to be a choice destination for young couples and start-up families who have always made Quezon City their home.

Of the five-hectare property, 1.7 hectares are devoted to the residential component to be called The Magnolia Residences, which will house a total of 1,500 units. The first tower, consisting of 434 units, will be launched this year and is targeted for completion in June 2014.

A one-bed room unit will sell at a minimum of P2.8 million while a two-bedroom unit is priced at P4.6 million to P6.2 million. Three-bedroom units, on the other hand, will sell at P9.6 million.

The remaining three hectares of the New Manila property will be dedicated to a shopping center to address the lifestyle needs and interests of residents.

When completed, the whole community will be filled with all sorts of indoor and outdoor amenities and facilities, among which are swimming pools for children and adults, game rooms, multi-purpose rooms, a Zen garden, a library, a fitness center, and children’s indoor and outdoor playgrounds.

The construction of the second tower, according to Cipriano, will depend on the sales take-up of the first tower and prevailing market conditions.

“We’re very excited about the project’s great location. We think it’s a good product,” Cipriano said, adding that once completed, The Magnolia Town Square will not only enhance the market value of the property around it but also transform the New Manila landscape.

She said the project is strategically located and easily accessible to various transport services including the Light Railway Transit, as well as various schools and hospitals.

RLC has commissioned master-planner RTKL to draft conceptual drawings for the commercial complex and Asya Design Partners to draft designs for the residential component.

The Magnolia Town Square is RLC’s sixth mixed-use development after Robinsons Galleria in Ortigas, Robinsons Otis and Robinsons Ermita in Manila, Forum Robinsons Mandaluyong and Woodsville City in Parañaque.

RLC has so far delivered 11 residential condominium buildings, with three more to be turned over by yearend and 10 in various stages of construction. Another five towers are currently in the pre-selling stage.

To date, the RLC portfolio includes 29 residential buildings located in key urban cities in the metro, and four hotels. The company also owns and operates 24 shopping malls and will be opening five more this year while its housing and land development division continues to expand in the regions, bringing its total to 33 developments.

There are currently seven office buildings located in various RLC mixed-use developments.

RLC is the real estate unit of the Gokongwei-owned JG Summit Holdings Inc., one of the country’s largest conglomerates with diverse interests in branded consumer foods, agro-industrial and commodity food products, textile, telecommunications, petrochemicals, air transportation and financial services.

MANILA, Philippines – It has been said that memory — that mental ability to store, retain and recall information — is a wonderful thing. In everyday life, it is that place, where we retreat to for all the things that make us feel good… about ourselves, about the people near and dear to our hearts, about this oftentime crazy world in which we live.

It is on the wings of precious memories that Robinsons Land Corp. is furthering its solid reputation as one of the country’s premiere developers of mixed-use properties, office buildings, residential condominiums, as well as land and residential housing developments. To rise soon in quaint New Manila, Quezon City, is The Magnolia Residences, the company’s latest high-rise, mixed-use development that promises to not only provide a lovely refuge from urban life’s hurly-burly without ever having to leave the city, but also stir fond feelings about returning to what may have very well been second home to many individuals.

After all, the four-tower Magnolia Residences will rise where once stood the old Magnolia Ice Cream House, the scene of many lovely moments of post-Sunday mass familial bonding over ice cream floats and yummy cobblers; of fun times with friends after a busy day at school; of important occasions such as birthdays and graduations and reunions that deserved only the sweetest treats that the city can offer.

With The Magnolia Residences, Robinsons Land is providing families and individuals another beautiful platform on which to create more memories to fondly look back on, new ones that will be no less life-affirming.

Plans to develop a master-planned gated community to what is now the Magnolia head office of Nestle Philippines is now underway as Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) recently announced its purchase of the five-hectare prime property from San Miguel Properties, Inc. (SMPI).

The sprawling piece of land located in New Manila, Quezon City is bounded by three major roads, the bustling Aurora Boulevard, and the tranquil and secure residential access roads of Doña Hemady Avenue and N. Domingo Street. RLC plans to build a mixed-use complex consisting of residential condominiums and commercial complex.

“RLC is very optimistic about the prospects of the project,” said RLC president and chief operating officer Frederick D. Go, adding that the move to develop the Magnolia property strengthens RLC’s position as the industry leader that develops communities which allows one to work, shop, play and live in one complete setting.

Once developed, residents of the gated residential community will enjoy the convenience of living beside its very own mall and the comforts of being near exclusive schools like Saint Paul University, De La Salle University, Xavier School and Immaculate Concepcion Academy. The property is also very near well-known hospitals like St.Luke’s Medical Center and Cardinal Santos Medical Center. And since the area is bounded by Aurora Boulevard, commuting to and from end points of Manila and Quezon City will be a breeze through the LRT Line 2 station.

The project is envisioned to be the first high rise development in the area that will bring a new beat to traditional city living while at the same time embracing the tempo of the serene and secure neighborhood that is unique to New Manila’s upscale neighborhood.

Recently, RLC commissioned RTKL, an internationally renowned master-planner, to draft the conceptual drawings for the whole complex while ASYA Design Partners, another reputable design firm, has been tasked to create designs for the residential component of the development.

MANILA, Philippines – For the single professional or the startup family, the many vertical mid-to-high-rise residential developments that now dot the landscape of the metropolis offer an alternative lifestyle marked by conveniences one will not enjoy from more traditional living quarters. Moreover, condo living is less expensive than buying land and building your home from the ground up.

Still, not a few view condos with reservation, primarily due to preconceived notions that condo living is a glorified version of living in a bunker, an impression that some real-estate developers have not helped with their boxy vertical developments and their cramped spaces.

Then again, there is Woodsville Viverde Mansions, an upcoming gated community in Merville, Parañaque, master-planned by premier real-estate developer Robinsons Land Corp., which redefines condo living for single professionals and startup families with compelling features, not the least of which is the fact that 70 percent of the entire development has been left open.

Within this expanse of space, seven distinct enclaves for wellness and leisure have been created, including Nirvana Cove, which provides residents with a peaceful sanctuary; Poet’s Nook for getting in touch with one’s inner poet; Nature’s Orchestra, with its Greek-inspired gardens, mini amphitheater and butterfly cage; Fitness Cove, for badminton and other fun ways to sweat it up to good health; Fun Park, for endless kiddie play time; Picnic Grove, with its fruit-bearing trees for family bonding; and The Oasis, with its Mediterranean-inspired clubhouse and beach-type swimming pools.

And, of course, there is The Village Mall, which now houses Robinsons Supermarket, David’s Salon, Mercury Drug and Dental Clinic.

All these add to the exceptional experience of living in Woodsville Viverde Mansions, whose units-whether studio, two-bedroom or three-bedroom layouts-offer the space and the built-in facilities/amenities from which the single professional or the startup family can readily create a home in the truest sense of the word.

Every society’s residential preference continually changes in this rapid era. In America for instance, the dream of the suburban family and the white picket fence that permeated the first half of the twentieth century, has been traded in for corporate establishments and apartment buildings. Few years back, Filipinos also started to dream this same kind of modern urban living together with all the overwhelming city elements that comes with it – transits, commercial centers and the fast food joints. Thus, the robust development of high-rise apartments and condos in the most predictable bustling locations in Manila and other cities took place.

But as times go by, what still remains unchanged is the endless quest of having that perfect balance of urban and suburban living.

Tagaytay City, Manila’s most sought-after weekend destination, is fast-becoming a promising residential location that exudes suburban charm and urban convenience – the same perspective that makes The Wellington Courtyard a premiere community. Generally, Tagaytay City has the power to offer the best of both worlds by having a quiet suburban setting and green pastures while being in close proximity to the city, relatively easy access to public transportation, shopping and other “city-like” elements. But apart from this, there is a plethora of other reasons why Tagaytay sets a perfect landscape to start a permanent residence or a weekend haven.

The Wellington Courtyard embraces many components that Tagaytay has been known for, and translates and complements it to its design and format. Being nestled in a 9,365 square meter property along Mahogany Avenue and Mayor’s Drive, it offers a range of grandeur and simplicity you can never find anywhere else.

Right at the heart of Pioneer in Mandaluyong City rises yet another prime residential tower that will soon add vibrancy to the already active and busy landscape of Robinsons Land Corporation’s emerging residential and business community which is known as Robinsons Cyrbergate City.

Gateway Regency is the fourth residential project of Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) in the master-planned complex. Like all of RLC’s residential projects in the area, Gateway Regency offers its future residents the benefit of being strategically located right in the middle of key business and commercial establishments and the instant accessibility to the city’s major modes of transportation.

It was two decades ago when RLC took bold steps in reviving the Pioneer area with the vision of transforming Pioneer into a center of bustling activity. Today, the previously vacant 6-hectare lot in the EDSA-Mandaluyong corridor, now has three high-rise residential developments such as One Gateway Place, Gateway Garden Ridge and Gateway Garden Heights, three office buildings , – Robinsons Cybergate Center Towers 1, 2 and 3 and an IT specialty mall, -FORUM Robinsons. With the recent addition of Gateway Regency into the dynamic complex, a more vibrant community is expected to unfold.

Gateway Regency’s central location makes traveling a breeze to and from the following major cities: Quezon, Pasig, Makati, Bonifacio Global City and Mandaluyong. As such, finding key establishments like private schools, modern hospitals, 24-hour fast-food chains, posh restaurants and hotels pose no problem for the active individuals who regard time as precious essential. Its accessibility to major thoroughfares such as EDSA and C5 plus its proximity to the Metro’s major mode of transportation, -the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) also makes it possible to reach the Ortigas and Makati CBDs in just 10 short minutes. Moreover, Gateway Regency’s prime location makes it a perfect home for the young urban professional and a wise investment choice for the rising entrepreneur.

But more than the benefits that come with living inside the carefully laid out development, Gateway Regency has its own unique project features which add vitality to the Robinson’s owned residential and business community.

The building and unit design of Gateway Regency is created specifically to fit the lifestyle needs of the modern and active individuals. One bedroom units are available for the single and young professionals while for newly married couples or start-up families Gateway Regency offers spacious two-bedroom units. Also, depending on your requirements, all of these Gateway Regency flat units can be availed through an affordable ad competitive financing package.

Facilities and amenities of Gateway Regency were also designed to suit the lifestyle needs of the active and mobile individual. The tower has WiFi Hot Spot areas that get you connected to the world 24/7 while reading areas have been appointed for those who seek to be updated with the latest information here and around the globe. Taking the stress away from the busy demands of work, are amenities such as walking paths, gazebos, barbeque pits, landscaped gardens and swimming pools. Future residents will also enjoy hassle-free parking because of the high parking slots to unit ratio of the project.

Experience life in the fast lane while enjoying life’s simple pleasures provided by Gateway Regency. Get immediate access to basic conveniences brought by the adjacent Robinsons’ owned residential, business and commercial establishments located within the master-planned Robinsons Cybergate City. Gateway Regency offers you a refreshing lifestyle experience while you take on the challenges of the modern world.

Robinsons Land Corporation, the country’s property developer of choice, offers another smart option for investment in the real estate market today. Gateway Regency, towering at 33 storeys high, goes beyond the function of shelter but serves as a practical investment for the future as well.

In the development of Gateway Regency, Robinsons Land took time to understand the needs of its target market. Thus it came up with the project that fosters posterity and ensures prosperity in the long run. GWR was specially designed to serve as the home that even the next generation would love or a shelter that can be source of income tomorrow.

For posterity

Nothing beats the comfort of not having to waste time in traffic; instead allowing more time to be spent on bonding time with one’s family at home. Gateway Regency’s primary advantage is its strategic location. At Gateway Regency, you can enjoy the pleasure of living beside Forum Robinsons Mall and be minutes away from work, leisure, entertainment as well as reputable educational facilities. With everything within reach, you are assured of a lifestyle that is secure and comfortable — a Gateway Regency lifestyle that you and even the future generation can definitely take pleasure in.

Or prosperity

Situated at the heart of the master planned Robinsons Cybergate Complex, Gateway Regency is positioned to maximize the space that its location offers while providing comfort and ultimate convenience within the fast-paced city life.
