The art of building communities

To most developers, the aesthetics and functionality of construction projects, whether it is a high rise or a community sprawl, is the most important consideration to the success of the development. But Antel Land Holdings, Incorporated (ANTEL) takes this practice a bit further, by packaging each project with a theme and lifestyle that fits perfectly with the needs of its target market.

Antel, a steadily growing veteran of the industry, has focused its enterprise on perfecting the art of building theme and lifestyle communities. This is a paradigm shift from the traditional developer practice of simply building and selling projects to ensuring that each project is packaged around a certain form of lifestyle concept that fits the area where the high-rise or community is located.

"In the quest to build the most modern, most stylish, most architecturally-sound and pleasing structures and communities, most developers tend to overlook one of the biggest reasons why we build — the life of the people who will soon occupy our projects. That is why Antel shifted its approach to not only providing the structures, but also providing a total package that includes a new lifestyle that can be enjoyed by our future locators and residents. We want them to create their new homes and discover new and better ways to live life in the buildings and communities that we build," stated Felino G. Lao, marketing director, Antel Group of Companies.

This goal has driven Antel into producing some of the most successful development projects in recent years. Among their most notable accomplishments are the 200-hectare Antel Grand Village in Gen. Trias, Cavite, which is touted as a urbanized oasis set amidst a provincial backdrop of small-town Philippines; and Centropolis Communities, which is an affordable high-rise resort and urban club in Sucat Parañaque created for those who love the life in the bustling metropolis. Antel’s other projects are corporate enclaves, built with the conveniences required by thriving businesses and companies.

Antel is already hard-at-work creating another theme and lifestyle enclave right in the heart of Makati. When finished, the 1.7 hectare development along Makati Avenue will feature a residential tower that will allow its residents to experience a lifestyle that is comparable to the features, amenities and services of a five-star hotel. The development will also feature a bustling mall and an entertainment pavilion, ensuring that all who live within the community need not go far for their shopping and nightlife needs.

"Our 18 years of experience has taught us a lot about what people look for in their community. This is what we always work hard to provide in all our projects, creating self-contained communities, where everything that they need to raise their quality of life is just a short walk or an elevator ride away," shared Lao.
