At Portofino: The future, now

While patience is a virtue, it is also true that every second counts. In today’s fast-changing world where everything must literally be at the tip of one’s finger, time is undoubtedly of the essence and property development is not exempt.

It has always been the pride of maverick real property developer Brittany Corp. to be able to provide what its clients require long before they realize that it is a necessity. With its Portofino development, Brittany Corp. is offering the future of residential development right here, right now.

"At Brittany, we take our client’s future seriously. A large part of our responsibility requires foresight – to know what they need today and ensure its availability, to be able to identify what they would require in the future and provide it when the time comes, and pretty much to offer the future today. While other developers have yet to break ground, Portofino does not make its residents wait. It can provide most of its homeowner’s needs right here and right now," Brittany president Jing Serrano said.

"That, I believe, is one of the many advantages of the Portofino development. Just five minutes away from the business district of Alabang and 30 minutes away from the central business district of Makati is this beautiful, Italian-inspired, finely master-planned property – the only development of its scale today that is closest to these important commercial hubs and is ready to welcome residents without delay," Serrano continued.

Delay, without doubt, was thrown out of Brittany dictionary when it conceptualized Portofino. Apart from its proximity to key business enclaves, the development will also include its own commercial hub to ensure that residents would neither have to go too far nor leave the security of Portofino to be able to dine out, be entertained or shop for both luxuries and essentials.

Portofino occupies over 300 hectares of land along the Las Piñas-Cavite-Laguna-Muntinlupa Link Road. It consists of Portofino Heights, Portofino South, WideLots of Portofino and the Courtyards of Portofino – all fashioned after the ideals of the high life. Inspired by Italian architecture, dramatic details such as sun-drenched colors, cobblestones, and romantic balconies are among its most dominant features.

Brittany paves the way for another exciting and dynamic year as it launches Cezanne for public viewing last Jan. 15. Cezanne is the latest model to be unveiled among the series of Courtyard model homes. Like its predecessors, Raphael and Rembrandt, Cezanne also features a quaint indoor courtyard, a concept that is unique to Brittany Corp. It is an open, conducive area where the family can gather and relax together. With Cezanne, homeowners are given a choice of two layouts – one offers a casita or guest room, and the other layout provides a receiving area for guests or ante room.

Portofino offers premium utilities for its residents. To ensure an unobstructed view of the landscape, cables for power and communication were buried underground. Perimeter fences and buffer trees line the boundary lots to ensure security apart from the 24-hour system that safeguards the entire community. Deep wells and water reservoirs ensure a round the clock water service. Garbage is collected every other day. Most of all, a professional property management team secures the community and makes sure that the high standards are maintained long after the last lot has been purchased.

"While it is important to plan for the future, it is vital to remember that how we live in the present is equally essential," Serrano stressed. "Life is short and some things just can’t wait. At Portofino, you don’t have to."
