Better way of LIVING

The willful creation of an Italian-inspired community grandly rising at the south of Manila right before one’s eyes is a breath-taking sight that does not fail to move anyone privileged enough to witness its rapid growth.

Occupying over 300 hectares stretched along the Las Pinas-Cavite-Laguna-Muntinlupa Link Road, Brittany Corp. literally moved heaven and earth — re-sculpting the land stone by stone to create what is now known as Portofino, the new capital of the south.

"The Portofino development is a testament to what we at Brittany Corp. are capable of. We are proud to say that for our clients, we can and have moved mountains," said Brittany Corp. president Jing Serrano.

"We set out to create a masterplanned community that is like nothing anyone has seen in this country before and that is what, I believe, we were able to achieve. There were no accidents. Every last detail was the product of careful research and planning. And it is this level of meticulousness that allowed us to more than just realize our vision for Portofino but for it to become the new capital of the south as well — setting the standard for a better quality of living that the Filipino rightfully deserves," Serrano added.

Just 30 minutes away from the central business district of Makati and only five minutes away from the commercial centers of Alabang is this exclusive enclave where the word beautiful cannot even begin to describe the homes. Clusters, rather than rows, of Italian inspired homes set against lush green gardens paint a stunning picture of a community that is truly like no other. In many ways, Portofino can rightfully claim that it truly is heaven on earth.

A world all its own, the Portofino development includes various enclaves: Portofino Heights, Portofino South, Courtyards of Portofino I and II, WideLots of Portofino and The Masters Collection. The Italian inspired architecture features sun-drenched colors, cobblestones, charming arches, and a strong sense of openness that only comes with a thorough understanding of light and space.

Among its most important features are the casita where the master of the house can enjoy privacy, and an open area where the family can gather. Various amenities are offered for the pleasure of its residents a multi-purpose clubhouse, pools, courts, and other common property development features.

"Anyone who has ever stepped within its boundaries will realize that Portofino is not merely a cluster of beautiful homes. Portofino is a way of living. In fact, Portofino is how life should be lived — surrounded by a unique and successful blending of beauty and function. Truly, it is all the sweetness that life could possibly offer," said Serrano.

The entire Portofino development boasts of 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.

Portofino’s additional advantage is its proximity to key business enclaves. But even so, 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.
