CrossWinds rises

Admiring nature’s unparalleled beauty is still the most relaxing activity that one can pursue. It eases all worries and provides stimulation for creative solutions to many of life’s challenges. It does not come as a surprise that urban-dwellers trek to Tagaytay every so often to clear the mind and receive nature’s gift of inspiration.

Surrounded by such breath-taking landscapes, maverick real estate developer Brittany Corporation has found the means for its CrossWinds residents to better appreciate nature’s masterpiece in Tagaytay. The Swiss-inspired property is literally on the rise with its Grand Quartier Tower I and II.

"CrossWinds has always been a very interesting property for Brittany Corp. to develop," said Brittany president Jing Serrano. "We have a commitment to nature and have worked very hard to guarantee that it is protected within our perimeter. Yet at the same time, we would also like to have more people enjoy nature’s bounty."

"To resolve this challenge, we are now developing mid-rise structures that would open more units for those who wish to enjoy Tagaytay’s breath-taking landscape, provide a unique vantage point to view this incredible sight, while ensuring that the structure’s architecture blends well with the natural environment," she added.

Launched in 2005, the Grand Quartier Tower I recently had its groundbreaking to signal the start of construction. Offering a choice of studio units or one to three bedroom units, residents can enjoy the Swiss lifestyle that brings back memories of Christmas and the warmth of a family.

Studio units range from 39sqm to 46sqm while one-to three-bedroom units range from 41sqm to 189sqm. The Grand Quartier Tower I also offers convertible units from studio to one-bedroom units or one-bedroom units to two-bedroom units without additional cost. Packages range from P2.8 million to P11.7 million.

With the success of the first Tower, Brittany recently launched the Grand Quartier Tower II. These mid-rise Towers I and II offer residents the personal space that they value amidst the serenity of greens and the calming scent of pine trees. Here, one goes to sleep at night under a canopy of brightly shining stars — completely unobstructed by smog and other pollution — and awakens to the sweet scent of flowers mingling with the fresh aroma of pines trees.

Just like the rest of the CrossWinds property, The Grand Quartier I and II take inspiration from Swiss architecture. Elements such as overhanging eaves, wood patterns, wide balconies all set against a lush green landscape provide a haven where one can truly feel at home away from home.

Amenities at the CrossWinds also include peak gardens, swimming pool, gazebos, a view deck, nature trails, and shaded walkways. Other facilities and conveniences include high speed internet connection, underground cabling for power, communications, and CATV.

"Nature has always provided phenomenal inspiration for every possible challenge. At Brittany Corp., we have taken this to heart and CrossWinds serves as an exemplary illustration of how one can develop a property while respecting the environment," Serrano said.
