MANILA, Philippines - “Old” Sta. Mesa has earned its tag through a colorful history as one of the first districts in the City of Manila. Its name was derived from the “Santa Mesa de la Misericordia” – the owner of the land during the Spanish era.
Its “poblacion” or town center during the colonial period are the vibrant streets of Old Santa Mesa Road from Stop and Shop to V. Mapa. Today it remains a busy location, since the area is practically linked to major destinations around the metro such as San Juan, Makati, Mandaluyong and Quezon City.
This strategic location will soon be enjoyed by urban professionals and families through a new development set to rise in the heart of Old Sta Mesa. DMCI Homes presents Illumina Residences Manila as a prestigious high-rise condominium community that will be located in the quiet side of Sta. Mesa.
The key location of this district has in fact been enjoyed for years by the Filipino-Chinese who need to conduct their daily business within Manila, as well as students who go to adjacent schools in the thriving university belt. It also affords a convenient 20-minute back road that leads to Makati; 10 minutes to Manila and Mandaluyong, and 20 minutes to the Ortigas Central Business District.
Sta. Mesa also connects residents to major commercial points, such as Greenhills, SM Centerpoint, Robinsons Galleria, Powerplant Mall and SM San Lazaro. Residents of this district can pursue leisure options in various locations nearby without having to travel far.
Families can avail of their health needs at trusted medical institutions located nearby, namely Cardinal Santos Medical Center, St. Luke’s Medical Center, University of the East-Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center, and Lourdes Hospital which is right beside Illumina Residences.
Reputable schools and educational institutions are likewise accessible to the project site, such as Xavier Schools, La Salle Greenhills, St. Paul’s College, Central Colleges of the Philippines, and Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and Don Bosco School Manila (which is right in front of Illumina Residences).
