Living a leisurely lifestyle

MANILA, Philippines - After enduring the grind of a fast-paced, high-pressure urban lifestyle, today’s young and upwardly mobile professionals deserve as much rest and recreation at the end of the day. Leisure options beckon everywhere to cater to this need all over the city: at fitness gyms and sports centers, spas, restaurants and cafes, cinemas and parks among others. Shopping malls and multi-use commercial complexes house all these facilities, but for the busy worker who also needs time to be home with the family, traveling to these places usually doesn’t fit into the schedule

Such premise inspired DMCI Homes to bring a leisurely lifestyle into the community following the company’s vision of providing resort-style living for the market of modest income-earning professionals and their families. At the upscale horizontal development called Mahogany Place III, these facilities are available 24/7 within the Central Amenities Area of development - a 4,000-sqm complex that houses a wide range of unique country club amenities that are sure to relax and rejuvenate residents.

At Mahogany Place III, respite is not a privilege — it is a daily offering for residents who can enjoy the amenities anytime of the day at their own leisurely place. Here, residents cap the day with a smile of contentment and peace, not a harried body that is wary of the next day’s frenzied activities.

Indoor amenities are housed at the Grand Clubhouse — a Neo-Asian sanctuary that mirrors the theme of Mahogany Place III. Modern architecture infused with warm Asian touches and earth colors imbibe tranquility, urging residents to feel cozy once they step into the clubhouse. And further into two-storey, 1,800-sqm structure, more surprises await.

The lobby lounge is efficient designed to host various seating areas and different activities, whether in small groups or even by one’s self with its private nooks. Beside it is the Main function hall with a bar and kitchen that can accommodate large gatherings of up to 250.

At one side of the Clubhouse is a Sauna, with two rooms available to accommodate up to eight people each. Adjacent to the Sauna is a Poolside dining area where residents can enjoy coffee and light meals with the view of the pool at their backdrop.

Within the ground level, there are service establishments that cater to the needs of residents, among them a mini-mart, water refilling station and laundry shop. The Clubhouse also offers Wi-Fi connectivity, so residents can work freely or surf the net to their hearts’ content.

At the second level, residents will find more amenities. Exercise buffs can work out in style with a view of the pool and the tree-lined main avenue at the Fitness gym. There is also a separate Dance studio which can accommodate large aerobic sessions, yoga and dance classes for an exciting, alternative cardio work out.

Young and the young-at-heart residents as well as their guests can also hang out at the Lounge area, Refreshment area and View deck - all these space laid out to suit their whims or they can play pool, board games, or darts at the Game room.

Upscale taste also deserve high-end treats, and at the second level of the Clubhouse, residents are sure to enjoy their own Mini-theater — a 21-seater viewing room with theatre-style seats and a 7.1 surround speaker system, perfect for private viewings with friends and family.

Beyond the Grand Clubhouse, the outdoor amenities fulfill the semblance of a private country club resort exclusive for the residents’ use. A varied list of active and passive outdoor amenities are available, including an Adult and Kiddie pool which are purposely defined for their target users, unlike other swimming pools that are mostly mixed-use. The free-form pool area is even equipped with therapeutic water jets, has generous space for lapping, and a passive leisure area for those who just wish to soak in the waters.

A Pool deck offers sunbathing and lounging options. For groups wishing to spend quality moments just basking in the outdoors, a Picnic grove and several Gazebos can be freely used.

Children can find further pleasures at the Playground or the Sandbox. For the adult crowd, an outdoor Basketball court can become the venue of exciting play. And for the entire family, several parks and gardens and a unique Landscaped amphitheater with plaza can be used for summer workshops or an area for gatherings.

Located within the vibrant Township Central of Taguig City, Mahogany Place III is spread out on a prime lot that occupies a generous 8.6 hectares. At this low-density development, young, upwardly-mobile professionals can de-stress on a daily basis with their best therapy partners: their family and loved ones.
