MANILA, Philippines - Thousands of pine trees and Tagaytay’s rolling landscapes served as the enchanting backdrop for proud homeowners and partners alike to witness the recent Grand Blessing of Brittany’s CrossWinds’ Grand Quartier Tower 2. Offering a welcome escape into the enchantment of a mountainside property, the much-awaited formal opening and turn-over of the units has drawn Manila’s weekend warrior into this haven where time stops and living truly begins.
At the Grand Blessing, residents and friends were treated to a special tour where homeowners opened their units for viewing and welcomed everyone into the weekend retreat that has become their second home. As the music of a bagpipe player pierces through the cold air, guests hopped from unit to unit while partaking of a spread of cheeses and deli favorites. In attendance were Camille Villar-Brittany Chief Operating Officer and Nova Noval-Marketing Head, Brittany who led the residents and guests in the blessing.
“We are very proud to offer Grand Quartier Tower 2. This day marks not only the completion of this property but it also serves as an affirmation for us at Brittany and Vista Land that the work we have been doing is well appreciated. This is the reason why we are now blessing Tower 2. Building on the success of Tower 1, we are continuing on this path because of the exceptional reception that the first tower received,” Villar said.
With the sweet scent of pine perfuming the cool breeze, fallen pine needles creating a lush green carpet at your feet, and the Swiss-inspired architecture calling to mind the snowy holidays at the Alps, CrossWinds is indeed an enchanting getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city’s concrete jungle.
Built on the crest of CrossWinds, the Grand Quartier Tower 2 is a charming mid-rise condominium that offers a breathtaking view of Tagaytay and its lush green terrain that has been a favored retreat of urban dwellers for generations. It offers enhanced studio units, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom residences that affords the luxury of Swiss living. Beautifully crafted and intelligently spaced, the Swiss-inspired units provide a grand view – both within CrossWinds and onto the greater area of Tagaytay.
Located along Brgy. Iruhin, Central Calamba Road, Tagaytay City, CrossWinds is less than 5 minutes away from Tagaytay Picnic Grove. It is about 7 minutes away from the Tagaytay Rotunda – the city’s prime hub where the most popular restaurants, activity areas, hotels and casinos are clustered. Tagaytay’s proximity to Manila has made is a favored weekend destination, with day-trippers choosing the shorter drive to this green city rather than a road trip to the summer capital in Baguio. Thus, more dining outlets and relaxation centers continue to set up shop in the area making the choices almost limitless.
The 70-hectare Swiss-inspired community also offers prime amenities including a swimming pool, view deck and pocket parks and gardens. Premium utilities include underground cable for power and communication, deep wells and water reservoir for round-the-clock water supply, and a professional management team to ensure that the property is well maintained.
Along with the Grand Blessing, however, CrossWinds – through its partnership with Hospitality International Inc. – will be offering its residents a unique opportunity for Grand Quartier unit owners. A company that specializes in managing and operating condo-hotels, HII is offering Grand Quartier residents a chance to capitalize on their property by offering their units for lease in the same manner that the top hotel chains are operated.
Luis Monserrat, president of HII, explained that the Serviced Apartment Program will allow residents to earn from renting their units while being assured that their property will be respected and well-maintained.
“We at Brittany are fully committed to this program. From our end, we will be providing the amenities needed to ensure that this will be a success. What we are offering, along with HII, is a new avenue which can only increase the value of the property, enhance this already beautiful development, and give an opportunity to gain revenue for the residents as well.”
“This day marks not only the blessing of the Grand Quartier Tower 2 but also the opening of greater opportunities for all our partners at CrossWinds. Indeed, there is much blessing to be thankful for. And we are proud to be here to make it happen.,” Villar added. For more information, call 8371400, 5841182 or visit the website, www.brittany.com.ph.
