The need to connect

MANILA, Philippines - Someday society will have to admit that Mark Zuckerberg was on to something when he founded Facebook. Whether you view it as an authentic gauge of society’s behavioral trends, or simply a colossal waste of time, Facebook, as well as other social networking sites have undeniably gained widespread support in the past few years, highlighting the need of many of us to reach out and connect to others; to form virtual communities that encourage, nurture and support their members in any number of ways; to achieve a sense of belonging in a world consistently plagued by a sense of isolation.

But if you ask anyone from Robinsons Land Corporation, it doesn’t take a Zuckerberg to realize that a sense of connection or belonging is an essential foundation in building a solid framework for a community.

For years, RLC, one of the premiere real estate developers in the country, has been building its Communities portfolio to foster the concept of community spirit and neighbourly camaraderie with each successful venture. With properties like Escalades at 20th Avenue in Cubao, The Pearl Place in Ortigas, The Wellington Courtyard in Tagaytay and the Blue Coast Residences in Cebu, etc., there is the sense that RLC is not merely building properties, but creating close-knit communities as well. And nowhere is this more evident than at Escalades South Metro.

The quiet little enclave just a few minutes away from the busy commercial hubs of Alabang, Makati and Bonifacio Global City is an inspiring study in community camaraderie.

With tightly-knit residential clusters interwoven around a country club-like environment, the property offers ample opportunity for neighbors to visit, get to know one another and enjoy each other’s company.

Young couples wanting to set down roots in a safe, secure and nurturing environment will see Escalades South Metro as an ideal place to raise their kids. Empty nesters reveling in their newfound privacy may find the property’s relaxed atmosphere just exciting enough to make life interesting. And even young professionals testing the waters of independence may find coming home to a master-planned community like Escalades South Metro the perfect remedy to a stress-filled day.

Escalades South Metro is near the Sucat Interchange, with access roads to C5 and the newly completed Skyway extension, not to mention a recently refurbished Philippine National Railway, whose station is located just behind the property.
