The group of businessman Roberto “Bobby” Ongpin really pulled out all the stops to make a “simple” cocktail event truly remarkable. We’re referring to the topping-out ceremonies for The Residences at Alphaland Makati Place where the businessman gave away very special raffle prizes of one Balesin Island Club membership share worth P4 million, and two City Club membership shares worth P1.5 million each.
We seriously doubt if other topping-out ceremonies for other high-end property developments can top what Alphaland just did — which goes to show that RVO (as Bobby Ongpin is also known) doesn’t believe in half measures when he sets his heart out on doing something. Obviously, the by-invitation only event marked a milestone for Alphaland Makati Place, a “uniquely intelligent residential and leisure complex that features The Residences — fully furnished, state-of-the-art residential towers with units that can satisfy even the most discriminating.
Employing green and sustainable building technologies, each unit at The Residences is fully automated, enabling owners to control appliances even if they are away via the Internet. Motion sensor technology turns off lights when these are not in use, while room temperature can be modified with the mere press of a button.
The complex of Alphaland Makati Place and The Residences is virtually a haven for the green-conscious because it is designed in such a way that every detail is planned to achieve maximum efficiency and sustainability, with resources used efficiently for lesser consumption of water and energy compared to other structures with conventional/traditional designs.
