MANILA, Philippines - DMCI Homes recently said “aloha” to the first batch of residents who moved into their units at Ohana Place, the Hawaiian-themed, medium-rise residential condominium project composed of seven five-story buildings.
The company marked this significant milestone as it turned over the first building, Honolulu, last month to homebuyers. With this, DMCI Homes once again stamped its reputation as a developer of choice among today’s underserved market of young, middle-income families and professionals seeking a value-for-money condo property located within the metro.
The buildings of the development are named after key destinations in Hawaii. Their configuration even mimics the shape of the Hawaiian islands, reflecting DMCI Homes’ commitment to create inspired communities where residents can savor resort-style living as an everyday affair to counter the rigors of modern urbanity.
In October, the second building, Maui, will be turned over as scheduled to unit owners. Anahola is set for RFO status in February 2010, while Lanikai will be completed in April 2010. Kauai, Lanai, and Hanalei are also expected to be finished on schedule to complete this community of mid-rise residences elegantly spaced on a 3.14-hectare sanctuary located in the south of Manila.
The first batch of residents is now starting to settle in at their flourishing community. Beyond their units, they can now enjoy the medium-density propositions of their building, which includes a skylight and a central landscaped mini park appointed with benches and flowering plants. This feature allows efficient lighting and proper ventilation throughout the building,
They also get to enjoy the Central Amenities area highlighted by the clubhouse dubbed Luau Pavilion. The clubhouse was designed to exude traditional Polynesian architecture and influences, but tempered to suit the contemporary tastes of the target market.
Now completed to coincide with the units’ turnover, the clubhouse amenities are open to fulfill the daily recreation and service requirements of residents. These include a fitness gym, game room, receiving lobby, view deck, and an air-conditioned multi-purpose hall for social and corporate gatherings. Outside, the intricately patterned swimming pool has been completed, offering such delights as a massage pool with turbo jets, a kiddie pool, and a striking rock formation with water cascades and slide.
Occupying more than 6,000 sqm., the central amenities are ensconced in lush tropical greenery and exotic flora, and complemented by other outdoor amenities like the playground, basketball court, pocket parks, cabanas, and sunbathing deck.
The laid-back lifestyle is also supported by personalized assistance rendered by the Property Management Office (PMO) for various aspects of moving-in such as utility application, payment assistance, even extra services and conveniences such as garbage collection, water and laundry station and in-house convenience store.
DMCI Homes, meanwhile, announced that Ohana Place will soon provide a leasing program, wherein investors and homeowners can enroll their units for rental potentials. This provision is very ideal to cater to the market of lessees who will be coming from around the vibrant area which includes Alabang Town Center, SM Southmall, Madrigal Business Park, and Filinvest Corporate City, which houses a number of BPO offices, hotels, and the Festival Supermall.
Asian Hospital Medical Center, De La Salle-Zobel School, Southville International School, Las Piñas City Hall, and the South Luzon Expressway are all accessible from the project site, not to mention transport terminals and major thoroughfares in the South.
This potential market can also take advantage of the project’s security and exclusivity features, which are backed by the reputation of DMCI Homes, which has unveiled impressive projects all over Metro Manila.
Everything is now in place for the residents of “Ohana” (which means family in Hawaii) to live, relax, and bond within the community at their own leisurely pace.
