A new gem sparkles at 'Emerald City'

MANILA, Philippines- Muntinlupa City has rightfully earned its moniker as the country’s “Emerald City” in recent years with its steady growth as a highly urbanized city with a vibrant business environment and exciting prospects for leisure and recreation.

Strategically positioned as the southernmost city in the National Capital Region, it has consistently launched aggressive strategies to attract large-scale enterprises to operate in its business districts, most notably the Filinvest Corporate City and the Madrigal Business Park.  As next-door neighbor to the booming Taguig City, Muntinlupa has even spurred progress to this growth area, and is well-positioned to offer more opportunities for long-term progress.

Recognizing the flourishing developments within and around the city’s boundaries, DMCI Homes, today’s leading developer of medium-rise, resort-inspired communities for young families, is tapping the potential market of residents migrating south of Manila.  The developer’s latest project, “Rhapsody Residences,” is in sync with the demands of today’s homeowners.

Located along East Service Road in Barangay Buli, Muntinlupa City, Rhapsody Residences will be the only resort-park family condominium village in its neighborhood, an urban setting just outside the Alabang Central Business District.

This inspired development will join a thriving city scene already composed of some of the best commercial establishments in the metropolis, including the country’s premier shopping centers like Alabang Town Center and Festival Supermall; the towering Insular Life Towers, the state-of-the-art Asian Hospital and Medical Center, and the Northgate Business District, which specializes in hosting information and technology industries.

It’s all here: Rhapsody Residences’ amenities are in sync with the demands of young, start-up families.

It is also home to Barangay Alabang, which houses one of the country’s biggest and most affluent residential communities.  Two large-scale commercial real-estate projects that ushered development and changed the city’s landscape have also led to such recent citations as “Most Competitive City” and the “Most Improved City” in the Philippines. Muntinlupa reigns as a prime location, giving residents the convenience of a vibrant work environment as well as comfortable living spaces and a refreshing array of lifestyle options.

Rhapsody Residences is only 12 minutes’ driving distance from Alabang Central Business Dristrict. For leisure and recreation prospects, the Alabang Town Center is only 20 minutes away.  Festival Supermall and Metropolis Mall Alabang are 15 minutes away, while SM Sucat and SM Muntinlupa are both easily accessible.

A number of reputable schools are also located nearby such as Manresa in BF Homes Parañaque, San Beda College in Alabang Hills, South Ridge Muntinlupa, Woodrose Ayala Alabang, and De La Salle Zobel Muntinlupa.

Healthcare needs can likewise be availed at distinguished medical institutions, with Alabang Medical Center reachable in 12 minutes, Parañaque Medical Center, Ospital ng Muntinlupa, and Olivarez Hospital Parañaque.  Even the domestic and international airports are within safe traveling distance.

Rhapsody Residences can be accessed through the East Service Road via the Sucat Interchange for those coming from Manila, Makati, or Quezon City.  For those coming from the south, they can exit the Alabang Interchange and then drive towards the East Service Road.  Public transport service is readily available around the area.  The project entrance is only 500 meters away from the future entry point of the Skyway, providing future residents with a welcome option to escape possible traffic build-up in the area.
