MANILA, Philippines - A sizable crowd gathered last July 26 at the NBC Tent for Full Speed Ahead as Vista Residences launches three property brands: Camella Condo Homes, Crown Asia Residences, and Brittany. Launched five major projects - 878 España by Camella Condo, Camella Condo Homes Cagayan De Oro Homes, Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack, Brittany’s The Hudson at the Fort and Alpine Village. Vista Residences also announced the launching of 12 projects in the next 12 months.
Vista Residences spared no expenses for this major event, which was hosted by the charming singer/actor Christian Bautista, who sang the evening’s opening and closing numbers, accompanied by special performances by award-winning artists, like Erik Santos and Cris Villonco, and child star Chacha. Attendees were kept on their toes during the several raffle drawings spread throughout the event where they had the chance to win one of seven iPads, two iPhone 4S units, and the grand prize, a brand new MacBook Air.
Vista Residences is the condominium development arm of Vista Land, the country’s largest homebuilder. It was created for the Filipino who prefers the easy convenience of condominium living. The venture into vertical development began in 2004 with the launch of The Marfori Towers in Muntinlupa City, and The Presidio in Sucat, Parañaque, the company’s first residential condominium offering. To date, the premiere home builder has 23 condominium projects in varying degrees of development: completed, under construction, or expected to rise in the future.
Although Vista Residences is a relatively new player in this high-rise or multi-level property development industry, it have already displayed its space-planning expertise, as well as an intuition for selecting accessible and attractive locations, thanks to Vista Land’s three-decade experience in building homes, developing properties, and creating master planned communities. In addition, Vista Residences displays the company’s commitment to assume a chief role in this sector, creating greater awareness of Vista Land’s capabilities, as well as enhancing efficiencies in their resource distribution. The company has three strong brands that each cater to varying income segments.
Camella Condo Homes responds to the everevolving needs of the Filipino condominium owner: strategic city locations (i.e. close proximity to schools, business centers, transport hubs, and places of worship), that provide entertainment, culture, and history, while being available at affordable price points. To date, there are five Camella Condo Homes : CCH Taft, CCH Katipunan, Laureano di Trevi, CCH Taguig, and CCH Pasig. At the event, Camella Condo Homes’ latest project was unveiled: 858 España. Located along G. Tolentino street in Sampaloc, Manila, 858 España keeps the utmost convenience of typical college students in mind with close proximity to universities, like the University of Sto. Tomas, Far Eastern University, and San Beda College, while still being accessible to commercial centers, like SM Manila, St. Thomas Square, and Robinsons Place Manila.
Crown Asia Residences targets the uppermiddle income market segment. Its projects have set the trend in the real estate industry in terms of master-planning property design, features, and amenities. To date, Vista Residences has 10 projects under the Crown Asia Residences brand, such as Brescia Residences in Fairview, Quezon City; Madison Place in Cubao, Quezon City; The Symphony Towers and Wil Tower Mall in in Quezon City; Pine Crest in New Manila; Crown Tower University and Presidio in Manila; and The Currency in Ortigas Center.
The tenth project of the Vista Residences subsidiary is Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack, the most remarkable location of all of Crown Asia’s condominiums to date. It will rise on prime land, as it is located on the corner of Laurel Street and Shaw Boulevard that once was the home of former President Jose P. Laurel and Vice President Salvador Laurel. To pay tribute to the property’s significance, the elegant Laurel Mansion will become a commercial hub connecting the two graceful towers that will comprise Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack.
Crown Asia Residences’ newest residence will offer a view of the Wack Wack golf course — the country’s oldest course, also deemed one of the finest in the world. Standing right on Shaw Boulevard — one of the city’s major arteries — it will provide immediate access to Shangri-La Plaza Mall, SM Megamall and Liberty Center, as well as the busy Shaw MRT station and EDSA.
Brittany has been at the forefront in changing the industry and in modern Philippine society with a portfolio that remains unparalleled in the high-end segment of the property sector. Brittany was the first to conceptualize and execute communities that are rich in character and sophisticated in their thematic appeal. To date, there are five towers under the Brittany brand: Mosaic, KL Mosaic, Marfori, and Avant.
At the Full Speed Ahead event, Brittany launched The Alpine Village where the finest touches of the famed Swiss landscape paves the way for a whole new lifestyle. Complimented by the scent of over 20,000 pine trees cascading through the majestic slopes of Crosswinds,Tagaytay, the 100-hectare area of Swiss-inspired homes and enclaves will offer everything from shopping to leisure, along with a unique dining experiences headed by the country’s most sought-after chefs. Coming soon is a luxurious residential condominiums: The 1 Alpine Towers. Patterned after the quaint living spaces along the Alps, it will offer condotel services where weekend stays are cooler and investments are a welcome option. Future expansion renders the Alpine Village as a vital residential spot in the south as more and more living spaces are planned.
Also debuted at the event was The Hudson at the Fort. Exquisitely located at what has been dubbed the “Millionaire’s Row,” The Hudson at the Fort will lift the very select few away from the swarming bustle of exceedingly hectic Metro Manila while allowing them easy access to all its conveniences. Work, play, entertainment, health, and education are a short ride away –located in the BGC, the City of Tomorrow; as well as ingress to the city’s main thorough fares.
Named for and inspired by the graceful Hudson River that nimbly flows between New York City and New Jersey, The Hudson at the Fort will soon tower elegantly over the corner of 20th and 21st Drive East Forbes of the Bonifacio Global City, offering the country a glimpse of Manhattan’s verve and sophistication. Its “Big Apple”-inspired balconies will offer panoramic views of the teeming-with-life urban hubs that are the Makati CBD and The Fort, the urbanely viridescent homes of Forbes Park, the sprawling greenness of Fort Bonifacio with its golf course and expansive emerald grounds, and the eloquently soothing Laguna de Bay in the near distance. The luxurious 30-storey wonder will offer a limited number of residences, for there are only a few who can be so privileged.
Wrapping up the event was Vista Land founder, Senator Manny Villar who discussed the plans of the company within the next five years, saying, “We’re opening in 20 more areas within the next 12 months and tayo lamang ang may ganyang kakayahan.” He closed the evening’s festivities by addressing Vista Land’s brokers and sales representative. “We want to be the number one developer. Kapag pinagsamasama ang lahat ng condominium and house and lot, we are number one! Ladies and gentlemen, we are very serious. We want you to be with us, we want you to make money, we want you to grow with us. And we can assure you that we are here to stay, we’re going to get bigger, we’re going to get better, and believe me, we hope to make all of these things, all of these dreams come true, with you with us. Maraming salamat!”
