Unusual enthusiasm marks the manner in which Cebu assumes an air of idyllic old-world charm and Pacific ease. Not without the considerable help of its strong Chinese community, Cebu has achieved a level of urbanization second only to Manila. Its complex heritage, rich culture, and most especially its lovely people have long fascinated foreign and local tourists, as well as investors and developers.
32 Sanson, Rockwell Land’s first development in Cebu, recently unveiled a peek into the first two-bedroom model unit that defines a desired choice for an inspiring community. As Rockwell sets out to deliver its distinctive lifestyle in Cebu , it brings on board some of the island’s best known names in the field of architecture, proudly Filipino, Ed Gallego, a veteran in the industry for 29 years and his daughter Mirella, who finished her masters in Architecture at the University of New South Wales in Sydney in 2011.
Guests were welcomed by Tong Padilla, Rockwell Land president, Valerie Soliven, senior vice president, Paolo Reyes, general manager, and Roshele Moreno, business development, at Rockwell Land Corporation.
The father-and-daughter tandem is working with Rockwell on the company’s first regional venture, building another world-class community in Cebu. An extraordinary residential development by a true visionary, Rockwell’s first project in Cebu promises to be another innovation, and the first of the company’s many masterpieces beyond Manila.
32 Sanson will feature an ideal mix of spacious one-, two-, three-bedroom units in its five towers with five storys. In each living space, provisions for the helper’s room, an extra bedroom, and storage areas are standard. The unit finishes have homogenous floor tiles for the kitchen, toilet and bath, balcony and maid’s room; laminated modular cabinet system, cooktop and stainless steel sink for the kitchen and engineered wood flooring at the living and dining areas and bedrooms. The amenities include two clubhouses, fitness center, two swimming pools, multi-purpose court, lawn and children’s play area and a long and winding jogging path.
Los Angeles-based interior design consultant Butch Valdez, who has been working with Rockwell Land Corporation for 18 years, has a style all his own, and it is perfectly displayed in his attention to detail. Valdez is passionate about panache and carries with him a prestigious knowledge of interior design history that inspires his design decisions.
At the launching, a jazz band set a laidback ambiance at the showroom’s landscaped garden where guests gathered around the well-stocked bar to marvel at the showroom while others enjoyed the evening munching on delectable canapés prepared by executive chef Marco Anzani.
