Sta. Lucia’s The Orchard Towers breaks new ground in Pasig
MANILA, Philippines – The much-anticipated condo development of Sta. Lucia’s The Orchard Towers has broken ground with Pasig City Mayor Maribel Eusebio as guest of honor. Soon to rise at the corner of two major road networks — the Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez and Hon. Benito Soliven Avenues — The Orchard Towers is a four-tower, mid rise development that offers city living at its best with its landscaped meditation gardens, jogging trails and swimming pools all set in one hectare of centrally located land in Manggahan, Pasig City.
In her speech during the ground-breaking ceremony, Mayor Eusebio welcomed the new development, saying, “I have come here to signify my support and to let you know that the city government is very much appreciative of your choosing Pasig City as site for your new development. Here in Pasig, there is now a sprouting of many condominium developments which we also hope to sustain with the necessary developments of the city. Congratulations on your new project and I hope that you’d continue to be a partner of the city government.”
Conveniently located right in the heart of the city, and just minutes away from shopping malls, schools, and business offices, The Orchard Towers is one of the newest and most versatile real estate projects of Sta. Lucia that is envisioned to become another iconic landmark in Pasig City. Sta. Lucia — built its first office in Pasig City in the early 1970s, initially developing subdivisions before diversifying into carefully planned and meticulously designed communities. The company has since built a solid foundation that has enabled it to pursue diversification, building residential communities that offer a sense of balance and harmony, where modern lifestyle gracefully co-exists with infrastructure.
James Aguila, chief operating officer of Sta. Lucia Global, Inc., summed up the kind of community they’ll be developing in the area, saying, “Living at The Orchard Towers would be like living in an orchard that’s located right in the heart of the city,” he explained. “We want this to be a development that cares about nature that’s why we’ve designed the whole area to have lots of flora and fauna around it. While other developments (in the area) normally only contain buildings, ours will be fully landscaped with relatively mid-rise buildings,” he said.
Modern and elegant homes
The Orchard Towers will have a total of three residential condominiums, a condotel and commercial tower that will artfully be placed around the community clubhouse. Each tower will also be bordered by landscaped gardens and shade trees, thereby further enhancing a lifestyle that relaxes, enriches and nurtures. Pocket gardens and landscaped lawns will likewise be put up, giving residents a peaceful sanctuary and a sense of being closer to nature.
Residential units at The Orchard Towers will be designed to fit the varying needs of its future occupants, with studio and Two-bedroom offerings all providing just the right space for newlywed couples and start-up families. Those requiring bigger spaces can simply combine adjoining units to fit their needs.
Security is likewise ensured, as both entrance gates at Amang Rodriguez Avenue and Soliven Avenue will be equipped with 24-hour security system and CCTV cameras. For added convenience, Sta. Lucia will also build a commercial tower within the community that offers a selection of shops and dining establishments, as well as specialty stores that offer a myriad of home-related services.
Those looking for a secure investment can check out any of the units inside the condotel at The Orchard Towers. Here, each unit is enrolled in the unique Sta. Lucia condotel system for an initial term of 15 years. Under this scheme, unit owners get a free vacation package equivalent to 30 complimentary room nights per year — which is transferrable across all Sta. Lucia hotels and condotels throughout the country.
