Braving Future Storms

The typhoon season is thankfully about to end. The proximity of Christmas and Pacquiao’s win in Las Vegas has helped to ease the memories of Ondoy and Pepeng. We almost did not survive that one-two blow that nature heaped on us. The holidays and Pacman will not, however, make the problem of flooding disappear overnight. There are many who now need to think twice about where to build futures homes or invest in the real estate market.

The three factors that should determine this choice is still—location, location, and location. Thankfully there are new and continuing developments that provide a location free or well-protected from floods; a location guaranteed close to existing centers of business, schools, shopping malls and services; and finally a location that protects your investment in the short, medium and long term.

One company that lives up to these three aspects of residential development is Moldex Realty Inc. Twenty three years of real estate development has honed the company’s ability to deliver quality houses and lots to a market hungry for well-designed residences in good communities, near centers of business, education and commerce and worry-free in terms of floods, security and property values.

Moldex was started by its founder Mr. Jacinto Uy as a plastics business in the mid sixties servicing first, manufacturers, then in the 70s themselves manufacturing downstream products mostly packaging. In the late 70s the company ventured into manufacturing for the building and construction industry. The move to expand to real estate was a natural one because of the company’s long history of careful planning and conscientious product development—Moldex’s Realty Inc (MRI) offerings have been both timely and appropriate for the market.

This conscientiousness has paid off in the light of the concern of most buyers. Safety from natural calamities is now one of the top priorities in making decisions to buy property. Metrogate Communities and Heritage Residences by MRI are located in prime and worry-free locations in Bulacan, Pampanga, Laguna, Tagaytay and parts of Cavite.

“Metrogate Communities” and “Heritage Residences,” are not just trademark names of MRI’s developments. They embody a philosophy of subdivision development that has redefined suburban quality of life by the trouble the company takes to assure buyers of aesthetically designed yet fully functional amenities, houses, recreational amenities, open space and service facilities.

Since starting in 1987, MRI has initiated a dozen housing projects in the North, most of these in Bulacan and Pampanga. To this MRI has added 14 housing projects in the South strategically located in Laguna, Tagaytay and parts of Cavite.

Two of the showcase projects of MRI are the Metrogate San Jose, and the Metrogate Spring Meadows projects in, Bulacan. Located in historic Bulacan, Metrogate San Jose is literally a cool and perfect location. This is because the large 108 hectare dev elopement is just next to the well-known Hilltop Lake in Norzagaray, Bulacan, which is also known as the “Baguio of Bulacan” because of its proximity to the Sierra Madre mountain range.  

Metrogate San Jose is complete with all the requisite elements and amenities of modern enclaves including a Clubhouse complex with multipurpose hall, swimming pool, basketball, volleyball and tennis courts, as well as parks and playgrounds.

For a more intimate boutique resort development Metrogate Spring Meadows covers just 21 hectares. It is supremely accessible to Manila as it is reached by either Marilao or Bocaue exits of the NLEX. The enclave has a resort-type clubhouse and pool, basketball court and playgrounds.

In nearby Pampanga, this template has been successfully replicated in the Metrogate Angeles. Quickly accessible from the ultra-modern NLEX, Metrogate Angeles is the most progressive housing development in the area with eighty-seven hectares of first-class house and lot opportunities and world-class amenities including clubhouse facilities, pools, and landscaped parks. The enclave is a few minutes from schools, markets, the New Angeles City Hall, churches, malls and the Clark Special Economic Zone.

In the south MRI has been busy. One of its newest developments after two successes in the province is Metrogate Silang Estates in Cavite. The development is close to Metro Manila by several access points including the Aguinaldo Highway. Metrogate Silang Estates brings nature together with modern amenities to create a warm homey lifestyle with the convenience of contemporary living.

This exclusive enclave is blessed with a prime location accented by five-star amenities. You can escape the hassles of city life in its Japanese garden and many open spaces. More active recreation is available with basketball, tennis courts and badminton courts where professional tournaments are held. There is also a verdant sprawling putting green. For the family there is a multi-level clubhouse adjacent to a jungle pool. Life at Metrogate Silang Estates is like one long vacation, with no pollution or floods to worry about.

You can get no more flood-free than in the high altitude of Tagaytay. Here MRI has opened Metrogate Tagaytay Estates, a 34-hectare prime residential enclave. The project lies close to the commercial, entertainment and restaurant districts of Tagaytay City. Of course the views, climate and temperature are magnificent too.

A stone’s throw away is the fully completed Tagaytay Southridge Estates. It is now a well known landmark and tourist attraction located along the National Highway, Barangay Sungay, Tagaytay City. Within this established community is the Tagaytay Southridge Villas, an initial and successful foray of MRI’s into the high-end townhouse project type.

Finally in Laguna MRI has evolved from its successes in Sta Rosa with the original Metrogate Santa Rosa Subdivision, with a new development in Alegria at Dos Rios in Laguna. The location is touted to be the new Makati and an opportunity for investment and location unsurpassed and obvious to those who have witnessed the progress of original Makati in the last thirty years.

The Alegria at Dos Rios development is a premium site that is made flood-worry-free by being elevated on fill. These precautions will leave you not only calamity-free, but also stress-free. The enclave is fast turning into an exclusive residential district for company executives and expatriates working in the nearby industrial estates. Already major schools, shopping centers and other amenities have been built or are in the process of planning or construction

Location, location, location — it is great to have choices. MRI has taken the initiative to ensure that any choice their buyers make will be one that is informed by proper construction, excellent design and freedom from the effects of stormy weather.
