Serene urban living at Presidio
MANILA, Philippines - With Presidio’s towers named after the great masters of art, most of them from the Renaissance period, walking around the structures feels like a curated trip to the Louvre, Museum of Modern Art or the Musee d’Orsay; an assimilation of the aesthetics and evocations of the namesakes of the buildings: the grand masters of the arts such as Monet, Renoir, Michelangelo, Picasso, Da Vinci, Rembrandt, and Bellini. With Presidio’s commanding view of Laguna de Bay, these towers, along with seven others still named after masters of art, redefine the experience of community living.
Nestled in The Lakefront’s 60-hectare master-planned development beside Laguna de Bay in Sucat, Presidio offers the chance to finally settle with the pleasures of residing in a community that fosters holistic living while still attuned to the demands of modern urban life. Presidio at the Lakefront is the only quiet suburban city development by the lake. It combines the archetypes set by the suburbs in New York and Mediterranean countryside living: a breezy location complete with sprawling greenery, lush vistas and views, and the comforts of living in a well-patrolled area. All of this within minutes of the metro’s central business areas, shopping destinations, educational institutions, and hospitals.
In response to the differing needs of individuals and families, Presidio’s units zero in on the resident’s quality of life and lifestyle. The studio unit is ideal for creative types, ready to take on the place as a canvass for their free-wheeling imagination. The one- bedroom unit is perfect for individuals who are on the brink of their careers or couples starting their new families. Lastly, the two-bedroom unit is ideal for expanding families or even barkadas who want to take on the world together. It all boils down to this picture-perfect image of a community that’s diverse and vibrant, all for celebrating the good life.
Presidio’s city-resort life is part of The Lakefront’s 14 mixed-use enclaves. The rapid growth of the Parañaque area has inspired the bustling community that houses an array of distinct aesthetics (neo-Victorian, San Fransisco architecture) to a Filipino urban perspective. Modern demands take their toll soon enough but with a haven like Presidio, it will be a great home to come home to as it allows you to be closer with nature to ease your worries away.
It’s hard not to be enchanted by the 16-building symphony of Presidio, a hub of living by the bay with themed homes. The buildings of Presidio offer different ways of use and comforts. The newest tower, Cezanne is the first atrium-type building within the development. Named after the post- Impressionist painter Paul Cezanne, the tower’s unique architectural concept allows for nature to blend in with the surroundings, with spaces allotted for growth of different plant species. The building is also designed with special attention to air flow, lighting, and temperature to optimize the general ambiance of the environment, making it a secluded patch of modern paradise where the residents can relax after a hard day at work.
Presidio is located at the boundary of Sucat and Taguig. It is also within five minutes of Alabang, 15 minutes from NAIA, 20 minutes from Makati, and 30 minutes from Ortigas. Various roads and transportations also offer residents different ways to reach home: there’s South Superhighway, C5, the soon to be completed C6 (which runs from Bulacan to Cavite City and crosses Muntinlupa, Paranaque, Taguig and Antipolo), and the Southern Rail Transit System.
Residents of Presidio can also enjoy commercial spaces carefully edited to suit their varying tastes and lifestyles. Establishments within the Lakefront include convenience stores, shopping outlets, banks, spas, and health clinics. Some of these commercial areas are Puregold, Metrobank, Octagon, Pan de Manila, Jollibee, Figaro Coffee Shop, Dencio’s Bar and Grill, and David’s Tea House. And with Presidio’s developing community, the list of merchants and shops will also continue to grow.
Health and vitality is also one of the main focal points of Presidio, that’s why the development is also home to several community areas ideal to foster a tighter knit between the residents. Families can hang out in various function rooms or picnic in one of Presidio’s green and landscaped parks. Residents who enjoy active living can sweat it out in the gym or game room. It also has a two-level clubhouse that has a free-form swimming pool that could be the training ground for the country’s future Olympians.
Other developments within the expanse of The Lakefront includes The Mafori Tower, which gives residents a commanding view of the Sierra Madre mountains, making for an almost surreal horizon while still in the confines of the metro; the Marina Heights, which as its name implies, is a tranquil living space; Victorianne is a serene, Victorian era-community ideal for families; and The Wharf is home to the fine dining restaurants, entertainment venues, and other commercial establishments.
Practical conveniences, leisurely activities, and a safe and comfortable home: these are the things that come to mind when people mention a dream home and community. Vista Land, the county’s no. 1 homebuilder, is no stranger in giving Filipinos a chance to live the good life that they have always dreamed of and with Presidio, this becomes a reality that’s within the reach of your hands. Vista Land has been known for its prestigious name in community building; the go-to developer for people who want affordable homes yet boast excellent design and planning. Presidio’s detailed master-plan is an eduring testament to Vista Land’s goal of providing Filipinos the best homes to come home to, especially one that takes to heart a quality of life that’s at home with the best of what nature has to offer.
