This is at the former site (or behind the former site) of the art deco Jai Alai building, across Luneta.

yung bakanteng lote na may mga malalaking bakal na sa likod ng adamson?

^^ Yes, that is the lot. Very prime and will offer unimpeded views of Manila Bay as no high-rise will (hopefully) be built within Luneta/Rizal Park.

ang gandang lugar, elementary at high school ang anak mo sa santa isabel, college sa UP, masters sa La salle, Doctorate sa UST, tig iisang ride lang

may render na ba, how many storeys ...? sana they'll make the most out of the location ... really unobstructed view of Rizal Park and Manila Bay ...

Based on the vicinity map , this will be located at the back of former Jai Alai building and not along Taft Avenue. Mayroon lang cyang maliit na access road from Taft.

nice sana more than 60 floors ito

No details at all yet. No renders. I hope they come out with the details and perspectives soon.

Oh, I didn't notice that, thanks for pointing it out.

maganda nga ito, i saw the property fenced and marked as DMCI property at talagang unobstructed view of Manila bay. Naalala ko lang na dati dito nakatayo ung Sky Room na isang art deco building na dati pa nga ngkaka-debate pa mula sa mga conservationist kasi nga heritage building ito.. pero ang sbai ng LGU ng manila eh may public purpose nga kasi gagawin city college of manila ata or justice hall to house the courts of manila na sobtrang cramped na kawawa naman ung may mga kaso.. tapos eto pala ngayon :(

Oh, I didn't notice that, thanks for pointing it out.

wait hindi sa lot ng former sky room? eh bkit ganun marked as dmci ung buong property?

nice sana more than 60 floors ito

an ad in sulit.com states that it would be a 41-storey project, but in DMCI website, there's still no official no. of floors nor a render yet

Wow! 41 storeys. Sorrel should be as tall as this or La Verti.

well .., di pa yan ang official (sana mas mataas pa :colgate:) pero kung ganyan nga eh, I think it's as tall as La Verti but taller than Sorrel ...

Resort-inspired high-rise residential condo ba kamo? Luma na yan e. :ohno: I still lament the fact that this building (another condo development at that) will be built in the former grounds of the iconic Jai-Alai building. DMCI could have done away with that tag just for this once, and banked instead on the architecture and history of the lot's former tenant and make it its selling proposition. Just my two singkong butas.

It has been discussed in different threads before. Nobody coud stop them in demolishing that beautiful green and white building. At least, we were glad when we came to know that Luneta Hotel would not suffer the same fate that Jai-Alai Building did. Time to move on. I think this DMCI project is worth the watch. Render must be better than good.

Apparently, someone did not catch my drift. So OK, we are better off moving on. I am curious with the development and I will look forward to the rest.

Those facing Luneta im sure will be sold out fast. Even if it is quite a distance from Manila Bay, views are most likely never going to be blocked. But curiously, why did they name it Torre de Manila? Tuloy, akala ko same developer eto as torre lorenzo.. hehe..

Maganda yung location. I agree sold out agad yung mga units na nakaharap sa Rizal park, and hopefully iconic yung design kasi nga kitang kita sa Rizal park. Bakit kaya di nila ginamit yung name na Torre Luneta?:nuts: or Rizal Residences?:D

:2cents:

yeah, aside from the good manila bay view, the sprawling view of Luneta is more than enough! Magkano kaya indicative pricing nito? Plus points talaga ang "almost certain" no view blockage - ang problem lang sa location is traffic lagi sa area na ito.. Anyway, u have a nearby savemore just at the groundfloor and LRT station so convenience is a plus as well.

Wala paring pics?

i only wish that DMCI would revive the old art deco facade of Jai Alai Building and transform it into commercial while it's "gas gas resort inspired community" be built at its rear portion... i only wish... DAMN MAYOR ATIENZA!!! for allowing it to be demolished instead of adaptive reuse of old heritage buildings we have in manila...

tama sana medyo classic ang design tapos 150m ang taas (hula ko kulay brown ito )???

maging mala-Admiral Baysuites sana ang render ...

Nope, not the interior for Torre de Manila. That's what DMCI agents (and others, too) do when they don't have official perspectives yet... borrow from other projects. :ohno: I hate it when they do that unless they state it clearly for the prospective buyers to know. They might as well simply just sell that project and not this since they used the material from that project, silly agents. Sure it may possibly be similar, but still the details would always differ that's why perspectives shouldn't be interchanged between different projects.

But hey, thanks for the effort anyway.

Madrigals monetize long-idled properties
http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/insideBusop.htm?f=2011/september/26/vicagustin.isx&d=2011/september/26

FRESH from having sold a never-developed property at Horseshoe Village-Santolan to Rockwell Land, the Madrigal clan has just disposed of another piece of empty land behind the ruins of the Jai Alai complex in Manila.
http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/4109/10feb001e.jpg
As to DMCI Homes, the developer apparently plans to capitalize on the proximity of the Jai Alai site to City Hall, Adamson University and the nearby schools and the LRT station as well as the property’s still unobstructed view of the Manila Bay (without the Roxas Boulevard premium) as selling points of the planned condo complex.

wwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

47 floors at nearly 170 meters i think, great view to luneta park!!!

yung drawing ay 42 floors lang, add 5 nalang 47 na

sana di nila alisin ang 13,22,33,44 at yung mezzanine di rin nila isali sa floor count

Usually ang tinatanggal lang naman ng DMCI in their projects is the 13th floor. All their projects I saw has 22, 23, 33 floors.. btw, why remove 22 and 33?

Parang there's something wrong on the design of the façade.
It's like the asymmetric placement of the sky gardens don't work with the old-world design of the crown.
How about placing the sky gardens in pairs, symmetrically, on every floor instead of having them only on alternating sides?

It's still the only perspective available, and it's not on the official DMCI website yet.
I wonder when will the official DMCI Homes website will update theirs.

maybe on the same day they'll have their official launching which is this coming March 26 ... I hope they'll come up with a better render ...

I'm very interested in getting one.

Hi thanks sa mga mg reply

Ano ba ung ideal flooor in choosing condo ?
Good location for rent out lng ? base sa nabasa ko perfect place daw itong torre de manila kc nearby sa mga schools

Im chooosing between amaia skies cubao na mas mababa ung per sqm
compare sa Torre De Manila.
kaya lng baka wala magrent kc malau sa mga school sa amaia

First investment ko for condo if ever n meron ako magustuhan with 1.8 to 2m budget lng
If mademolised ba ung building it means ba na wala na ung property or meron share ang bawat unit owners
Meron kc ako nabasa na ung mga condo ay lease property lng for 50 yers

Salamat s lahat ng mag rereply

pag 2M lang max budget nyo sir baka nga sa amaia skies cubao kayo makakuha.. as of now po kasi 2.2M ang early release dito sa torre de manila..

if madedemolish yung building my share kayo pa din kayo
don't worry ngayon po perpetual ownership sa DMCI homes.. di na lease property..

A agent told me the launch is in May 2012. How is the rental yield here going to be like?

May 8 2012 na launching date.. so many clients na gustong gusto tong project na to.

Anybody knows the place and time of the May 8 launching date ng Torre de Manila...Also, I read somewhere na patatayuan ng court building ang dating Jai Alai Building which will obviously block the view of the Rizal Park from Torre de Manila...I have no idea how many stories the court building will be...

Will the pre-selling start on May 8 or is it now ongoing?

Gemma, I wants to place my reservation soon para makakuha pa ako ng may magandang view since preselling starts last month ago. 30sqm at 2.2M is a good price.

Minsan ang basa ko dito "Torre ni David"... "Torreng garing"..."Bayan na ginto" :)
Ako naman Torre ni Eugene. :lol:

Love the location although I'd be leary because i wonder if it's not as much air pollution there since it's closer to Manila Bay also. Imagine if you open your window to get fresh if you live in one of the top most level. hahaha

May 8,2012 will be the day.. so many investors are waiting for this.. dami na nakapila with requirements grabe :) kahit uncle ko kukuha din dito..

actually sir, the top 6 floor is overlooking manila bay, below 6th floor although this no longer anymore facing manila bay due to the future construction of a certain court building still this is facing amenities. If you choose the back units you have to pick up the floor starts at 20th floor , and this is overlooking antipolo and makati skyline.

Well lady, you always have the choice not to answer those queries for ethical reason and to obey the rules. Again, this s a forum. Use other means, not the forum. I hope you undertand that.

Mr. alexbam, we do respect the forum kaya nga hanggang invitation and exposure lang naman ang ginagawa namin dito at wala kaming malisyosong ginagawa...

Again, invite your prospects by other means. This is a forum.

Buti pa si mr.carlo he responds to queries via pm and email. Pero yung isa dito may pagka-BALAJ ang paglako ng condo. Hello skyscrapersulit.com?

What is the price for 1BR Type B and 2BR Type B facing Rizal Park at 32th floor?

The floor layout has similarities with DMCI's Sorrel Residences, except that Sorrel doesn't have the sky patio

nice renderings and 6 elevators at that - how generous of DMCI!!!!

By the way, kamusta ang May 8 launching nito? How are the unit sales? Is it as fast or faster than its nearby sister project - La Verti?

Today is supposed to be the tagging of units but it was postponed again :)

What is the price for 1BR Type B and 2BR Type B facing Rizal Park at 32th floor?

good thing na hindi nila tinaas yung price ng mga units.. nasa 3,264,000 lang ang 2br + closing fees and the 150k Finishing works for 2 br..

good thing na hindi nila tinaas yung price ng mga units.. nasa 3,264,000 lang ang 2br + closing fees and the 150k Finishing works for 2 br..

what do u mean by the 150K finishing works for 2br? Is this a new charge from DMCI? I suppose they've removed the 150K finishing work charges from the TCP para it will still pass as a non VAT unit.. tama ba?

Here it is

"Please be informed that the advance tagging for TORRE DE MANILA reservation will start on MAY 14, 2012 (Monday) from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm at Client meeting room 5, DHCC lobby.

· Registration will start at 8am. Lottery will begin at exactly 9:01 am."

yes hiwalay ng contract yung finishing works.. pero ang iisue is receipt for the finishing works..
150k for the 2 br payable until construction period.. 54 months..

Really? I haven't seen this yet for 3.264M units. As I understand it, the TCP will always be less than the 3.199M VAT threshold due to the 2% PDC discount making it 3.198M. But if that is how it's going to be done, it makes sense, just like the drying area contracts for mid-rise.

Is this all concrete partition for the individual units?

Thank you. The project is interesting. Wonder if the units facing Rizal Park will sold out in first week or not.

i wouldn't be surprised if the Rizal Park units ay sold out agad.. based on the price list above - mukhang same price lang ang both rizal park and makati view units...

I guess talagang hiniwalay ng DMCI ang "finishing works" worth 150K para makaiwas sa VAT... first time lang ako makarining ng ganito.. buti hindi masilip ito ni Kim Henares. lol

ano ung "finishing works"? eto ba ung 4% nung TCP? ung mga other fees?

ano ung "finishing works"? eto ba ung 4% nung TCP? ung mga other fees?

No, Finishing works is the paints ,flooring,kitchen sink,etc. Standard deliverables pa din
4% closing fee- if isasabay mo yung siya sa monthly DP mo.. ( Transfer fee ,doc stamp etc)

Today is the tagging of units sa Torre De manila.. 85+ nag pa register na agents BATCH 1.. 1 agent can only reserve 4 units.. ubos agad mga 2 br Facing Luneta/amenities..

for batch 2 40+ agents/brokers nakita ko sa paper.. kaso mukhang bukas na sila :nuts:

congrats DMCI! I can imagine the chaos sa office ng DMCI ngyn -- kaya hindi ko maistorbo yung agent ko today - ngarag siguro sa unit tagging today.

6am palang madami ng agents/brokers dito.. grabe.. CHAOS TALAGA hanggang mamayang gabi pa to.. nasa pang 40 agent palang sila until now.. yung iba pang agent dyn 4 na units pinapasok..

Mas Pinaka mababang Price rage ng condo ngayon sa Metro Manila

eh Amaia Skies by Ayala Land's standards of excellence and unmatched track record.

Only P1.2m Studio Type
Or 66,666.00 per sqm

:banana::banana::banana:

actually sa studio mababa nga but if you have to compare with the Torre De Manila it will cost you P60,886. per sqm only FOR 2BR UNITS, near sa Bnondo wherein ang per sqm within Binondo area nagrarange na ng 150K per sqm...Still Torre De Manila by DMCI Homes is truly affordable and yet quality in craftmanship..isama pa dyan ang pagiging PERPETUAL OWNERSHIP.

2BR unit P3.350M included the finishes works.

Bakit sobrang bilis mabenta ng units sa Torre de Manila???Selling like a hotcake, in a span of 25days after the launching date May 8, 2012, parang nasa 40% na ata ang sold out units!!!..:cheers: www.thedmciproperty.com

Carlos Celdran ranted about this on his FB profile, about the blight it will cause. He basically told people not to invest in this project as it will ruin the already blighted areas surrounding the park. not to mention the photobomb it may cause behind the Rizal Monument.

Well, did anyone forgot about the ugly smokestacks along Pasig river, behind the San Marcelino district? do they still exist?

That is bad marketing i'm telling you. lol

Wow. Whoever invested in this project aren't true Filipinos at all. Complete disregard for heritage, not to mention an overwhelming lack of taste. The building is hideous.

just found out recently why manila allowed this or any other building to build behind rizal memorial.. apparently many Chinese tourist, who believe in feng sui said that behind rizal memorial you can see two chimney like jos sticks. And in chinese 2 jos sticks is for the dead.

Damn ang pangit na ng view:ohno:

I was also thinking of the same thing. It may not look good when looking from Roxas Blvd, but the people in that building may have a good view themselves of the park and manila bay.. still sad though, better take pictures of Rizal shrine right now before the rise of Torre De Manila.

Carlos Celdran takes to Facebook to block condo project
By Jerome Aning
Philippine Daily Inquirer
11:49 pm | Sunday, June 10th, 2012

http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/553436_10151007628711131_1017703981_n.jpg (http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/553436_10151007628711131_1017703981_n.jpg)

Cultural and environment activists are trying to enlist public support to block the construction of a high-rise condominium building that they claim will destroy the public’s view of the Rizal Monument in Rizal Park.
Tour guide Carlos Celdran has initiated an online petition and has even put up a Facebook page to call on DMCI Holdings to abandon its plan to build the 41-story Torre de Manila Condominium on Taft Avenue, behind the lot previously occupied by the Manila Jai Alai building.
In his posts on Facebook and another social networking site, Tumblr, Celdran said, “It is outside [the park] but it impedes on the sanctity of the heritage landscape. You think any mayor or developer in Paris would allow an ugly private condo to be built right behind the Eiffel Tower? I’m sorry. But they should find a new lot. This looks like an interesting legal battle for the new law [on national heritage sites].”
In the online petition (http://www.change.org/petitions/no-to-dmci-s-torre-de-manila-project), the condominium project was compared to the two factory chimney stacks (demolished in 2009) that had also ruined people’s view of the Rizal Monument.
Celdran called on Filipinos to speak up about the future building and for DMCI to rethink the project.
“Not only is this building offensive to our national hero, our national identity and all things good and true—but it’s also a ridiculous investment,” he said as he warned prospective buyers about traffic and the possibility of losing view of the Manila Bay sunset since the building was on “sandwich property” or in the center of the block.

Na demolish na yata yung chimneys nung 2009 pa

yes, those 2 chimneys are gone already. But it will be replaced by this building :no:

read up! Read what a lawyer has to say about it Torre de Manila:

Sa larangan ng heritage protection, ito ay malaking kabastusan. Wala dapat itinatayong gusaling nakakaapekto sa biswal na pagpapahalaga ng isang mahalaga or maksaysayang lugar o gusali. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit walang mga tindahan or shopping mall sa Washington DC federal mall. Puro mga gusaling pang gobyerno lamang. At walang pinapapasok na gusaling hindi tumutugma sa mga makakatabing gusali.

I:) I've bought a unit on the 44th floor, yes its up to 46th floor, feeling awful just reading your comments.

Can anyone translate that in English?

uh, here's a rough translation I've made. hope this is right. :D

In the field of heritage protection, this is a disgrace. There should be no structures that will affect the visual appreciation of an important or historic place / structure. This is the reason why there is no shops or shopping malls at Washington DC Federal Mall. Only Government office buildings. And no structures not complementing its neighboring buildings.
- Atty. Trixie Cruz-Angeles

uh, here's a rough translation I've made. hope this is right. :D

spot on!

Thanks for the translation. That why I hesitate to invest in this project in the first place.

This is a very good addition to the city, I hope they erect more buildings around Rizal Park to give it a Central Park, NYC kind of feel.



:horse:

Actually I am more concern about security and other related issue. Because it is so iconic, it is always a place for big gathering or events. Going home and going out will be a problem..example the iglesia ni cristo event. Traffic jam, security police or barricade.

Or if there is going to be a unfortunate hostage event there, Torre De Manila will stick it like a sore thumb, what do you can happen? Maybe I think too much?

I prefer a quiet and peaceful place far from crowd and still convenience for other amenity. hee

problem is, Rizal Park was designed as the equivalent of Washington DC's Mall, not as what it has become, like that of NYC's Central Park. A real identity crisis for the grandaddy of all pinoy parks, isnt it.

Or if there is going to be a unfortunate hostage event there, Torre De Manila will stick it like a sore thumb, what do you can happen? Maybe I think too much?

I prefer a quiet and peaceful place far from crowd and still convenience for other amenity. hee

I hope not too! But Philippines is not exactly known for being safe especially in that part of town at night too in my opinion. I might be wrong too.

:banana::banana: i HOPE not!

problem is, Rizal Park was designed as the equivalent of Washington DC's Mall,
not as what it has become, like that of NYC's Central Park...

This 47 storey Torre de Manila is one of the first and certainly wouldn't be the last high rise edifice
to sprout and soar just outside the perimeter of this historic and unique 54 hectare urban park.






:horse:

the old GSIS building just across SM Annex will be tear down soon if ever some private entity bought the property for development. Now we have another historical site issue goin on. What's really happening to our ZONING plans and really whats wrong with our city engineers? Are there any urban planner residents here in SSC? How about the National Historical Commision (tama ba)? Hindi ba nila sakop ang issue na ito ng Torre de Manila? Although im not against sa DEVELOPMENT ng ating syudad, pero i think we should also follow proper zoning. Hindi naman kasi tayo pwede tayo lng ng tayo ng structures kung saan saan eh.

^^ all for money jhomai. That's the disgusting reality in Manila right now. :bash:

the tower is gonna be a major photobomb for Rizal Monument tourists

I was actually hoping to purchase a unit here..thinking that everything about this project is great.. I actually consider Torre de Manila as one of DMCI's best..and far superior compared to their other projects..But now I realize that yeah, right...It will be a disaster to Rizal Monument's background.. I hope they just transfer this same project to another location to satisfy the issue of Heritage/Cultural Preservation 'cause overall, I really think this project is worth the investment. :cheers:

Nasaan na ang mga nagrally sa SM Baguio? Dalhin sila sa Luneta!

the tower is gonna be a major photobomb for Rizal Monument tourists

the monument already have highrises- left & right... we should at least preserve the background... i think torre de manila looks better on roxas blvd

we need to get our shots soon like this one ....with DR.J while it last! so you can show it to your grandchildren,

o mga apo heto ako at ang monumento ni rizal noong unang panahon bago itinayo ang mga highrise sa likuran

I agree! seeing the perspective of the said project I can say that it's great but come on, can't we just have it relocated? Lahat naman siguro is aiming for developments but it's just in the wrong place. At least give some respect sa bantayog ni Rizal.

Isa ako sa mga nagpareserve ng units sa Torre De Manila, 3 weeks after naopen sa mga publiko yung project, 50% ay nabili na agad, wala ng tirang 2 br unit magmula 26th floor facing Luneta dahil ubos na agad.

And hindi ko lang alam is, kung magiiba man ang isip ng DMCI, ibabalik kaya sa amin yung pera? DO you think it's too late? Hindi ko na alam ngayon... sa totoo lang...

hindi ako sang-ayon na magpapatayo ng building sa Luneta....pera-pera lang ba talaga?

Damn ang pangit na ng view:ohno:

i totally agree.........i hope the city of manila will cancel this project :ohno:

i want this development to continue, just not there

more people are noticing

This condo project is nice. Money wise, its location is nice, but is not appropriate

Hahahaha... :nuts:

Funny photos! But now i see the whole point.. :lol:

However, looking at DMCI's perspective, hindi ba parang mali din ang scale nila? Remember, there's Taft Avenue and LRT that separates Luneta and their site. And they even have a large setback in front? Based on their perspective parang ang lapit-lapit nya sa Rizal monument.. But yeah, regardless if it's near or far, still, it's not a good background for Rizal..

Pano pag nilipat tong Torre De Manila sa ibang lugar? Will unit owners still get their units? Will DMCI refund the unit owners? Papayag kaya ang mga unit owners na ilipat ang condo nila???

Same here. Issued already the reservation cheque, got 2 BR in 45th floor facing Luneta, then last minute, we backed out and withdraw the reservation since there was a change in our plan. This is not even considering this issue. Now I realize why it did not push through.

I agree that the project is good and the intro price was really a good bargain, but considering this issue, I hope DMCI, being a Triple A builder/developer will find ways to address the matter. After all, cultural heritage should be preserved, and this is the first in line, being within the 0 (zero) kilometer radius.

Taken from Carlos Celdran's blog :

DMCI: The Terror de Manila

One step forward. Two steps back.

Never have I seen Luneta so clean and so full of hope. Thanks to the efforts of Jett Villegas, the fountains of Rizal Park finally work, the grass is being replaced, and the long abandoned waterfall is being repaired.

Even those nasty smokestacks, which have blighted the sightline of our national hero’s monument for decades has finally been demolished. Today, the sightline of the Jose Rizal has never been so perfect.

But not for long. If DMCI Holdings has their way, they’re gonna build a huge mid-range condominium complex RIGHT behind our national hero. The project is called Torre de Manila. So from hereon, everytime you take a photo or look at our National Hero and think of him - you will also take in the sight of this Terror of Manila.

I mean, not only is this building offensive to our national hero, our national identity and all things good and true - but it’s also a ridiculous investment. Think about it, this building is gonna be built in a lot SANDWICHED behind the former Jai-Alai lot FORTY meters AWAY from Taft Avenue itself. WHOA. Think about the traffic, the congestion and the inconvenience of going through that driveway just to get to the road.

Not only that, for those who SPEND more for the front units facing the park, your window view is NOT assured at all. You are in a sandwich property. If the property fronting the Terror of Manila is developed, your view will be immediately taken away. There goes your extra investment. Poof.

And finally, for Filipino-Chinese investors, why buy there when it faces west directly towards a GRAVE (Rizal Monument) and the massacre grounds of the HK hostage crisis of 2010? It’s a feng shui disaster.

Seriously, this project is a perfect storm of BAD ideas - both in this world and the next.

I implore fellow Filipinos to speak up about this and have DMCI rethink this project. Not only are we on to them but we refuse to have ANYTHING that they build ruin the sanctity of the Rizal sightline forever.

Ok na sana yung argument ni Carlos Celdran against the tower ruining the Rizal monument, but sana he didnt argue na about it being a poor investment for the buyers (kasi arguable pa ito - like for me i believe this is one good investment). Sana nagstick nalang siya sa main issue that this will ruin our foremost treasured monument!

I wonder ano na plans ng DMCI dito... It's a big risk on their part to continue with the construction.. Kasi malamang, as they build the bldg structure taller and taller, the more na mas visible sa mga tao on how it will ruin the rizal monument skyline - the louder the calls will be for the construction to stop. So dapat ngayon palang linawin na nila sa govt if they'll have the clearance or not to continue with the development.

This 47 storey Torre de Manila is one of the first and certainly wouldn't be the last high rise edifice

Hindi saklaw ng issue yung pagpapatayo ng mga buildings sa paligid ng Rizal Park. The fact is may mga naitayo nang high-rise along T.M. Kalaw. Even beside the Luneta Hotel, which is noted for its French Renaissance architecture. Wala naman kasing batas na nagbabawal dito. Ang issue lang naman ay yung vista sa monumento ni Rizal. Hindi kasi naiintindihan ng nakakarami ang halaga ng intangible quality na ito. Basta malaking project at mukhang kumpleto naman ang requirements, aaprubahan ng building official. Hindi na iniisip yung mga ganitong bagay na dapat bigyang pansin lalo na sa isang makasaysayang lungsod tulad ng Maynila.

Another thing about this issue that disturbs me is that, from what i know, the land was owned by the city government. Remember Atienza's demolition of the Jai Alai Building to build a hall of justice? It's the same lot. Ang ibig kong sabihin ay pinagkakitaan ng city government ang project na ito. Think of the value of that lot being across Rizal Park and in the Malate-Ermita area. They must have made a lot of money from this transaction. Isa pa, there's also news that the city government plans to demolish the GSIS Building across SM Manila to build a hall of justice. Wouldn't it have made more sense to just build on the lot already bought for that very purpose, instead of buying another building and demolishing that building to build the hall of justice?

I guess there's NO WAY to stop this project.. Just talked to a DMCI Agent in Megamall this afternoon and asked if they heard the news about the Historical Preservation issue and the on-line rallies to stop this project. The agent told me that they are not aware of the issue and was even proud to say that Torre de Manila is their fastest-selling project as of the moment.. In fact, she even offered me other projects (Sorrel Residences & Arista Place) because she doesn't have an updated copy of available units in Torre de Manila and is not sure if she can guarantee the availability of any unit. She told me that if I'm really interested in this project, she can call the main office of DMCI to check what units are still available.

So there...it's confirmed! Torre de Manila is soon to rise (maybe even earlier than expected!).. :applause: :nuts:

Syempre taga DMCI siya, hindi sasabihin ng DMCI management sa kanilang mga agent na may issue regarding sa Torre de Manila project nila. The rest is sales talk.

Basta binigyan ng permit ng Manila government, wala nang makakapigil pa. that's the most disgusting action that we must hardly accept

^^

and the person you talked to is from DMCI, of course that agent will just tell all the positive things about what they are selling. You wouldn't find someone selling a house to you and telling that theres a leak in the faucet, broken roof tiles, and stuff. -- Sales talk. :)

It can be stopped if the Supreme Court says so.

oh Hi there. We meet again, how did you cope up with the bashing on Interaksyon.com page? :lol: :troll:

yes, we do have a dvelopment permit from the mayors office, pasok kami sa height limit, actually we are 800 meters away from Luneta.

800 meters from Luneta but still the building is still very visible within the Rizal monument sightline

I bet when DMCI got its clearance, the Manila City Hall wasn't able to foresee that it could ruin the Rizal Monument and that there would be some clamor against this - hence they issued the clearance. As the bldg structure is built taller, the stronger the clamor will be, the Supreme Court will eventually stop the construction due to public demand. A big risk for DMCI and its investors if they will continue with this project.

I think this building project is unstoppable. Ayun, nasabi ng taga dmci may permit sila from Mayor.

Still got 4 years for them to stop it. The worse part is building is near completion and them got stopped. Rather stop now or never.

You have a point here, Hindi naman siguro ipapatayo ng DMCI (http://www.dmcihomes.com/) ang ganitong klase ng development kung walang kaukulang permiso o pag aaral. They are professionals and knows what they are doing. Instead, pakinggan na lang muna natin ang panig ng developer mula sa issue na ito.

Whats happening now is just the start, expect more protests and controversies especially when construction begins. Ang kawawa yung mga investors kc there will be surely some delays if and when the clamor from the public against this condo gets too strong for the city gov't of manila to ignore. Baka just to appease the public (the voters hehe) they might make life hard for DMCI which directly affects the investors.

Yes, there will be protests and a barrage of people who would be standing against this condominium building but I think they would still go ahead no matter what.

As a lot of people have said, not a single lawyer can cite a part of law which decides or responsible for this sort of situation we have now.

Ang hirap kasi sa DMCI, di sila magbigay ng announcement, pero siguro ayaw lang nila lumaki yung issue.

It irritates me, kasi nakabili na me ng condo sa mismong 41st floor pero now that I've just realised how it could have been a big mistake, medyo nalilito na rin ako kung sinong papanigan ko, kasi nga ...hay ewan

Wala pa bang announcement ang panig ng DMCI mula sa isyu na ito. Personally, I do believe in them as they are liable on what they are doing. They are experienced professionals in this business like mikael21 said.

A lurker forever.. NO!

Carlos Celdran's call to stop the Torre de Manila project prompted me to create an account... and I promise to support his cause.

DMCI please heed the call. Preserve Jose Rizal monument's sightline!

I have high regard for the Consunjis.. I'm thinking when they bought the land and conceptualized the project, hindi siguro nila naisip that the bldg would ruin the monument, just as the Manila Cityhall folks also did not.. Had they known na magkakaganitong issue, am sure they would have not planned this project.

Ang nasa isip lang ng DMCI ay yung magandang view ng luneta from the condo.. Hindi nila naisip yung other side's view naman coming from the monument.

Problem now is, they already started selling the units and i think almost sold out na sila.

It's a big risk for them to continue with the project. I am sure the Supreme Court and the malacanang, being a populist, will stop the construction as soon as the clamor goes louder.

Big risk for DMCI, big risk for the investors. If i am the investor, i rather not take this risk as there is a big chance the supreme court will eventually order to stop the construction.

My take is position ng DMCI now is just tumahimik muna about the issue hoping it will die a natural death, but will it? I doubt it..they should state their position promptly para alam ng investors anong next steps nila.

Manila City Council will have a hearing regarding Torre De Manila AND another twin tower condo project that will deface the Sta. Ana Church sightline on Friday.

Apparently, Vice Mayor Isko Moreno is opposing both projects and has called for public hearings and review of the permits granted.

Great job, even if some suspected that this is just a case of "early political campaigns and electioneerings"

I agreed with joshua's comment that dmci might not have been aware of the fact that it would be a photobomb. Otherwise they would not have put out in one of their marketing materials a render of the tower just behind the Rizal monument. I think they shot themselves at the foot with that one.. Some might say whats the big deal with a view? Its just a view! But this is no ordinary view. This is the Rizal monument. Our national hero. People, locals and foreigners alike, take pictures of it. And it would really be disgusting with a tower at the back. What they can do if it's too late to scrap it is to probably make the building shorter. Kawawa mga investors dito. Baka they might be target for harassment. Another concern is the right of way leading to the tower itself. Have they acquired that right of way legally already? Wont the owner of the lot in front one day suddenly claim it and close it and deny them entry, much like what has happened with MPlace Ortigas?

SA DAMING bumabatikos sa DMCI ngayon, di ko na alam sasabihin ko. Tinanung ko mismo DMCI at sinabi nila meron daw mali dun sa render na artistic rendition lang daw yun at talaga naexaggerate ang pagkakalapit ng building sa RIzal Monument. Di ko lang maintindihan kung bakit walang sinasabi sa akin ang DMCI regarding this. Kailangan sabihin nila sa mga investors yun.

About right of way, pagmamayari ng DMCI yung way leading to the front side ng Torre Manila. Hindi ako taga DMCI, I'm neither against or pro.

Masaya pa siya!:lol:

I dont think this would work for DMCI. The issue might subside for now if they remain silent, but once they build the structure, they clamor will come back and will be even louder as the building becomes more imposing. Suggest linawin na nila ngayon palang if tuloy ba ito or hindi because they might just end up losing more if during the construction phase, saka pa sila papahintoin.

its probably one of schools around that area.. most likely sta isabel college?
yeah you're right, i think its 5 floors max...


ok lets assume that green roof school building next to torre de manila is 5 floors maximum...
this is my estimate of a 47 floor skyscraper beside it

It was Jose Rizal's birthday Tuesday.... some better zoning around Luneta.. I think would be a great birthday gift to him & his final resting place

at first I was enthusiastic about this development, then after realizing this building will eventually "photobomb" the luneta view, I find it pretty sad.. i hope something gets done before it's too late.

The government should impose a building high limit for any structure na itatayo malapit sa Luneta and Intramuros...

Parang sa France, wala kang makikitang nakatayong mataas na building malapit sa Eiffel tower..

A big NO to this project in this location. Yes I agree it's a nice project but please move it somewhere else. Let's preserve the sanctity of the Rizal monument. It's our heritage as a Filipino people.

Malalayo mula sa Eiffel Tower ang skyscrapers ng Paris, kaya kapag gabi, napakaromantic ng view ng Eiffel. Mmmmmmm :lovethem:


Another example is in Ottawa, the Capital of Canada. There is a building height restriction of 25-30 storeys so as not to ruin the view of the Parliament Building, and also, to retain the Parliament building as the tallest building in Ottawa

I wonder if it would reach the point where protesters would be lying on the middle of street trying to stop the construction? Celdran is known to be disruptive when he sets his mind against something. He's willing to go to jail for his cause.

Ask ko lang po ano po problema regarding dito po? Bakit di pwd Mag tayo ng high rise near in Luneta Park? di dapat hindi nag tayo ng condo at hotel sa U.N. Ave kung ganun? like Manila Pavillion Hotel na nakatayo pa noon 1970 at iba pa?

Parang common sense lang po nag-pepetition na wag magtayo ng high rise near sa Luneta kung titingnan ang dami high rise building malapit sa Luneta like Manila Pavillion hotel, Eton Reidences sa may Roxas na katabi ng Luneta, Times Square sa UN ave corner taft na kita mo mula sa Luneta, yung mataas na condo malapit sa Luneta Hotel na napakataas, yung bagong condo ng Anchorland sa U.N. ave makikita mo rin sa mula sa Luneta. Dapat kung gagawa ng petition noon pa dapat hindi ngayon marami ng nakatayo.

^^

Hijo, Like I've said on the Luneta thread, DMCI's Torre de Manila is a different issue becuase it is directly photobombing the vista of the Moument unlike the other structures you've mentioned.

Ah okey ganun ba? I understand now pero still marami ng high rise building sa paligid ng Luneta.

Kung gagawa sila ng ganyan moves dapat noon pa nung wala pang high rise building sa paligid ng Luneta. And kung di ako nagkakamali as i understand sa plan ni Burhman it is vision to be like Central Park sa New York. Isang malaking park na maraming high rise building sa paligid. Pero kung ayaw talaga masira yung view ng Luneta dapat mahigpit sa zoning noon pa.

the sightline behind the Rizal Monument is the issue, not the buildings along TM Kalaw, UN Avenue

Hijo, Like I've said it's a different issue. The one's you're talking about is in Kalaw, SIDE of Luneta. It won't obstruct the 'vista' of the monument. The one DMCI is trying to build it right smack behind the Monument. Try to back read and see some of the possible outcome of the project if it pushes through.

Ah okey ganun ba? I understand now pero still marami ng high rise building sa paligid ng Luneta.

Kung gagawa sila ng ganyan moves dapat noon pa nung wala pang high rise building sa paligid ng Luneta. And kung di ako nagkakamali as i understand sa plan ni Burhman it is vision to be like Central Park sa New York. Isang malaking park na maraming high rise building sa paligid. Pero kung ayaw talaga masira yung view ng Luneta dapat mahigpit sa zoning noon pa.

Central Park is different from Luneta, sa Central Park kahit magtayo ng mga high-risers walang problema kasi wala namang monument ng isang national hero na malalapastangan. DMCI can still construct that Torre de Manila but they have to reconsider the option of relocating the site. Just imagine yourself having some photo ops in Rizal's monument, would you like to see that Torre de Manila on the background? I don't think so.

^^ Yeah, Rizal Park is more like the National Mall of Washington DC than Central Park especially with the government buildings & National Monuments nearby... also having the even more historic Intramuros next to it

^^^ yes, one of Daniel Burnham's plan under the City Beautiful Movement. So that view corridor is worth preserving.

Ang sosyal sana ng Maynila, ala-Washington DC kapag fully-implemented lang sana yung urban planning ni Burnham ano? haaay (sigh)

ganda ng cityhall ha, naka mcintosh

Ganda nga ng session hall, hi tech nga gamit kaso lang mga bobo, maka sarili at kurakot naman mga tao dun.

ganda ng cityhall ha, naka mcintosh

Well of course gov't workers need to work with Maya, Adobe Creative Suite and other intensive post-production software. They need Apple computers! (sarcastic)

Never mind that there are cheaper PC alternatives for their meager clerical tasks, Macs are soshhzzzaaallll! :ohno:

ganda ng cityhall ha, naka mcintosh

Tsk tsk Kaya taas ng taas every year ang binabayaran naming taxes sa Manila City Hall, mahal pala ang mga computers nila..im sure panay games and fb mga employees dyan hehe

Kawawa naman kami at yung mga OFW na nagbayad na para sa Unit na ito kung hindi matuloy.

nagtataka lang ako bakit ang dami highrise jan at condo sa paligid ng Luneta at napayagan ang mga iyon at mga nakatayo na, bakit 'tong Torre de Manila na mas malayo pa ay nagkaka-problema..? eh di gibain na nila lahat ng mga highrise dun kung ganun...

sa tingin ko maraming mga tao hinayaan na lang yung mga matataas na gusali sa kalaw at UN ave dahil hindi naman ito pansin at nakakasira sa pinaka-"background" ni Rizal

ngunit hetong nasa likuran mismo ni Jose Rizal ay hindi bagay at tila medyo mahirap di mapansin ng mga tao at palusutin ng walang batikos

sana kung nauuna yung high-rise dyan... ay wala na talaga tayong magagawa.. eh nauna naman si Rizal dyan


heto ngang smokestack na mas malayo at higit na maliit pa sa torre de manila ay mayroon ng bumabatikos noon at ipinagiba na di ba noong 2009

isang puna bago giniba yung mga chimney na yan

October 25, 2008

Manila grew and the plant was expanded. Its single smokestack became prominent as a backdrop for the newly inaugurated monument to Rizal on the Luneta. No one worried about the view then since a grand civic center with large buildings and a tall domed capitol were to be built on what is now Agrifina Circle. These buildings would have become the fitting background for the monument.

...................

Also, I’d really like to see the old Tegen smokestack removed and the Rizal monument finally getting the proper background it deserves. Maybe they’ll start printing postcards of Luneta again and the rest of the city, for that matter (once those murderous billboards are banned — and by the way, no amount of original blown-up art — as being proposed — will mitigate the obvious and belligerent blight they forcibly impose).

DMCI, Ayala Land under fire for Manila Land Use, Zoning Code ‘violations’
ANNA MAE YU LAMENTILLO, GMA NEWS July 2, 2012 6:13pm

"After cultural activists scrutinized the construction and development projects of Ayala Land Inc.'s Amaia Land and D.M. Consunji Inc. (DMCI), Manila City officials claimed the companies’ respective projects violated the city’s Zoning Code.

The Manila City Council held its second public hearing Friday on the construction of DMCI's Torre de Manila close to the monument of national hero Jose Rizal in Rizal Park and Ayala Land's Amaia Skies Santa Ana Condominium.

City officials say both developers failed to send representatives for the second time, despite having been served a one-week notice.

Councilor Ernesto Isip, chair of the committee on laws and spokesperson of Manila City Council told GMA News Online in a phone interview that DMCI and Ayala Land have violated Section 22 and Section 47 of Ordinance 8119, also known as the Manila Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

Section 22 regulates the use of Histo-Cultural Heritage/Overlay Zone (O-HCH), or "areas containing registered historical or cultural heritage that deserve special consideration for protection and conservation."

On the other hand, Section 47 oversees the development of historic sites and facilities by establishing historical preservation and conservation standards. . . ."
