Japanese national falls to death from Makati building
ABS-CBN NEWS 12/26/2006 5:23:20 PM (http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryId=60579)

A Japanese national died after falling from a building in Rockwell Center in Makati City Tuesday morning, DZMM reported.

Senior Superintendent Gilbert Cruz, Makati City police chief, identified the fatality as Kasayuki Ito. Ito was reportedly with the Japanese embassy in Pasay City.

Ito died after falling from The Mansala Tower's 25th floor. His body was recovered from the building's roof deck at 7th floor.

Ito was occupying Room 2521. He fell off the building's 25th floor around 9 a.m., police said.

Cruz said they are not ruling out foul play in the incident. He said 30 minutes before Ito fell off, he called his driver and asked to be fetched from his room.

^^ Baka still under investigation pa. Anyway, I think that (safety) was one of the reasons why St. Francis Towers doesn't have balconies for the higher floors.

oo nga. di ko rin ma imagine kung sakaling nasa napakataas na floor ka tas me balcony na waist-high lang.

baka accident lang. or baka nagharakiri kaya?

the podium looks like it could be another mall:D that's already like 4 floors of the Nestle building.

I just noticed today that one of the towers seems to have topped off already...

oo nga. di ko rin ma imagine kung sakaling nasa napakataas na floor ka tas me balcony na waist-high lang.

baka accident lang. or baka nagharakiri kaya?

The balcony was just waist high? Another hazard of high rise living. It's sad that a beautiful building will be visited by such tragedy.

I don't think a fall from a 5th floor balcony would be any less fatal than falling from the 40th floor. There are actually more fatalities on lower floors as people tend to be extra careful if they live on the higher floors. Besides, accidents do happen.

If living in a high-rise with balcony, make sure that it is solidly built and that the floor is not wet or slippery. If you're not used to it you' may notice your heart pounding a little faster while walking towards the railing. You'll see cars are like toys moving through the streets below. You'll think to yourself: I woudn't survive a fall from this high up. So just look around and enjoy the magnificent uninterrupted views.








:)

or just don't use the balcony... most likely if your fear of heights doesn't scare you out of if the pretty strong winds from the 30th floor will.

Magtakutan daw ba sa mga condo balconies?!?!?!

Thank you for posting those updates, Thomasian. The scalloped part of that podium design really makes a difference. Now I'm looking forward to the seeing the landscaping done (especially the palm trees that are in the renderings).

^^ It does. It's very continental looking and actually reflects the name of the place "Joya".

santi's deli and emphasis salon is now open in that "scalloped" part of the podium

great update, what floors is it now?

loving the look ng Joya.... parang na sa Las Vegas ang dating. star studded talaga ang area ng Rockwell.....

I wonder if they'll allow us to buy a unit without parking???:?

For re-sale purposes, you'd want to have that expensive parking slot. It'll be a good investment in the end. :)

Ah yeah, it does remind me of a Las Vegas hotel. Was it MGM Grand? No, it's something else.

i reckon, they're going to be the tallest in Rockwell? One of the towers is actually taller then Manansala now. I wonder if they will go past Rizal.

WOW!!!! nice updates!!!! thnx 4 posting....can't wait 4 these to be completed!

:bash: I should have really gotten that studio unit, aarrgh!:ohno:

Nice updates, Pau:okay: Are they still adding floors?

I think yes for one of the towers...

is it already topped off? :banana:

I think for one of the towers...anybody can confirm?

i agree... especially since the rockwell area is kind of isolated, having a car would come in handy

very nice podium, very western designed and concept. i wish to see more of this also in BGC, shops and retail below condos and offices, nice to see outdoor shops.

Will this be finished this year ? Its beautiful .

it looks like some of the occupants of the commercial spaces at the ground floor level are open already... or about to. imo, fast paced talaga! :okay:

Roof top of the podium where swimming pool is located top photo,North tower on its 42flr construction 4 more flrs. to go and lastly the podium. Santis deli just open Feb. 8 / salon been open for bussiness. We had a chance to stay in Manansala Tower for our vacation, to view and update the development of Joya Loft and Towers all units are sold out.

Both towers are not top off yet South Tower is on 44th flr and North is on 42nd flr. South tower will be finish by June 2008, North tower by Dec.2008.

oh... i thought it was only going to be 42 floors :nuts:

It's like a totally different environment over there in Rockwell. Thanks for the photos/updates.

Anyway this one is still a long way to wait. Maybe we could start planning for the party for the turnover in December 2008. I heard that the Manansala residents held their party during the turn over period.
Lets have a :cheers: :dance2: grand party. Anybody (Joya Residents) would like to arrange for this party.

Wow! Its been a while since i've seen updates on this. Now thats how to build a podium...its beautiful, other developers should take note.

^^ They're obliged to make the podium so beautiful because the loft units are located on the whole perimeter of it. Unlike in other projects where it's all parking.

^^ imo, the other developers should put their parking underground like Joya, then.

I really like the tiled roof effect of Joya and the trellis on the podium. I can just imagine flowering vines hanging over it. The lofts will have superb vistas outside and what would appear to be an inner courtyard inside.

Rockin’ at Rockwell. Three events on Wednesday made Rockwell in Makati the exciting place to be if one is looking for quality living that combines the convenience of the city with the comforts of suburban life. From left, Nestor Padilla, Rockwell president; Nene Lichauco, chairperson of Barangay Bel Air; Manolo Lopez, Joe Guingona and Oscar Lopez of the Lopez Group of Companies; and Marites Lopez and Jay Lopez of the First Philippines Holding Corp., pose for posterity at the topping ceremony of Joya Towers and Lofts South Tower. Later, they presided at the groundbreaking for One Rockwell, and the inauguration of the Rockwell Information Center. --ROMY FLORANTE, BusinessMirror March 22, 2007

Great News! Finally One Rockwell has broke Ground :)

yeay!!! topped off na....how long ago, within the past week? i <3 rockwell!

^^ With the stucture topped off already, I am excited to see the finished product. But based on what I see from EDSA, it looks like they are of the same height.

So, there's not much difference between its (taller tower) height and that of Manansala. Also, from this angle we can now visualize how Lopez Center would look like (location-wise) once built.

Nice photo, Sir dudz:okay:

i would love to see how the cladding is going with a close up view...

Rockwell is really pushing the envelope in terms of township development. I really love all their buildings, except perhaps The Manansala. One Rockwell will cover up The Manansala from most of EDSA's point of view and based on the renderings, One Rockwell looks very posh. Joya Lofts are impressive as well but they may also be covered if Philtown proceeds with The Metropolitan.

The picture came out in BusinessMirror on March 22 and the caption says Wednesday so the topping should have happened on March 21. :cheers:

i don't think it's a question of if but when The Metropolitan gets built. judging from Philtown's print ads that is

what do the print ads say about Metropolitan? :)

^^ With the stucture topped off already, I am excited to see the finished product. But based on what I see from EDSA, it looks like they are of the same height.

no they shouldn't be. the one beside Manansala should be lower. am i right? based on the scale models that is.

there's been rumors milling around na they were saying na ang Metro ay part ng Rockwell Corp. but we all know the truth. no no no on Philtown....

Is the podium of Joya open for retail businesses?

what do the print ads say about Metropolitan? :)


they've huge ads featuring their 4 "masterpieces" - one mck, fairways, metropolitan and WH Taft. of course, of these 4, we know that only one mck has been completed and fairways ALMOST while the other two :dunno:

Is the podium of Joya open for retail businesses?

For one there's Santi's which is already open...

Joya twins are the "prettiest" towers in the Philippines. :okay:

^^ Joya Towers are indeed pretty but I think there are several ongoing developments which will contest that ie. St. Francis towers and even the Trilogy of Century City. At least, there are so many nice-looking towers under construction.:banana:

so far! i'm partial to the glassy look and i'm really looking forward to see the one rockwell twins :)

^^ One Rockwell twins? I think they have different structures altogether but looks glassy.

i scanned through the thread to check if there were people from Rockwell posting. i don't think there were any? but then again, i got lazy in the middle. anyhoo, i just wanted to ask if there are still available Joya units. i do realize that the first tower is almost complete (looking good) and turnover is really near. i'm just curious.

and for JerseyGeorge & boolateh (if you guys are around) how are the Rockwell people treating you after you made the purchase?

and would anybody know if that showroom where UCC and Grams are have model units for Joya or issit just for One Rockwell?

thanks.

^^ I nearly got a studio unit at the Joya South Tower two years ago...but the deal did not push through.

clarifiction pls... so you didn't get a unit at all? why not? what changed your mind?

or if anyone knows... what about provision for gas ranges... aircon... stuff... any stuff...

thanks.

They are not flexible to terms unlike other developers. Besides, the 100T per square meter with interest and without substantial discounts are not too competitive for investors (like moi).

I am giving my honest opinion about Rockwell people , they are very reliable and professional sales executive. No pressure on selling you their units if you want to purchase a unit u have it, if not no big deal. Within the period of 3 months after I bought my unit all paper works have been process including my CTS notarized and send back to me. When I went back to the Phil. last Jan. 2007 to visit Rockwell area. I made a reservation to stay in Manansala Tower , they were able to give 15 days to stay in their one unit bedroom for free including the use of all their facilities. Me and my wife have great time staying in this place. Chef Borres sales manager of rockwell gave us the tour and diner around the vicinity. I even met Mr Tong Padilla -Pres. of RLC. and was even offer me to go to view my unit 34th flr. while still being constructed. I was impressed this action from Rockwell people.

Looks like this will be another great looking Rockwell building :-)

wonderful. thanks, man.

hey guys! can you post some updated pics!

tnx...

Any future neighbor in here from South Tower?

clarifiction pls... so you didn't get a unit at all? why not? what changed your mind?

or if anyone knows... what about provision for gas ranges... aircon... stuff... any stuff...

thanks.

To answer your questions. I bought a one bedroom unit at Joya with one parking space at the North tower. The turnover date will be next year Dec. The provisions for appliances and AC are not included in the purchase price.
I did not realize that I can add AC unit when I signed the contract. The Rockwell web site says Joya is 100% sold. My family went on vacation in the Phil. last Jan 2006. We were given a one week accomodation at the Manansala. At that time Joya was still rising above the ground.
The services were great. The employees are courteous and polite.

hehehe, actually, i have this compulsive act, everytime nasa mrt ako and aproaching guadalupe, pag nakaupo ako, i always stand up and hold on rails instead and watch the view of the skyline, as wat i noticed, its getting too crowded like wat ive said in th eprevies thread. But still, rockwell skyline, though massive in look, still the best skyline ever you cant imagine, especially in a newly developing country like the philippines. And the most intimidating place to go, hehehe:lol: how intimidating,,,,,it shows in its building, very upsacle.
Though im not sure, have they bought the noah's ark property?????^^

My father's Meralco informant has confided to him that talks between the Lopez Group and the owner of Noah's Ark Sugar Mills regarding the former's offer to purchase the latter's property across Rockwell are still on going. Intriguingly, they are keeping these (talks) as secret as possible from the media's attention, and if ever the deal is done, the Lopez Group wants it covered first hand by its own network (ABS-CBN). The discussion about the purchase might take a long a while because, beside the Lopez Group, there are also other parties/real estate developers who are interested in the Noah's Ark property, which makes sense considering the fever-pitch real estate property boom the country is experiencing right now. Interestingly still, the owners of the Noah's Ark property are mulling the idea of developing the said propertry themselves - similar to Rockwell or Eastwood City, which will put them in direct competion against the Lopez Group once the bridge which will connect Estrella Avenue in Makati and Mandaluyong is finally constructed. This matter really is a big guessing game with so many parties, including its owner, now wanting to develop the Noah's Ark property.

Honestly speakingly, the Noah's Ark property for me is an icon, so I'd rather like to see it as it is and for it to remain untouched for sentimental reasons. I'd like to come home to the Philippines (Makati) and see it (Noah's) still there. Ask long-time Hulo/Barangka (Mandaluyong) and Poblacion/Guadalupe (Makati) residents about their personal attachment to Noah's Ark, and they will tell you of its endearment to them. I remember as a child, Noah's Ark would blow its horn at 5:30 and 6 o'clock each morning, and then at sunset at 5:30 and 6pm. The sound of Noah's Ark's horn was so sweet and gentle to my ears - it was my virtual alarm clock to get ready for school in the morning; it was also like my Big Brother reminding me to go home when it sounded its horn at 6pm.

...Honestly speakingly, the Noah's Ark property for me is an icon, so I'd rather like to see it as it is and for it to remain untouched for sentimental reasons...

There are a lot of sentimental places around town, but for places to evolve, changes has to be made. I do not live near Noah's Ark, and honestly, I see it as an eyesore more than anything else. I would always wish that the plans initially laid out in developing that part of Mandaluyong by the Rockwell group with the beautiful bridge, greenery and middle class but nice Mediterranean looking condominiums would boost the look along Pasig River. No offense meant, I would also feel the same if I were in your shoes. But look at it this way, the property in these areas would surely appreciate, and the people living here would thank the developers for these projects.

Just my two cents...

@boolateh, thanks for your input. Frankly speaking, I haven't had a clue how Noah's Ark look like right now. I've been based in the East Coast for more than a decade now, and have not set my foot in the Philippines since. Perhaps it would help me and the other forummers here if a picture of Noah's Ark, in its present condition, could be posted here. Any kind hearted volunteers? Perhaps, Thomasian could do it for us when he is next in the Rockwell vicinity. Thanks in advance, Aaron.

If it's an eyesore, as what you've said, Noah's Ark's owners should, and I hope they would, refurbish it if they're not already planning to put up something impressive in its place in order for it and the areas surrounding their property to appreciate in value. Moreover, Noah's Ark could serve as a landmark, educational that is, that could help young Filipino school children what a sugar mill is all about (I'm thinking aloud). Noah's Ark, correct me if I'm wrong, could be the only one of its kind in the Philippines that could be sitting right in the middle of the metropolis. I'm sure that the Filipino people would be able to appreciate the historical significance of this facility, which once refined the sugar that they've put in their coffee or halo halo.

I don't have the slightest idea if Noah's is still in commission. Any idea?

Again, thank you, and more power!

@Tebs, thanks!

you're welcome. im sorry i have to make the river blue so it won't look much of an eyesore. :)

this is the real color:

that's why the soon to be bridge going Noah's property haven't started yet?am I correct? maybe if the LOpez's have really bought the property, they should have started the construction of the bridge. Hope they will hire santiago calatrava for the bridge, hehehehe.

you know what would be cool? if they keep the architecture of Noah's Ark intact but modernize or develop the interiors. kinda like what they do in London & Liverpool where industrial buildings still look industrial but it's all residential and modern inside. that would be real loft. very artsy and bohemian.

IMO, the Lopez group and Noah's Ark group can do a JV... sort of like sta elena (rustan's group + rockwell land). a "sugar mill mall" just across the river from "power plant mall"? not such a bad idea :)

i think Rockwell is in the middle of pulling out from that Sta. Elena deal.

hahaha! this is funny but i'm not sure quite why... hahaha! did they do that at Alcatraz? like it's all posh inside these days?

We're talking about the structure, not the surrounding areas. The Alcatras prison is on an island in SFO Bay. The prison building and the island itself remain the same up to this time - they've never been made "posh" after the prison facility was decommissioned. Because of its notorious history, the Alcatraz remains to be a top tourist attraction up to this time.

really does? hehe...i wonder if they have the "cure" there still. :) if Rockwell extends till that point, then we will see a continuum of MM skyline in the next few years.

I just corrected for lens distortion and applied the usual levels, saturation, sharpening. Also I took it in bright morning sunlight. Lighting is the key. Note the bright blue sky.

our family friend is offering his Joya loft unit because he's going to buy a bigger unit. should i just sell my fairways tower (bgc) and grab his offer?

Please advice :)

Either way panalo ka. Maganda naman pareho.

As Dunamis mentioned, both projects are good however aside from the projects themselves I would advise that you also consider the pros and cons of the two areas itself to get a better picture of what ultimately comes closest to meeting your needs and requirements in the end of the day. There's a sub-thread (link below) that discussed this (Rockwell or Fort Boni question) which may help you in coming to a sound decision. Goodluck! :)

And tell your Joya friend as well. :) Cheers!

^^Btw aside from what has already been mentioned/posted earlier, I think another factor you need to consider is that the loft units of Joya is on the lower floors di ba? So you'll have a different kind of view compared to what you'll be getting from your 28th floor unit in FT which is facing the Manila Golf course and Makati skyline pa. Are you willing to give up that spectacular view? Just something to think about as well ... :)

^^Hehehe... gaano ba kailangan kalapad para maganda siya? Sorry luma na yung pic at wala pang latest eh but unless we're nit-picking halos pareho lang sa tingin ko. Eto yung sa Fairways below if you want to see...

Check out some construction pictures of fairways tower, WOW! impressive hallway and interiors.

Unit Hallway:
http://www.philtown.net/images/fairway/thumb/hallway%20DSC03859.JPG

ano ba usual width ng hallway ng condo?
sa mga 5star hotels at least 2.2 meters yata sa tingin ko.
i like walkways/corridors that are so wide, maaliwalas tingnan. magkasalubong man ang dalawang heavyweights, ok lang :)

I think the narrower the hallways are, the more good looking neighbors you'll have! :D Not to mention, you can get really "close" to your hot neighbor while walking the hallways. :lol:

yup. ung loft unit sa joya is nasa seventh floor daw. the unit i have sa fairways is on the 28th floor.
medyo na convince nya kse ako na mas ok ang community ng rockwell
(he lives at the manansala for 2 years na) - alam mo na daw ung people around you and may exclusivity daw talaga. And di na daw sya magiging saturated...not like daw sa bgc, padami ng padami like mushrooms.

but....

i still heart Fairways :)

It is unfair to compare Fairways to any of Rockwell's developments named after the great Pinoy masters.
They are not in the same league. e-Rockwell condos have higher standards hands-down. The price difference says which is more prestigious.
If I were in your circumstances and can afford it, would go for Rockwell.

OK naman whatever project you choose. Like what we've said before both projects are good in their own ways so in the end it is only you who can really decide on matters like whether or not you will be happier living in Rockwell as oppose to Fort Boni or vice-versa. Just to play devil's advocate, location is something that can not really be duplicated nor easily improved upon and with high profile projects (like the Unified PSE among many) lining up BGC's 5th Ave. it's becoming the equivalent of Makati's Ayala Ave. so will you be willing to trade your prime location within BGC's emerging world-class CBD for Rockwell's small pocket of "niceness"; furthermore, will you be willing to trade your 28th floor view of the Makati Skyline, Polo Club, Manila Golf, Manila Bay, and the even the Airport for one that's looking another building? Just something to think about. Better do your due diligence and consider the pros and cons to get a clear picture of what ultimately comes closest to meeting your needs and requirements so that you can make that sound decision and won't end up having buyer's remorse. Good Luck and God Bless! :)

Fairways it is :)

siyempre may hometown bias si kuya Boe. hehe...:okay:But comparing 28F and 7F. I'd go for the higher unit. better views. esp if it's Manila Golf and Makati skyline + sunset that we are talking about.

sabay ask sa sexy babe, "your place or mine?" :D

Then the sexy babe will respond:

!@#!@#$
You go to your place and I'll go to mine...

^^Hehehe...bias ba? Naku hindi naman. I was just reminding what he may miss in BGC that's all but in the end only he can really say where he will be happy living in the long term. I was just giving my two cents (maybe even less) because it's such an expensive mistake to make or have buyer's remorse on after all we're no longer talking about pocket change at these prices. I was just trying to help, being a fellow investor. I went through the same excercise din kasi when I was buying a unit in Pinas and ended up investing in BGC - kung baga eh I just put my money where my mouth is. I've expressed my views/opinions about it in the "Rockwell or Fort Boni" thread (link: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=529320). Don't get me wrong Rockwell is also a good area as well but it was just not for me I guess so to each his own really in the end. And as far as Joya is concerned, I think it is a damn good project should one decide he wants to live in Rockwell. That I want to make clear. :)

Fairways it is :) ^^Welcome back! I know it's a hard decision to make and we're glad that you were able to reach a sound decision based on your own set of needs and requirements. We're sincerely happy that you are happy and comfortable with your decision to stay in BGC because it is really an individual choice after all - there is really no wrong or right. Maybe you can tell your friend to just ask the Rockwell/Lopez Grp. if they can credit his Joya purchase/payments towards the bigger unit he now wants. I'm sure they can accommodate him and it's also better to do it internally instead of selling the unit and buying another one. Taxes will just eat up his profits.

whats the size of like a 2 bedroom unit here? like how many sq feet?

I like Fairways a lot better! I'd go for Fairways for the view and the location. MOre bang for your buck.

I think he's thinking about that too. He wanted to offer it to us because the loft unit are limited lang daw for Joya.

Am really sticking to Fairways na - my furnitures are all set! can't wait to move in :)

^^ Good to hear that you've decided to stay in BGC / Fairways Tower. I think you've made a good decision. Lots of high profile developments happening along 5th Ave. BGC is booming with construction. You can check out the Fort Boni Thread for details.

Thanks Aaron! May alam ka na bang nakatanggap na ng unit nila? Our unit is at the North tower. Medyo malabo ang communication from the turn-over department of Rockwell eh. When I called, they claim that they are turning over loft and South tower units since September which means they're ahead of schedule by 6-8 months. Pero ng tanungin ko kung kailan ang turnover ng North tower, they just give me the original commitment date which is Dec 08 :ohno:

Hi Mongka,

New on this thread but been reading/following up on updates posted here (salamat sa mga pictures Thomasian!). I called Joya handover team last week inquiring on the estimate turnover date for Joya North, depende sa floor ng unit mo, I was given a Sep 08 date. I was also informed that 3-4 mos before the turnover date, we'll receive something in writing. They were probably overwhelmed w/phone calls from excited future homeowners and don't want to give out dates kung hindi pa naman sigurado.

Hi Yoko,

Thanks. Our unit is at the 27th floor. Yung sa yo ba, anung floor?

Our unit in on the 24th flr, so we'll probably have the same turnover month, hopefully nga sa Sep 08 na. :banana:

I spoke to one of the reps during their visit here in CA last Dec. The turn over at Joya north tower is 5 months ahead. Our original turn over date is Dec 2008. We can closed in August. Since our contract states that the turn over date is Dec 2008 we have the option of closing on the original turn over date just in time for christmas vacation. My unit is on the 20th floor. They also advised us of applying for a dual citizen but I disagree. The Philippine govt may imposed a tax on your income in the US.

ang galing ng cameraphone mo Ka tyronne! and as usual, to our updates man - Aaron! and congratulations to the unit owners! sure this is something to be proud of and excited about!

Hi 4MiFamRoc, I do hope that we can close by August or earlier. We need a place to stay as early as June :nuts:

Hi 4MiFamRoc,
It's good to know that we have an option to keep our original turnover date of Dec08 but we're too excited to wait that long so we'll take the earliest date they can give us. Our friend bought a unit at Joya south, turnover end of this month. He will give us some info/details on what to expect during the turnover process (closing costs, HOA, Aircon/Water heater,etc). Good to hear fr someone in the bayarea, our family (kids/in-laws) live in the area and we were just there visiting for the holidays. Hope to see you around Joya:)

There are lots of us here in the bay area who bought units at the Manansala and Joya. This is the reason why we got hooked to buy one too. Hope to meet you too. We are planning to have the turnover in November or Dec just in time for Christmas.:cheers:

Wow!!! Another Rockwell signature of quality and excellent workmanship... This real estate company never fails to impress me each time. I am not an owner of any of their properties but I can't help being bowled over by their projects and this community. Congrats to all the investors and homeowners! Their projects are pricey but they deifinitely deliver, seriously.^^

@ you_wish - the third picture is the lobby drop off. The top-right door is the South Tower drop-off, the top-left door is one of the loft drop-offs. The North Tower and the other Loft drop offs are not in the picture.

Yes, the fourth and fifth pictures are the South tower lobby and pigeon-hole, respectively.

Calling on unit owners who've successfully received their units... appreciate if you can share experience/ pictures.

Question: Is the underground tunnel built and functional?

Thanks!


A previous posting (post #132, Nov. 6th, 2005) said:

"Going to the Power Plant Mall from Joya would be
effortless with the underground tunnel.
Security is maintained since only residents with
proximity cards are allowed to cross from one
building to another."

the lobby drop off is one of the nicest i've seen. parang gusto ko tuloy mag joya.

you_wish,

Rockwell really has IMPRESSIVE projects and I feel the same way as you. There is something about the way they give attention to the smallest details that set them apart from the rest. The reason I bought a unit at the Metropolitan is its proximity to the Rockwell community. Not exactly Rockwell but close enough. And you have your unit at The Fairways. I guess Philtown is all right. But Rockwell projects--may sariling mundo. :cheers:

^^ Yup that's the nice thing about Philtown's Metropolitan project...you're in proximity of the exclusive Rockwell enclave and yet don't end up paying Rockwell project pricing. More bang for the buck given the location, location, location and with Metropolitan sports club amenities to boot. On the other hand Rockwell projects are really quite impressive as can be seen in those Joya pics posted above. Really beautiful! Rockwell investors do get what they pay for...of course they also paid alot more. No question that Rockwell though small is a very nice and prestigious enclave indeed! :okay: :okay:

rockwell is really nice but the thing that made me stick with fairways (aside from the manila golf view and superb construction quality) is the location. i'll be working at the airport so dapat ung may short cut and di masyadong traffic. :lol:

our friend is still selling his joya loft for 8 million, bare. you think that's a good investment? :dunno:

^^ Just wondering how big that loft is...Do you have any idea?

looking for re-sale units here... anyone selling their units?

WOW dito na ako sa Rockwell kung ganito ang una kong makikita ko sa aking pinaghirapan. Parang ito pa lang ang nakita kong condo na na turnover na may mataas na kalidad. Panalo ang mga investors dito.

Either your client is too short or the Joya tower units have very generous ceiling heights :)

^^She's not my client...she's my aunt.:)

The ceiling height is 2.78 meters (9 feet - 1 1/2 inches)

very nice unit...especially it already comes with an aircon:)

^^Yes it is..you don't need to worry your condensing unit.:)

nice color of the cabinets as well...for the hip and young!

front door lobby and hallways...more meticulously designed than anyone i;ve seen!..and with paintings and mirrors too!....

^^Hi serendra_lover. :) How's your unit? Hope everything is ok. :)

it's slated for turnover in august this year...working on the designs now...ikaw kasi!:)...keep up the good work!

^^Oo nga e...Thanks serendra_lover! :)

Oh it's nice to see that you guys are ok now. Hehe. :cheers:

@stephen... so your aunt is not your Joya client, right? She just accompanied you during the unit inspection? And what is the size of the 1BR?

^^Yup. Its 50+ sq.m.

very nice....this put serendra 2 down with the finishing

^^Yup. Its 50+ sq.m.

Hi Stephen, that unit is in which floor? Do you know how many units or at what level/floor of the South Tower are they turning over now? Thanks.

i like the kitchen cabinets! everything seems to be ok - pero sana the bedroom door is not that plain.

Hi Stephen, that unit is in which floor? Do you know how many units or at what level/floor of the South Tower are they turning over now? Thanks.

^^30th. I will ask the Rockwell Land admin about your query. I will post it asap.

very nice....this put serendra 2 down with the finishing

definitely agree with you.

We own a two bedroom unit on the 38th floor of the South Tower which was handed over a couple of weeks ago (we negociated an early turnover). The public areas of Joya are fantastic- the lobby is nicely designed and beautifully furnished. The lift lobbies, hallways, lighting and model unit doors are all very nicely done. Rockwell Land obviously finishes their buildings well and the overall impression of Joya is very positive.

The interior finish of the units is not quite so successful in my opinion. The diagonal parquet floors are really not that great, the bathroom and kitchen tiles and units are very ordinary. We are having some major works done on the flat to brighten it up and make the look a bit more contemporary. Once finished it should be a lovely flat. The views from the flat (we face west, south and east) are amazing and it's a very bright flat with wonderful, big windows with great views of Manila Bay, the Pasig River, Makati CBD and Bonifacio Global City.

The swimming pool area is fantastic-two beautiful swimming pools plus a small kiddie pool, lovely plants and flowers everywhere- the landscape architects should be congratulated! We haven't yet visited the roof area which is, in theory, going to be a Sky Lounge at the top of each tower for use by residents but they should be a nice addition to Joya life once they are finished.

All in all, Rockwell Land has done an admirable job with Joya in spite of my reservations about the basic interior finish of the flats. If you are willing to spend the money to upgrade the fixtures and finish of the flats to make them look more like the Joya model units, you will end up with a beautiful flat that is both comfortable and elegant!

Hi JamesHK. Please post some photos of your unit once its done. Thanks.:)

Here are the 3D rendered images of a 1-bedroom unit in Joya. Total floor area: 58 sq.m.

Date approved: May 18, 2008

The construction is on-going. The construction timeframe is 18 working days. The target completed date will be on June 7, 2008. I will post the actual completed photos soon.

Another great design @stephen! :applause:

Is it ok to share the approximate cost of the interiors and what is included in the price range (e.g. furniture/appliance are excluded, I presume)? Thanks.

^^I sent you a personal message, twinstar633. Thanks! :)

Stephen,

Great job! If you don't mind, can you pm on the cost, including the furniture? I noticed that you're taking out the wood flooring in the living/dining area.

Hi Yoko,

Yes, we will remove the wood parquet floors & replace with 60 cm x 60 cm ceramic tiles (for the living, dining & kitchen) and wood laminated flooring (for the bedroom & walk-in closet).

I sent you a personal message. Thanks. :)

@stephen... since your construction timeframe of 18 working days (target June 7) for this 53 sqm Joya unit is quite tight, how many people are at this job site at any one time? I see a lot of workers in your pics. Are you able to visit the site everyday? Who does the QC?

^^ Thanks for the update Stephen. We're looking forward to seeing the unit turn from that to this! Will check up in a few weeks! :)

Stephen,

I have a 1br 1den in the North Tower scheduled for turnover soon. I would also like to get a quote on the project you have posted (although I prefer a much different style and functionality). I do however find the convenience of the service you provide to be just what I need. I'll send you a PM.

Nice work Stephen! I like the kitchen, the drop ceiling and the washer dryer ... so functional. I like the glass shower too.

Kudos to Stephen.
