Naisip ko din sana magkaron ng Amaia skies sa alabang gaya ng Avida Towers.. Pero mas maganda syempre kung Ayalaland Premier or atleast Alveo.. Mas mas mura pa sa avida ang AyalaLand's amaia di ba?

Escalades Metro South: 6th flr na yung sa northside at 7th flr na sa southside. Mukhang mas maliit yung width nya hindi gaya nung sa render. Sa tingin ko baka ibalik yung dati na 8bldg na original plan. Ginawang 6 bldg na malapad yung sa bagong render ayon sa [QUOTE=isRafiL;81805668]previous design was kind of similar to that of Escalades @20th Avenue (Cubao), there were 8 buildings.

Wow ! ..Thanks for the photo updates @ Muchosan, simultaneous na pala talaga yung mga midrise cluster projects in the vicinity of Sucat . How about yung Nob Hill project sa Vista LakeFront in Sucat nag start na rin ba ?
Good thing kapag na-complete na itong mga mga midrise cluster housing projects in the vicinity. They support the developments of Filinvest Alabang , Madrigal Business Park and Vista Lakefront and makes the city skyline more dense.
Meron pa rin yata mga future project plans somewhere in the Hillsborough area since Greenfield Devt. has a 15-hectare commercial property there at yung sa Megaworld property somewhere in Alabang , sana mag-start na rin since napaka-agressive ng Megaworld when it comes to developing their projects.
Available na naman ang mga supporting infrastructures like ( SLEX/SSH , Skyway , National Roads ) while some of them are in the pipeline ( Daang Hari/SLEX link road , PNR expansion ) for accesibilities.
Okay na rin naging Sogo Jr. yung Arevalo tower , eye sore kasi yung building na iyan dati , at least it has been cladded at gumanda na .

I read that Puregold now owns S&R , I wonder if they will convert the S&R membership stores into a Puregold store( similar case to former Makro stores converted to SM Hypermarkets ). Is there a Puregold mall already , I will not be surprised if one of these days that there will be.
Is there any chance that Amaia Skies project will be built in Madrigal Business Park ? after the Avida Towers and upcoming Kukun boutique hotel. Above 30-storeys Amaia project will be good for MBP, it's high time to beef up the developments in MBP . I hope those lot owners who bought property in MBP will build their highrise buildings.

S&R's target market varies too much from Puregold's. This is unlike Makro and SM Hypermarket which both aim primarily fo the more budget conscious market segment. Besides, it doesn't make good business sense for Puregold to acquire S&R just for the half a dozen store locations of S&R (not to mention, there are Puregold branches near some S&R branches aready... like Puregold Alabang)

As for Ayala condominiums in Alabang, I think Avida is the most entry level it can go (which I think should be the case). I know of 2 projects already but they have not been launched publicly.

yes.target customer talaga ng s&r ang class A shoppers.saka ang mga carried items sa s&r is more on imported items talaga unlike sa makro na madaming local items kaya tinalo sila ng wholesaler stores gaya ng puregold.kaya ngayon ginagawa na silang sm hyper

I love S&R pizza, I like the way S&R feels like Costco in the US. If they turn this into a Puregold outlet, sayang naman, invasion of the jologs. I think they should maintain the brand, but if they don't, I sure would miss S&R pizza. :lol:

Makro by the way in Sucat is now SM Hypermart, still no hoards of customers though, the parking lot is still empty. Maybe the location is really bad, I personally find that I have to make an effort just to get there.

I noticed the BOIE compound has been blocked off already from view, is there any upcoming construction here? Technically it's already Las Pinas at that part but since it's directly beside MBP it would be nice to know what will be put up there.

Maybe SM -Hypermarket Sucat -ESR is anticipating for the lots of midrise clusters developments on that area.
I read that it just re-opened last month as an SM-Hypermarket, Makro lasted operating the store for more
than a decade.
The site however is just beside the bigger frontage lot of South Escalades by Robinson which is reserved for future
commercial development ( possibly a Robinson mall since its along the Sucat Interchange ). I do hope that Robinson will buy
the strip beside their property occupied by informal settlers to further increase the area alloted for their commercial development.
I wonder what SM will do in case the Robinson mall materializes on that area. The site of the SM Hypermarket and parking area is also
quite big ( 3-4 hectares ).
Across the Robinson property is the vast area of Vista LakeFront which is for future mixed-use development , there are so much
potential on that area in years to come.
Contiguous developments on that area of ESR , Sucat
LakeFront
Escalades/Robinson
SM Hypermaket
Rhapsody Residences
Tribeca Residences
a few gaps away is...
Anuva residential buildings .

Sana , its not just a common Toyota showroom but an office building as well . But ang lapit lang ng Toyota showroom along AZ road .

Nagstroll ako sa bagong pavement along new az road. :) mukhang may itatayo na bagong building sa filinvest ave corner new alabang zapote road. Opposite side ng 20 storey bldg na tinayo sa northgate. Bali tabi sya ng south supermarket. Last sunday nun nagpunta ako dito. Inalis nila yung billboard dun sa area. Then may guard na ng guard house na may pangalan ng toyota alabang. Ngayon pagbalik ko wala na yung billboard at may mga hukay na sa paligid na possible pagtayuan ng poste para i cover yung whole area. Possible kayang toyota alabang showroom to?

Hmm, so lilipat na ang Toyota Alabang sa Alabang? I remember yung Mitsubishi na located sa Las Pinas lampas pa ng Southmall pinangalan nila sarili nila as Mitsubishi Alabang, or was it Suzuki? Anyway that would be a good move if they do relocate in FCC.

If Toyota Alabang -Las Pinas will indeed transfer in Alabang's FCC -Westgate vicinity, I hope they built a more upscale and stylish showroom than what they currently have in Las Pinas. Magaganda kasi ang mga car showrooms sa Westgate .
Madaragdagan na naman ang car dealership/showroom in that part of Alabang ( Madrigal BP to Westgate ) .

This is really a nice addition to the growing Muntinlupa skyline once completed , at least it deviates from
the multi-level podium type of amenities / commercial shops very common nowadays to maximize the space.
Hope some office skyscrapers will be built also as FCC is ideal for such taller buildings since it's not in near path of airport runways .
Spectrum Center multi office tower should be revived .
Now that they are expanding Festival Supermall at the southern side , maybe FCC should start developing the Civic Drive and Corporate Loop area .

2. Viera ( Marfori ) - Vista Lakefront
3. Nob Hill - Vista Lakefront

Meron din mga map dito sa net na may boundary na nakalagay.. Nakakita na ako nun dati.. :)

Hi mga taga South,

I need advice. I'm planning to buy a unit in Solano Hills, the one posted above, along Villonco Rd, West Service Road. Okay ba na area ito? I won't bring car with me when I move, accessible ba sya sa public transport? Hindi naman ako mahihirapan pumunta Ortigas?

And may mga malapit ba na restaurants and commercial establishments sa area na ito? And how's the community, safe naman sya?

Yun lang po. Baka kasi mamaya dead spot pala ang area na ito lalo na sa gabi.

Any reply will be appreciated. I plan to go there to check the area, pero I wanna know what to expect. :D

Thank you!

hi Ohayyy, regarding Solano Hills in Muntinlupa, the project is right next to SouthBay Village and beside Diocese of Paranaque. I suggest using your car first to go there and then figure out how to commute there.

1) Take the Skyway and exit at Dr. A. Santos Ave (Sucat), make a U turn towards West Service Road going south to Alabang. 2) Go right along Villongco Road.

There, you will see that it's uphill and well the area is relatively quiet with the village right next to it and the Diocese in the other side. There's no commercial spaces there yet, but there will be inside the development. As for actual commercial areas, it's best to check out the areas along Paranaque: there's a nearby Santana Grove, SM City Sucat, and it's less than 5 minutes away from Alabang. Hope it helps!

I just stumbled on an article regarding a residential project in Filinvest City named "The Marguerite "which consists of only 42 units of around 250 sq.m each unit . Only 2 units per floor for this building of 20++ levels .
I wonder if this project pushes through since it was last year the article came about .
Also , where in FCC will it be located ?

Based on the google I made, The Marguerite will be located at Asean Drive, Filinvest City Alabang. The website contains a render of the building.

Now that Daang Hari-SLEX link road will be built , will the government plans to relocate the National Penitentiary somewhere else in Luzon finally push through ? What are the chances that the proposed " Golden Tower " to be built in NBP reservation will materialized ?
Once the DH-SLEX link road gets built , it will seem that this promising corridor will boom ( Evia City ), even SMDC's Lindenwood Residences in Susana Heights has already plans for expanding and putting up a commercial center in the vicinity of the Susana Heights/DH-SLEX interchange .
And with Ayala Corp. at the helm of the link road construction, it will not be surprising that they will also get involved in real property developments in the area .

Ayala ( Avida ) is planning not only residential and commercial but also an office development in it's newly acquired 6.6 hectare former Nestle' coffee factory in Alabang.

Fronting the former Nescafe factory is a Shell gasoline station and Bank of the Philippine Islands ( BPI ) which are both an Ayala owned companies , so it's imminent that Ayala bought the huge property . The area is bounded by Alabang-Bayanan creek , PNR tracks at the back and the National Road at the front . I hope Ayala's will allot space for a road expansion along the National Road starting at the Alabang-Bayanan creek ( at least 6 lanes , from the current 4-lanes ) since the area will surely become the gateway to the Alabang Interchange ( viaduct ) and also to ease traffic in the area when the build-up goes underway .
That Shell gas station is not that frequented by customers along with the one-storey BPI bank , they can probably be demolished instead in the future and become part of the mix-use complex.

Thankful that Ayala's will be the one to develop that huge property , as I suggested before , this idle property is very ideal for a mix-use development and finally it's coming true with Ayala at the helm. I hope it will also trigger improvements and more developments in the Alabang area. They can also take advantage of the property's proximity to the Alabang station of the South Rail of PNR and provide accesibility from the station to the complex , or rather financed building a better Alabang train station , next to the property...:)

Hmm, strange as to why people think Ayala owns Shell or partly owns it, it's not in its portfolio of businesses. And it is highly unlikely since Shell is a multi national oil company which could probably buy Ayala and not the other way around.

Anyway, Filinvest seems to have kept a lot of lots in FCC and building condos and offices which would maximize their profits. I'm wondering how The Levels would affect the skyline of FCC. Anyway, they seem to have a lot of experience already with high rises as the PBCom tower was actually a joint venture, PBCom owns the lot and then Filinvest developed it.

The stoplights along the FCC portion of Commerce really sucks, I hate that particular stoplight adjacent to Acacia Hotel, the left turn signal always causes a bottleneck! Kainis, pwede naman kasi adjust na sabay yung green na straight and yung pa left.

Anyway, AAVA news reported a break in in AAV, a car and laptops were stolen. Why the hell is the crime rate rising inside the village in spite of all the security measures?? First a shabu factory and then a break in? Dang.

Commercial as in Retail/Food? It's great that we're beginning to have much more places to dine and shop again... but I'm just not sure the area can support the huge amount of establishments yet. Alabang will need more offices and residential condominiums to sustain the growing number of shopping and dining locations.

Not a good idea. We don't even have enough parking in ATC anymore, and then you want to add more buildings that will attract more people who require parking?

Let's not forget that these people who can't find open parking spaces will also end up driving around ATC until they finally find a space for them. That'll be a terrible traffic situation for Alabang. :P

Let them resolve the parking situation first. Only then should they can think about adding more retail/commercial/residential buildings.

LhexiMont

June 30th, 2012, 05:39 AM

I think the retail component in the current expansion is more than enough for ATC and what they probably need is a modern 4-5 level carpark structure that can accomodate more parking space . Besides, Molito complex has also some additional retail components.
Maybe , ALI can channel their resources for Alabang at their newly acquired property, the 6.6 hectare former Nestle-Alabang factory. I hope they will built it well as an integrated mixed-used center and improved the infrastructure within that area. As a suggestion , I would like to see a wrap around road on the property commencing on the creekside unto the back portion where it is bounded by the PNR tracks and ending at the area where the Bank of PI stands . Or , they can probably expand their portion of road along National Highway to at least address the traffic situation that will surely build up once the developments are up , whichever is more feasible between the two suggestions.

I visited Festival Mall earlier and it was very difficult to find parking. As I entered the property the electronic signs were saying that all areas were already full. I ended up parking along the street and paying 30 bucks while I would have paid just 15 if i had parked in the lot.

Piece of advice when parking in Festival, try the third level basement, at least your car is protected from sun and rain.

^^ Unfortunately I usually drive a van so I really cant drive all the way down there. I think in Festival it's just a case of coming at the right time. In the past I would go there in late morning/lunch time and easily find parking. It starts to clog up in late afternoon to evening.

Yes the lower basement parking has a max headroom.

Both Festival and ATC were built as a suburban style shopping mall so you would be single level parking as opposed to multi-levels like Ayala Centre, Megamall or Trinoma.

Sana gawin na lang ng Ayala na parang Eastwood City type yung former Nescafe -Alabang plant -newly acquired property nila , then enhance din nila yung creek beside the property, puede naman siguro since very strategic naman ang location.
Years ago , rumored na gagawin daw SM yan but they opt to build in Tunasan instead.

Ang problem kasi sa site ng dating Nescafe ay yung accessibility sa main roads or SLEX.

Unless magkaron ng on ramp papunta sa lugar na yun katulad na lang ang ginawa sa FCC.

;92825873']Not a good idea. We don't even have enough parking in ATC anymore, and then you want to add more buildings that will attract more people who require parking?

Let's not forget that these people who can't find open parking spaces will also end up driving around ATC until they finally find a space for them. That'll be a terrible traffic situation for Alabang. :P

Let them resolve the parking situation first. Only then should they can think about adding more retail/commercial/residential buildings.

Or they can do both. Build a hotel/condo/BPO building on top of 5-10 levels of parking.

If plans for the co-development of NBP by private firm and the government , it will be truly another boost for the city of Muntinlupa as it will have several growth areas in different parts of the city anchored by business/commercial zones.

Alabang Corridor : FCC/Festival ( 244H) , ATC/Madrigal( 40H+ ) , Alabang Interchange /Metropolis

Sucat Corridor : Lakefront Central ( 80 H ) , Tribeca (10H) , Makro , proposed Robinson
Mall site

Tunasan : SM Supercenter ( 4H )

This is my old post wayback 2007 ...fast forward 2012 substantial developments/notable projects have happened such as :

Alabang Corridor : Filinvest City * Festival Supermall major Expansion ( from 20 to 30 has. area )
* Entrata Complex
*The Levels
* Studio City
*Various BPO office buildings and hotels / expansion in NorthGate Cyberzone and Westgate Area
* Asian hospital expansion
* La Vie flats and upcoming residential towers in the pipeline.

Alabang Town Center / Madrigal Business Park * Molito Commercial and Lifestyle Complex ( w/ future high rise residential and hotel towers )
* Avida Towers ( high rise )
* Various midrise office , hotel and residential towers constructed in MBP

Sucat / Cupang corridor * Vista Lakefront ( Presidio, Viera, The Wharf , Nob Hill , Victorianne )
* Escalades South Metro ( still with future Robinson mall component )
* Tribeca Residential Towers
* Centropolis, Sucat
* Rhapsody Residences
* Asia Enclaves
* Anuva Towers
* Solano Homes , Sucat
* Conversion of Makro into SM Hypermart.

Alabang: * Starmall renovation ( 2011 )
*Lianas Mall ( same )
* Nestle -Alabang , Ayala acquisition for mixed-use center development ( 2012 )

Tunasan * SM Supercenter ( 4-has. , same )
* Lindenwood Residences ( 21-has, + expansion and commercial complex component.

Poblacion * Daang Hari -SLEX link road ( 4 km. by Ayala Corp )
* Will possibly open up 400-hectares of land for development if the NBP reservation
will be relocated .
* Will possibly make the undeveloped open lands at Susana Heights ( 300-has. ) a hot property
as anything is possible once a major roadway is built .
* Also adjacent to the 600-hectare township development along Daang Hari ( Evia )
where several exclusive villages already exists ( Portofino )

Putatan * Puregold branch ( 2012 )
* Starmall Agro ( in the pipeline )

-Completion of Skyway Stage 2 traversing the city
- Rehabilitation and expansion of PNR line traversing the city
-Completion of retrofit and additional lane expansion from 6 to 8 of Alabang viaduct in support of SLEX rehabilitation a few years ago.

Puede siguro dito mag headquarters ang Filinvest Group of Co. as a suggestion then gawin nilang very beautiful well -landscaped garden plaza with water features yung open space na surrounded ng multiple towers.
Ang ayos ng pagka developed ng infrastructure sa Filinvest City with wide roads and sidewalks, but it has only a handful of buildings so far. Though , mayron naman sila palaging ongoing construction activities nowadays , sana mas madagdagan pa from top

I just realize that the recent acquisition of Ayala of the former Nestle' Alabang plant which they are planning to convert into a mixed-used or purely residential complex is not the first of such but actually the fourth already in the city as far as I know of .

The following are:

1. Former-Firestone plant now Tribeca Residential Complex
2. Former-Pfizer plant now Rhapsody Residences
3. Former-Solid Mills plant now South Metro Escalades with a future Robinson mall

Other prospective IMHO are :

1. Former General Motors plant ( sandwiched by Tribeca and SM Hypermart (ex-Makro)) .
I hope SM buys the plant along with the discontinued Veridian towers complex and
combined them with its current SM-Hypermarket to be converted into a mixed-
used complex to utilized the unfinished Veridian towers as well.
That area is also in a premium location where there are contiguous developments
starting from Vista Lakefront all the way to Rhapsody Residences and Anuva .

2. Pepsi Cola plant -Tunasan ( in case they plan to sell the property and relocate elsewhere ) .
Just beside the current SM Center-Muntinlupa . It has a bigger land area than SM .

Anything is possible naman, dati wishful thinking lang na ma-developed yung old Nestle plant
now , it' s becoming a reality at major developer pa ang nakabili .

Sana both Ayala and Filinvest will spearhead in coordination with the city government
the beautification/landscaping of the whole stretch underneath the Alabang viaduct
para hindi na ito pamugaran ng mga illegal vendors.
Yung public market , parang hindi na akma sa stature ng Alabang being a rising business district , hopefully ma -upgrade since 1987 pa yan structure na iyan . Yung area ng informal settlers "linisin" at city terminal isara na at alisin na din since may South Station central terminal na mas maayos, para mag materialize na yung proposed city government center sa area between Osmun at Alabang Fire Station .
Pag naging modernized at multi-level kasi yung public market with parking facilities , it can be readily interconnected to South Station terminal at magiging maaliwalas ang lugar sana maalis yung fruitstand row sa harapan eyesore kasi at maging part ng upgrade ng wet market kung sakali .
Kung puede nga lang sana alisin totally yung public market doon at ilipat ..kaso it has been there for decades.

Where exactly was Spectrum Towers supposed to be located?

It's in Las Pinas but I noticed a lot of buildings going up in TS Cruz subdivision, some are small offices and some are apartment buildings. And then sandwiched between them are squatters.

Spectrum Centre is located near the intersection of Corporate and Commerce Ave. right across Insular Life.

It was supposed to be the flagship office complex within this CBD similar to Rockefeller Centre in NY or Pacific Place in HK.

I also noticed the development happening in TS Cruz. But before Daang Hari was built, that place was a slum.

But TS Cruz is still a lower middle class subdivision that is not spared by informal settlers inside.

I think the rendering shown for Spectrum Centre is updated ,but it's status is on-hold . Indeed , the site is prime at Corporate corner Commerce avenues fronting Festival mall and across the iconic Insular Life towers . The fenced area almost occupies a whole block .
I wonder why Filinvest could not built the office complex when they already built several towers in FCC.
I really hope though that they will still build this flagship project, perhaps on a joint venture with another investor?
The fenced area maybe an eyesore , but what could be more eyesore is , if they had built it and becomes unfinished ( like Jaka ) at least its just a fence which they could easily tore down if the project will not really pushed through.

Because the company tend to focus on high-rise condos instead of office towers.

But I do hope Filinvest would consider constructing this building because the demand of office space is growing.

I just hate it when you see various developments happening in further south when FCC is not yet filled.

In fact one of the first residential developments, The Aspen Tower was originally supposed to be 4 towers.

Well, FLI is the developer of PBCom the tallest tower in Makati. Right now they're building Entrata and the Levels, they might be spending too much capital if they build Spectrum as well.

I don't know, I never liked Aspen, and now the paint is bad, although they say it's nice inside. FCC seems to be maximizing their profits by developing FCC themselves, not only will they get profit from the land, but from the towers themselves as well. This "slow growth" might be a long term strategy for the viability of the company. Typical conservative Chinese?

I wouldn't want Megaworld to be anywhere near Alabang, I hate their cookie cutter projects, not another Venice themed whatever project.

But I heard though that MW has a property in the Alabang vicinity but not in FCC.
In fairness to FCC , they are building continuously in their ideal business district as Entrata, The Levels , Studio City and some medium to high rise office buildings @ NorthGate. Entrata has an office component in their next two towers.
By the way, Britanny Corp/Vista will also put up a 15-hectare commercial/lifestyle center called Pontevia in their Portofino Alabang project which is the main core of their almost 600-hectare township development along the stretch of Daang Hari Road .
Branches of Mcdonalds -DT and Pizza Hut are already in operation. Maybe, in anticipation to the opening/operations of the future 4-km Daang Hari/SLEX link road which will be built by Ayala Corp.

Holy! Villar owns 600 ha along Daang hari? The guy is making a killing.

FLI seems to be riding on the condo boom as well by building the projects themselves, but more or less construction has been continuous anyway.

The problems are cropping up early though, Daang Hari has opened a floodway of vehicles from Cavite. Hopefully the Daang Hari Slex connector will solve all that.

Both Commerce and A-Z is traffic during the rush hours, what a drag. I think there should be long term planning for a mass transport system already like a BRT which I posted on the BRT thread.

I'm sure it will improve once there are more locators, to be honest I like the way it looks now, it always looks new because of all the empty blocks, like it's always a new project.

FCC has more trees, and eventually the roads would get a new layer of asphalt. But given the traffic now, all going to Commerce Avenue and A-Z road, it would probably be hell if all the office buildings get built.

If the FEU lot will be a campus, I hope the structures are taller so that there will be more space and vast greeneries conducive to learning academics. Malay mo , baka maging mala-Rockwell yung Corporate Woods zone ng FCC in the future.
Okay na rin ang school for a start on Corporate Woods , para naman magkarooon ng activities doon , tutal magiging walkable na iyan once fully completed na yung major expansion ng Festival Supermall.
Sana along with the enhancement of the creek ay makapagpagawa din ng
central park with an open field surrounded by lush greeneries , kasi tila ni-retain ng Filinvest yung mga old trees wayback Alabang Stock Farm days .
As a trivia of sorts yung Guwapings ( Mark, Eric, Jomari ) teen horror-adventure movie ay sa dating stock farm nag shoot ,,gubat pa talaga at talahiban ang lugar nung panahong iyon, ang maging isa sa pinakamaayos na business district ay isa nang napakalaking achievement.

Alabang Zapote, in front of Madrigal should be widened, they could chop off a bit of the property of Elsie Gatches. And then at Concha Cruz as well, a right turn slot should be provided for those going inside BF and the stoplight should be reinstalled as well. Beyond that going to Southmall, I don't know, Las Pinas should implement strict traffic rules and maybe some widening as well in the Pilar area. Basically the traffic from Southmall goes all the way to Alabang.

I'm just wondering why the Friendship routes in LP isn't helping that much, due to the toll fees imposed by the villages? And you can't even go straight to Southmall if you don't have a sticker when you've paid almost P100 in toll fees already.

Just some thoughts on how to decongest A-Z and Commerce.

But I heard though that MW has a property in the Alabang vicinity but not in FCC.
In fairness to FCC , they are building continuously in their ideal business district as Entrata, The Levels , Studio City and some medium to high rise office buildings @ NorthGate. Entrata has an office component in their next two towers.
By the way, Britanny Corp/Vista will also put up a 15-hectare commercial/lifestyle center called Pontevia in their Portofino Alabang project which is the main core of their almost 600-hectare township development along the stretch of Daang Hari Road .
Branches of Mcdonalds -DT and Pizza Hut are already in operation. Maybe, in anticipation to the opening/operations of the future 4-km Daang Hari/SLEX link road which will be built by Ayala Corp.

Based sa google maps , yung Portofino Heights, the first phase of Portofino development including the 15-hectare Pontevia commercial center as well as the Daang-Hari /SLEX link road is still in Muntinlupa boundary.
Once na complete siguro yung link road , the area will have lots of potential. Sa Molino area may itatayo na Starmall at sa Dasmarinas ay Ayala mall naman .

CRIMSON HOTEL FILINVEST CITY MANILA

CRIMSON HOTEL FILINVEST CITY - MANILA is the premier business and conference hotel in Southern Metro Manila opening by November 2012. It is characterized by personal yet unobtrusive service, spacious and elegant guestrooms and suites, state-of-the-art conference facilities and industry innovations. The hotel combines authentic Filipino hospitality with a contemporary urbane flare and meticulous attention to detail. It is located within Filinvest City, one of the foremost business and commercial districts in Metro Manila just 20 minutes from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Its prime location provides convenient access to key business areas, shopping, dining and entertainment locales, golf courses and theme parks.

Quote:
“Some people have this perception that Alabang is far, but one only needs to actually experience coming here to be delightfully surprised,” says FAI EVP Kate Ilagan.

The place is specifically Filinvest Corporate City. And it will use Manila instead of Muntinlupa since the city is part of Metro Manila and that people around the world recognize Manila more than Muntinlupa.

Alabang is considered far because most foreign tourists visiting The Philippines do not drive. If you notice most of them stick to Manila, Makati and to some extent Ortigas because of accessibility to public transportation.

Even if the PNR Orange Line travels to this area.

That is why you rarely see foreign tourists in Southside Metro Manila or Eastwood City.

Foreigners who stay in hotels such as Viviere or Bellevue are for business, not leisure. And I'm sure that would be the same with Crimson.

Local Manileños especially those not coming from the south do not have to venture out south since they can find the same commercial needs in their own area especially those coming from Makati or Quezon City. Except for PF Chang and other nice eateries within Alabang or BF Homes..

Hey guys, take a look at this:

MANILA - Far Eastern University Inc. has acquired a property in Alabang, Muntinlupa, the company told the local bourse.

In a meeting on Tuesday, FEU’s board of trustees authorized the acquisition of a 2.2-hectare lot in the Woods District of Filinvest Corporate City.

The property was acquired from Filinvest Alabang Inc., a subsidiary of Filinvest Development Corp.

The FEU board has authorized Lydia Echauz and Juan Miguel Montinola, the company's president and chief finance officer, respectively, to negotiate the terms and conditions of the acquisition and to sign and execute the documents related to the transaction on behalf of the company.

With the completion of Skyway S2 , the supporting infrastructures are in place at may mga nagawa na silang communities within Lakefront , notably Presidio, La Posada , Marina Heights at Marfori , not to mention the sprouting of several midrise residential communities in that corridor .
If they have plans to build Star Mall there , hopefully its a mixed-use complex and make it their flagship , para sumunod
na rin magpatayo ang Robinson which also has a huge property across Lakefront commercial zone. Robinson has already a midrise - residential community on the rise there called Escalades South Metro.
The former Makro Sucat is now an SM Hypermarket and within the vicinity also.

Planning Democracy

August 8th, 2012, 09:55 AM

The floods are caused by the rising lake waters, so this is actually a yearly event. If you are gonna live near a body of water, make sure the property has a high elevation like on a hill or something, otherwise it's gonna be a yearly disaster. They can elevate their houses or just expect to live in a evacuation center for at least 2 weeks every year, plus the hassle of cleaning your stuff, damage to property, threat of diseases. I mean floodwaters are mixed with sewage.

Anyway, I'm a convert of the plastic bag ban, I still believe that the life cycle of paper bags release more CO2, but at least Munti has a distinct character.
