^^ you mean it would be connected to the mall through a bridge?

^^ mao....before giannounce nila na magbutang daw sila og pawnshop sa Skyrise 1. Wa sila kuyapi? ma out of place uroy ang ilang pawnshop..weeeeee....may na lang wa nila giadayun. or basi nasa planning stage gihapon! eehehhehehe

Aw 10 storeys ra diay? eheheheheh 15 man gud ang giannounce sa amoa. Our company were advised of it kay mokuha man pud daw og space ang PS dira.

actually, the move to put-up a pawnshop in the Asian IT Park is a result of the recent study conducted by a professional research company in cebu, hired by Ayala, to conduct a survey on what establishments/shops would hit and complement with the lifestyle of Asia IT Park workers. Surprisingly, a pawnshop is in the top 3 lists na gusto ng mga workers to have in the IT Park, so as a 24 hour coffee shop where workers can rest and take a nap. This move (to put-up a pawnshop) is actually surprising, but this is based on what the IT Park workers want to have in the park.

^^ yeah..that's really surprising. Maybe they asked the wrong peeps..lolz...kidding!

IMO, a convenience store should be on top of the list.

I can't see the need for the pawnshop.

^^ na-a ba'y news about ana bai?

*** traffic is very bad at Gen. Maxilom Ave. - was this the main reason why they had to transfer to a new location? ...did the city government refuse to renew their business permit...? if so, then I don't think the vacated SHS building will be Ateneo's future campus in Cebu...


***however, there is one now in Cebu for Ateneo's Graduate School of Business (extension campus) in which they are only renting rooms at Cebu Holdings, Inc. building...

Madayun jd ang Ateneo sa Cebu? Will they convert the old Sacred Heart for Boy's into Ateneo de Cebu?

dungog nako sa pag sturya sa mga jesuit priests ngari sa admu, wala daw sila kadungog na himuong Ateneo de Cebu at SHS-J. Pero siguradong mubutang ug tertiary level ang SHSJ. Basin musupak man gud ang alumni sa name change. Pwede man gihapong lahi-lahiun ang pangan sa university pero heswita gihapon. ex. Fordham univ, University of San Francisco, Boston College, Xavier University.
@jhaelnis, himuong seminaryo ang karaang campus kay medyo huot na tingali sa ubang seminaryo sa heswita labina sa san carlos seminary sa loyola heights.

i saw the rendering of the Cebu North Coastal Road... anyone not busy out there can take a pic pls...

Marriott keen on managing another hotel, resort in Cebu
By Ehda M. Dagooc
Monday, July 9, 2007

Marriott Hotel International may manage another hotel or resort in Cebu if it finds a right partner and the right site that would meet the international management firm’s standards.

“Cebu has a lot of potential. It is a booming tourism destination, with growing international flights available,” said Cebu City Marriott Hotel general manager Roy Abraham.

Although the primary focus of expansion of Marriott International now is in China and India, the Philippines is also an emerging country for expansion of the company.

In the Philippines, Marriott International has partnered with Ayala Hotels Inc. for its managed properties here, the Cebu City Marriott Hotel and the Renaissance Hotel in Manila.

He said Marriott owners have high interest in managing hotel or resort property in Cebu, provided that it can find a right partner as developer. Next projects may not be with the Ayala Hotels.

He also mentioned that Cebu, being able to host five-star resorts like Shangri-La Mactan Island Resort, and Cebu Hilton Resort and Spa, there is also a possibility that the Group’s luxury brand, Ritz Carlton will soon find its way to Cebu.

Cebu, is trying to position itself as a “high-end” destination, attracting quality tourists, not in quantity. In fact, it started to attract increasing number of wealthy Europeans, Russians, as well as recovering more high-spender Japanese tourists.

Now, that the economy in the Philippines has slowly rebounded from the lingering effects of the 1997 regional economic crash, he said investors are starting to consider investments especially in tourism related projects, specifically in Cebu.

For the last couple of years, Marriott Hotels International had already been approached by several investors wanting to offer partnerships for another resort, or hotel projects in Cebu, but Abraham said the company is cautious in choosing business partners.

The Cebu City Marriott Hotel, positioned as a business hotel is registering an average occupancy rate of 50 percent to 60 percent in the last few days. It is strong with corporate guests, and also getting growing number of leisure travelers from different countries.

He said Marriott Hotels Inc., is now looking at the entire Asia, as its growth area, aside from China, and India.

The company is open for good opportunities for expansion in Cebu, and other areas in the Philippines, he reiterated.

In fact, in 2009 the company will be managing a Marriott Hotel in Manila, in partnership with MegaWorld.

“In the last two years, the Philippines is doing pretty good. Investors are coming in,” Abraham added.

Lagi pero the reason why the Celestial August Mayor (Hail! Ave! Morituri te Salutamos!! :master: :master:) won't allow the construction is that the property where it's supposed to be built has already been foreclosed due to non-payment of taxes.

Who knows, if construction of the said building will be given a green light, it might not even be finished at all thus posing a danger to passersby.

They were not able to pay taxes, how much more with building and finishing a 40-storey skyscraper..

Osmeña nixes Citicenter’s plan for high-rise building

Mayor Tomas Osmeña will not allow the owners of Citicenter Commercial Complex in barangay Kamagayan to build a 40-storey building there, saying that the city already decided to foreclose the property for non-payment of close to P6 million in taxes.

Osmeña rejected the appeal of Bal Falcone, reportedly one of the owners of the one-hectare lot where the commercial complex is situated, to allow him to construct a world-class condominium project in the property.

The Citicenter Commercial Complex, built in the 80s and located on Sanciangko and Junquera Streets, has two structures that were once used as wet market and had commercial stalls.

Gabriel Abear, a consultant of Sto. Niño de Cebu Developers Inc. that owns the complex, said the company failed to pay its tax obligation to the city because the tenants have failed to pay the rentals also.

Abear said there are two or three lots in Kamagayan that the company owns and the area on Sanciangko Street where the wet market section is located has no pending tax obligation.

In representing Falcone, Abear asked the mayor to give them two or three months more to look for funds to pay for the tax dues on the other properties of the company.

Osmeña however said the owners of the complex had ignored the demand letters of the city treasurer’s office and this prompted the city to auction the property a few years ago.

City treasurer Tessie Camarillo said the unpaid real property taxes of the complex, as of December 2003, already reached P4.2 million. She said that, under the law, the city could sell the properties of the delinquent taxpayer to cover the tax dues and the costs of the sale.

Should the auctioned property is not sold, then the city government through its treasurer could buy it instead. A delinquent taxpayer has the right to redeem the property, within a year from the date of sale, but he or she must pay two per cent interest on top of the amount of the property.

Osmeña said that since the redemption period had already lapsed, the city government would now move to forfeit the rights of the complex owners.

Abear however contended that the company could file a case against the mayor and the city treasurer if they would not allow the owner to redeem its properties.

“P200 million ang kantidad anang maong property unya ila rang imbargohon tungod sa gamay kaayong buhis nga wala kabayri?” he said.

Abear said that if Osmeña would grant the request, the company would enter into a joint venture with a foreign funding firm for the construction of the high-rise building.

There are other plans of the mayor however and he said the city would convert the place into a sunken park and pond, which would be designed to minimize floods in the downtown area during downpour. — Rene U. Borromeo/RAE

^^ ^^ @ Jimbu

Thanks for the info


Mayor Tom, is really idiot Mayor... he always opposed some of the proposed projects in the city... he always doing that... thinking of his own interest only...

If this project will pursue ... for sure that area will be clean.... and now will be safe to the public during night time... Downtown ambiance will be change... it will be congruent to the development in Pelaez St. & Sanciangco St.,,, what we call the "Business School and USC Hotel"....


Tommy Osmena Resign!!!!!

Tommy Osmena Resign!!!!!



One thing I've noticed about Tomas is that he keeps on issuing wild proposals that are either out of this world or won't be implemented at all. Counting chicks before they hatch, as they say.

Much better si Gwen Garcia kay naa jud action.

Remember he said before that the uncovered portion of the SRP will be converted into a landing strip for seaplanes. Where is it now? There was also the proposal for a man made white sand beach, restaurant strips, etc. Karon, muran ra man ug tambakanan ug asphalto ang Kawit Point, hahahahaha...

And then there's this proposal to build a so-called underground river in the middle of our roads. I'm even having doubts about that ala-Zoobic Safari in Cebu Zoo and that "new barangay" in Pardo. Maypa ihatag nalang na niya ni Gwen, kay naa pay mahitabo nga positivo.. :bash:

Last term na ni Tomas karon, mag six years na ever since he said that he will make Cebu City number 1 again and I haven't seen any major project in the city yet. Nahurot cguro bayad utang sa SRP, dili pa jud mudawat tabang ni Gwen... Hangtod karon hugaw lang gihapon ang downtown, daghan tulis, bank robberies, etc..etc.. Na-unsa naman ni ui.. :bash:

Tommy Osmena Resign!!!!!


^^ I dont wanna add insult to the injury but hmmmm Osmena is a known associate of our boss - the Kings. And the Fuente Towers are known originally as the project of the Osmeñas. The upcoming project (if pursued) would eventually be a prime competitor of our on going project - the Ultima Residences Fuente Osmena Tower. I'm wondering....d kaya uhmmmmmmmm...ah basta..wag lang sya magpapahalata!

^^

ei JEch.... karon pa diay ko, diba we were talking about Abuhan Dos that was owned by Osmeña? (the chinese Osmeña, I think si Ed Osmena) I think he also owns Kan-Irag Hotel.

I'm not sure though if he has a share with Club Ultima.. :dunno:

^^

I'm not sure though if he still has a share with Club Ultima.. :dunno:

Hi musta na?

Although they do not have a direct share with Fuente Towers, their family is one of the exclusive marketing arms of Fuente Triangle. If the upcoming 40 storey competitor will be put in silence forever, then this would really benefit the other Osmeñas who happened to be closely affiliated with the one in the seat right now. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee la lang...just my observation..ehehehhe musta na?

^^

haha, but I think the 40-storey condominium is kinda low-cost but I'm not sure.. :dunno:

Imagine a 40-storey condom (or Motel?) right at the heart of the red light district, hahahahaha...


Jarenz is also right. Such real estate development could serve as a catalyst for the development of that area in downtown..


..

^^ I agree with Jarenz too.. low cost or not, it would definitely spur the development of that zone. Anyway, the lowest cost of a condominium in Cebu City is around 1 Million plus. Hmmmmmmmmmm so d rin basta basta na project.

^^

And that area of downtown would look like this :okay:

Honestly, I would rather have those skyscrapers in SRP, CBP Or North Recla.

If ever there's going to be a real estate development in downtown, it should deal with the restoration and adaptive-reuse of the old buildings -- and some serious landscaping, hehehe :okay:


Here are examples of adaptive-reuse

re the 40 storey condo

if tomas won't allow it built in his city, why not build it in mandaue or lapu lapu? that's one of the advantages of being a metropolitan right?

look at metro manila now, cities are competing with each other just to house several important companies... imagine, who would expect that in 3 years time, Philippine Stock Exchange's new address is Bonifacio Global City, Taguig?

^^ This is possible if and only if Cebu has a zoning code...Do we already have one?

To achieve that arnold, it is best if the local government would offer incentives to those developers who would put their highrise projects on the said areas.

re the 40 storey condo

if tomas won't allow it built in his city, why not build it in mandaue or lapu lapu? that's one of the advantages of being a metropolitan right?

look at metro manila now, cities are competing with each other just to house several important companies... imagine, who would expect that in 3 years time, Philippine Stock Exchange's new address is Bonifacio Global City, Taguig?

coz this certain developer does not have any prime properties to be developed but this. Unless Mayor would consider another land swap deal, then maybe the investor would bite this offer.

Yup I think we do have a city ordinance on zoning.

In fact, in the Cebu City Forums, Councilor Joy Pesquera is tapping some suggestions regarding the development of downtown.

I gave here some pictures though and she told me that the conversion of Carbon Market/Freedom Park into what it was before, a Plaza/Park, has been considered.

For me, the problem lies with political will especially with our Emperor.

Well then, the local government has to implement such zoning ordinance! I still believe in his capacity as a Mayor though.

^^

Nah... He's no longer the same Tomas before. He's becoming like John Osmeña for me, vindictive as they say in the newspapers.

I would rather have Gwen Garci or Gabby Leyson as Mayor of Cebu .

Gabby Leyson is very much infrastructure minded.. :okay:

Real estate in Cebu is booming but there's an uneven balance between it and basic infrastructure.


..

jeck, i still believe in the saying, if there's a will, there's certainly a way! if i were the mayor of mandaue or LA pupu, i would really lure the owners of that enterprise to put up their building in my city. il make the process a walk in the park for them, so that means no red tape, no under the table transactions, etc. i can even give them tax incentives and many other stuffs just for them to consider my city instead of that city being manned by a selfish, childish and self righteous mayor! and tomas is his name!


coz this certain developer does not have any prime properties to be developed but this. Unless Mayor would consider another land swap deal, then maybe the investor would bite this offer.

very well said, am agreeing by a 100%.

^^ anyway, bigyan ko kayo ng updates ha...uhmmmmmm mabilis po ang construction ng upcoming stripmall here in Asiatown which would replace the all time famouse The Village! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

^^ maybe date of completion is end of this year, so they only have less than 6 months to go, considering that december is the best time to open a business.. people have lots of moolah and january of course is sinulog month!

Hey I have a photo of the construction but damn it I just reformatted my SD Card.

Anyway, di man kaayo dako ang beams. From the look of it, it seems to be just a 2-storey structure but I'm not sure.. :okay:


Div is right, the building might be finished in just a few months time.

Age wise bai, we're already qualified for the city council.

Any plans for 2010?



..

^^ i don't think i can qualify... im sure il be having residency issues... hahaha!

^^ honestly? I want to run! I want to enter the local politics. ehehehehehehe! By the way, what's the age requirement pala? Im still 24 pa man. Mag SSG na lang sa ko

if i were filthy rich, i would definitely run for a public office in cebu, but i might not run in cebu city, maybe mandaue or lapu2. i think my chances of winning is so slim given that im so much anti-BOPK as of this time... i don't know where they'd want cebu to be in the short term and long term... the policies they're implementing right now makes me ask if they're sure with what they want for their city!?!

^^ I agree....by the way, unsay meaning sa BOPK? I'm so naive with the parties here in cebu.

I believe that the baton has already been passed to our generation...The success of our cities and this country relies on us! Not those old folks! they gotta rest na! They've done their part. Kudos to them! Now its our turn!

Unfortunately, the young officials are mostly sons, daughters or other close relatives of entrenched political families. Nepotism and political families are so institutionalized now that only a very few dynasties seem to have the right to govern, protecting their economic and social interests and preventing others, perhaps more competent and dedicated persons, to serve.

@tj: As I said, SSC members could create a party with representations nationwide and even worldwide. Run for mayor na! :lol:

hope they convert colon st. into a heratage site.. and remove those squatters and eyesores in the area....

hope that cebu becomes a second makati in the philippines..

Which is why these young mayors had a chance to win in the first place. Name me a city official in their early-mid twenties not related with any incumbent or powerful political families and I'll be impressed.

..

^^could that be the 'theme-parkish' ride feature of the hotel?

^^

wow, amazing.. or could it be the "Crown" logo?

... my friend and I passed by the area where Ramos Tower will be built... we took a peek and it looks like there is some digging/excavation going on.... we saw a very busy backhoe there....

Thats good news! So in the next 6-12 months we'll several structures above ground namely: Ultima Residences, Ramos Tower, JY center 3, Citylights Tower 4, Grand Cenia, Hong Kong Plaza Hotel, Lexmark Tower 2, maybe Tower Palace, TGU tower, Sky rise 2, and I3 :banana: Yup thats 10 new cranes sticking out in 2008, an incredible boom!!

^^

Amazing,

Highrise buildings currently under construction now:

1.) Grand Cenia
2.) Hongkong Plaza Hotel
3.) Lexmark Building
4.) Ultima Residences
5.) Ramos Tower
6.) TGU Tower
7.) Citylights Condo
8.) Tower Palace


What else?

Hehe..

Tommy is Tommy... pasagdi... he is intelligent enough to make decisions that are crucial to the city.

running the city is like running a business... you make decisions that are good for your business...

a 40 storey proposal is only a proposal... if they can build it then why can't they pay their taxes?

*why would the city entertain projects that are not willing to pay taxes? do you know the risks and disadvanatages of new projects (not willing to pay taxes) to other businessmen who are paying taxes?

*about CIUDAD... do you think the provincial govt. will pay taxes to the city? how many entrepreneurs will lose market share if this mall rise and is not paying taxes? do you think other malls will not protest?

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1399/842982913_c22634ce6b_o.jpg


wow....:banana: :banana: :banana: clean street...

One thing I've noticed about Tomas is that he keeps on issuing wild proposals that are either out of this world or won't be implemented at all. Counting chicks before they hatch, as they say.

Much better si Gwen Garcia kay naa jud action.

Remember he said before that the uncovered portion of the SRP will be converted into a landing strip for seaplanes. Where is it now? There was also the proposal for a man made white sand beach, restaurant strips, etc. Karon, muran ra man ug tambakanan ug asphalto ang Kawit Point, hahahahaha...

And then there's this proposal to build a so-called underground river in the middle of our roads. I'm even having doubts about that ala-Zoobic Safari in Cebu Zoo and that "new barangay" in Pardo. Maypa ihatag nalang na niya ni Gwen, kay naa pay mahitabo nga positivo.. :bash:

Last term na ni Tomas karon, mag six years na ever since he said that he will make Cebu City number 1 again and I haven't seen any major project in the city yet. Nahurot cguro bayad utang sa SRP, dili pa jud mudawat tabang ni Gwen... Hangtod karon hugaw lang gihapon ang downtown, daghan tulis, bank robberies, etc..etc.. Na-unsa naman ni ui.. :bash:




..


I vote for Gwen for all the projects here in Cebu, because Gwen is thinking for the development in Cebu but for Tom, he is only thinking for his own interest, money that he could get from that project, and a marketing strategy i guess against his competitors...


I go for resignation of Tom .... and replace with a new and better one...that is optimistic and futuristic type of Mayor...


Mayor Tom is always sitting on his chair in Office and feeding his tommy a lot of money... a lot of useless tax that he gain from the city

Idiot Mayor!!!!

Jarenz is also right. Such real estate development could serve as a catalyst for the development of that area in downtown...

Not only that but it will change the ambience for that place from red spot to green spot


The criminal elements will be vanished then...




^^

And that area of downtown would look like this :okay:

tsk2x... this statement is childish... :bash: i really hate it when people go overboard.

there are a lot of reasons why "WE" Cebu City residents trust "OUR" Mayor... some people may not understand him... but for the "MANY" Cebuanos who voted for him, we know that he can steer "CEBU CITY" to its success... and it is already a "PROVEN FACT" more than a million times...

pls. read my previous statements...

^^I 100% agree ---> track record. :)

add to this the IT bldg of Ayala in Asiatown. I've learned that they will start construction sometime this month or perhaps in August. It's a 12-storey btw.

^^

I hope ang Country Club mahimong business park or IT park.. is it possible kaha? perhaps in the future?

If it's a city project maybe yes, but if for the provncial gov't, I doubt! It's in Banilad right? hehe

re: tomas

a friend of mine, a doctor, revealed something to me about tom's medical condition... he has a SERIOUS medical problem.

i like him durng his term with gov. lito, that was a great partnership, but lately, he's acting like a bully. look at how traffic was mismanaged, we cant solely blame him on this but he could have controlled it, he's on the top of the situation and he has the authority to get things done, but i am not impressed with the way he's handling things lately, my trust rating for him nosedived.

yup youre right kuya resty.. :D

ok,,, sorry if i offended anybody... its just my opinion

I know he's done a lot in this city....since before....

I warmly salute all of it... i mean achievements....

I just really hate for the projects that he opposed or don't give approval to it....

but now he change a lot most esp. in city development...

ok so much for this stuff... Sorry everyone....

-END-

^ Even if it its just your own opinion, its so immature for you to brand Tomas as an "idiot", that's a personal attack here in SkyscraperCity. :)

I myself may have lost a little confidence on Tomas's way of managing the city. But I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, after all, its his last term as the mayor of the city.

Thanks for the updates, Consolacion is booming! :cool:

LGU bares 3-yr development plan (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/ceb/2007/07/20/bus/lgu.bares.3.yr.development.plan.html)

IT may be a small town for now, but Consolacion will be Cebu’s destination for business and tourism.

“You can expect maximum progress for Consolacion in the next three years,” said Mayor Avelino Gungob in the sidelines of the launching of a residential subdivision project in the town last Wednesday.

He said his administration will also work for the cityhood of Consolacion in 2009.

He said a feasibility study has been conducted for the development of a 207.9-hectare lot near Cansaga Bay for a mixed-use facility that will feature high-rise commercial centers like shopping malls, theme parks, casinos and golf course, among others.

The project will affect Barangays Cansaga, Nangka, Tugbungan, Tayud and Jugan.

Giant project

The multi-billion peso development project, which will be one of the “giant developments” in Consolacion, is expected to begin before 2009, Gungob said.

He said about 20 hectares of the development will be allotted for government centers, another 20 hectares for commercial centers, 80 hectares for tourism estates, and 60 hectares for an international golf course.

He said about 10 hectares of the entire property have already been developed.

Even before the project became known, Gungob said the local government has been receiving several inquiries from potential local and foreign investors who have seen the strong potential of the place for business and tourism-related activities.

In an interview with Sun.Star Cebu, the town mayor said among those who initially expressed interest are the Sy-led SM group, and foreign investors from the US, Malaysia, Korea and Japan.

Ongoing

He said the SM group may be planning to use the area for another shopping and entertainment mall that is similar to the Mall of Asia in Manila.

He said construction of the Fooda shopping mall is ongoing and the establishment is expected to open this October.

Another development cited by the mayor is a mountain coastal drive, a farm-to-market road that will traverse Barangays Cansaga, Danlag, Tilhaong, Garing, Panas and Lanipga.

A road network in the hinterlands is expected to increase investments in real estate and agri-industrial sector, he said.

In the last two years, Consolacion has seen real estate property development mushroom, increasing revenues for the local
government.

The Municipal Government expects to generate more than P100 million in revenues this year with the entry of new developments, Gungob said, adding that Consolacion is currently earning P83 million.

“We will be in the front page of economic stability,” Gungob said

it has already started contruction a few months back... the tower crane is already being installed as the foundations are already done.

Any pics? Where is it located within Asiatown?

^^ rage@cebu speaking:
I thought it was JY IT Building. My mistake.

^^ok. because like @tj said, no sign of construction activity yet. also, i've confirmed what @diehard saw at Ramos tower site. there are already pre-construction activities there.

Did you know that that area there was supposed to be the site for a new Cebu City government center (new city hall and other city gov't offices in just one area)?

^^ as always, nice pics bai @slemarken

how tall is I3? the rebars used are too small for a midrise bldg..

thanx for the updates guys..


'twas reported to be 18 storeys high. but if you will look inside, the rebars are just actually the inner portion of bigger columns. and from the looks of it, i think that it will really go up to 18.

i hope so, it would be nice to have a new hi.rise @ Asiatown... pero the bars are really small, i've checked it last night while passing and sorry to say it but the bars are not for hi.rise structures...

the diggings @ skiyrise2 is in fullswing... i just hope all construction projects @ asiatown would be visible in the city skyline before the year.ends :cheers:

update:

the lot across fgu is now being fenced.. its as big as pioneer's..

hmm i heard sometime ago on the thread that a 8-12 storey building was to be started in CBP this year. Could it be this? Or better yet that Insular bldg. proposal

nah it's too small for Insular, and its not on Insular's lot. maybe another tiny winy bank, much like Security Bank and Metrobank, because they are all in the same block.

yip it's another bank (RCBC), sorry to disappoint you guyz but it's only two-stories :ohno:

Basin 16 storey as Jarenz stated in another thread kay Triskaidekaphobic baya ang mga tao. hehe

^ Any activity is good news :) Is the restaurant strip besides the TGU site?

Asia town is on overdrive! I3, Skyrise2, TGU, the Village and now this 16-storey bldg by CHI. Considering Asiatown is only a couple of blocks, this is impressive.

Regarding the JY IT Center 3


15 or 16 storeys... not so sure with it
because they still have changes with it... I will just update you guys....

also the building will be mix used with JY Annex Mall... Still not yet final or confirmed if they will put a bridge from JY Discovery Mall to JY IT Center 3

Asia town is on overdrive! I3, Skyrise2, TGU, the Village and now this 16-storey bldg by CHI. Considering Asiatown is only a couple of blocks, this is impressive.

in addition for this one...

People Support Center Cebu [15-storeys] [university type edifice]

maybe they will start the project early month of Feb 2008

That's really good news! Maybe in the near future, they would demolish those midgets and replace them with Skyscrapers. hehehe... :banana:

^^ Im impressed! Anyway, I also passed by that area two days ago and saw the same announcement. It seemed like they're still clearing up the area. No major construction activity yet.

i hope so, it would be nice to have a new hi.rise @ Asiatown... pero the bars are really small, i've checked it last night while passing and sorry to say it but the bars are not for hi.rise structures...

the diggings @ skiyrise2 is in fullswing... i just hope all construction projects @ asiatown would be visible in the city skyline before the year.ends :cheers:

Speaking of Skyrise 2 - I aint sure if someone had already posted the rendering of SkyRise 2.

Anyway, if ala pa...here it is:

^^ PeopleSupport Center...tabi ng Sky2. Kaso wala pang rendering and its between 12 to 15 storeys. as per Bong Borja, Pres of Phil Operations, dapat mahuman na daw by 2009. Kay gubaon man kuno ng e-office bay one and two and it would be redevelop to midrise to highrise structure. Then by that time, dapat makabalhin na ang other accounts sa PS which are now @ eoffice sa new PS Center.

Hay...i hope i ll still be with PS at that time.

There has been a lot of partial retention wall collapses recently. It makes you worry a bit

12-storey IT bldg of the Ayalas (already has a tenant which will occupy about 60% of the building. it's a big american company.)

actually they will build two but i have no further details yet about the 2nd one.

my friend's partner is tasked to look for an available space in Cebu for BPO operations (will employ over 500 employees) in the future.

How about in the 15-storeys TG Tower (AITP) ... will looking for locators and tenants there....

500 sqm./per tenants

Ive heard that the developer of Synergy IT Center is also looking for tenants to occupy some of the building's floors which are unoccupied by Sykes.

JY IT Center is a nice option too.

Gaisanos will be building an IT center too.

and the Taft IT Zone has no tenants pa rin! Those are few of the options....

where exactly will skyrise2 rise? (hehehe)

yup its a 2-storey bank

nice one! try to dig-out the rendering of the 24 story OPASCOR building in NRA (beside cebu daily news building)... i heard tapos na raw ito. tenks!

This was posted in June of 2007, has anyone have news on this one?

yup its a 2-storey bank

considering that Jones is Cebu City's main thoroughfare, i think that the city government ought to come up with an ordinance that would implement a minimum height requirement for the area...

why? it would make the place look more aesthetically pleasing :)

besides, like i've been saying again and again, midgets are a waste of space

have you seen this building guys?

This is Pioneer House Cebu - home of Pioneer Insurance & Pioneer Life. It is also the home of Accenture Cebu. The building is located in Cebu Business Park.

Did you notice something? Take note of the lamp post in the last photo. All throughout the building's construction, it did not exist. Then all of a sudden - voila! Instant lamp post for you!

Do you know why? I don't know. Maybe it's because PGMA came to inaugurate the Accenture facility the day the last phot was taken. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

^^Haha... nice observation weather!

^^ that was some kind of an expressive observation though.. hehehe. :D

^^

I think the lamp post was there all along. Ang angle lang sa pag shoot sa photo..

^^agree. i think it has something to do with the angle when the photo was taken. besides, the banner has July 10, 2007 on it while PGMA was here just last week i think hehehe...

are the annoying wires going too? and what's with the yellow rails?

Advisory:

The City Government will issue today a "work stoppage order" to HONGKONG PLAZA HOTEL.... i think this has something to do with the recent landslide on the construction site which affected one part of the road... i guess this is all about safety concern for the motorists...

Who is the contractor for this project?

are the annoying wires going too? and what's with the yellow rails?

That yellow color can also be seen in any other streets in Cebu City. It was made as part of the preparation for the ASEAN Summit last year.

as @diehard mentioned, block 10 that was bought by the gokongwei's is already being demolished. majority if not all of the structure is demolished. any moment soon, we'll be seeing this whole block to be free from any structures.

^^ ...we'll be seeing another Robinson's very soon!


***********

JOLLIBEE WATCH:

...i've seen another Jollibee logo in the soon-to-open branch at ACT IT MALL

Really!! another Robinson's mall, where's the location??

it's across the burnt white gold dept store.

^^Is it the one with the 2 towers for BPO offices?

watch out for the E-Office Towers in ATIP that will kick off probably 2010 or 2011

^floor count?

as @diehard mentioned, block 10 that was bought by the gokongwei's is already being demolished. majority if not all of the structure is demolished. any moment soon, we'll be seeing this whole block to be free from any structures.

Hopefully this will spur the rehabilitation of the North Reclamation Area. :okay:

Next target for development should be the old White Gold property.

^floor count?

no further info yet... AITP has the limitation of 21-storeys I think... so maybe it will reach as high as 15-18storeys....

i think the limit is not about how many floor counts but by FAR (floor to area ratio).
supposing a certain block has a FAR of 10, and the size is, this is an example only, 2000 sq.m, you multiply 10 and 2000 you have 20000 sq.m.
if the floor area per level is 1000 sq.m, then you have 20 floors.
now i dont know if i have explained it correctly but that is how i understood it as explained by a friend hehe..

Is that the Cebu Commercial Towers at post 868? I don't like the red tiles that much...

Thanks so much for the pics!

Let me just clarify, the official name of Asiatown isn't Asiatown I.T. Park but Asiatown and I.T. Park, right?
