^^ pigeon hole! :lol:

nice work great184. are you a lawyer? :lol:

- First why use a tower crane for a 5-storey building on such a small lot. Its impractical
- Second, its probably just the hotel Podium that just topped out.
- Third, having such a deep excavation for a small five story building is economically foolish, let alone time consuming. Only logical explanation for that would be a parking building for CBP.
- Fourth previous aerials shown differing sizes of columns, with the smaller ones designed for a few stories, and other columns that are so thick that it would be structural overkill for a low-rise
- Fifth, a forumer leaked CAD plans of the structure early last year, showing it to be above 20 floors.


Evidence proving that its going to be at least 20+ storeys.

Real estate firm to use rental pool for condotel

By Aireene Dacoscos
Cebu Daily News
First Posted 12:49:00 04/28/2008

CEBU CITY, Philippines - A real estate firm has conceptualized a “rental pool” system for its newest condotel project in Cebu City – The Grand Cenia Condotel and Residences.

Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI) will use the system to ensure that condotel owners will earn revenues from their condotel units.

In a rental pool system, condotel units are leased out when their owners are not using them. The units will be pooled and will be run like ordinary hotel rooms.

Each condotel unit owner will receive the income from the hotel management operations at the end of every quarter. And even if a room is not occupied, the owner will still get a share from the revenues.

“As long as there is revenue for a room, whether it's your room or somebody else, it doesn't matter. You're going to earn, you're going to have a share on the revenue,” said Tristan Las Marias, FLI vice president for Visayas and Mindanao.

“The shares on the revenues will be dependent upon the type of your unit and the number of nights that you have made it available to the hotel for its hotel operations,” he added.

A condotel combines the features of a condominium and a hotel.

Las Marias said the firm came up with concept for its condotel to reap the economic benefits of the tourism boom and the increasing number of OFWs working abroad.

He said he is optimistic that the condotel will gain more investors

He noted the Department of Tourism survey showing the 75 percent occupancy rate of hotels for the past four years in Cebu.

“The investment momentum for condotels is gaining,” said Las Marias. “It's starting to snowball already because the market is outside, it's not just in Cebu.

FLI started offering condotel units to the market in August 2007.

He said the price of each condotel unit ranges from P2.1 million to P2.3 million.

He said the Grand Cenia Condotel and Residences will open on 2011.

The condotel's construction started last April 26 after the groundbreaking ceremony led by the firm's officials.

where do you think will they locate fully-booked? im sure they chose one of the best spots in the pocket mall (based on my observation sa mga fully booked outlets here in manila)


... is that a logo of Gold's Gym? (see left side of the pic "The Walk")

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u177/Jarenz_038/Under%20Construction/itpark-1.jpg

same guess here... that's the old magellan's hotel, right?

The architecture of "The Walk" reminds me of "Bonifacio High Street"

^^ trip lang nako mam! :lol:

I don't think it's wise to say that an area is overdeveloped because of the worsening traffic that this area experiences. The problem with Bantal is that there's ONLY 1 road leading to that place, no alternative routes, and that's the problem, that's it. But when we talk about development, we should consider not the traffic situation but the actual figures that this area is contributing to the whole cebu city economy. if you think about it, Cebu City alone is not experiencing a 20% GDP increase on a year-to-year basis, so why would somebody say that there's overdevelopment???

Just to educate everyone about overdevelopment, i think the worst thing that can happen is that the economy will experience overheating. I strongly believe that this is far far from happening sa Cebu. This might help:

Overheated Economy:
When a prolonged period of good economic growth and activity causes high levels of inflation (from increased consumer wealth) and inefficient supply allocations as producers overproduce and create excess production capacity in an attempt to capitalize on the high levels of wealth. Unfortunately, these inefficiencies and inflation will eventually hinder the economy's growth and cause a recession.

when we talk about overdevelopment, what i have in mind is not related to the growth of the economy (in relation to local GDP) but more related to the quantity of buildings or intensity of use that is excessive in terms of its demand on the infrastructure and local services. as of now, bantal area is short of roads to compensate the overpopulation of commercial & residential developments. if this problem will not be addressed sooner then bantal area will experience overheating and economic bubble in the area might burst out of proportions.

:cheers:

a 7storey building will rise near St. Therese parish... JSY building a rendering can be seen facing the road, wasn't able to take a pic. :)

^ Dense! Thanks for the updates!

lowrises are currently being built

- at the back of the burnt Plaza Fair in Colon. Perhaps an extension of Colonnade? Quite massive

- Beside Cocomall near the old Cebu Doctors' College campus

- NRA (Qimonda IT Building)

- Across McDonalds in Lapu-Lapu City (quite a massive lowrise, hehe); near Resty's home, hehehe..



Also there's ongoing pile driving at the port area (Gothong area). I think they're going to build a finger berth...

- Across McDonalds in Lapu-Lapu City (quite a massive lowrise, hehe); near Resty's home, hehehe..


hehe. yeah, the Shang Mactan Town Center. still have no clue, no idea which shops are setting up out there. :)

^^

I was in Mandaue City just a while ago and I noticed the new buildings that have sprouted at the highway area (i.e Diamond Plaza).

If only there would be hundreds of them lining up there, then Mandaue City will look clean after all.. Hehe..

Status for Robinsons BPO Building [Fuente Osmeña]

Start to fenced the area...

^^ really bai...tuloy gyud diay sila diha...perhaps, we can expect a rendering to be put up in that area a few days from now ....plus, the sale of Block 10 in NRA has been approved in principle by COA ...soon, that area in NRA will be swarmed with construction workers in the coming months.... fingers crossed!

That's Bonifacio High Street in BGC..

If only they will develop that strip in the middle of Asiatown from "The Walk" all the way to eOffice, then we'll have our own smaller version of Bonifacio High Street.. Pero mura na sad ta ug KATKAT. Let's develop our own unique concept that can be replicated in BGC. hehehe..

Only half of Cyberzone is open bai and there's only one store that's open -- sony Ericsson..

I don't like the floor tiles.. Reminds me of the old floor tiles of the mall, hehe..

^^I passed by the walk today...super "soft opening" only a part of the fence was being opened. hehe..maka ask jud ka "are you sure nag soft opening?"

Anyway, SKYRISE 2 update: they've already started the painting with a blue and yellow combination. i'll take a pic this monday 'coz we don't have work from today.. :D

and sofitel is partially fenced now.

lowrises are currently being built

- Beside Cocomall near the old Cebu Doctors' College campus

yeah its a pension house not less than 6 stories...

I hope a highrise will be built at the Robinsons property in Fuente..

I think mag start na ang excavation or clearing pa cguro.

yep because i already saw a backhoe there.

Can Cebu have its own Projects and Constructions thread just like Taguig, Quezon, etc.?

We already have lots u/c threads that are very active and they are drowning the threads of other cities.

..

true!! coz if you compare CEBU's U/c thread from other cities which is in the
forefront of the Philippine projects and constructions, it is way far active from those cities.. i myt be wrong with that but what i have noticed that Cebu
is deserving to be at the forefront.

this is what i am thinking also..

^^

Thanks. I hope the moderators will consider our requests.. :master:

CEBU is DESERVING for it..
it's very obvious...
do it in favor for the once who's
active members from CEBU and
outside the city..
SCC is a site wherein the best
of the best must be at the
forefront,,.. and that is CEBU

We pray dear moderators that you will grant our petition that Cebu will have its own subforum directly under Projects and Constructions..

^^ Amen!

go go cebu./.,.. let them
know what we've got...

We pray dear moderators that you will grant our petition that Cebu will have its own subforum directly under Projects and Constructions..

that's right. Cebu has about 40 threads under Philippine Projects on the Rise :cool:

i'm with you guys! let's hope they'll consider!

We pray dear moderators that you will grant our petition that Cebu will have its own subforum directly under Projects and Constructions..

Lol, we're not gods. :rofl:

Noted. I'll discuss this with the other moderators and will inform you as soon as we have come to a decision. :)

^^

Thanks sir.

I'll keep posted on this one.

:okay:

@arnold's idea is really ideal so i hope the mods will consider.

PSE display board now up in Makati
Meanwhile, Insular Life chairman Vicente Ayllon said they plan to offer the company’s soon-to-be constructed building in Cebu City as host to another electronic display board system.

PSE, for its part, welcomes the offer.

“We are really looking at other strategic areas not only in Metro Manila because we want to create more awareness and convert that awareness to active stock market trading,” said Lim.

Based on a study conducted by the group, one million pedestrians and cars traverse Ayala Avenue everyday, making the location of the electronic board even more viable.

The board will run the PSE ticker tape, disclosures, stock market information and carry trading highlights from 9am to 12noon. It will also feature breaking news, corporate and technology news, traffic advisories, weather updates, and public service announcements after trading hours.

:)

my question is, when will the construction start? :banana::banana:

^^

Dive mentioned mga 4 to 6 months daw.

Based from what i know it will be a commercial...

@slimer
You have the point... Could be a bbq grill...

so unsa nay balita ani nga project? nagsugod na ba sila ug pamutang ug cladding? :)

^^what's nice about their location is that they have a nice view of banilad/talamban area as well as mandaue.. hmmm, what companies kaha ang mag occupy dha?

so unsa nay balita ani nga project? nagsugod na ba sila ug pamutang ug cladding? :)

I see a few squares of cladding. I think they're just putting that on to check it out, see how it looks.

Also, don't get your hopes up about this thing being 14 storeys. From what I heard, it WAS bumped up by two storeys... from 10 to 12 (meaning the original plan was just 10). From what I can see, they're currently working on constructing the 12th storey, and currently the columns aren't reaching any higher than that.

^^

It's really just 10-12 floors I think as stated in the news article in the first page of this thread.

P900-M building to rise in IT Park
By Cris Evert Lato
Cebu Daily News
Last updated 11:27am (Mla time) 11/15/2007


CEBU CITY, Philippines - Cebu's twin-win industries -- Information and Communications Technology and tourism -- will get another shot in the arm with another P900 million building investment at the Asiatown IT Park in barangay Lahug, Cebu City.

Called eBloc, the 12-story mid-rise and business process outsourcing building is developed by Cebu Property Ventures and Development Corporation (CPVDC), a subsidiary of the Ayala-affiliate Cebu Holdings Inc.

CPVDC president Francis Monera said the growth of the IT industry increased the demand for office spaces for local and multi-national companies.

Monera said a total of 21, 000 square meters of the office leasable space and 1, 500 square meters of retail leasable space will be available for IT and IT-enabled firms and retail outlets which will cater to this sector.

“This (eBloc) is the first among the many projects we want to pursue in the future as we strive to push for Cebu's twin-win industries: information and communication technology and tourism,” he told reporters.

Monera said the “urban-provincial ambiance” of Cebu creates the perfect business area for investors, who will also come to Cebu to visit its tourist destinations.

Monera said that tenants of the new building will be provided with redundant power and water supply, optimum telecommunications facilities, centralized sewage and secure location.

On the other hand, Ayala Land Inc. (ALI) head of corporate business group Marivic Añonuevo said eBloc, which has an estimated total cost of P900 million, is to be completed on November 2008.

She also said that eBloc has three prospective tenants.

She refused to name the companies but noted that one of them is a US-based company which will open its first call center in the Philippines.

“The other two are leasing (office space) for expansion. One is from Manila and the other is already operating in Cebu,” Añonuevo said.

Añonuevo also noted that ALI is examining other cities such as Bacolod, Davao and Cagayan de Oro for the establishment of BPO buildings and IT parks.

“We continue to be very bullish about Visayas and Mindanao. BPO is really a sunrise industry and will continue to generate employment,” she said.

At present, the locators of Asiatown IT Park include NEC Telecom Software Phils., Inc., Tsuneishi Technical Services Philippines, Epson Precision Philippines, Inc. and PeopleSupport Phils., Inc. among others.

Asiatown IT Park, a 24-hectare mixed use business park was approved in April 2000 by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority Board as an economic zone. It was also declared as an Information Technology Special Economic Zone in 2001.

...bai @nold, i can picture that the new development which Robinson's is now developing at their lot fronting Chong Hua Hospital will be like E-Bloc with commercial spaces for restaurants and fashion boutiques at the ground floor...

I see a few squares of cladding. I think they're just putting that on to check it out, see how it looks.

Also, don't get your hopes up about this thing being 14 storeys. From what I heard, it WAS bumped up by two storeys... from 10 to 12 (meaning the original plan was just 10). From what I can see, they're currently working on constructing the 12th storey, and currently the columns aren't reaching any higher than that.

Who's hoping that it's gonna be 14 storeys high?

Who said that?

Please COFFEE! Lessen your COFFEE intake! There's too much CAFFEINE inyour brain that keeps you thinking too much! :lol: hehehe...Gotcha again!

@betro- tipid yung nagpapagawa eh, kaya maliit lng and 3-star lng sya...

What is the u/c beside CIFC near SM? This is not Quimoda guys it flanks CIFC. Its rebars are quite large so it should have at least a few stories.

kaya pala familiar yung hotel name. nasa QTV kesi sila e, yung HIRED... naghahanap ata ng manager para sa hotel nila sa Baguio.

Building for BPO firms in Mactan to be put up
05/17/2008 | 06:27 AM

Email this | Email the Editor | Print | Digg this | Add to del.icio.us LAPU-LAPU CITY, Philippines – Property developer AboitizLand will begin next month the construction of a building that will offer space for business process out-sourcing (BPO) companies.

Aboitizland said occupants of the five-story iMEZ will be assured of dependable power supply at competitive costs.

The building, which will be located at the 1.8-hectare expansion area of the Pueblo Verde commercial center fronting the Mactan Economic Zone (MEZ) 2 in Lapu-Lapu City, is expected to be completed and will be operational by March next year.

With its design complementing the modern Filipino-Spanish atmosphere of the entire commercial bloc, iMEZ will also house coffee shops, fastfood outlets, casual dining places and bakery or pastry stores at the ground floor, within an area of about 550 square meters.

The second to fifth levels of the building, with a combined area of 4,000 square meters, will house BPO companies.

“Apart from its proximity to hospitals, hotels and airport, iMEZ is a Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza) zone so BPO offices will get tax incentives," said Floramie Vega, commercial leasing manager of AboitizLand.

AboitizLand Inc.’s sister company, the Mactan Enerzone Corp., will distribute power to its retail and BPO locators at a competitive cost.

“The power is far, far cleaner than what you get from others because there are less fluctuations. If you are a BPO company, downtimes are minimized and you will get long-term benefits, such that continuity of your operation is ensured," said Allan Alfon, assistant vice president of Aboitizland Inc. and general manager for the property management commercial leasing special projects.

Other salient features of iMEZ include 200 percent power backup, modern Filipino-Spanish architecture, ample parking space and underground utilities, among others.

AboitizLand is already working on enhancements—such as new roads, landscaping and underground utilities-of the expansion area of Pueblo Verde, which is designed to serve not only MEZ 2 employees but also the residential community in the area and tourists.

Pueblo Verde’s transportation terminal, which serves employees and adjoining barangays, will be moved from its present location to the expansion site.

“(The company) is looking at a budget of over P25 million for the enhancement alone. It’s a big investment. There will be a separate budget for iMEZ," said Vega and Alfon.

Medium-term plans for the expansion area will include a grocery store that, Alfon believes, would be useful to MEZ 2 employees as well a business hotel. – Sun.Star Cebu

CHI to build new condo at Cebu Business Park

CEBU'S economy is enjoying a boom cycle as a result of the continuing upsurge of the tourism and IT (information technology) industries.

Real estate has especially benefited from this trend with the need for commercial lots, office spaces, new shopping and
lifestyle concepts, and other related industries.

Known for its ability to constantly innovate and address market needs, Ayala Land affiliate, Cebu Holdings Inc. (CHI), is poised to undertake another project to take advantage of these growing industries.

The real estate developer announced that it will be building another residential condominium within Cebu Business Park
(CBP).

This comes after the success of Park Towers One and Two, which were launched in 1995 and 1997, respectively. Since all the units in the two condo towers have already been sold out, the developer received several calls for another condominium project at the CBP.

The new building will be located at the heart of CBP, within a stones’ throw of Ayala Center Cebu and will be complemented with full access to a range of leisure and sports amenities.

The residential condominium will be designed based on the concept of Cebu as a resort island. It will be an iconic building in
the city, with excellent location and 24-hour security in a controlled environment.

With its track record of providing quality products, CHI assures residents and investors that the new project will have high value appreciation that only an Ayala brand of development can offer. (PR)

sound's good to hear for CEBUANO go and put CEBU in World Class City!

Regarding the new announcement of a condo, Iconic here can either mean that -

1. It will be significantly taller than other CBP buildings
2. It will have unique and world-class design
3. Hopefully for us, both!

^^ knang road from old bridge going to marigondon... sa brgy. basak dapit. hehehe

I can't imagine the traffic situation once that Gaisano will be operational.

guys, wala bay mga separate threads ang kanang mga under construction buildings duol sa paseo sa mabolo? didto ko ug sm northwing parking ganiha and visible naman kaayo didto ang mga buildings.. if im not mistaken, 3 ka buildings ang under construction dinhang dapita..

^ Are they highrises (12+ storeys)? I also noticed something under construction just beside Lancaster Suites in Mactan or perhaps it is part of the Lancaster development

^^ dont know sinj.. he last time niagi ko didto is kay mga kabilya pa nga nagbarog akong nakit-an.. pero visible naman ang mga buildings sa parking area sa northwing..

eton has a property in mactan, never heard about that subangdako lot

^^ is that a part of Subangdako? di ba, Mandaue man ang Subangdako...that area of the former Pepsi plant was located is still within Cebu City...

^^ is that a part of Subangdako? di ba, Mandaue man ang Subangdako...that area of the former Pepsi plant was located is still within Cebu City...

yup. rumor has it that he will be putting up a condo there but i've been searching the net and there's no mention of eton putting up a condo in the city...:dunno:

^^ there is one property in Mactan which was foreclosed by PNB Bank due to non-payment of loan...that property is the former Coral Reef Resort which is to be developed as ETON CITY MACTAN, however, there is a legal battle between the original owner and PNB... there is no sign of development yet up to now...i assume..


here's the link:

^ It's Eton Resort Mactan btw. As of today, wala na ang Eton Resort Mactan sa official website ng Eton. I wonder why it was removed.

^^ yeah... para dili sila maapektuhan sa present legal issues...wala pa man gud ma-resolve ang ownership issues...perhaps, that's the reason they removed it (temporarily?) sa website...

SSC Pips, have you heard about eton properties' (lucio tan) condo project in the old pepsi compund in subangdako?

Rumor ? yes. I remember somebody has posted in earlier threads (in 2005) that a high rise building over 50 floors will rise in Lucio Tan's property in Subangdako, Mandaue City, although am not sure if it was in projects & construction or in Cebu province thread. It was not taken seriously as subject of interest because there was no official news online from any source. I did not even believe it. :)

^^ ka-remember ko ana nga rumor...but there was also a rumor mga late 90's that Robinsons will build ala Galleria Mall on that Pepsi lot...

^^ check this. http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=248855&page=7

since this is a rumor thread, have you heared nga naay aircraft company nga gusto mo invest sa Balamban?

and right now kuno sige sila pang recruit ug mga trabahante.

maayo unta matinood ni nga rumor..

Save More hypermart is scheduled to open this friday, May 30, at Parkmall. Soon, the other outlets will follow sometime June. Parkmall will finally open, but nothing is heard of with Boardwalk, more so with, what's it called again, the one in front of Cebu Country Club, the one that was bidded out by cebu province? Any news with either of the two?

Ciudad...Gwen Garci's colonial-style mall...maybe it would be up by the time Tomas is no longer mayor

rumor time:

until this is realized, i consider this a rumor.
i heard from a CHI insider that they're planning to build something in CBP that will be designed by archt medalla. i'll give more details about this rumor once i talk to that person again.

^^ perhaps, that's the condo bai with an "iconic" design...or, is it another project?

Real estate has especially benefited from this trend with the need for commercial lots, office spaces, new shopping and

I remember when i was still in college, we had a plate which is a design proposal for park tower 3. and most of our plates are somehow in line with real projects. so i think this is it. i just wonder unsa kaha ang design..hehe ka remember pko sa akong design ato..hehe :)

yes it's true. there were suppose to be 3 park towers to be built but unfortunately, the 3rd did not push through. the vacant lot between park towers 1 and 2 is where it is suppose to be.

i heard there will be 2 projects by CHI in CBP. the condo in the news and another project which i don't know about. naa pa gani daw mixed use building sa IT Park which has not yet been confirmed. very bullish! :banana:

@diehard, the one supposed to be designed by medalla is different from the mentioned "iconic" condo by CHI because it is a BPO building. but i think this will never materialize already because the lot where it is to be built is now for sale.
also, the mentioned condo will be built "daw" near park towers 1 and 2. i think that lot in between the towers.

Pier One and Figaro is now open at The Walk in IT Park. also Shakey's will be opening very soon because i saw some crews busy cleaning and preparing.

btw, what's that underconstruction across i1 in IT Park? because i was told that it is the Hotel Sofia (Sophia?) daw.

^^ ...i'm not familiar with the technical jargon...hehehehe...what is a "plate"?

hehe, sorry.. yup, flesh is right. its like a school work usually for arts students. basically refering to drawing or graphics.

@flesh.. haha bati kaau to akong design oi, ma uwaw ta. and besides, its almost the same sa two existing towers. kay we have to make it blend with its context since its just the continuation of the two towers i suppose.

^^ if that is the case, it will not be iconic...hehehheeh...joke! ...pero kung iconic gyud ang design, perhaps, they will not build the latest condo project near the existing Towers 1 & 2....

^^yeah, youre right.. its really far from iconic. but that was before. perhaps its a different project now. and yes, it should be somewhere far from those two towers where it has its own huge area for landscaping to make it more elegant and make it stand out from all the buildings around. and of course, the taller, the better.. hehe


OT
@diehardbisdak, bai, naa man ka KSA ron noh? silingan ra diay ta. hehe suroy nya ug dubai..

^^im not sure how true is this but a former insider of chi said the condo will be built in between park towers 1 & 2.

^^ mao ba bai....i hope they will have a different design than the 2 existing towers...anyway, we'll see kung unsa gyud ka "iconic" ang latest condo project...


@yetz...mura'g wala gyud ko'y chance nga maka-anha bai...heheheh!

...mga bai nga na-a sa Cebu, ang project exhibit sa Persimmon is still on-going until tomorrow sa SM City Cebu...perhaps, the scale model is being displayed there...
