New project in Chinatown. :)

WHARTON PARKSUITES CONSTRUCTION IN FULL SWING

High end developer Anchor Land Holdings, Inc. said construction of its newest project in Chinatown, the 39-storey Wharton Parksuites, is in full swing and work on the main structure will be further boosted with the recent selection of Freyssinet Filipinas Corporation as general contractor for the project.
The Wharton Parksuites, which is designed to enhance the Chinese tradition of good education and the value of learning through enterprise and hard work, is targeted towards transients who send their children to the distinguished Chinese learning institutions in the district, as well as travelers who frequently do business in the area.
The project site is strategically located along Masangkay Street. It is walking distance from the most prominent Chinese schools in Binondo like the Philippine Academy of Sakya, the Hope Christian High School, St. Stephen’s School, Chiang Kai Shek College, Uno High School and the St. Stephen’s Elementary Department, among others.
The design of Wharton Parksuites is a fusion between the convenience of a luxury hotel and the functionality of a modern learning institution with its wi-fi internet, a well-appointed library, tutorial rooms, as well as recreation centers, physical fitness amenities and other facilities to help residents keep their mind and body in tiptop shape.
Engineer Rey Villanueva Jr., Anchor Land’s Assistant Vice President for Engineering, said Freyssinet’s contract calls for the completion of Wharton Parksuites’ main structure in 27 months.
Freyssinet Filipinas Corporation was established in 1974 as a post-tensioning contractor with the principal objective of developing the use of pre-stressing for large-scale construction projects. The company now provides conceptualization-to-completion project solutions and has established a General Building Construction division to service its clients.
Villanueva said sheet piling works for the project have been completed and bored piling works will likewise be finished before Freyssinet starts work on the main structure.
He said the design for the project has been adjusted so that there will no longer be a basement floor for parking to address concerns about potential flooding in the area. As such, the Wharton Parksuites will be built from the ground level up.
The Wharton Parksuites is the third project of Anchor Land Holdings in Binondo after the Lee Towers and Mandarin Square, both of which have been completed ahead of schedule. A fourth project in the district, the 56-storey Anchor Skysuites, will soon break ground on its way to becoming Chinatown’s tallest structure.
Ms Elizabeth Ventura, Anchor Land’s Vice President for Sales and Marketing, said the inspiration for Wharton Parksuites is primarily education, both formally and informally, which is a lasting legacy of Manila’s Chinatown.
From young children learning their parents’ trade through daily exposure to the economic activities in the district, through wise and sage counsel handed down from generation to generation, Chinatown has become a veritable school of life for the country’s ethnic Chinese population through the centuries.
“The tradition of nurturing young minds, of letting the young experience first hand how hard it is to earn money, thus providing them lessons to appreciate the value of hard work, is an ongoing concern of every Chinatown parent,” Ms Ventura said.
“Wharton not only offers a roof over your head. We want to make sure that, inside and outside of your units, your children’s education are always at center stage. As such, we offer a mix of educational and entertainment amenities to make sure that their learning do not stop in school.”

A great contrast to what we experience outside of Manila. Investments are just concentrated on NCR. The centralized system just doesn't feel right. I guess what we need is more decentralization and an even distribution of income and investments.

oh geez. talangka much? :ohno:

Were it not for the helpless and congested space in Chinatown, the place itself could rival that of the major CBDs in the metro. BTW the design is indeed grand and sleek. :okay:

Century Properties breaks ground for Centuria Medical Makati
(The Philippine Star) Updated January 28, 2011

Manila, Philippines - As one of the highlights of its 25th year in the real estate industry, leading firm Century Properties broke ground for the $100-million medical-IT building that it is developing in partnership with GE Philippines Inc. at Century City in Kalayaan Avenue, Makati.

The project called Centuria Medical Makati is envisioned to be a world-class outpatient medical arts building for both local patients and medical travelers. With 28 floors and more than 500 clinic spaces, Centuria will use the latest technology and equipment that will enable doctors to practice their disciplines with great ease, as well as provide fast and convenient services to patients.

The building will comprise doctors’ clinics specializing in different disciplines of medicine; floors devoted to diagnostic equipment and services; rooms for aesthetic procedures; recovery suites; cafes and restaurants; a VIP lift, and units for other service providers in health, wellness and preventive medicine.

Present at the groundbreaking rites were Century Properties officials led by its CEO and chairman Jose E.B. Antonio together with Nilo Cruz, country manager for GE Healthcare Philippines and GE Energy country executive John Alcordo. Guests of Honor were Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin “Jun-jun” Binay, Health Secretary Enrique Ona, Trade and Industry Secretary Gregory Domingo and director Elizabeth Nelle of the Department of Tourism (DOT). Also present were Monico Jacob and Washington Z. SyCip, independent members of Century Properties’ board of directors.

“It is a privilege to work with GE Healthcare for this project, and to get the support of our local government, the DOH, the DTI and the DOT, in the interest of promoting the Philippines as a top medical tourism destination with globally competitive standards for outpatient medical services. With the right venue, the right technology and systems, doctors may now put up clinics and provide the best care possible for patients the world over,” Antonio said.

Medical tourism is a rapidly growing industry in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and India. The Philippines is fast catching up with a $25.3-million revenue posted in 2010, with foreigners contributing 60 percent of the revenues. In the same year, the health and wellness industry hit a record of US$ 2 trillion. Research also shows that the Philippines has an even bigger potential in attracting medical tourists because of its culture of hospitality, quality healthcare services, competent medical practitioners, and cheaper medical treatments of as low as 70% as compared to other Asian countries.

The partnership of Century Properties and General Electric-the fifth largest company in the US with revenues of $183 billion, through its subsidiary GE Healthcare, a $17-billion unit of the General Electric company and a leading global provider of healthcare information and medical technology-was marked by the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on September 23, 2010 at the Sofitel Hotel in New York City. Present at the signing were GE Technology Infrastructure vice chairman and CEO John Rice and GE vice president and senior counsel Karan Bhatia with Antonio.

Also present were President Benigno Aquino III, Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima and Energy Secretary Jose Rene Almendras. The signing took place during President Aquino’s trip to the US to attend the United Nations General Assembly and Philippine roadshow for business to attract foreign investors to the Philippines.

Anybody here believe that these new high rise apartment buildings serve as a solution for the slums? Or will it just be for the wealthy?

Anybody here believe that these new high rise apartment buildings serve as a solution for the slums? Or will it just be for the wealthy?no, most of the buildings here are not gov't projects... even if they made govt high-rises its not a long term solution..
(i dont know whats a bigger eyesore one-story slum or high-rise slums like in other countries)
the govt just need to provide better opportunities in other areas of the country besides the major cities, so people doesnt have to move & abandon their original land, then ending up squatting in the city.

If Cebu just have an adequate infrastructure such as good and wide road networks and mass transit, it is also a very viable and doable alternative for investors to develop. Cebu still remains an affordable place for land acquisition, the price of land in Cebu city is far more lower than MM. On the other side, economy in Cebu is so vibrant and robust, employment is not much of a problem because of so much opportunities in the services sector. It just so sad to think that some investors are slightly turned off because of lack of infrastructures.

BCDA to bid out 20-km monorail (http://www.malaya.com.ph/july22/busi10.html)

THE Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) plans to bid out the proposed 20-km elevated monorail project connecting the cities of Makati, Taguig and Pasay that is targeted to be completed by 2016.

Felicito C. Payumo, chairman of the BCDA, said the elevated monorail will replicate the monorail system in Sydney, Australia.

The monorail will pass through The Fort in Taguig, Makati, Mall of Asia and the airport before connecting to the Metro Rail Transit 3 and Light Rail Transit in Pasay.

He added that BCDA will coordinate with the Metro Manila Development Authority and the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) on the project.

A third party will conduct a feasibility study as soon as the project proposal gets initial approval. The study will take at least 150 days.

The monorail project will be offered under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) initiative.

Payumo said foreign and local firms have expressed interest in participating in the proposed monorail project, but added said it too early to identify them.

"We will announce the foreign proponents who intend to bid at the right time" he said

The project is expected to be completed before the term of the Aquino administration ends.

Manuel V. Pangilinan, Metro North Tollway Corp. (MNTC) chairman, said his group is interested in bidding for the monorail project.

Payumo and Pangilinan yesterday signed on behalf of the BCDA and MNTC the 33-year concession agreement for the Subic-Clark-Tarlac expressway (SCTEX).

Under the agreement, MNTC will operate and manage the SCTEX, relieving BCDA of the heavy financial burden of paying the latter’s P34 billion debt to the Japan International Cooperation Agency.

Arnel Paciano D. Casanova, BCDA president and chief executive officer, said the government will have estimated revenues of P64 billion for 33 years, of which P30 billion will go to the Treasury. The remainder will be used to pay the debt to JICA.

"This agreement is our contribution to the Aquino government’s Public and Private Partnership (PPP) program. We see it as innovative because it frees the government of the heavy debt servicing burden. We can say that the SCTEX was built at no cost to the government," the BCDA official said.

Based on the revenue-sharing scheme between the BCDA and MNTC, in the first six years the bulk of revenues will be given to the government – about 55 to 60 percent to the BCDA – and 40 to 45 percent to the MNTC. But starting in 2017, the revenue sharing will be 80 to 20 in favor of the MNTC.

Rodrigo Franco, MNTC president, said that his group expected to have more than P180 billion in revenues for 33 years, three times the government revenues, as 80 percent will go to the MNTC after six years.

The MNTC has also committed to spend a total of P20.6 billion for maintenance works.

LOCATION: MANDALUYONG CITY, PHILIPPINES
ARCHITECT: ARCHION ARCHITECTS
PROJECT: ‘ZEPHYR’ MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT
SIZE: 5400 SQM
STATUS: CONCEPTUAL
Software used: Autodesk Revit and Adobe Photoshop

The Building is angled in a way as to maximize wind flow through the turbines as well as minimize heat gain. Though the turbines are the most visible “green” aspect of the design, many other aspects contribute to the sustainability of the design.

Technologies such as:
Rainwater harvesting and water recycling help reduce the developments impact on water resources.
Roof gardens and gardens reduce surface runoff
Selective Low-E glazing reduces heat gain and balances cost.
LED lighting for common areas to reduce operating costs and hear gain.
Power management systems to inform the tenants of power and water consumption are being considered for the project.

The project is being envisioned as part of a larger development to showcase sustainable technologies and practices that can be used without greatly affecting our lifestyles as a first step to the acceptance of sustainability in the local market.

http://www10.aeccafe.com/blogs/arch-showcase/files/2011/07/ZEPHYR-EYELEVEL.jpg

The ‘Zephyr’ Mixed use development is a conceptual design of a High end commercial & retail space coupled with residential units above. the design is inspired by flows of air which the building harvests to power common areas in the development.

First, the cladding's not yet completely done. Wait for them to complete it, and then, comment.

Second, the billboard, will be a digital LED one - similar to the one in Alphaland Southgate in Magallanes. Therefore, it's actually going to be a wonderful technological addition to the building's design.

Third, have you heard of the phenomenon of global recession? Many projects are being shelved, not only in the Philippines but also in the US. Ever heard of the Chicago Spire?

Fourth, stop posting using ALL CAPS. It's rude and annoying.

The fact that you're flaming only highlights how terribly immature you are. I'm sad for you and your clear lack of eEtiquette.

Further, and more importantly, your ignorance of the building boom (or bust) in the Philippines is shameful. Ever heard of the Federal Land Tower, the new Philippine Stock Exchange Building at the Fort and the Lopez Tower? Officially, only the Lopez Tower has been shelved but have you heard about any new developments about the previous two? Nada.

Didn't you hear about the scaling down of many projects like the Gramercy Residences (which was purported to reach 300m high but is apparently only barely as tall as PBCOM) and the GA Skysuites?

Clearly, you haven't. So before you start flaming, might I suggest a bit of research so you don't get burned?

The zoning regulations regarding height in Makati has nothing to do with the ATO regulations.

Second, Century Properties has not been forthcoming with the correct information on Gram's final height. All structural engineers I've confirmed with (even inside Century and Makati City Hall) agree that Gram will only reach (a maximum) of 280m, 20m short of Supertall status.

AGAIN, this is an international forum. By god, write in English!

red_eagle_1982

^^ I highly doubt zoning restrictions played its part in "reducing" (without reliable sources, if I may say) the height of the Gramercy Residences. For one, that part of Makati is not covered under the height restrictions imposed for areas near the periphery of NAIA.

Also, if I remember seeing that nice panorama of Metro Manila which was the banner a few days ago, Gramercy was clearly taller than PBCom Tower. Just saying.

Finally, this is the international forums, so please speak in English. Thanks. :okay:

On that angle, perhaps, Gram's looks taller but the topography suggests otherwise. The lot where Gram stands is 30M lower than where PBCOM stands. Side by side, I concede, Gram is taller but since the land where it sits is lower than PBCOM, there are more angles where they would look appear almost the same height.

And yeah, some people should learn eEtiquette and stop writing in excessively bold letters and to write in English!

And yeah, some people should learn eEtiquette and stop writing in excessively bold letters and to write in English!

Correction: The 30 meter elevation difference of the GRam and PBCOM is very inaccurate. The actual difference is only around 3-4 meters. That 30meter wrong info is as high as an 8-9 storey building but in actuality that isn't the case.

As for the height of the Gram, experts here w/c was corroborated by other engineers said that the approximate height of the Gram is only around 250-260meters and not 280 meters more so 302 meters.

Obviously, in all angles, the Gram looks taller than the PBCom because the former's concrete structure is up to the apex while the latter's main structure only stands @ 222m (helipad) while the radio tower @ 241 m. and the mast/antenna @ 259 m.

Can't wait for this building to top off.:banana:

@ 68 floors and projected height of 250meters, it'll be almost the same height as the PBCom (259m) and the Gram (250-260m).

Since Discovery Primea is more luxurious than the GRAM, i'd think its floor to ceiling height is higher than that of the Gram w/c has a typical/standard height.

No problem dude!!:cheers:

Yeah, i do believe that experts in this field can actually make clear and correct approximations by using all the possible valid methods of calculations w/c fortunately a few have done and corroborated by other experts too.

It's also a fact that the developer intentionally did not publish its actual height during top off last Jan 2011 since they knew that it will never reach the supertall status. So the best thing to do for us skyscraper fanatics is to have the opinions of the experts. They can do best in making valid calculations of the Gram's height. It may not be the actual height per se, but we can be sure that the real thing is well within their approximations.

I just wonder if real estate in the Philippines is really that strong and needed. There are so many residential towers under construction yet there are still many people who can't afford a unit, and people who are homeless and prefer renting a bedspace

Real estate business is still strong and is getting stronger brought by real demands whether in office or residential. Vacancy in office sector is very low while there is a backlog of 3 Million homes in residential sector.

Records show that companies continue to report increases in sales and new projects. We can only thank the investors, overseas Filipinos, the rich & middle class and of course the good economy of the country. :cheers:

Nope, that slum area isn't part of Makati but Mandaluyong City. The Laperal compound is very near Rockwell Center w/c is to the extreme left of the photo w/c was not included.

Realty sector to enjoy continued growth
Business World
http://www.bworld.com.ph/content.php?section=22&title=Realty-sector-to-enjoy-continued-growth&id=33916

THE PHILIPPINE real estate market is set to enjoy a “sustained upward cycle” as demand for office space combined with interest in retail, tourism and residential projects will continue to drive the sector forward, according to property consultancy firm CBRE Philippines, Inc.

“From a macroeconomic cycle, there is not a bubble. This is the start of a sustained upward cycle. There is a lot of demand,” CBRE Chairman Rick M. Santos said at a briefing.

Demand for office space, for instance, is expected to remain robust as business process outsourcing (BPO) firms are poised to expand, he said.

“We believe the Philippine office sector has some of the best fundamentals of all the Southeast Asian markets,” he said.

“The Philippines has some of the lowest rental rates, highest yields and greatest demand for office space in Asia,” he added.

BPO companies are continuously expanding in and outside existing hubs and central business districts like Makati, Ortigas, Fort Bonifacio in Taguig, Quezon City, Alabang and Mandaluyong, according to the consultancy.

Outsourcing firms are also tapping Cebu Asiatown IT Park, the Plazuela de Iloilo in Iloilo and Abreeza development in Davao.

“I really think the good years are ahead of us. The government looks stable, so many new players are coming in for the BPO and there is the knowledge process outsourcing companies,” Jose Luis F. Matti III, executive director of CBRE Philippines, said.

The local BPO industry employed 525,182 workers as of end-2010, with a projected additional 500,000 jobs to be created over the next five years that will demand three million square meters of office space, CBRE data show.

“They realize how good the Philippines is in terms of location and we have a very skilled work force,” Mr. Matti added.

Furthermore, increasing overseas Filipino remittances are fueling the growth in the retail and residential development, the consultancy said.

“The housing, retail and leisure segments benefit from the continued rise in remittances,” CBRE said.

In the first four months of the year, remittances rose by 5.98% to $6.2 billion and is projected to grow by 7% this year to $$20.1 billion, government data show.

For tourism, visitor arrivals grew by 13.3% in the first trimester to 1.3 million, government data show.

“The continuous growth in the tourism industry has encouraged direct investments in hotels and resort residents. Retail sector also benefits from the increased number of tourist arrivals,” it said.

CBRE Philippines started operations in 1998, offering valuation and advisory services, global corporate services, asset services and residential services.

Parent firm CB Richard Ellis is a Los Angeles-based property services firm with a $5.1-billion turnover last year through 31,000 employees in more than 438 offices worldwide. --
