not bad

i think it looks good... will this be marketed by ALP or CII?

Community Innovations, Inc. (CII)

It's obviously CII judging from its pronounced "The Columns" design.

Besides, ALP has a project only a stone's throw away from this one, the Avida Towers San Lazaro. Which makes me wonder if there's still space for another development within the San Lazaro Town Center aside from Celadon Park, Celadon Residences, Avida Towers San Lazaro, and SM City San Lazaro.

Pretty decent architecture... Above average design compared to other condos... Of course we must wait and see how the finished structure visually affects its surroundings...

Avida Towers is surely an Avida not an ALP.

^^ Ang akala ko kasi ALP stands for Avida Land Properties?

'Di ba Avida Communities ung tawag sa kanila? Same developer ng mga Avida subdivisions across Luzon. Nakita ko kasi dati sa website ng ALI ung Avida Communities tapos magkakasama sila - ung subdivisions and the condos.

Avida was previously known as Laguna Properties Holdings Incorporated - LPHI.

^^ yup, avida used to be known as laguna properties. ALP is ayala land premier.

^^ Oo nga pala, Premiere yung ALP. Ano acronym at buong name ng Avida?

^^ as far as i know it's avida land corp. di ko lang alam ang acronym... pero mukhang avida lang

^^ Ah, okay. It's actually good that ALI had their projects classified under different brand names so people know what quality to expect from them.

^^ yup! and the pricing

http://i15.tinypic.com/48rgw0g.jpg

Btw, name's changed to Celadon Park Manila and Celadon Residences Manila. Just an fyi. :)

AVIDA a combination of Ave "to celebrate" and vida "life". That's why the tag line for their AD campaign is "celebrating life".

prices pls? :)

People who lead fast-paced lives want a sanctuary for relaxation—a statement from a real estate article in the US-based, East Valley Tribune reveals. Prospective homeowners and condo-dwellers long for a place where they can kick-back and unwind at the end of a hectic day.

Community Innovations, a wholly owned-subsidiary of the Ayala Land, integrates technology and aesthetics with its first residential condominium project in Manila, Celadon Park San Lazaro.

A 3-tower condominium revealing a verdant expanse of 7,000 square meters at the ground floor and an additional 5,000 square meters at the podium, Celadon Park is the only place in Manila that offers a 1.2 hectare’s worth of wide, green open space. “Given Manila's generally dense environment, we wanted to offer something new and unique --- a place to breathe.” Community Innovations’ project development manager, Grace Sta. Ana states. “We wanted to create a relaxing, resort-type environment, that is why the ground floor amenity is lined with palm trees and open spaces, picnic areas as well as resort-style pools. All these elements can be experienced as soon as one enters the building’s lobby drop-off.”

Celadon Park delivers more than its residents could ever dream of with its top-notch facilities and opulent surroundings. With huge function rooms that can seat up to 200 people, Celadon Park is also ideal for memorable events like simple get-togethers, birthdays, and even weddings.

On the same verge as other Ayala Land projects, Celadon Park provides all the amenities and the perks that only the most trusted name in real estate can bring. With the reliable group supervised by Ayala Property Management Corporation (APMC) always on standby, maintaining a unit is never difficult. From plumbing, to electrical works, to something as personal as ticket reservations, APMC has its residents covered. Best known for managing residential towers in the Philippines' premier business district, APMC takes care of building and lease administration as well as the maintenance of special technical services and facilities.

Imagine being close to everything that matters. Located in Sta. Cruz, Manila, Celadon Park is a few minutes from all the important locations, including the University Belt, the numerous reputable schools (Chiang Kai Shek, Uno High School and UST), the hospitals (Chinese General Hospital and Metropolitan Hospital), the commercial centers (SM City San Lazaro), as well as the Binondo Business Center.

An environment not found anywhere else in Manila, Celadon Park infuses avant garde architectural designs, and technological innovations with lush, green landscapes. On top of its natural ventilation system through breezeways along the corridors and notches in the unit, Celadon Park also has specific power allocation per unit in case of power failure, and a fully addressable specific unit identification fire detection system. Beyond the bricks, and beyond the structure, Celadon Park offers a lifestyle, defining the true gold standard of living. Coming home has never been so good.

Visit the showroom near SM San Lazaro and see how Celadon Park San Lazaro truly redefines metropolitan living.Community Innovations is an Ayala Land company that caters to urban achievers. It builds balanced harmonious communities where the living experience enhances the lifestyle and fulfills the aspiration of its customer.

Ayala Land launches P5-B development in Manila
Its first integrated in-city development
By Elizabeth Sanchez-Lacson
Inquirer
07/27/2007

MANILA, Philippines -- Ayala Land Inc. launched Thursday a P5-billion mixed-use property development project in the City of Manila.

The project will be put up on the sprawling 11-hectare former San Lazaro racetrack of Manila Jockey Club. Dubbed Celadon Manila, it is Ayala Land’s first in-city integrated development with residential and commercial spaces and office spaces for business process outsourcing.

Celadon will have a gross floor area of more than 150,000 square meters.

In a press briefing, Ayala Land officials said the project would bring together several Ayala Land brands: Ayala Corporate Business Group for the commercial development, Ayala Malls for the retailing component, and Community Innovations for the residential component.

The retail and commercial development will be on Felix Huertas Street and will have about 3,000 square meters of shops, dining and leisure establishments.

Its business process outsourcing (BPO) component, which will occupy about one hectare of the property, will also be Ayala Land’s first office development in Manila and is touted to be the largest BPO site in the city, said Iris Josef, project head at Community Innovations.

Ayala Land is in talks with major BPO players -- Convergys and PeopleSupport -- to locate in the site.

The BPO project is expected to generate about 13,000 jobs when fully built.

The residential component, which accounts for 5 hectares of Celadon Manila, will consist of two developments—townhouse community Celadon Residences and condominium project Celadon Park.

Celadon Residences is a 4.2- hectare master planned residential townhouse community that will offer 202 units. Unit sizes will range from 168 square meters to 204 square meters. They will be sold for about P9.5 million to P12.5 million.

Celadon Residences will also have more than 22,000 square meters of greens and open spaces.

Celadon Park will offer 600 condominium units with floor areas ranging from 49 square meters to 295 square meters and priced between P3.8 million to P8.6 million.

“This integrated development will create land value that will increase over time,” Ayala Land senior vice president Rex Mendoza.

Celadon Manila: Ayala Land's New Frontier in Manila

The rise of an innovative integrated development charts a new frontier in Manila as it is given a lifestyle anchor consistent with the city’s progressive potential.

Celadon Manila, the leisure community from Ayala Land’s subsidiaries, offers the opportunity for people to live, work, shop, meet, and relax in one integrated neighborhood—underscoring a vibrant lifestyle experience.

The 6-hectare in-city development is comprised of three distinct elements that characterize a cohesive urban ecosystem:

Shops at Celadon (Ayala Malls)

Offering a lively variety of shopping, dining and leisure options, Shops at Celadon by Ayala Malls is set to define a new retail experience in Manila. Anticipated to provide a distinctly intimate leisure experience, the retail venue will offer a tenant mix that is attuned to the needs and lifestyles of those living and working within the development.

Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) site (Ayala Land’s Corporate Business Group)

The ease of living and working in the city is further emphasized by the development of the biggest BPO (business process outsourcing) site in Manila, courtesy of the Ayala Land’s Commercial Business Group. Strategically planned to address the industry’s unique requirements, Celadon Manila’s BPO center will be the first call center site in Manila with retail and leisure amenities open at extended hours to complement the industry’s demanding work environment.

Residential District (Community Innovations)

Celadon Residences (townhomes) and Celadon Park (condominiums), offer a refreshing take on residential living in Uptown Manila. The two residential districts within Celadon Manila, developed by Community Innovations, promises a vibrant lifestyle experience within this progressive development, combining the ease of urban essentials inside an integrated community with leisure at its core.

Celadon Manila’s integration of a distinctive retail experience, career advancement and an uptown leisure lifestyle complements the rich and diverse culture of Manila. The seamless synergy of retail, commercial and residential developments in an urban ecosystem managed by Ayala Malls, Ayala Land Commercial Business Group and Community Innovations, paves the way for a holistic transformation of the city.

Community Innovations is Ayala Land’s standard-bearer for innovation in residential living. It builds balanced, harmonious communities where the living experience enhances the lifestyle aspirations of its customers.

Napakarami ng development ang nangyayari d2 sa Samaploc Area. Kahit nga sa mga medium rise buildings na may atleast 5 storeys kaliwat kanan ang construction dito sa sampaloc. Tagal ko na din dito pero ngayon ko lang nakita na halos sabay sabay ang mga developments ng mga medium rise buildings dito.

^^ i did not notice that avida is using the CII's Celadon master-plan to attract sales in their arm.. tsk. tsk. calling our marketing folks..

http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/9661/celadonmanila1ka8.jpg

^^ this BPO building is already at 7th floor.. and will operate by the end of the year. the first two floor of which will house an ayala-managed mall/commercial complex with retail and resto areas...


hindi mall to parang katulad at ng sa serendra na commercial establishment

^^ I noticed that from CII press materials that they call it commercial complex, retail complex, or something like that, and not "mall". If I remember it right, someone here said that SM bought the 4-ha. parcel of land from MJC with a clause in the contract that says no other mall will rise in the remaining 12-hectares of the complex. So I think calling it a "mall" may possibly lead to trouble even if it's just a small retail strip.

^^ correct! it will actually be coined, "shops at celadon".. also the lot beside that BPO complex will have a commercial development/hotel development, spearheaded by manila jockey club.

on top of this, that area of celadon manila (CII not Avida) will hold a monthly bazaar to stimulate commerce in the community..

ayun tama shop at celedon

What a transformation! Aside from the old hippodrome, this place used to house old, dilapidated apartments and squatters.

Certainly, Sampaloc and Sta. Cruz, Manila will look different in the next 10 years. But is flooding and crime in the area being seriously addressed?

^^ the crime, honestly i am not so sure, since i am not a resident in the area.. but since the PNR side of the area has been completely de-ghettoed and the place is guarded by 24-hr security, as well as being well-lit in future plans.. i guess the crime rates will decline..

my only worry is for the BPO office (convergys and people support) employees who will go to work at night starting december 2008. that area of santa cruz is relatively safe, but if felons realize that they can easily target unsuspecting call center agents in the vicinity then its kind of scary.. but i feel this will be addressed by the call center management and will surely draft actions that will protect their employees...

regarding the flood, the whole Celadon Manila property was raised 1.2M above the ground. also, they are having talks with the mayor's office to rehabilitate the sewege system in the area...

also, rumor has it that the city is planning to build a flyover that will connect lacson ave to blumentritt..

Shanties along the rails were demolished but how about those directly at the back of caladon e.g those in Pista St.?:eek:

I didn't realize that this area of manila looks beautiful now because of Celadon project. I remember I went to that area early this year and was stuck in traffic jam along Lacson Ave. I just hope that the supposed flyover would be built from Lacson to Blumentritt. This would surely address the problem.

Shanties along the rails were demolished but how about those directly at the back of caladon e.g those in Pista St.?:eek:

those homes at the back of celadon manila are titled. they are not actually informal settlers, but you could say that their neighborhood became poor/or has been always poor.

to address some security issues, the whole celadon manila has been provided a perimeter fence which is 14 m high and is partly electrified.

commercial area? di ba may stipulation ang SM sa san lazaro na sila lang ang commercial area na puede duon sa block na yun?

^^ I think it's... sila lang ang pwedeng "mall" within the whole 16 hectares of the San Lazaro lot. And a small commercial area is not really a mall.

Primed for leisure
Philippine Star
May 9, 2008

Prime number, prime developments, prime location.

These best describe Ayala Land’s new frontier nestled in the heart of Manila, Celadon Manila. Comprised of three distinct elements – residential enclaves, Celadon Residences and Celadon Park; a retail area, Shops at Celadon; and a corporate Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) hub, San Lazaro E-Services Building – it doesn’t take a Math genius to appreciate this three-tiered development.

Prime Number

As a prime number, the number three is described as lucky, unique and perfect. But these can also refer to Celadon Manila’s three distinct elements - Celadon Residences and Celadon Park, Shops at Celadon and the E-Services Building.

The seamless synergy of its residential enclaves’ vibrant lifestyle experience, the diverse tenant mix of its retail venue and the rise of the first class A call center site in Manila comprise the development’s integrated structure.

Prime Developments

Celadon Manila’s three distinctive components were built on Ayala Land’s lineage of providing uncompromising standards of construction and execution, while underscoring a vibrant lifestyle through world-class amenities.

Take Shops at Celadon, a 3,000-square meter retail area reflects the quiet, intimate vibe of leisure that only Ayala Malls Group can create, and this “creation concept” is evident in their malls like Serendra, Bonifacio High Street, Greenbelt, Glorietta and TriNoMa which combines unique dining experiences and a collection of specialty shops.

Shops at Celadon’s tenant mix of cafés, quaint restaurants and specialty shops, surrounded by lush greens and parks, embodies the leisurely ideals of Celadon Manila that’s focused on overall well-being and lifestyle of those that live and work there.

Another thing unique to Celadon Manila is its E-Services Building. A departure from the traditional real estate developments in Manila, Celadon Manila houses the biggest BPO hub in the city which offers improved facilities that specifically answer to the rigid requirements of the call center trade. Strategic urban planning, zoning and implementation, create an urban ecosystem where everyone not only live harmoniously, but benefit from each other as well.

This expertise in urban planning, allows for Celadon Manila’s residential enclaves – Celadon Residences and Celadon Park – to maintain its energy and cosmopolitan appeal that offer a sanctuary for families and young urban achievers.

With no other townhouse development that can offer over 22,000 square meters of open spaces, Celadon Residences provides its residents with a wide range of village park amenities like adult and kiddie pools, an open playfield, a kids’ playground, a multi-purpose court, and function rooms which primarily encourage community interaction and fellowship, that in turn completes the leisure living experience.

Just an update for Celadon Manila: 2.5% price increase on July 2008. :)

Anyone here knows the turnover date for celadon residences? thanks!

some residents already received their keys.. the turnover process will end September 2008 or until buyer totals 30% of TCP.

edit: ^^ correction. having the unit interior designed (measured only) is okay, but no formal turnover yet.

really? may basis ba kung sino nauuna? kasi we have a unit eh.. and We can't wait any longer! haaay...

Hi. New here. I have a unit at Celadon Residences too. It's been frustrating getting CII to give us an official turnover date. They first told us it would be ready by 1st quarter 2008...then they said 2nd quarter 2008...Who knows if it will even be ready by September?
Our agent said she would get back to us on 7/15, because that's when "construction turnover to engineering dept" will take place...but I thought construction turnoever took place a long time ago for Phase 1? :ohno: If you got anymore info, please share as well. Thanks!

actually it is already finished, phase 1 of celadon residences that is.. cii had problems processing the occupancy permit from the city government thus the delay till july, supposedly it was really 1st quarter.. some owners actually had their punchlist already though, like the ones who own the model units...

^^ i know they had punchlist already though, since model units were recently refurbished... recent advise was they are contemplating turnover since its the rainy season and there is heavy construction of BPO complex that aggravates flooding in the area of felix huertas more so if it rains hard.

Thanks leechtat! Our unit is in phase 1 and it's already finished. Last time I visited, that was in May I think, we were able to see our front door already but it was locked. Now, is there someone we should contact, I want to know when is the "real" turnover date?

^^ hi, i sent you a message.

ALI unit books P15-B sales over six years

By Mary Ann Ll. Reyes
Thursday, July 24, 2008

Community Innovations, a unit of real estate developer Ayala Land Inc. (ALI), earned P15 billion in sales revenues over six years since its inception in 2002, about P4.8 billion or a third was earned last year, officials said yesterday.

Company president Dante Abando revealed yesterday that Community Innovations likewise registered a compounded annual growth rate of 36 percent over the same period, compared to a 17-percent CAGR for the entire Philippine real estate sector.

Community Innovations has been relaunched as Alveo Land. “In Latin, Alveo means ‘to be well.’ As a company, we don’t just find the means to provide you with the most innovative homes, we look for ways to give you the life you deserve,” Abando said.

From 2002, the company’s sales value soared by a whopping 360 percent while sales volume increased 250 percent, he emphasized.

Last year, Community Innovations posted its highest earnings in its six-year history at P4.8 billion, translating to a 53- percent growth from its 2006 earnings of P3.1 billion.

“We are very pleased that our business grew significantly. Our developments are always centered on people’s needs and the market responded well to our offerings,” Abando pointed out.

He attributed this growth to the substantial contribution of new projects such as The Aston, the family and kids-oriented high-rise section at Two Serendra in Bonifacio Global City; Marquee Place, the first ALI development in Northern Philippines that is integrated with an Ayala mall located in Angeles City; and Treveia found at Nuvali, ALI’s new metropolis in the Canlubang, Laguna area.

He emphasized that more recent projects are also boosting the company’s portfolio. Senta, Community Innovations’ recent condominium development in Legazpi Village, registered P1 billion in sales in the first five weeks of selling. Meanwhile, The Red Oak, the second high-rise section in the third phase of Two Serendra, drew in P455 million on the first day of selling.

From the start, company officials stressed that Community Innovations has made a gleaming track record when it comes to sales. Its maiden project, Verdana Homes in Bacoor, Cavite, sold out in seven months.

“Every time we conceptualize a new community, we think about what is lacking in our market’s lifestyle. From here, we roll up our sleeves and think of something new to offer them. This propensity to innovate has propelled the company to where it is right now,” Abando explained.

At present, the company’s completed and ongoing developments have been and will be home to almost 4,000 families.

Summed up by its new name, Alveo concerns itself with so-called life ecosystems, or the deliberate and all-encompassing approach with takes into account the familial, social, physical, mental and emotional well-being of the market, Abando said.

Take your pick
Weekend market opens in Manila
Bazaar
Pick Manila
Celadon Manila near SM San Lazaro, Manila
Sundays 7 a.m.-2 p.m.

Beginning on Sept. 7, and every Sunday this month, Celadon Manila in San Lazaro, Manila will open its doors to shopaholics via Pick Manila, "the first lifestyle weekend market in the city," according to a statement. Around 30 to 40 retailers will be selling food and beverages, organic products, clothes, and odds and ends like lucky bamboo plants. It will open at 7 a.m. and close at 2 p.m. Admission is free.

Celadon Manila is an integrated leisure community being developed by Alveo Land Corp., formerly Community Innovations, a subsidiary of Ayala Land, Inc.

Pick Manila, a bazaar of sorts, serves as an alternative to the retail shops which will be opening in the first quarter of 2009. Tenants are given a standard six square meters of space to market their wares. The development will be supporting the market, and no rental fees will be collected. As yet, regular tenants for Pick Manila have not yet been finalized.

The six-hectare development is currently gearing up for turnover, starting with the 200 townhouse units that will be ready for occupancy by October. Dan M. Abando, President of Alveo Land Corp., told BusinessWorld during the press launch on Aug. 27 that 80% of the townhouses have already been sold.

Apart from the residential area, which consist of Celadon Residences (the town homes) and Celadon Park (condominiums), the development will also have a retail strip tagged Shops at Celadon by Ayala Malls, consisting of convenience stores, among others. In addition, a business section called Ayala Land Businesscapes will be the venue of the E-Services Building, a call center site within easy access to the around-the-clock retail and leisure amenities.

"[Pick Manila] just really for them to showcase what they have, just to give them the flavor of a very intimate retail experience in an integrated community... Some of them can only be found here, others have shops in other locations, in and outside Metro Manila," said Nerissa N. Josef, Vice-President for Project Development for Alveo Land Corp.

Thus far, food exhibitors offer both local and international cuisines, including Divine Treasures (puto pao, yema cake and empanada), Kukziboz (native dishes like tinolang manok, adobong pusit and bistek), Chevis Churros Corner (butterscotch, chocolate and caramel churros), Sweet Thoughts (cupcakes and brownies), Ivy’s Catering (Japanese delicacies), Café Amadeo’s brews, Royal Lotus Food Services (veggie burgers and Italian soda) and Thai Sticks n’ Steaks (Thai dishes).

"We’ve always been interested in food markets; this is our first time. We wanted to join in Salcedo market — it’s not that expensive — but when we asked about it, there are 650 applicants," said Rose Valdes-Garcia, co-owner of Thai Sticks ’n Steaks, formerly Sukhothai. The restaurant relocated to Chino Roces Ave. in Makati, rather than contend with steadily increasing mall rental fees.

"It’s kind of far, but there is no traffic on Sundays... we used to be Sukhothai, we’d been operating for 18 years already before we closed in Glorietta and Megamall. Now that we have a new small restaurant — same food as Sukhothai but more affordable prices — we want as many people as possible to know where we are," she said.

Jen Cu, General Manager of Royal Lotus Food Services, hopes to expand her market from its store in Magsangkay, Sta. Cruz and Quezon City outlets with this venture. "The vegetarian community is getting bigger. UP has the biggest, and Tiendesitas has a few too. It’s more or less A, B and upper C, although we still have to educate the upper C market... We’re going to open soon in University of the Philippines and Philippine Normal University," she said.

There will also be a booth for the decorative candles and bracelet rosaries made by the children of Pangarap Foundation by the Sons of Mary, Ina-anak Inc. and the Ladies of Charity of Pasay.

Organic products will be provided by a number of vendors, including Fresh Sugarcane, Good Health Good Life (virgin coconut oil products), Agri-Aqua Network International (fresh produce), Herbal Momma (supplemental vitamins, herbs, herbal cookies), Mister Herbs (indigenous herbal plants), and All Organics (Milea Bath & Body Wellness Essentials such as all-natural soaps, massage oils).

"We have a store at Neo-Chinatown, along Macapagal Highway, but we also attend trade fairs... We source [mostly] locally; we adopted farmers from Negros and Bicol. Peppermint and lavender, that’s imported from Australia and the US," said Edilee Omoyan, owner of All Organics. "We’re not yet ready for [the mall]; we’re small... we’re looking for partners who will let us do our thing, and they do the marketing for us. Our production hopefully will go up now that we’re here at Celadon Manila, it will help people be aware that there are Filipino products like this. In Salcedo, they do not allow this kind of product, and Market! Market! is not our market. Tiendesitas, we’re there mostly weekends, and at Trinoma if there’s an event."

"When we envisioned Pick Manila, it’s actually selecting the merchants that we would like to put in to give a flavor of what Manila is all about, the various cultures and the subcultures that were developed in Manila — Chinese food, local delicacies, and now we’re into organics, so there are herbal stores. So it’s basically just introducing what Celadon Manila is all about, it’s the newest in-city integrated development in Manila, not only because Ayala Land is doing it but also because it is in support of the efforts of the local government of Manila in redeveloping," explained Mr. Abando.

I actually like the units because they have a dedicated area for laundry and the cuts are quite big (75-78sq mtr for 2 bedroom). Siguro ang issue ko na lang dito is kung bahain. Ang lapit kasi sa espana, alam naman natin dun na umulan lang ng 2-3 hours nagiging black lagoon na yung lugar...

Priority Selling of Limited New Units of Celadon Park was held last 26th of September.

Limited Units will be free for all by October.

Nag visit ako for model unit viewing last week. I love the townhouses. If I have the money I would definitely buy it.

Settle muna ko sa mas murang condo...

I passed-by the site awhile ago. ang bilis ng developments.

^^ ang bilis noh.. ikaw ba yung naka-everest?! hehe..

anyhow, many people do not actually know that celadon manila is behind SM san lazaro.. they are actually surprised that such development exist there, seemingly a jewel in bag of fancy.

^^ang bilis nga parang yung developments sa nuvali. kahit ung BPO parang malapit ng matapos.

naku JP alam ko na FP mo.hehehe

^^ di ba sinabi ko na yun sayo.. di pa ba? magbenta ka din here, new limited units na may 22% cash discount pa yung iba (10% discount plus non-vat discount 12%)... andami na agad nabili...

^^hindi mo pa sinabi sakin. sabi mo secret.hehehe! oo gusto ko ma master ang celadon. dalaw ako diyan tour mo ko ha. very marketable pa naman yan. i love the townhouses. tapos for lottery yung cut-up units no? makaibang teams ba humahawak sa condo and sa townhouse or FP niyo both?

may food business ako sa SM San Lazaro. treat kita.hehehe

pansin ko tinanggal na nga yung squatter's area sa may riles.

^^ sige. no prob. there are residents who live in the community na. celadon manila as whole is the fp. pero rumour has it that it will be a free for all project due to the opening of the mercedes and the soon to be big pasig project.. anyhow. visit us on weekends...

ahhh.. so sa'yo pala yung fruitas sa grocery?

anyhow, the demographic of people who buy into celadon are the tsinoys and people who already reside in the vicinity of san lazaro, sta. cruz areas.. i.e. celadon residences is already approx 80% tsinoy homeowners..

^^so there's a possibility that you will be transferred to mercedes or logan in the future? i suppose TCAA2 will go to Senta specialists?

OT: Hala naman sa dami ng food dun yung fruitas pa naisip mong sa akin.hehehe!

I have a relative who is considering Celadon because her son is going to college. If the son will be studying in UST there's a big possiblity that they will buy from Celadon. But for sure they will need an RFO unit. Are there reopened RFO's so far? I don't want resale, sayang ang credit.

^^ for celadon residences (RFO) there are at most 15 units left along with the block 1 units, which are the premier units for the village..

The world has long been enchanted by the Philippines – drawn by the tropical coast, warm weather and the inherent potential of economic progress.

Increasingly, Filipino Expats, too, who have established their roots abroad, are rediscovering why the Philippines will always be their home. Overseas Filipinos who flew out of the country in search of better lives are beginning to realize that the greatest reward is to savor the fruits of their hard work in their homeland in the midst of family and friends. And having been exposed to other cultures and vibrant cities across the globe, their lifestyles have matured and the need for living spaces to address these is apparent.

Thankfully, trailblazing real estate developers like Alveo Land, an Ayala Land company, have paved the way for returning Filipinos to find a home that will mirror their dynamic and holistic way of life. With a thrust of building life ecosystems, Alveo Land was able to fuse the modernity and sophistication they have already been accustomed to with the distinct Filipino life.
Options for commerce, leisure and recreation

One of the advantages that Alveo Land properties afford returning Filipinos is its proximity to various commercial, leisure and recreation destinations that epitomize their fast-paced and dynamic lives. Good examples of residential communities at the heart of the dynamic urban lifestyle Metro Manila has to offer are Celadon Manila, The Columns Legazpi Village, and Senta.

With its mixed-use community for leisure and recreation fused with the highest standards in residential living, those who choose to settle in Celadon Manila can enjoy a myriad of offerings. As a development geared towards leisure, Overseas Filipinos will never regret that they returned because they will be pampered with amenities such as lounge pools, massage cabanas, meditation gardens, Jacuzzi and sauna. It will also be home to some of the biggest Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firms in the country, integrating both residential and leisure amenities within a progressive hub.

Or perhaps, they can choose to stay fit and live an active lifestyle in The Columns Legazpi Village as it boasts of today’s largest condo-based gym in the country, included in the approximately 2000 square meters Fitness Hub. It’s also a few steps away from the global retail promise of Greenbelt where choices for shopping and dining abound.

Alveo Land Corp., formerly Community Innovations, sets the benchmark for innovation in Ayala Land. Armed with sharper foresight, unparalleled excellence and total commitment, Alveo Land Corp. is a real estate company that doesn’t just find the means to provide the most innovative homes, it looks for ways to make you live the life you deserve.

Manila Jockey plans casino, hotel in Manila
Companies
Written by Honey Madrilejos-Reyes / Reporter
Monday, 09 February 2009 20:48

MJCI Investments Inc. (MJCI), a company controlled by listed racetrack operator Manila Jockey Club Inc. (MJC), is spending P383 million to put up and operate a casino project in Santa Cruz, Manila.

In an interview, corporate information officer Peter Francis Zagala told the BusinessMirror that MJCI is considering two options to raise the funds needed for the project.

The company may either ask for fresh infusion from its stakeholders or secure a loan package from the banks, he said. “We hope to start with the casino project this year,” said Zagala.

The company got an approval from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. last year to run a casino, which would initially feature 200 slot machines and 10 gaming tables.

Once the building of the casino is completed, MJCI would start planning for the construction of a hotel adjacent to the establishment.

“The hotel would definitely enhance the casino operations. Maybe in two to three years time, that would be finished,” said Zagala.

Both the hotel and casino will be constructed on a 1.6-hectare lot, which is part of MJC’s sprawling 12-hectare property in Santa Cruz.

Incorporated in March 1937, MJC is currently engaged in the operation and maintenance of a racetrack located in Cavite and holding of horse races with bettings. It is also engaged in the development and sale of residential complex through joint venture arrangements with some developers.

In 2005, MJC inked a joint development agreement with Ayala group’s Avida Land Corp. and Community Innovations Inc. for the development lots within the Manila property into a primary residential complex consisting of condominium buildings and townhouses.

A similar agreement was also forged in 2004 for the development of a 17.09-hectare lot in Carmona, Cavite into an exclusive residential subdivision with some commercial areas.

GMA declares former San Lazaro racetrack a tourism economic zone (http://http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=443531&publicationSubCategoryId=66)
Updated February 26, 2009 12:00 AM


MANILA, Philippines - President Arroyo has declared the former site of the San Lazaro race track in Sta. Cruz, Manila owned by the Manila Jockey Club Inc. (MJCI) as a tourism economic zone.

Pursuant to the proclamation, MJCI and the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA signed yesterday the registration agreement entitling the listed horse race track operator to develop and operate several parcels of land consisting of 74,244 square meters as a tourism economic zone with information technology component.

The special economic zone, to be known as the San Lazaro Tourism and Business Park, will be developed in joint venture with property giant Ayala Land Inc.

ALI is currently building residential and commercial complexes, including one 14-story BPO building, in the area.

MJCI Investments Inc., a unit of MJCI, is allotting P383 million to put up and operate a Pagcor-accredited casino/hotel project in a 1.6-hectare lot.

Last year, MJCI secured the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp.’s nod to run a casino, which would have an initial 200 slot machines and 10 gaming tables.

Once the casino building is completed, MJCI will start planning for the construction of a hotel adjacent to the establishment.

Incorporated in March 1937, MJCI is currently engaged in the construction, operation and maintenance of a racetrack located in Cavite and holding of horse races therein with bettings both directly or indirectly by means of mechanical, electric and computerized totalizator.

The company is also engaged in the development and sale of residential complex through joint venture arrangements with developers.

In 2005, the company entered into a joint development agreement with the Ayala Group’s Avida Land Corp. and Community Innovations Inc. to develop lots within its Manila property into residential condominium buildings and townhouses. — Zinnia dela Peña

Celadon Manila offers the good life in an integrated leisure community.


MANILA, Philippines - If you think that living in your very own townhome with Indo-European influences or a posh condo five minutes away from your tech-savvy workplace plus a stroll with your friends on weekends along a leisure themed shopping strip is not possible in the heart of Manila, then you better think again.

Celadon Manila, by Ayala Land, is the largest contiguous community in the heart of the metro. “Celadon Manila is an innovative integrated development that we’ve envisioned as our new frontier in Manila,” says Rufino Gutierrez, division manager for project development of Alveo Land. “With leisure at its core, it has a lifestyle anchor consistent with the city’s progressive potential.”

This six-hectare in-city development is composed of three distinctive elements that characterize a cohesive urban ecosystem – retail (Shops at Celadon), business (Vertex One), and residential (Celadon Residences and Celadon Park) – existing in seamless synergy.

The Good Life

“Surrounded by nearly 31,000 square meters of open spaces – the largest in any residential development in Manila - Celadon Residences and Celadon Park, both by Alveo Land, offer a retreat for families and young urban achievers to commune with the beauty of nature, which is a rarity in the city today,” says Gutierrez.

This lush sprawl of green combined with Celadon Residences’ Mediterranean-inspired townhomes in an intimate gated residential community reflects the leisurely ideals of Celadon Manila. “We are trying to create a sense of place for residents – a haven not a hive,” says Gilbert Berba, head of innovations and design group of Alveo Land. He continues that to give Celadon Manila its vibrant lifestyle anchor they prioritized making it human in scale which means making it feel more homey and easy to relate to.

Alveo Land Corp., formerly Community Innovations, sets the benchmark for innovation in Ayala Land. Armed with sharper foresight, unparalleled excellence and total commitment, Alveo Land Corp. is a real estate company that doesn’t just find the means to provide the most innovative homes, it looks for ways to make you live the life you deserve.

MANILA, Philippines - Can the largest contiguous community in Manila with a perfect synergy of residential, retail and business components, built by the Philippines’ leading real estate developer continue to raise the bar of upscale living in the metro? Well, you better believe it.

“The new buzzword in the market now is value,” says Robert Lao, assistant vice president for sales & marketing of Alveo Land, an Ayala Land company. “Buyers are now looking for a combination of a good deal as well as a sound investment. They are now asking questions about its reselling value after 10 years, which previously have not been a concern voiced out by homeowners.”

With Alveo Land’s promise and vision of living the life you deserve, Celadon Manila continues to make the 6-hectare in-city development the most esteemed property when it comes to upscale living in the heart of Manila. “It’s not just about adding things here and there, it’s all a matter of careful planning too. But more importantly, it’s about the things that matter and are relevant to the needs of our residents now and most especially in the future,” continues Lao.

Which is why to fulfill their promise of a vibrant community, Celadon Manila has also worked closely with the local government to employ advanced planning and zoning techniques around the area which include the relocation of informal settlers. This decision also served to highlight the charm of Old Manila inherent to the development with its surrounding historic architectural landmarks such as the Manila Post Office, Jones Bridge, Legislative Building and Paco Park.

To further address the need of its residents for a vibrant community, Celadon Manila has also benefited from the combined efforts of the Manila City Hall, several government agencies and the private sector with the construction of a new drainage system in the vicinity. The project included the replacement of the existing 600 mm diameter pipes with much larger 750 mm diameter concrete ones to assist in excess water management. With the new drainage system in place since October, no major incident of flooding has been observed in the area especially at the main entrance gate of Celadon Residences, the residential space which redefines urban living in the area.

Celadon Residences is 100 percent completed as of June 2009. To-date, a total of 128 units have been turned over to buyers with 70 residents now enjoying this unique development and its fully-completed amenities.

MANILA, Philippines - With its rich architectural landmarks, Manila is certainly an interesting mix of old-world charm that is underscored by the metro’s inherent history and culture. Only few cities can claim a rich historical background complemented perfectly by steady modern evolution—something that Manila, with the addition of Celadon Manila in the mix, now has to offer.

“More than anything, what Celadon Manila can give is the promise of an unparalleled living experience,” begins Rufino Gutierrez, division manager for project development of Alveo Land. “All the modern amenities you expect from urban living, the accessibility of a highly-networked metropolis, set at the heart of one of the country’s most historical and cultural cities.”

As an integrated community, the 6-hectare in-city development that is Celadon Manila brought by Ayala Land’s subsidiaries is composed of three distinctive elements that characterize a cohesive urban ecosystem – retail (Shops at Celadon) to be managed by Ayala Malls, business (Vertex One) by Ayala Land Businesscapes, and residential (Celadon Residences and Celadon Park) by Alveo Land.

The residential components of Celadon Manila, Celadon Park and Celadon Residences, are a throwback to the good old days when living in Manila was more relaxed and laid-back, when nature was still unspoiled, and everything was good and pure with nearly 35,000 square meters of open space – the largest in any residential development in Manila.

Celadon Manila are well on their way to providing an unmatched living experience with construction of its residential communities proceeding as scheduled. Celadon Residences, which prides itself for offering an intimate leisure experience is 100 percent completed as of June 2009; and to-date, a total of 128 units have been turned over to buyers with 70 residents now enjoying this unique development and its fully-completed amenities.

Wellness zones in 6 developments (http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/lifestyle/lifestyle/view/20090926-226944/Wellness-zones-in-6-developments)

MANILA, Philippines--Land, mind and body. Upscale developments nowadays don’t just offer prime terrestrial locations, but they also offer wellness, fitness and spiritual “nourishment” areas—no matter the size of the project. Here are six developments that offer a “total” investment package.

1 Tribeca Private Residences in Parañaque/ Muntinlupa. This project proves that you don’t need to be in a mega-sized property to get that much-needed physical and spiritual refuge. This 9.7-hectare modern residential condominium community by Landco Pacific Corp. includes high-end resort amenities featuring an open-air fitness circuit, a sports court, a traverse wall, a playground with a larger-than-life chess set and dollhouse and social pavilions.

This “mini” community aims to be more than just a residential community but a place where residents are nearly assured of a long, healthy life. Tribeca’s bicycle and jogging trails, a three-hectare Central Park and a 1,800-square-meter swimming pool complex called the Aqua Park which is 70 percent bigger than an Olympic-sized pool will help dwellers achieve just that. All the wonderful things you can do here are simply called Active Spaces.

2 Mandara Waterfront Residences, Asiaworld City, Parañaque. Containing more than just natural Manila bay area elements, Mandara Waterfront’s facilities include a themed landscape baywalk, an infinity pool overlooking the bay and a pavilion within the residential development. The Asian contemporary-themed community fuses nature’s beauty with man’s ingenuity.

Nestled on 1.4 hectares in Asiaworld City, Mandara, a name derived from the Sanskrit word referring to “essence” and connoting “sacred space,” is Landmark Communities’ prime residential project recommended for a wide market range—from yuppie upcomers to retirees.

3 Senta in Legazpi Village, Makati. Where can you find a putting green, a landscaped roof deck, and a Zen garden in the congested, time-harried Makati Central Business District? Credit goes to Alveo Land Corp. (an Ayala Land Inc. subsidiary) for this urban “oasis.” On top of that, Senta also offers a fitness center with complete gym equipment
, several lounge pools and an expansive private pool theater. Senta units cater to the power elite, and vary in size from studio to two-bedroom units and a 1-bedroom “power suite.”

4 Stonecrest in San Pedro, Laguna. This residential development offers 350- to 700-sq-m lots overlooking Laguna de Bay and Manila Southwoods. Its selling point is simulated living in Southern California, where people live long and happy lives. And why wouldn’t they, what with wide gardens, frontyard landscaping, tree-lined streets, private cul-de-sacs and central pocket parks. The free-form swimming pool, basketball and tennis courts and football field all contribute to good California “vibes.” Even the clubhouse is Southern California-inspired. This Landco development won’t throw in an Arnold Schwarzenegger look-alike, though.

5 Monterrazas de Cebu. The Philippines’ second largest metropolis, Cebu City, is where this mountain resort-community is located—all of 210 hectares in Guadalupe, with an elevation of 340 meters above sea level and boasting a magnificent view of the Queen City of the South, as well as the islands of Mactan and Bohol. Although not many details have been leaked to the Manila press, this Landco development promises a resort lifestyle for its inhabitants, without having to leave the city.

6 Celadon Residences and Park, Manila. Mention the Mediterranean, and you conjure images of the sun, the sea and a people with long and contented lives. That’s what the residents and dwellers of this Mediterranean-inspired townhomes project of Alveo Land can expect as they enjoy a leisurely lifestyle that encourages them to stay healthy. Facilities include adult and kiddie pools, an open playfield, a children’s playground, a basketball court and function rooms.

At Celadon Park, visitors can relax further at the meditation garden, lounge pool, in private massage
cabanas, jacuzzi nook, or garden sitting areas at the fifth level. For those nurturing healthy bodies
, there’s a gym and wellness center.

I love this project. I hope this is the beginning to turn Manila into a bursting financial district just like Makati. It's the capital of the republic and yet, it's like I don't know, so many old dirty buildings.

I saw Vertex One while riding LRT. It's really impressive.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines change as that act of “making something or becoming different.” But to know change, all one needs is to come to Ayala Land’s largest integrated in-city development in Manila, Celadon Manila.

Change means innovation

Celadon Manila has been leading urban-renewal efforts in the city starting by effortlessly combining three unique components—residential (Celadon Residences and Celadon Park) by Alveo Land, business (Vertex One) by Ayala Land Businesscapes and retail (Shops at Celadon) to be managed by Ayala Malls Group—coexisting in absolute synergy that it is both intimate as well as vibrant.

Being an oasis that offers reprieve from the noise and chaos of the city, the Mediterranean-inspired townhomes of Celadon Residences allows residents to enjoy the expansive feel of a relaxing home with the comfort of still being next to everything they need to live, work, shop, meet and relax in one place, something that is very hard to come by in the city today.

With the residents in mind, Alveo Land made sure that they experience leisure lifestyle through the amenities readily available in the development —adult and kiddie pools, an open playfield, a children’s playground, basketball court and function rooms.
BOTH developments in Celadon Manila are loaded with amenities built for residents to enjoy a lifestyle of leisure and comfort. The playground in Celadon Residences allows your kids to roam freely and enjoy making new friends.
While nearby high-rise community Celadon Park can be considered the ideal sanctuary for urban achievers because of its integrated leisure-club amenities that address the relaxation and recreation needs of its residents.  Amenities, like a meditation garden, a lounge pool, private massage cabanas, a Jacuzzi nook, garden sitting areas on the fifth level, gym and wellness center that evoke a sense of well-being.



In order to keep up with the employment trend, Ayala Land Businesscapes has strategically placed Vertex One within the development. It is slated to be the largest business-process outsourcing (BPO) site in the city which will dramatically alter the culture and business landscape of Manila.

Its location inside the largest contiguous community of Celadon Manila offers easy access to major thoroughfares and public transport terminals to support the rapidly growing BPO industry. With Convergys being fully operational by the second half of the year, it won’t be too long before Vertex One becomes the center of the burgeoning BPO industry in Manila.

The presence of a retail venue amid Celadon Manila’s streetscape not only turns up the leisure aspect of this contiguous community but offers unparalleled convenience for locals living and working in the area as well.

The 2,500-square-meter retail area to be managed by Ayala Malls within the integrated leisure community of Celadon Manila will give its residents a cozy retail venue with a distinctive mix of dining, recreational and leisure establishments, defining a new retail concept in Manila.
THE Village Park Clubhouse is spacious enough for interaction, get-together and activities of the community.
Change means transformation

“Not a lot of people may know this, but the Ayala Group shares a long history with the city of Manila,” says Rufino Gutierrez, division manager for project development of Alveo Land. “Escolta, in particular, where its offices were once situated, right in the belly of Manila’s business activities.”

Through the commitment of Ayala Land through Alveo Land, Ayala Businesscapes and Ayala Malls to the urban redevelopment of Manila, aimed to revitalize the city that birthed it, starting with a project as optimistic as Celadon Manila.

“We took what everyone thought of as an underutilized piece of land, which is the San Lazaro Racetrack, and transformed it to this now master-planned contiguous community of Celadon Manila,” says Gutierrez. “It had the size, the familiarity of people of the area, accessibility to transportation, which makes it a great place to begin the city’s transformation.”


THE residents will have a refreshingly good time with their exclusive access to the village park’s swimming pool.
Change means progress

Unlike other business districts, such as Makati and Ortigas, with multinational companies springing left and right, somehow Manila, who started it all, has been left behind. But the opening of Vertex One, the largest BPO site in the city is about to change all that.

With high-tech facilities such as larger and faster elevators, additional restroom facilities and efficiently spaced floor space per employee, Vertex One’s amenities specifically answer to the distinct requirements of the estimated 7, 000 BPO employees who will occupy it soon. Also, the presence of a business locator like Vertex One and its additional thousands of employees is expected to heighten commercial and other activities in Manila.

Given the intensive and demanding work environment BPOs are exposed to, it’s very advantageous that Vertex One has its own retail center with round-the-clock services available to its tenants.  BPOs adhere to a fast-paced working environment, and convenience must always be easily accessible to them.

This importance given to ease and comfort by Vertex One is further underscored with the presence of Shops at Celadon. A clever mix of leisure amenities, such as health spas, salons, dining destinations and shopping options, the 2,500-sq-m retail strip exudes the retail aspect and philosophy of the Ayala Malls Group.

“Every component of Celadon Manila, starting with Celadon Residences and Celadon Park followed by Vertex One and soon Shops at Celadon, underscores a vibrant and dynamic lifestyle with leisure at its core, ” says Gutierrez. “Through Celadon Manila’s unique integrated in-city design, Alveo Land aims to raise the bar of living and leisure standards in the city of Manila.”

Alveo Land Corp., formerly Community Innovations, sets the benchmark for innovation in Ayala Land.

To live amid progressive city centers is the kind of life that urbanites deserve. It provides an answer to the needs of a fast-paced lifestyle, complemented with the comforts of a residential home.

This is the vision of Alveo Land whose standards for innovation produced groundbreaking plans that meet the needs of the market.

“The ideal approach in planning developments is understanding how people actually plan their life – it’s a long-term commitment that guides us in delivering the best products for our market,” said Dante M. Abando, president of Alveo Land, “And with Alveo’s solutions, we envision that the ideal residential living is to balance work and play.”

The emergence of Two Serendra’s low-rise residences in Bonifacio Global City redefined the location as one of the best residential and business addresses in the country. Marquee Place, the master-planned development in Angeles City, Pampanga modified a laidback district into a region where cosmopolitan living complements commerce.


Celadon Residences in San Lazaro highlights the value of Manila’s rich heritage while being anchored on the ideal residential lifestyle.

Within Makati’s CBD, Senta at Legaspi Village provides an empowered lifestyle that allows a quick refuge after a hectic day. Lastly, the company has Treveia in Nuvali, which showcases what life within an environmentally sustainable ecosystem is about.

When it comes to residing in Manila, people have made choices appealing to their hearts or minds.

Those who have sought to stay in Binondo choose to do so for its proximity to the historic center of commerce that still supplies the rest of the Philippines with sundry goods. The residents of Malate love the district for its bohemian vibe, still present in its various pre-and postwar buildings, as well as the various creative types who choose to live in a place where they can always appreciate a good sunset and then step out for a drink.

Students and academics have always lived in the homes that line the University Belt, UP Manila, UST, De La Salle, Mapua and FEU. Quiapo never fails to enthrall the religious person and the bargain-hunter. And as Carlos Celdran always mentions during his Walking Tours, the first walled or gated community in the country has always been the historic Intramuros.

Manila has thrived, changed over the years and is still a place to call home. And now that the 21st century has introduced achievers whose needs require more out of the community they want to live in, Alveo Land’s Celadon Manila has stepped up to the challenge, delivering masterplanned residences in a sustainably-designed place that has since changed the landscape and signals a new direction for Manila living. Alveo’s philosophy after all is all about loving the place we live while striving to make it better.

Recently launching the new Tower 2, Celadon Park has set the bar higher for those who want the best amenities in their residential building/development.

With resort-like amenities in the heart of the city, residents can unwind and relax without needing to drive away as a means of escape. It not only is an ideal choice for those seeking a home previously like no other in Manila, a residence at Celadon Park becomes an investment that appreciates over time.

Indeed, like a rare jewel sought after by many and only possessed by a few, the project represents next-level living in Manila. Backed by an impressive record of developments, Alveo is where the creative future of Manila will reside, where their families will flourish as they achieve one successful venture after another.

Our agent from senta told us that alveo will launch a townhouse condo retail complex on the former santa ana race track pasong tamo makati. It will be launch this december and it will be known as the amoroso enclave and residences.

Any price estimates on that townhouse development?

Yes I've been hearing that Alveo will be developing that area in Makati. I believe that it's gonna be simila in theme with Celadon Manila. Integrating retail, residential, and business. Can't wait for that.. I think that development is still in its planning stage kaya wala pa masyadong info..

I am waiting for the townhouse development in that area too. I told my agent that I am ready to submit the Letter of intent anytime. I think that area will be the best alveo development so far because its in Makati and not a condo complex.

Ayala Land to develop Sta. Ana racetrack

MANILA, Philippines—Local property giant Ayala Land Inc. and horse-racing operator Philippine Racing Club Inc. (PRCI) have signed a joint-venture agreement to develop the latter’s 21-hectare former racetrack in Makati into a mixed-use complex.

The deal involving the development of PRCI’s prime property more commonly known as the Sta. Ana Racetrack in Barangay Carmona, Makati, was announced by both publicly listed companies in separate disclosures to the Philippine Stock Exchange yesterday.

In a phone interview, PRCI president Solomon Cua explained that the large-scale project would entail “big figures” in investment as the property would be turned into a township development with recreational, entertainment, commercial, retail, office, residential and even hotel facilities.

“Both parties recognize that this is the last big piece of property in Makati and certain standards must be met. We have chosen the right partner for this,” Cua said.

PRCI will contribute to the joint venture its entire 21-hectare property, which used to be the site of its horse-racing operations until 2008. It will henceforth share in the revenues to be generated by the property venture, which will sell residential units as well as lease out office and commercial space.

The board of PRCI has approved the execution and delivery of the master development agreement with ALI and Alveo Land Corp. The agreement will be presented for approval of PRCI’s shareholders in a meeting on April 26.

ALI, the developer of the Makati central business district and Fort Bonifacio Global City, said in its disclosure that the deal would still be subject to the fulfillment of certain closing conditions.

“The project is intended as a mixed-use development and will form part of the company’s ongoing developments in the city of Makati,” the ALI disclosure said.

Six years ago, ALI also teamed up with Manila Jockey Club to gain access to a part of the latter’s former San Lazaro racetrack area in Sta. Cruz, Manila.

Ayala to redevelop Sta. Ana track

by Jenniffer B. Austria

RACETRACK operator Philippine Racing Club Inc. is partnering with Ayala Land Inc. to develop a 21-hectare property in Santa Ana, Makati, that it owns into a mixed-use real estate project.

The company told the Philippine Stock Exchange it will present its master development agreement with Ayala Land Inc. during a special stockholders’ meeting in April.

The company will contribute its property in Carmona village, which in the old days was known as the Santa Ana Racetrack, to the joint venture, while Ayala Land will be in charge of developing it.

Ayala Land is also the joint-venture partner of another racetrack operator, Manila Jockey Club Inc., in the development of its property in Santa Cruz, Manila, into residential condominiums, a retail complex, and office buildings catering to business process outsourcing companies.

Philippine Racing had previously planned to transfer its 21-hectare racetrack property in Sta. Ana, Makati, to JTH Davies Holdings Inc. in exchange for 795.81 million shares or 90 percent interest in JTH Davies.

The deal, the racetrack operator said, was aimed at unlocking the value of the Makati property by developing it after the company had transferred its racing operations to Cavite.

But in 2008 the company terminated its deal with JTH Davies after Internal Revenue ruled that the deal was subject to value-added tax.

The next year, businessman Eusebio Tanco, who owns Systems Technology Institute Inc. and Philippines First Insurance Co. Inc., acquired JTH Davies for P153 million.

Philippine Racing Club was founded by American and Filipino horsemen and entrepreneurs in the late 1920s as a counterpart to the Manila Jockey Club, the enclave of Spanish and Filipino aristocrats at its foundation in 1867 until its heyday in the 1950s. It built the Santa Ana Racetrack in 1937

There were three main structures on the 25- hectare property, all in the simple Art Deco style: two grandstands and an office building.

There was a single sand track surrounded by many stables that, over time, had mushroomed to far more than the area could comfortably hold. Stalls were built right up against the cinder-block walls that lined the track.

Races had been held continuously at the Santa Ana Park since it was built, with a brief hiatus during the war. It was named for Saint Anne, the patron saint of nearby Sta. Ana town, Manila, although the racetrack itself was part of Makati.

Very nice. I like how the ayala land turned this ugly side of town into a sophisticated modern and chic.

have you checked out the surroundings yet:lol:

Not yet because I haven't been in manila for years. Did they put electric fence around the area?

no...we should put an electric fence around philippines for people like you!:lol:

Wow thats very rude and uncalled for.

:cheers:

Was able to visit Celadon Manila a few months back, I saw some fences near Vertex One. I don't think it's electric though..

This looks nice. Celadon Park Tower 1 looks beautiful. Thought the whole Celadon development still looks incomplete. Ayala should hurry up with looking for BPOs to lease vertex one other than convergys and put up shops at celadon. Sayang talaga, yung vicinity hindi ganun ka "upscale". Hehe

the fact that you need to pass by the service/delivery area of SM san lazaro makes this development, despite being an ayala brand", rather unappealing.

I don't think so, it shouldn't be neccesary I guess and because high perimeter fence and guards will do the security.

Incomplete pa nga at medyo slow lang ang pacing of developments. Dapat siguro din may ayala mall o kahit yung plano nilang smaller scale na mall ng ayala. And also the vacant lot on the foreground of the picture should be the location of second BPO building.

^^ they have actually created a rotunda for the main entrance... it should be the preferred ingress/egress point.

Clients like the SM access though since they can ask the SM Hypermarket staff to trolley their grocery all the way inside Celadon Residences..

Having a sm property beside the celadon township gave more positive end result for its residents. Plus the value of the property inside celadon appreciated because most people likes to live near the mall for convenience.=)

Oo nga, lagyan nila ng upscale retail area at more business in Vertex one panalo na. I heard that the location of the retail shops will be outside the ground floor of the second bpo building and below the podium level of tower 3 and tower 4.. So in other words, matagal pa yun..

You're right. There is no announcement yet on Tower 3, 4, and BPO 2. Each building takes 5 years to build. We're talking about at least 10 years before we see the masterplan fulfilled.

Without those planned shops for now, I don't see any reason to pay P5 million + 4k a month to live in a condo in that area. It's not in the middle of a business district, not in the middle of a shopping district, and it's not walking distance from a school district. You're just paying for the convenience of living across SM, in a sh*tty neighborhood. Unlike Makati, Ortigas, or Chinatown, there's no actual need to live in that particular area. And unlike Makati, Ortigas, or Chinatown, there are a lot of cheaper housing available. Adding to the problem, the streets get clogged every weekday around 7pm. It will only get worse as more residents and more shoppers add into the picture.

bat kaya wala pang ibang developer na nag take advantage at i re develop nila yung mga neighboring buildings dito.....maganda yung view ng mini townhouses....

I've noticed the cuts are small. They have studios and one-bedroom units only. They're aiming for a younger crowd. There are 18 units per floor. It will be like living in a college dorm.

Any chance Tower 3 and 4 will aim for families?

It is possible to combine units should you want a bigger sized one that could fit a whole family for Celadon Park Tower 2

You are right! Would it be great to have a Mall at the front of your doorstep?

Great news! No downpayment for Celadon Park Tower 2 extended up to May 25.

Hi, any unit owners who plan to rent out their 1BR or 2BR units in Tower1? Please PM me. Thanks! :)

Our unit is for rent...

An update.
Tower 2 at 27 floors mas mataas pala ito kaysa sa Tower 1, sa perspective din kasi pantay lang sila, pero mas okay yan at top-off na rin.

nice may tower 4 and 5 ba??

hangang 3 lang ata to, wala ng space kasi, sana ginawa nalang nila tig 50 or 60, sinasabi kasi eto noon na new manila within sta. cruz,manila, sayang lang, mga pandak ang naitayo dito, walang nakalampas sa 90 meters

Yes. Sayang lang. The old hipodrome site is worth a billion pesos or more than.

http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff450/anzenrealty/Alveo/Celadon/Celadonperspective.jpg

Four towers bali siya. I dont think na pwede nating sabihing sayang yun. Dapat alalahanin natin that when the development was being drawn up, the place was not a prime area at all. The old hippodrome was surrounded by old houses, warehouses, squatters, and other ills of society that made it a very risky venture to develop an A-class development. It also used to get flooded a lot. In hindsight though, siguro kung alam lang ng ayala na magiging ganung kalakas ang bentahan diyan sa celadon at avida, e hindi na siguro sila nagdevelop ng mga townhouses. Anyway, it turned out quite well and we have to be thankful that it went this good and hope development will spread to nearby surrounding areas, more particularly dimasalang and avenida..

^^nice and good location...:)

yung share ni FPJ na 3 billion sa san lazaro race park ay nagamit niya noong election, kayat isa rin yan sa ikinamatay niya dahil sa laki ng pera na nagstos niya, nawala lang dahil sa pandaraya ni glue!

townhouses are nice

9-15 million,price as of 2008, ewan ko kong magkano na ngayun

sana lahat ng bldg sinasabi ung talagang official height at meters

pagkakaalam ko na 100 m ang celadon sabi sa emporis

hangang 3 lang ata to, wala ng space kasi, sana ginawa nalang nila tig 50 or 60, sinasabi kasi eto noon na new manila within sta. cruz,manila, sayang lang, mga pandak ang naitayo dito, walang nakalampas sa 90 meters
Yang tower 2 as per computation ko has minimum height of 90.2m with its spire. Lagpas din konti sa 90m.

Tama nga na mas matangkad ang tower 2 ayon sa perspective.

sana lahat ng bldg sinasabi ung talagang official height at meters

pagkakaalam ko na 100 m ang celadon sabi sa emporis
Sana nga talaga nasabi din ang height kahit yung mabababa din. Yung matataas nakalagay minsan pero may mali naman. Kaya nga ako na lang mag kocompute.

wala atang batas ang nagsasabi na gaano kataas ang isang istruktura at ilang palapag
magkano ang nagastos o ligtas ba ang tinitirikang lupa

basta may lagay ayos na :)
