If I were you, I would write them a letter informing them of my decision to back out of the sale. This way, no further liability can legally be pinned on you. I would also take the extra precaution of closing my account so there is no way they can cash those PDCs. Kiss your reservation fee good bye for you won’t see it back. Pero kung hindi pa nila nadiposito yong reservation fee, dalian mong isara ang bank account mo. He he he.

PAHABOL: kung susulatan mo sila, better have it delivered by courier, and keep the proof of delivery. Also, retain a photo-copy of your letter to them.

If you simply mail your letter, there is plausible deniability for them. They will simply say they never receive it.

nakapagbigay na ako ng sulat at notarized ng attorney at nakhingi din ng pirma na they recieved the letter. kaso medyo nahuli na kasi di kagad naasikaso ng sis ko. 2 days ago lang nabigay letter e tom na encashed yung first check. inadvice sya sa office ng EEI na pahold daw sa banko yung check kaso ayaw naman ng bpi kasi dapat yung may ari daw(ako) ang magpahold.
bale sabi ng friend/agent ko di naman maghahabol EE at nakapagbigay na rin ako ng letter.(At may nabasa din akong malaki din kita ng EE sa mga nagrereserve at buma back out).
ang pinakadraw back lang is magkakaroon ako ng bad credit sa banko at pagkakaalam ko di na ako pwede mag issue ng check in the future.:ohno:

Happy New Year to all!

Tanong ko lang, how much ba ang parking lot ngayon?

http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/2225/14jan009e.jpg

WORST project in the area in my opinion :ohno:

1. Delayed - 2011 turnover plus 12months GP - with its present status, it will definitely go beyond the GP. Naunahan na sila ng SM Light.

2. Highly densed - six high rise buildings na pinagsiksikan. Talo pa ang tenement sa pagkakatabi ng 1st and 2nd bldg.

3. Poor Amenities - only one 15m lap pool to service the entire 6 bldgs? seriously? and you call it resort inspired??

4. Poor Customer Service - with all the complaints on the missing receipts/unreachable CS.

5. Location sana panglaban nito - but will all the other developments side by side, they'll certainly be the last option.

6. Building construction - sorry, pero parang ang pangit ng pagkakagawa.. hindi pulido, unlike its sister project in the Magallanes station (although delayed rin) which is at least mukhang malinis ang pagkakagawa.

Additional lang sa item #3, that pool won't be around until Tower 4 is completed... Meaning matagal tagal na hantayan para sa mga maunang titira...

Any updates please?

can we have photos again please? Thanks for the effort sa mga naguupload. Just needed to know if madedeliver nila by Sept 2012 ang Tower 1. I've emailed Empire east customer service 2 times but ni isang reply walang ako natanggap. I've been meaning to call them but because of the time difference minsan nakakalimutan ko na. Any news? With regards sa receipts, I've received a receipt from VAS realty ata and not Empire east, ngayon ko lang din nalaman na joint venture pala siya. Yung receipts naman ng monthly payment ko pinapadala sa address namin ni Manila, so medyo kampante naman ako. Please post some new photos para makita ko kung tapos na ang Tower 1. Every now and then, I ask my mom to check on the building para malaman ko kung anong nangyayari but all they say to my mom is matatapos on time. Accommodating naman yung mga sales rep. Parking space they offered me last year but I declined kasi medyo expensive, I didn't know na ganun kamahal ang parking space, para ka nang kumuha ng 1 kwarto hahahaha... :)

updates pls ??? any new pixs

Based sa hitsura ng bldg ngyn, I don't think this will be for turnover ng Sept2012.. it is even unlikely it'll be completed within the year...

ang bagal naman ng development sa project na to.nung umuwi ko nun december ganyan na yan..february na ganyan pa din..parang di nagbago?
i think malelatr nga ang delivery ng tower 1. mukhang 2013 pa matatapos ang tower 1

Maraming salamat sa recent pics. Finally, makikita ko na ung unit ko sa tower 2 kahit ung floor number pa lang. Ung 2012 turnover ba ng tower 1 included na ung 12 months na grace period?

Sana may mag upload ulit ng pic na top view para mas makita ung development.

May nakakaalam ba dito kung ung San Lorenzo ng EE used fabricated? Ang linis kasing tignan nung building at mas mabilis ang construction.

magkatower pala tayo! :-)

hindi pa kasama ang grace period na 12 months sa tower 1 so malamang gamitin yun ng empire east.

glorified tenement bldg ang dating.. dikit dikit ang buildings at iisa lang yata ang pool amenity area for the 6-7bldgs. if matutuloy yung succeeding bldgs, this will really congest the area. although mukhang matagal tagal pa yung succeeding bldgs.. mukhang mahina yung na yung sales nila (due to increased competition in the area) kaya kahit si EE tinatamad na tapusin yung 1st two bldgs..

thank you sa mga nagupload. Crossing my fingers tower 1 will be finished this year! Be positive folks =)

GO EE

PWL is 6 towers all in all. Towers 2 and 3 have their own amenity areas with a 15m pool and 1 wading pool...communal nga ang pool for all towers but it can accommodate the residents.

PWL towers are irregularly shaped to allow more spaces, more light, and more air to circulate in each building. EE projects are now allotting more open spaces so I think this project won't be congested.

Tower 1 is expected to be finished this year and hopefully, they can start to move in there already. Construction naman is ongoing e. :)

in my humble opinion, i dont think the bldg layout were properly thought of to have more air to circulate in each bldg.. just looking at how near bldg 1 is to bldg 2, hindi na ako makahinga..

also, a 15m pool is very small for a two tower high rise bldg, much more to all 6 towers. I am sorry but your comments above seem to be taken straight out from the EE brochure. :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:

andun pala sa page 24 nitong thread na to..due to change of facade daw kaya nagkaron ng additional 5 floors..

hello tower mates @ tower 2! 2 BR din ako pero nagrequest ako sa EE na kung pede wag na maglagay ng wall in between the room para effectively maging 1 BR lang sya. naliliitan kasi ako masyado sa mga rooms, pero mukhang di naman inapprove ng EE ung request ko.

It's likely that the wall you want to be taken out might be a 'structural wall' and not just an ordinary partition wall. It could also be possible that your request might had fallen on deaf ears

My question is if we started to pay the 48 month DP here in PWL by june. when will we move in? paano po ba ung process nun? gusto ksi namin makalipat if ever sana by 2013. and can anyone send me a 2 bedroom detailed computation? sorry dami questions bago pa lang po kasi.

You should be able to move in once youve settled your balance upon turnover. In some contracts, it ometimes say that you have to pay the balance once the turnover notice is received within some period otherwise you forfeit your ownership. So you have to make it clear with the developer not just with agents.

any development? sana may bago photos na maupload here..

Hi guys,

Gusto ko sanang humingi ng advice regarding Empire East's 50% refund under maceda law...

Really hope there is someone here that can suggest... Especially those who are facing the same problem...


Nakapagbayad na kami ng installment for more than 2years and last Dec 2011 we needed to cancel oir 2units in San Lorenzo Place (also Empire East)..
Sayang talaga pero di na namin kayang magbayad dahil may iba pa kaming financial problems.

So last Dec 2011, EE gave us back the cancelled future checks.

Pero hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin nila kami sinasagot sa madami naming chasers regarding "notarized notice of cancellation" at kung kelan nila bibigay ang 50% refund that we are entitled to under Maceda Law.

Hope may mga suggestions kayo dahil talagang kailangan namin ang pera.

sayang naman, bakit hindi mo binenta sa iba para at least makuha mo kahit 90% man lang.

reselling ur unit, even at way below the market price and your acquisition cost, is easier said then done.

Hello, hindi namin naisip yan.. nag-decide na kasi kaming mag-cut ng losses and accept that we'll lose the 50%. But we badly need the 50% refund para sa another financial issue namin.

Hirap lang talaga sa Empire east kasi hindi nila ako sinasagot...
I dont know what else to do..

you should consult a lawyer..
kelangan din kasi sindakin yang mga taga EMPIRE EAST..
hanggat makakalusot sila..lulusot yan..
kaya dapat ipaalam nyo na alam nyo yun MACEDA LAW and you will ask the help
of a lawyer para mkuha yung 5o percent refund..

wala ba bagong photos of woodlands?
need to see the latest developments..ambagal kasi eh

Thanks, pinag-iisipan nga namin na kumuha ng lawyer. Pero obvious naman na we know about MACEDA LAW kasi panay ang quote namin about it.

Ang hirap talaga ng empire east, kasi sales lang sila mabilis. After mo mag-book ng unit kami na talaga panay habol sa kanila. Hanggang ngayon nagmama kaawa na kami wala pa rin...

Sorry guys, just want to vent out... Wala pa rin kasing nangyayari sa hinahabol naming 50% REFUND and FINAL NOTICE OF CANCELLATION from Empire East.

Anyone having the same issue? Baka meron kayong kakilalang pwedeng mahabol from their office? :(

Hi! just sharing an experience of a friend of mine with another developer, though.. She was on the same situation and what she did was;

1. prepare a formal letter addressed to the division/ division head who handles cancellation or pull-out
2. PERSONALLY GO to the office and have it receive by the division in charge
3. in your letter; in reference to Maceda Law; ATTACHED Valid Receipts or Proof for the reason of your financial woes as a supporting documents. - (in my friend's case,hospital billings and doctors certification from her father;s helped justifies the financial losses)..
4. Again, Personally and directly get in touch with the person in charge from your developers office
5. in about 2-3 weeks the developer issued the check amounting to about 45-50% at the most from the amortized total. a fair deal than totally nothing

i hope these steps could help you. Its the client's mere presence at their head office is what will really call their attention.

Thanks for this suggestion :) I'll try to have one of my relatives do this for me :)

medyo mahihirapan ako gawin ito personally kasi nasa abroad ako nagtratrabaho. Although I went to Empire East office last Dec 2011 to get back the CANCELLED FUTURE CHECKS. Before that, i already gave a letter and email as my formal explanation.

So far, i've been emailing and calling them. Which is think should be ENOUGH...

^^ Good luck in your quest, rjd

sana naman may website na pinoprovide ang pioneer woodlands para macheck yung progress ng construction nito..

paging empire east!

hindi yata to aabot ng grace period nila ng december 2012, hmm nice, full refund with interest :)

Hello guys, yes I was just advised to contact a certain DEXTER GREGORIO and ERMANRIC CHAN (Credit and Collection Dept).

Shucks... woud you believe they just emailed me a letter saying my request for 50% refund is DISAPPROVED... because the contract says all payments shall be forfeited in favor of the seller as liquidated damages.

WOW!!!

Ang tagal nila kaming pinaghintay since Dec 2011 only to reply like that?
And does it mean Empire east is above the law (udner RA 6552 Maceda Law saying any contract stipulating otherwise is null and void)???

Grabe pala talaga ang empire east, nakaka disappoint...

Anyone else who experienced this from Empire east?

Malaking problema po yata yan. That only means you need to further discuss this with them in court.
Hayzz so sad to hear this one...

malapit ng matapos yung Light and Gateway Regency, which all started construction after Pioneer Woodlands. Medyo mabagal ata.

Walls are still not yet complete, kasi mukhang hollow blocks pa rin ang gamit while the other developments beside it are using pre-fabricated walls na. No way aabot to ng Dec2012. Dec 2013 maybe. By that time maunahan pa to ng Axis Residences

Malaking problema po yata yan. That only means you need to further discuss this with them in court.

Hello, hindi naman kailangan sa court kasi for sure may mga buyers ng empire east na naka-kuha ng refund.

Ang dami dami dito nagsasabi na nakakuha sila ng refund, bakit hindi ito magawa ng Empire East?

Dahil above the law sila? :((

Talagang mahirap kausap ang Empire East. I had bery hard time dati para lang makuha ko ang contract. Sobrang dami ngang naririnig kong reklamo to empire east.

Since Dec 2011, im experiencing that :((

Suggestion lang, pumunta ka sa HLURB (but call them first to get all info you need) and file a complaint and bring any and all your documentations, ie. you've been paying for at least 2 years, receipts, CTS or anything supplied by Developer for evidence. You don't need a lawyer to go to HLURB, but going through litigation (Court system) may require you to procure the services of a lawyer to mount a credible lawsuit that may have a chance of succeeding (winning).

yeah tama yung sinabi ng iba..file ka ng complaint sa HLURB..
huwag ka basta bibitaw.
maly laban ka..MACEDA law is really above the law..kahit ano pa yung nilagay nilang mga terms dun sa contract nyo..

malapit ng matapos yung Light and Gateway Regency, which all started construction after Pioneer Woodlands. Medyo mabagal ata.

ang pangit pa dito..di man lang naguupdate ang empire east sa mga buyers nila..

may mga AGENT ba dito ng PIONEER WOODLANDS?
aba kung ganyan ng ganyan na mabagal ang constructions nyo baka wala na bumili ng unit nyo!!!

yeah tama yung sinabi ng iba..file ka ng complaint sa HLURB..

Salamat sa lahat :) yes pupunta nga kami sa HLURB very soon to file complaint.

new photo please

parang di na ata gumagalaw constructions nito..

Hi jerkyjerk! Don't worry construction is ongoing naman. If I have info/photos about the construction updates, I'll post it here asap. Anong tower ka nga ulit?

sa tower 2 po ako..
sa palagay mo matatapos nila on sched yung dalawang towers?
sana continuous yung updates ng photos dito..
buti pa sa lights thread..marami nagbibigay ng photos..

What I can only say is that constructions works are ongoing. it's hard to say 'yes' or 'no' but that's what I can guarantee you. All empire east projects are ongoing, true it construction might be slow but they're trying their best to deliver on time.

Will try to upload photos if I have them na. thanks!:)

^Hi Empress, I have a unit in Tower 1 28th floor would you happen to have the project update details complete with the statistics (percentage of work completion) similar to what you've posted in the MW MGC thread.

Thanks

Hi Hec! I could only give you a project update AS OF JANUARY pa. For tower 1,
project accomplishment and podium is 71.80% while Tower 2 is 32% done. Again, these info are as of January pa ha.

Thanks appreciate it. Anyways in a couple of months I can have an actual visual of the site and its progress.

OT - Same with The Sonoma. I saw before that you've started a thread but couldn't find it anymore.

we hope you could also provide us some photos..

since wala ako sa pinas..yun partner ko ginawan ko ng power of Attorney para sya ang magasikaso ng mga papers ko jan..Hirap din ng pinagdaanan ng partner ko kasi pinupuntahan pa nya sa main office para magrequest..halos makipag-away na sya dun..
kaya hayun every 2-3 months pinapadala na sa bahay yung receipts..kailangan pa talaga sila kalampagin..

MEron ba kayong latest pics ng development ng PW?

jerkyjerk - wow, how sweet is your partner para asikasuhin nya lahat for you. :) avoid being a jerk sa kanya :nuts:

Nakakawalang gana talaga itong Empire East! Mag 2 years nako nagbabayad sa unit ko... till now hindi ko pa nakukuha yung contract to sell ko. Tapos ang last na nakuha kong receipt is September 2011. From October to May hindi pa nila pinapadala. Kung simpleng resibo lang na ipiprint lang nila eh nadedelay... ano pang ieexpect natin sa turnover ng units! May mga kaibigan nga ako nagtanong sa akin kasi interested sila kumuha ng condo units... sa inis ko sinabi ko kumuha na sa ibang developer wag lang Empire East. Ang pangit kasi ng after sales service nila!

sana mabasa to ng mga agents ng empire east para mai-address nila sa management..sila din baka mahirapan sila magbenta ng units jan..

di naman..tulungan lang..hehhe
kelangan talaga kalampagin ang empire east eh..

Jerky>how much were you able to buy your unit here in PW? Kelan ito and how big is the unit?

sana mabasa to ng mga agents ng empire east para mai-address nila sa management..sila din baka mahirapan sila magbenta ng units jan..

Actually yung agent na pinag kuhanan ko ng unit ko pati sya tinigil na ang pagbebenta ng Empire East projects... sya din kasi naiipit at naiinis na din sya sa kabagalan ng EE.

Kaya nga po marami nagpapayo na ang pag invest sa condo ay depende sa 2 major factors - location & developer....
sa Light po tutuusin eh inde po mura kasi nasa 100K++/sqm pero ang maganda sa Light ay inde lang location pati developer ay maaasahan...

In case may interested na owners or clients, special offers ongoing:
-25k reservation fee
-15k parking reservation fee
-3% discount on Tower 3

dba kawawa ung asa gitnang units? di nasisinagan ng araw?

Hello guys..here are some update about PW...hindi ako owner ng PW pero just sharing to everyone na bumili ng units sa project na toh..

I got this info sa info statement nila...hope madeliver nila ung projects on time..I got one sa KASARA...ang target turnover nila is 2016..anu ba ang promise before sa PW if you will not mind


Update on Projects

Pioneer Woodlands is the Company's first TOD project. This multi-tower development sits at the corner of EDSA and Pioneer Street in Mandaluyong City. It is physically connected to the Boni Avenue Station of MRT 3. The first tower is expected to be completed by the end of 2012

Yung 2016 ba na sinasabi mo is turnover ng Kasara or ng Pioneer Woodlands?

If I am not mistaken, yung agent ko dian sa Empire East sabi ang Tower 1 is 2012, Tower 2 is 2013 and Tower 3 is 2015.

Hi, i just want to ask kung ano po requirements for bank financing, I am considering to have a condo dito sa PWL, pero baka kasi endi maapprove ng bank yung loan after the 20% of the total contract price has been paid. Please give me an insight... thank you

Sana nga masimulan na ang turnover by the end of 2012...

I think it might depend on which bank you are planning on getting the loan from. Pero my friend told me that the best thing to do is to get a loan from a bank that has tie-up or is affiliated with Empire East. Kapag ganoon daw kasi, alam ng bangko kung ano ang documentation requirements from EE ang pedeng maibigay agad or pedeng hintayin.

EE has a tie-up with PSBank. And lately, someone from BDO has been emailing regarding their loan products.

For your reference, here is a link to PSBank's home loan page. Medyo comprehensive naman ang information na nakalagay:

http://www.psbank.com.ph/global/system.php?LS=staticpages&id=1190076742834

From what I know dapat ang turnover ng Tower 1 eh Sept 2012. From the looks of it, malabo madeliver by that time. :S

malamang gagamitin nila yung grace period na 1 year na nakaindicate sa contract..

malamang gagamitin nila yung grace period na 1 year na nakaindicate sa contract..

yung last quarter 2012 yun na yung grace period nila thats according to their presentation nung 2010.

yung last quarter 2012 yun na yung grace period nila thats according to their presentation nung 2010.

ah.so supposed to be dapat 2011 ang turn over ng tower 1?
what will happen ba pag di naiturn over sa specified date ang unit?
pwede ba magfile ng complain?

If its already beyond the grace period that was specificied in the contract, it would be like a breach of contract na mangyayari nun.. as such, legally, you can now cancel your contract and demand for damages (in your case, complete refund plus interests). Yun nga lang you have to bring this to court kasi malamang hindi ka lang papansinin ng EE if simpleng complain lang about the delay ang gagawin mo.

Ang mahirap sa developers, pag ikaw ang nagkamali or may pagkukulang, kung ano anong interest at penalty ang icharcharge na sau. pero kung sila ang nagkulang, balewala lang.

hi. i called empire east to ask them about this. they said that it was just a matter of submitting complete required documents, etc. they have already complied with requirements and are just waiting for it to be lifted.

their customer relations team seems to be friendly and accommodating everytime i call them.

they also said that the project is on schedule - turnover of tower 1 will be last quarter of the year. let's all hope for the best.

okay, thank you... i hope it's not a "palusot".. since it was from a government agency, medyo nakakaworry for investors... but yeah, let's hope for the best :)

Hello,

May idea po kau if applicaple ung "they have already complied with the requirements" dun sa KASARA project nila? I have invested with KASARA and may nagsend din sa akin ng link and may cease and desist order din ung KASARA.

Thanks

I'm not updated about kasara but you may want to call their customer relations hotline - 8678351 or 8678546. They're all quite helpful there.

Lately I have been receiving calls from Empire East Representatives before my check issued to them becomes due to remind me about it. It's a new service they are providing their investors. It's great isn't it? When you issue 36 checks or more, sometimes you forget about it even though it's due on the same day every month. This helps you keep your account updated and most importantly, avoid any bank fees for having insufficient funds, esp when you issue checks for an account solely devoted to paying them.

I'm not an agent, just an investor. Also nervous about the timely turnover, but i just thought that this is worth mentioning here :)

2016 pala sabi sayo. nun magreserve ako sa KASARA sabi nun agent ko 2015. oh well... yung mga nabasa kong mga negative feedbacks about EE kaya di na ako tumuloy... anyway good luck sa investment mo.

di naman sila accommodating when it comes to emails.. I've emailed them several times but wala man lang reply. Diba dapat sila ang nagbibigay ng construction updates sa mga bumili ng units? Yung link about sa CDO recent lang siya, every month ba nagbabago yung list na yun?

I saw the construction this afternoon. Topped off na ata yung towers 1&2. Kung tama ang description ko ng topped off, gawa na hanggang rooftop. :) sorry i wasnt able to take a pic. But anyway, I think, they can deliver this year. :)

Thanks for the good news.

Is this mean owners coudnt get their certificate of title? Gano kaimportante na walang cease and desist ang isang project? Pls advise

Is this mean owners coudnt get their certificate of title? Gano kaimportante na walang cease and desist ang isang project? Pls advise

Ang ibig sabihin po ng "cease and desist" ay "itigil o ihinto, at di na pwedeng ibenta o bilhin".

Ang ibig sabihin po ng "cease and desist" ay "itigil o ihinto, at di na pwedeng ibenta o bilhin".

so ibig sabihin kung merong cease and desist order ang isang project kahit fully paid na ito hindi matransfer ang title ng unit sa buyer? kahit naturnover at nakatira na ang buyer sa unit?

thanks rip013, katakot pala pagwalang LTS ang isang project

I saw the construction again yesterday. :)
They are now painting the facade. :)

BTW, I live near the area that's why I see this everytime. ^_^

^^


ehh d nakita mo din yung light residences sa tabi??? hindi ba nauna nang mga ilang taon ang PW sa LIGHT??? ehh bakit yung light tatlong higanteng towers na ang nakatayo... hindi ba kung investor ka ng PW, may halong pagsisisi pag nakikita mo sa tabi mo ehh mas maayos at mas mabilis ang pagawa... pareho naman ng location at pareho din nagsimula na mababa ang pre-selling price.

Yes, it's quite sad to realize such but the point is, PW is in progress. There might had some issues with the subcontractors that caused the delay, or other factors maybe. But still, it is on-going. That's the lighter side and a reason to be optimistic towards it. :)

There had been a change in the façade and an additional 5 floors of towers 1 and 2 from this:
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/ofngol/2011/pioneer-woodlands.png

actually the photo above is TOWER 3 which was launched May 2010, 36 floors yan. The number of floors for Towers 1 and 2 remains the same as well as their facade :)

Excuse me but that is so not Tower 3.

Those are Towers 1 and 2, with tower 3 almost totally hidden in the background.

And you are saying there is no change in façade when I already said there is?
I've created this thread exactly 5 years and 10 days ago, and that is July 11, 2007, so I know how the original design looks like and that is definitely not it meaning there is a change in façade as I've originally said.

This is the original design of the façade:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_by-B8FsK9rw/SGZvmvDlG9I/AAAAAAAAAFM/FsCANItOuis/S600/pwl%2Bweb1.jpg

As for the number of floors, yes, you are correct that the final product did not produce an additional floors but I dare you to count the number of floors of the old perspective with the new one. Notice an additional five floors like what I've said? There is.

But that's the other issue because the final product didn't came out as tall as the updated perspective that showed additional floors. Which is a good thing because the actual number of floors remained the same, thank God.

But then again, Empire East showed a taller updated perspective when the actual floors of the final product remains the same as the older perspective and in reality didn't number as much as the new perspective showed?

Tama ka bro, looking at the latest pics posted by aziza on the previous page eh nabago ang facade. They are starting to paint tower 1 and based sa pictures, the paint colors are in accord with the new rendering.

according to our sales agent, na wala na sa PW, december 2012 daw ang turnover ng Tower 1, sana this is true if not ano kaya ang pwedeng gawin? Ang tagal-tagal and hindi biro yung binayaran namin na down-payment........ :S And by the way makikita namin ang building this august. I'll try to take a photo and upload it here..

Regarding sa CDO, i tried asking it sa facebook page, which I don't know if yun ang totoong fb page ng Empire east but walang sagot.. Nakakaworry lang talaga grabe...

Not to burst anyone's bubbles pero I am 100% sure that turnover is not possible by Dec 2012. Based from experiences, it takes one year to do the finishing after the topping off and since wala pa ring topping off to-date, its impossible talaga. Matagal ang finishing works e.

agree- after topping off meron pa water tightness afterwards dun palang makapasok ang ibang scope of works such as dry works- energization pa then testing and commissioning

Passed by the site yesterday, parang may structure na yung guard house sa pioneer entrance, sementado na din papuntang tower.

Picture please.

thank you, Boycondo sa mga pics. nice shot. finally, nakita ko na ang floor ng unit ko sa tower 2 😄.

its turning out nice. mukha lang marumi because of the hollow blocks but once mapalitadahan na, gumaganda na. the cladding looks good too.

wait namin mga pictures ha..thanks

eto lang po ang nakuha ko kasi nasa sasakyan ako. pasensya. :) Pero parang same lang din sa mga bagong photos na nakapost dito. Di ko nakuhaan nung pumunta kami dun sa sales office, di pa raw pwedeng umakyat. Pero inassure na naman ako nung agent na kausap namin na sa December 2012 daw ang turnover ng Tower 1. And nag contract signing din kami sabi rin nung kausap namin sa Empire east mismo na end of the year nga daw.

Hi. Selling my Unit in Tower 1 for a good price. Would love to hold on to this due to the excellent location and best of all the direct access to MRT, but there are changes in my personal plans.

It's a 2BR corner unit at a high floor, and one of the biggest units in the tower. The price has appreciated significantly since i got it 3 years ago, but will sell at a good price. Tower 1 has been sold out long ago.

For all those who may be interested and to brokers out there, please send me message or email me at stylesandsteals@gmail.com

Thank you!

got an email from customer service ng empire east. Sabi December daw this year ang tapos ng unit but 1 yr after pa pede gamitin.. Bakit ganun? Eh bakit pa nila nirerequire na bayaran agad yung balance when hindi pa pala namin magagamit? parang lugi ata kami dun... standard ba na rule yun sa lahat ng mga condos?

If di pwede gamitin, it means di pa talaga usable. Maybe the units are done, but the rest of the common areas, essential areas, are not yet passable or operational. Maybe they want to announce the units are done so...

1. Buyers don't get upset, and are supposed to be happy the units are done
2. They can justify asking for the full payment.

Tsk tsk tsk... :(

Isa ito sa mga projects na dapat tutukan ni VP Binay para naman may magawa siya bilang public official at chairman pa ng HLURB.

small windows, cheap tiles at talagang nakalabas ang pipes ng ganyan???

The finishings of the interiors plus the bland amenities (if there are any) and the delay could not justify the price the unit owners paid.

usually ganyan makikita mo sa luob ng ceiling ng kitchen area. At least we know na may kitchen exhaust at doorbell sya compared sa iba na wala. pero bakit kaya may pintura na, bahala na ba unit owner maglagay na ceiling?

i am selling my 2br. unit in tower 2..
PM me if you are interested.

I'm actually selling my unit at Tower 1, 36 sqm corner unit facing EDSA. Here is the link. http://sulit.com.ph/6324066 Contact me at 830 5915 if anyone is interest.

Hi guys! Three shots I took from accross EDSA at Boni St Oct 8, 2012 past 5PM. My unit is in Light, but thought you guys might appreciate this. :D

Light looks massive in those angles! Ginawa mo namang dwarf yung Pioneer Woodlands, Ron. :lol::lol:

Ha ha, raven, the only way to avoid that is to not have them together in one photo. Oist, I really didn't mean to. Just happy to share the excitement of us all waiting for our units, neighbors. :) i was taking shots really only of Light, but thought, hey, our next door neighbors might want to see progress of theirs, too. :) kasi ganun din ginagawa ko, when I see a photo of Woodlands na nahagip din ang Light, tuwa din akong tingnan progress, he he

I know, Ron. I used to pass by EDSA before I moved to my unit and di sya ganung ka-obvious sa baba but when you see pictures from good heights, you'll see the difference.

In any case, I'm just happy that developments are going around the area, hopefully di agad masaturate ang market. Dami nang competitors now.

Sabi dec 2012 daw ang turnover so delayed na kung 88 percent pa lang sila.

picture taken last dec 9 2012 morning

sorry to burst the bubble of investors here, but from the looks of it, the dec 2012 turnover is nothing but a big lie

http://i47.tinypic.com/34zivyd.jpg

i am no construction works expert but i was surprised to see that EE's been using woods for their scaffolding! you know, those 2x2 woods nailed together to serve as standing/support platform... sa lahat ng condo na ginagawa dito sa mmanila, parang eto lang ata ang nakita kong gumagamit pa ng kahoy :lol: parang 2story residential house lang ginagawa. tapos hollow blocks pa (vs. prefab wall panels). hmm... on the positive side, could this mean a stronger structure? wood scaffolding in red circles

http://i45.tinypic.com/zxttsj.jpg

Scaffoldings are those on the left. What you encircled are braces doon sa ginagawang ledges for the ACU

Scaffoldings are those on the left. What you encircled are braces doon sa ginagawang ledges for the ACU

i see.. i got the term wrong. i thought all platforms that is used to support any physical construction activities are called scaffolding :)

PWL Tower 1 (2 ?) was topped off and December 2012 has passed which is the basis for the turnover after the one-year grace period.

When can we expect for the project (tower 1 and 2) to be completed and prepared for unit owners to move in (and here's hoping it'll be within the 1st quarter of the year !)?

Is the December topping-off event a milestone to be considered as project completion thereby EELHI will not need to compensate the unit owners/investors for the delay in the turnover?

Empire East reps. and for those in the know, kindly enlighten us on the issue and provide a status update regarding the project. Pics will be appreciated as well.

lagpas na sa grace period yung tower 1..
ano na kaya balita?
kelan na nga kaya ang turn over nito?

Good day!Construction updates/turnover/other concerns are now posted on our official twitter account: twitter.com/Empireeast

latest updates on this project?
matutuloy pa ba ang turn over ng mga units dito?

Delayed na I think nang 2 months and counting. Ang huling milestone ay yung na top-off ang tower 1 na December pa. Empire East reps baka pwede namang balitaan nyo kami kung kelan ang umpisa ng unit viewing/inspection. Mas mainam kung may development pics man lang. Yung sa twitter account nyo project work completion % lang.

aCTUal unit for turn over pioneer woodlands

we cannot view your photos.
please upload it in tinypic.com then copy the IMG link

nasa c drive pala nya :lol:

The property is a 2BR condominium unit in Pioneer Woodlands,
Tower 2, 29th floor (top flr).

It's semi-furnished, 32.5 sqm., with no parking lot yet.
As we speak, all units in Tower 2 are already sold out.
They are currently selling units in Tower 3.

I am selling this at its original contract price of 2.83M,
while the current market price is already at 3.4M.
As of January 2013, the 30% downpayment is already settled,
while the remaining 70% will be through in-house or bank financing.

If you are interested, you can settle the downpayment with me either in full amount or instalment, and settle the remaining balance either through in-house or bank financing.

Below is the calculation:
Downpayment: 849,000 (30%) - payable in full amount or instalment (via PDC in 1 year to 3 years max) AND STILL NEGOTIABLE
Balance: 1,981,000 (70%) - buyer will assume this through in-house or bank financing

As for the process, if you decide to take this opportunity, then the title will be transferred to you at no cost. I will be the one to shoulder the transfer fee.

PM me for further details.

Hi. I have a unit in Tower1. I have received an email from Empire East asking me to apply for bank financing. Anyone here who initiated the bank financing?

Newbie here sana walang hassle...

Hi. I have a unit in Tower1. I have received an email from Empire East asking me to apply for bank financing. Anyone here who initiated the bank financing?

I got the same e-mail a few months ago. I haven't started anything yet as I haven't seen any concrete accomplishments or any complete unit for that matter.

Mag initiate lang siguro ako ng loan proceedings if may substantial completion na akong nakikita sa Tower 1. Eh mukhang mauuna pa yung San Lorenzo Place project nila eh....

Hi. To everyone here who has another condo property. How do you pay for the real property tax? Will the developer be sending the unit owners a tax assessment computation or is it the owners' responsibility to get the property assessed by going to City Hall?

My other condo was turned over to me 2 years ago. And I haven't received any tax assessment so far (and haven't paid RPT yet). I have one colleague who has a property at Avida and she told me that their developer sent them real property tax assessment computation after their unit turnover.

ano na ang update sa project na ito?

kelan kaya ang start ng turnover ng Tower 1?
December 2011 pa ko natapos ng 30%DP up to now wala pang news ng turnover??? :ohno:

Where to shop in Manila? Let Pioneer Woodlands tell you the best place to start
by philstar.com | Monday | Updated April 8, 2013 - 12:00am

A lot of people from all over the country (and the world) ask where to shop in Manila? The answer is quite simple. Start from somewhere that is already in the middle of the best shopping places in the metro!

Located at the corner of EDSA and Pioneer Avenue, Pioneer Woodlands is Empire East’s first transit-oriented development, or TOD. It’s a residential project by Empire East that puts residents, especially shopping aficionados, right at the heart of a shopping haven. Pioneer Woodlands is set in Mandaluyong City, the country’s “shopping mall capital.” Nearby, SM Megamall, Robinsons Galleria and Shangri-La Mall offer all kinds of shops and dining places for the hip crowd. For anyone who fancies a trip to bargain heaven, Greenhills Shopping Center is a short drive away.

Wise shoppers know that good buys need not be expensive finds, which is why Pioneer Woodlands is an attractive investment that offers good deals on homes. Aside from a strategic location near topnotch malls, workplaces, schools and hospitals, the project gives condo buyers a choice between executive studios or two-bedroom units, along with friendly and flexible payment terms.

Now you've got a good home, and a great answer to friends who often wonder “where to shop in Manila ?” For inquiries, go to www.empire-east.com or contact us at 810-3333.

Your best life decision would probably be to grab a condo in Mandaluyong. It's where all the fabulous finds abound! Seize every opportunity life offers. Grab every single moment to be with the people who matter the most in your life. There's no need to rush as time is always on your side. From your home, the whole city has never been this close to you before. Wait for the next train at the MRT Boni station, which is exclusively linked to your own home, and move around the city with such convenience. And from wherever you are in the city, you'll be surprised that you're already home-bound in a few minutes.

And since you're already at home, find time to relax in your own spacious unit or recharge your mind and body as you head to Pioneer Woodlands' own amenity-filled area. Here, do more exceptional things at work and enjoy more time to savor life's simple pleasures – only from you happy condo in Mandaluyong.

It depends on the property management of the condo. In Megaworld, they send you a bill but in other developers i.e. DMCI, you pay by yourself.

Since your unit was turned over to you in more than 2 years, I suggest you go to city hall and pay your Real Property Tax.

^^ ei question, lahat ba may real property tax? first time here.

ano na ang update sa project na ito?

kelan kaya ang start ng turnover ng Tower 1?
December 2011 pa ko natapos ng 30%DP up to now wala pang news ng turnover??? :ohno:

wala ka pa ba nareceived na notification from them?
have you started paying the 70% balance na ba?

wala ka pa ba nareceived na notification from them?

wala pa jerkyjerk, hindi pa ko nagbayad ng 70% tutal wala pa naman notice of turnover or construction update... i
'll pay the 70% by bank financing kaya i told the bank not to release yet the loan...

^^ ei question, lahat ba may real property tax? first time here.
If it involves real property, YES.

wala pa jerkyjerk, hindi pa ko nagbayad ng 70% tutal wala pa naman notice of turnover or construction update... i
'll pay the 70% by bank financing kaya i told the bank not to release yet the loan...

its been 1.5 years since natapos ka magbayad ng 30% yet wala man lang updates galing sa kanila kung kelan ang turn over? what the F is that??

If it involves real property, YES.


i have no idea how much ang real property tax. magkano po usually inaabot for 25-30 sqm unit?

A friend of mine is asking if there will be complication in reselling her unit, see she has a 2br unit in tower 1 and has paid perhaps only half of the balance, she still has to pay some months + penalty would that be an issue in reseling?
