21-Storey Business Hotel to rise in Mandaue City

^^ wow...this is a good news for Mandaue! It's bout time! By the way, where did u get ur information jarenz? And where exactly in Mandaue would this building be located?

^ wow! another surprise! :banana::banana::banana:

21-Storey Business Hotel to rise in Mandaue City

A 21-Storey Business Hotel, which broke ground yesterday, will rise in front of the Cebu International Convention Center at the North Reclamation Area in Mandaue City.

The hotel is owned by the Lua Family in Mandaue City.

Architect Anthony Abelgas said that the hotel will not have amenities found in five-star hotels for the reason that it is a busines hotel. Instead, it would have a coffee shops, function halls, a ballroom, and other things that would specifically attract tourists.

The hotel is tentatively named "Nature's Suite," as the concept of the hotel is nature-inspired. It gives the feeling that one is outdoors, he said.

He said the hotel, once finished, would be the biggest in Cebu with 1,071 rooms.

Delegates attending a convention at the CICC, for instance, would no longer have to go to Cebu City for a place to stay, abelgas said.

Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes, who attended yesterday's groundbreaking ceremony together with the Lua Family, said he is glad the hotel will rise in the vity's most strategic area, it being near the CICC and the Parmall, which is now under construction.

The Hotel Industry is definitely booming. Just remember Grand Cenia and Hongkong Plaza was just anounced this year!

1,071 rooms :eek2: so It'll be a massive building.

1071 rooms? that's a lot for a 21 floor building., :) it looks like its gonna be massive., :) and good location., :)

The world class resort will have 616 rooms in six medium and three low-rise buildings. There will also be 40 single-units complete with amenities.

imperial palace hotel, once completed, will be cebu's biggest hotel with 600+ rooms.. but it will soon be overtaken by this hotel.. :cheers:

^^ wow! here come's another surprise.! and it's near our school. hehe. hopefully it will be finished before i graduate. :D

^^ massive!

i would probably see the construction progress of this hotel once started kaso lang, wa nako sa lapulapu nag-work. huhuhu... but great news indeed!

I don't like the design that much... or perhaps I would need a better view to be totally impressed. Nevertheless, it is still a sign of progress. Woo-hoo!

The Hotel Industry is definitely booming. Just remember Grand Cenia and Hongkong Plaza was just anounced this year!


if my memory serves me correctly, there wasn't a single press release about HongKong Plaza Hotel... info came directly from the owner (interviewed by @jarenz et al) and from the construction workers and the pic of the project's text signage (c/o @rage) which was posted outside the fence when it started the construction...

Mandaue to get first high-rise
Cebu Daily News
Last updated 12:00nn (Mla time) 12/11/2007


MANDAUE CITY, Philippines – Mandaue City will have its first high-rise building in 2009. It will be a 21-story business hotel just across the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC).

Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes said the building “will become a landmark.”

The highest buildings in Mandaue reach only up to six stories high compared to neighboring Cebu and Lapu-Lapu cities.

One of the tallest buildings in Mandaue is also one of the oldest — the San Miguel Brewery building.

“This project will be a catalyst for change,” said Cortes, who led groundbreaking rites at the former 6R Equipment lot across the CICC.

Anthony Abelgas, project architect, said the business hotel will be tentatively called “Nature Suite” since the owners also own Nature Spring Waters, based in Mandaue City.

The building will have 1,071 rooms. /Reporter Dale G. Israel

^^ press is sometimes... depending on sources... unlike ssc forumers are direct from developers/owners/ and other entities...

Sometimes only few believes on it...

^^ wow! here come's another surprise.! and it's near our school. hehe. hopefully it will be finished before i graduate. :D

plus the u/c Kabayan Hotel near Robinland Business Center

^ after Nature's Spring.. now Nature's Suite. . . so sweet. :)

I don't like the design that much... or perhaps I would need a better view to be totally impressed. Nevertheless, it is still a sign of progress. Woo-hoo!


Seems they used Sketchup for the render to delineate the building and an aerial to emphasize the mass of the structure. Maybe a man's eye perspective would give it justice.

The colors used in the design does not exactly remind one of nature, but it does remind me of Richard Meier's post modern architecture :)

^ after Nature's Spring.. now Nature's Suite. . . so sweet. :)

IMO....I expect the hotel's water supply is purified like in the shower or bathtub.:lol:

^^ for sure, the official drinking water supplier is Nature's Spring.... ano pa nga ba? :lol:

^^ and the official jet is Ocean Jet? hahaha!

actually, maganda yung design nya. yung rugged details sa inner sides ng building looks cool.

^^ any update?

Area is now cleared... Any month by now the site will be fenced!

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l318/vatics0916/IMG_3710.jpg

looks like this hotel is situated at the corner lot directly across the CICC, formerly occupied by 6R Heavy Equipments, which btw is actually owned by a King. i think Richard King's brother or something. had the lot been sold to J. Kings and Sons Inc, we could have a Club Ultima/Crown Regency tower instead. :D but anyway, the area has been fenced even after 6R vacated the lot. no sign of construction or anything like that though.

^^ tnx for the update!

Is this the same "King" of 6R who was kidnapped? I saw him in a dinner at GrandCon.. Actually I have a friend who is related to them and whose aunt died last month and then he invited me to this dinner after the burial.

exactly nold :yes:

^^ yeah, that was such a controversial kidnap for ransom case in cebu

^^ i had classmates in college who belong to the King family...they're very down to earth...you'd never expect that they're rich kids....

^^

Oh thanks.. I could have asked him for details about the sale of their property.


@Rusty

Diba Resty you also have a property near 6R or was it your family business that is located near there? Marvin told me about it :D :D

yeah, we rented a lot (just beside 6R) where our San Mig 10-wheeler trucks can park since limited lang ang ma accommodate inside the San Miguel Corp Plant. the lot was already cleared though since last year pa to give way for the Asean Summit. we've moved na to a lot near the plant itself :D

actually, daghan man jud King nga businesses like heavy equipments, auto supply and spare parts, and even diapers (kadungog mog JollyBaby Diapers? ilaha man na! :lol:) nga suki namo and one of the owners was close to my dad who introduced Club Ultima in 2002. that's one of the reasons dad bought the membership.

anybody naay picture ni Richard King?
need it badly....

i saw two pile drivers at the construction site today! they've started drilling na, at least on how I look at it. :okay:

at last Mandaue will have it's first high rise. :cheers:

there's a property that is being fenced near Nature Suite. I hope it's not going to be warehouse that would ruin the vicinity there.

yup construction has started.. :okay:

really? nanay rendering sa site bai? It would be very huge if viewed from Mactan channel...

really? nanay rendering sa site bai? It would be very huge if viewed from Mactan channel...

Wala pa rendering sa site pero meron nang mga pile drivers working for the foundation. Weeh can't wait for Mandaue recla to be full of highrises :banana:


...

this is great news! sad thing is i will not be able to see its progress daily like i did when cicc was under construction since i no longer work in lapu-lapu. good thing is, naay ssc to see the updates!

^^

that's even better bai kay it's boring to see a building rise slowly everyday, hehehe..

much better if, say, you pass by there next month and you'll be surprised that there's already a high rise hotel, hehehe.. :lol:


...

When gani ni mahuman?

hahaha that's true. you can not appreciate the progress if you see it everyday actually.

they have torn down the concrete wall on the rear part of the site. i've seen some construction materials too.

soon, mandaue will have it's first hi-rise already. and it's a 21-storey building!

^^

OT: Those traffic/security cams are functioning right?

I saw one at the Osmeña Wharf a while ago and I was amazed because the camera inside is actually moving 180 degrees left and right.


..

^^ yup! theyre working. if you look closely or go near those cameras you would actually see them looking at you. :)

^^

Remote controlled noh? because the one near Abellana doesn't move continuously at 180 degrees both sides but rather intermittently.

I tried to observe how the camera at the Abellana area moved and I noticed that there are times that it will move to the left, and then stop, and then move immediately to the right, etc.

not only that, its hi-res, it can zoom in on the plate numbers

Wow, humahabol din ang Mandaue ah!

actually beyond that fence, daghan nang piles ang nalubong solid na kaayo tan awon.

^^ thanks pao..

bitaw correct. daghan na nalubong nga murag mga concrete columns. it's not visible lang kay medyo layo ko sa site itself.

in fairness, ang kanang mga eqpt imo makita diha are being used and wala na gi-park lang.
well it's a 20 storey something building so let's wait.

@ejames
that's why i did not "label" my photos as "update" coz you can't see so much progress yet. especially from that angle where i took the photos from.

^^ question: since i assume there won't be diggings, how does pile driving work to support a 20 storey building?

^^

I think they will still dig bai..It's just that when they get to the bottom, they will now have a sturdy foundation to work on because of the piles embedded underneath..

:dunno:

@Lord Cedric: A 21 storey building doesn't rise just overnight. ;)

^^
They need to do pile driving for its foundation. Since the area is reclaimed, it requires numerous piles to be driven to ensure that the structure is stable.

Pag wala pa stable na soil, hindi hihinto ang pile driving, although everything has been computed through resultd from soil sampling tests.

Usually foundation works eat up 30-40% of the building cost especially if the subsurface soil is not "stable"

Here's a more comprehensive introduction of pile foundations

http://www.sbe.napier.ac.uk/projects/piledesign/guide/chapter1.htm

hehehe....

I have a question...

What is the proportion in terms of the depth of a foundation with regards to the height of a building?

For example how deep usually (in terms of floor equivalent) does a foundation have to be if a building is say, 40 stories, so that it won't topple over during a strong earthquake or typhoon?

.:.

It depends on the soil characteristics - its ability to hold a structure without slipping ...if clayey, sandy or other types...and also depends on the total weight of the superstructure - or the building itself...

Piles are driven to hold onto a "hard" soil in order to support the weight above...

There are cases when a three storey building is supported by 10 lengths or more....per pile driven in a hole


Lateral movements caused by Earthquakes and wind (typhoon) are considered for structures 3 storeys and up. The total load they cause are then being ansorbed by walls, roofs and beams which in turn are supported by the columns. All building weight or load are carried by the columns which transmit them to the foundation.

The total load computed per column should be supported by its foundation, either footings (the mat or slab that carries the column)...

If the load is too great, that a footing cannot carry then engineers resort to piles - which is a very costly form of foundation....

Piles are common for areas with soft sub-soil i.e. reclaimed or near seas with sandy soil....

For stable soil such as limestones or hard soil - mat or footing foundations are typical... these were used by buildings inside IT Park, along Fuente-Ramos, Ayala and mountainous parts of Cebu...

The size, depth and type of foundation depends on the total load the entire structure carries and the soil strata....

i think wala ma hold woi.. kay sige man gihapon ang work.. i even see several trucks going in and out of the area and some vans unloading scaffolding and some machineries.
perhaps its just very difficult to establish a building in a newly reclaimed area rather in a stable land area....

^^Aiiii, mga Huang ani? Are you sure about this bai?

dili mga Huang bai.. mga Lua family. While they own Natures Spring they also own Oceanjet, Goldenbridge Shipping, Socor Shipping, Socor Construction, Kimwa Development Corp etc. :)

"is there any possiblity nga pagamyan ang plano?"

maayo unta dili usbon bai.

from a very reliable source: this project will be indefinitely put on hold. when it will resume? no details available.

rumor has it that the company is still recovering their investments in Mindanao. their expansion in Mindanao did not do well. once they have recovered, construction will resume.

this is just to set everyone's expectations. :) and this is not an official announcement. rumor lang :D

the Lua's had no known large investments in Mindanao except the Philippine Spring Water Plant in Cagayan de Oro which dili man sad seguro losing since Nature's Spring Water is doing good in both Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

just my two cents..

..malapit lang ba to sa CICC?

yes.@ chuck23.. it is located adjacent...

The site were all covered with perimeter fence.

I think the old render photo last 2007 did not compromised with the stated amenities.

Perhaps it has been revised. sorry I dont have any update on these.

Thanks... I think the construction is now full blown as the T crane is now being readied.. It will be exciting to see a T Crane in this part of Mandaue Reclamation.. :D

I think they already did.

The site were all covered with perimeter fence.

same number of floors and name Sir?

There is an information na 25 storey na ang Mandaue Natures Suite Hotel.. :D

same number of floors and name Sir?


My source is 21 storeys and I think it is. Otherwise they revised the plan.

pls view pictures below if sakto ba ako site nga gi-piktyuran? atbang man kaha ni sa CICC? wala man ko'y nakita nga T-cranes or mga equipments ganina...

Have seen alot of constructions na ingon ana sad... maybe for identification purposes ra jud na ig mo visit ang taga OBO..
