It’s what they call Fountain Breeze and it is brought to us by one of the country’s most aggressive—and definitely progressive—real-estate companies.

Fountain Breeze is a 3.1-hectare master-planned and environmentally-sound community located in Sucat in Parañaque City and developed by PHINMA Properties, Inc., a real-estate firm famous for its beautifully-crafted mass-housing projects. The company’s popularity soared after it established a reputation for building affordable housing projects that are the epitome of class, sophistication, and natural elegance despite its low price structure.

Sales of Phase 1, the medium-rise area, of Fountain Breeze has been truly electrifying and has since established several records of sorts because of the frenetic pace buyers have been lining up to get a piece of Fountain Breeze. And now that Phase 2 or the high-rise portion of the project is already in full swing, expect clients to fervently ask for information about this truly exciting project.

The development of Fountain Breeze envisioned a complete lifestyle haven in a single address. Its unit sizes are definitely not too scrimpy since they are expandable from as small as 30 square meters to as spacious as 100 square meters in order to suit individual choices of single professionals, entrepreneurs, families or newly-wed couples and even active retirees out to make a statement in their urban living lifestyle.

Fountain Breeze has commercial units and spectacular amenities, all within a secure, safe, and self-contained enclave that also offers generous parcels of open areas with masterfully-crafted layouts that complement the current landscape of the immediate vicinity and would likewise leave residents and potential buyers alike truly breathless in awe and amazement.

But then again, despite its attractive features and genuinely efficient design and layout, the biggest influence among clients whenever they visit to come and take a look at Fountain Breeze units is its price.

The price for 30 square meter units at Fountain Breeze fetches between P1.1 to P1.2 million, a genuinely affordable price range for start-up couples and retirees who wish to avail of their own real property. Competitors’ prices are pegged almost the same but at a smaller, 20-square meter size, thereby translating to about 50 percent more space for clients’ hard-earned money.

“Phase 2 of Fountain Breeze also offers 2-Bedroom units designed for buyers who want to move-in without having to worry about renovating their units,” says Grant Orbeta, VP for Marketing and Design.

Plus, aside from the affordable price structure, payment is available in very flexible and affordable payment terms through Pag-IBIG. This was possible because of the long-standing reputation of PHINMA Properties in terms of developing mass-housing projects in cooperation with national housing agencies.

Through Pag-IBIG, buyers can avail of a very low down payment of just 5% or P60,000 for a 30 square meter, second floor unit. Fountain Breeze’s unit specifications are higher than what one would normally expect from this price range. This means that buyers can loan as much as 95% of the unit price allowing them to enjoy low monthly amortizations of just P11,518 that is payable up to 25 years.

“Our company slogan basically speaks of making the lives of Filipinos better through affordable yet beautiful housing projects. Not only that, we make sure that they get the very best after-sales support from the company because we believe that we should not spare less to make a customer satisfied at all times,” explains Willie Joven Uy, President and CEO of PHINMA Properties.

[manila_eye]

phinma has a good reputation ewan ko lang pagdating sa condomium... marami talagang condos na unting tinatayo sa sucat... not as expensive as other parts of the metro but classy indeed.

[lancetrn]

What can I say, I'm a unit owner in one of their QC projects and many of us are not happy with the way their Post Project Management Group is treating us unit owners. Too slow to respond to our concerns and you literally have to go berserk to have something done. Their latest caper is the use of "Divide and Rule" strategies to weaken our position on community issues, particularly our request for transparency on how community funds are spent. Well, buyers beware.. :ohno:

A safer option for landowners
By Charles E. Buban
Philippine Daily Inquirer
11/07/2008

WITH the global credit crisis threatening to cast a dark cloud over the country’s already improving real estate market, property developers here have learned, through previous experience, some ways that will help keep themselves afloat.

“The global economic meltdown, beyond doubt, will eventually take its toll on the country’s still recovering real estate sector. But this does not mean developers will put everything on hold and wait for the situation to become more favorable,” said Phinma Property Holdings Corp. President and CEO Willie Uy. Instead, developers like Phinma Properties have learned to deal with the situation.

“During these times, we seek landowners who would be willing to form a joint venture with us. This (arrangement) is more convenient to them while in our case, we won’t be too exposed,” Uy explained.

In fact, this is what Phinma Properties has been doing for a couple of years now, especially to idle properties located within Metro Manila.

Love

“Most of these landowners would love to see their properties converted into something that will give them profit. But with the tough business climate they will have to face and the huge sum of money they will have to shell out, they are often forced to put their plans on hold,” said Phinma Property Holdings AVP for Marketing and Design Grant Orbeta.

But with the kind of arrangement Phinma Properties offers, a number of these landowners are now benefiting from such a win-win offer.

“The best example would be our latest project in Sucat, Parañaque City.

The 3.1-hectare Fountain Breeze on Lombos Avenue enables its landowner to profit from every unit we sell and even in each increase in the price of the units,” Orbeta explained.

He added that the landowner got to enjoy the fruits of the partnership much sooner because Phinma Properties utilized a unique construction method that enables them to deliver units a lot quicker.

Cast-in-place

“Phinma Properties utilizes state-of-the-art building technologies such as cast-in-place system, that allows us to build structures at a rate of one floor per day or a four-building cluster of 116 units in 60 days,” Uy explained.

For example, Fountain Breeze’s high-rise structures used the so-called tunnel form system, in which story-height inverted L-shaped units are locked together to make inverted U-shaped wall, floor and ceiling forms.

In fact, Phase 1 of Fountain Breeze with five buildings and 493 condo units was turned over to buyers in five months. Phase 2 recently topped off the 11-story building in three months and target completion is next month.

“Traditionally, developers would construct walls and floors separately.

Using these casts that form as single units, they could be stripped and repositioned the next day, allowing for a quicker building time. Also, using these tunnel forms, allow for smooth walls (courtesy of the form’s steel faces) that no longer require cement plastering,” Orbeta said.

Amazing

But even without considering these advantages, Uy explained that projects like Fountain Breeze are hard to pass up for a lot of homebuyers, which means units will get sold much quicker and the landowner is assured of profits.

“Fountain Breeze is strategically located between Makati and the Alabang/Filinvest growth area. It is also minutes away from Naia and the new Philippine Air Transport and Training Services’ College of Aeronautics is just a next-door neighbor. In fact, some of our country’s future airline personnel have discovered Fountain Breeze and are now happily residing there,” Uy shared.

He also added that the development offers a clubhouse that features an expansive badminton court, a fitness gym, a playground complete with a mini playhouse, slide and swing as well as a swimming pool that features a wading area for the kids.

“Units are affordably priced starting at P877,000 available with an easy-on-the-pocket payment terms. For those interested, we have two new model units—a 2-bedroom 40-square-meter unit and a 60-sq-m unit (combination of two 30 sqm units)—on display at the clubhouse,” Orbeta said.

The three-bedroom 60-sq-m model unit features a spacious living, dining area, kitchen, bathroom, washing area and den/TV room (convertible to a guest room) in one unit while the other unit has a master bedroom with master bathroom, a girl’s bedroom, and a study area in the hallway.

The other model unit already on display at the project site is the one-bedroom 30-sq-m unit.

“Our buyers have a choice of unit or units in the five-story medium-rise structures in Phase 3 or in the high-rise 11-story buildings, all with elevators in Phase 2,” Orbeta said.

Bilib ako sa ID nila. Maganda ang presentation ng smallest unit which is 30sqm. We bought in the mid-rise building, but we didnt move in yet.

Wow, it’s furnished! (http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2009/april/05/yehey/property/20090405prop3.html)
Manila Times (http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2009/april/05/yehey/property/20090405prop3.html)

In response to the boom and increasing demand for affordable and at the same time quality living, Phinma Property Holdings Inc. (Phinma Properties) recently announced a buyers’ incentive program for the studio units in the Bellagio Building of Fountain Breeze in Sucat, Parañaque.

The incentive is designed to attract young professionals, starting couples, students and investors as well.

Besides affordable pricing and quality found in all Phinma Properties projects, the studio units come with an appliance and furniture showcase once they are turned over to the buyers. The appliance package includes a + HP air-con unit (American Home), five-cubic-feet refrigerator, microwave oven (American Home) and 21-inch colored TV.

The furniture showcase is composed of multipurpose cabinet, twin-size bed and dining set for two.

“The rational behind this promo is to give an opportunity to a segment where speed is the main thing in their lifestyle. Through this incentive, we are giving them this chance where they can buy a unit and not worry on how to furnish it,” said Willie Uy, president and chief operating officer of Phinma Properties.

Uy said the convenience of buying a furnished unit in Bellagio Building, Fountain Breeze comes with the guarantee of the firm’s seal of quality.

The buyers’ incentive aims to attract parents who plan to send their children to nearby schools such as PATTS. He said parents investing in a unit in the Bellagio building will be making a worthwhile investment because their children are guaranteed to stay in a safe, nice and secured place.

Grant Orbeta, vice president for sales and marketing, said the buyers’ incentive is a good investment for people who want to invest early in quality and affordable living. At price as low as P905,000 buyers can easily afford these units and have a worry-free move-in.

Phinma Properties makes city living easy
http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2009/july/12/yehey/property/20090712prop1.html


If you were at liberty to choose, would you live in a high-rise condominium with ample legroom, complete with a swimming pool, playground for the kids, function room for your get-togethers, 24-hour security surveillance and adequate parking spaces? Now here’s a quick reality check: condominiums like the aforementioned do exist, but they will cost you an arm, a leg and a family member to rent. Throw in an in-law, and you might be able to afford to buy it.

Here comes the first curve ball—not all condominiums that fit the idyllic bill are that expensive, or that hard, to attain.

Doused plans

Without a doubt, you’ve been on the quest to find that Camelot that you can call home, trying to collect and select properties that give you the best value for your money, being the smart buyer that you are. Plan A, you contacted several real-estate agents and haggled in terms of your budget. You were shown affordable condominiums that unfortunately were roughly the size of pigeonholes and mailboxes. You tried Plan B, haggling in terms of floor area and amenities. You were shown architecturally stunning layouts and lusciously manicured lawns, but you couldn’t sacrifice Lola’s medical bills for the sake of a gorgeous living area. So you ended up with Plan C, renting something that was within your budget, saving up whatever tiny amount was left over after your bills, in the hopes of one day affording a home of your own.

Watch out for curve ball number two—a well-established property developer can give you that glossy swimming pool, that wide living space and that 24-hour security surveillance without inadvertently killing an ailing relative.

But don’t you just hate it when you stumble across the most beautiful real estate you’ve ever seen, with the most affordable terms you’ve ever encountered, only to find out that construction begins in 2015 and will be open for occupancy in 2032?

Reality check

Heads up, here comes curve ball number three—this very same property developer works quickly, and it works hard. So you actually don’t have to pay rental fees on top of your amortization expenses.

Just to show that we aren’t lying-check out www.phinmaproperties.com. Or call 533-7777/535-6800.Check out their two latest offerings Fountain Breeze in Sucat, Paranaque, and Sofia Bellevue in Capitol Hills, Quezon City

The same property developer that has brought you affordable and quality homes since 1987 assures you of a “complete lifestyle [with] one address” through Fountain Breeze, which was ready for occupancy within the same trimester that construction began. Sofia Bellevue was launched in March this year and the first two buildings will be completed within the same year. In other words, while you were trying to haggle with your landlord for an early termination of your rental contract and while you were bargaining with countless Manong Lipat-Bahay outfits to move your collection of teapots from all around the world without charging extra for fragile freight, your unit was being readied for your imminent transfer. That’s called the red carpet treatment.

Extras for less

Fountain Breeze lives up to Phinma Properties slogan of a “City Living Made Easy.” You get all the amenities, plus 50- percent extra floor area for 20-percent to 30-percent less the average selling price.

“This value-for-money philosophy is Phinma Properties’ pride,” says Willie Uy, president and chief executive officer. “In fact, our specs allow buyers to get very high loan values for their units, allowing them easy financing terms to as low as P10, 221/month through Pag-Ibig.”

Adds Grant Orbeta, vice president for marketing: “You can say that we are empowering people with their hard-earned money. They will see that the money they worked hard for has brought them to a more convenient, safe, secure, and even pleasurable way of life. Our new studio units are complete with furniture and appliances.”

Instant ownership

So, think about the benefits. You get the wide legroom for a lower cost. You get the amenities in a gated compound with optimum security. You get a really fast turn-over so you don’t have to pay rent, since the payment terms that Phinma Properties offers you though Pag-Ibig allow you to own your unit almost instantaneously.

At Fountain Breeze, you get to live right in between the hustle and bustle of the Central Business District and the southern charm and serenity of the Alabang area. Sofia Bellevue offers modern comforts in an upscale community across The Capitol Hills Golf and Country Club near Ateneo, Miriam and UP Diliman.

And you get property developers that have made this estate with you in mind, and who continue to operate it with you in mind. It does not get any easier than, doesn’t it?

Looks promising!

Anyone knows if there are still available 30sqm units at Villa 5? How much would it be now?

TIA! :)

Value-for-money deals (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=522884&publicationSubCategoryId=76)
(The Philippine Star (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=522884&publicationSubCategoryId=76)) Updated November 13, 2009 12:00 AM


MANILA, Philippines - The record downpour brought about by recent tropical disturbances that wreaked havoc in the metros revealed a weak, if not, lack of urban and flood control planning. It also left hundreds of thousands of urban dwellers scampering to safer grounds and rooftops because of the unprecedented flooding and mud-soaking in the most modern cities in the Philippines. Billions of real estate investments literally went down the drain.

This phenomenon compelled urban developers and real estate buyers and investors to go back to their drawing boards and trusted advisers to seek answers to this new dilemma. After the metro calamities, condominium and residence development and investing will never be the same.

However, there are three current urban development projects that may be considered as real estate investment havens as they already have incorporated flood and urban planning assessment into their preparations long before Typhoon Ondoy dumped the sea into the city. Phinma Property Holdings Corporation (Phinma Properties) has already been taking steps to protect its development sites from flooding and other natural calamities. The Fountain Breeze in Sucat, Parañaque, the Sofia Bellevue and the Flora Vista in Capitol Hills and Commonwealth in Quezon City, respectively, boast of a meticulous review component in their site selection process that considers natural calamities and other urban-living factors.

All three projects under the Phinma Properties, known for its award-winning medium rise condominium projects, comply with a stringent in-house design and development assessment. Phinma Properties have always taken the extra mile to ensure that their buyers are not just getting a top quality unit within a classy compound, but also a top quality way of life brought about by the conditions of their communities and surroundings.

“We know that condominium living is just a transition phase that many modern city dwellers have to go through because, deep inside, they still long for a bigger, more spacious traditional house of their own. Despite this buyers’ outlook, we still develop the best value-for-money condominium projects available in the city today; offering them the convenience of comfortable living within the metropolis, “low-priced, big-sized” unit, and a premium on security and safety,” Willie Uy, president and chief executive officer of Phinma Properties, said.

He added, “To be able to do that, we always consider possible untoward scenarios of city living: traffic, floods, crime, garbage disposal and others, whenever we select sites for development. We have committed to offer residential units that doubles as valuable investments for our buyers.”

Uy also recalled the numerous manhours spent in consulting with city engineering and engineering consultants before they even break ground for a project. Currently, city home buyers are looking at condominium developments with much consideration on time conservation, ease of maintenance, and freedom from city-living-inconvenience. Condominium living has also become an answer to the flood predicament that the city managers are trying to solve.

Thus, buyers now flock to the three Phinma Properties projects as trends of condominium living continues on the upswing and with good reason.

The Fountain Breeze in Parañaque offers a hefty 50% extra floor area for 20 to 30% less the average selling price compared to other developments. “No other development project in the area can present a better deal” adds Grant Orbeta, vice president for marketing & sales. “Phase 4 of Fountain Breeze offers studio units for as low as P650,000. This pricing strategy provides Fountain Breeze buyers opportunities to avail of easy financing terms for as low as 4,900/month thru PAG-IBIG”, says Orbeta. And with astounding amenities, such as a swimming pool, kiddie pool, a clubhouse, a fitness hub, playground, comfortable units, and a 24-hour security, it is a very difficult deal to match.

Its strategic location also gives one the versatility to either mix it up in the hustle and bustle of the Makati Central Business District or relax in the calm and supple atmosphere of the Alabang area in just 15 minutes; a very attractive city-to-countryside-and-back versatility that is very hard to resist.

Versatility is also one of the highlights of Flora Vista, a midrise condominium project that caters to the mid-market segment. It is situated in one of the most beautiful areas in Quezon City: the Commonwealth area. Flora Vista is conveniently located near transportation, education and commercial hubs. With the commercial and shopping havens Trinoma and SM North Edsa, plus the Techno Hub and many other office buildings nearby, Flora Vista is ideal for young urban professionals and for couples starting a life together who plan to invest in the most convenient city dwelling possible.

With the best schools in the land just minutes away, parents buying a spacious, safe and secured place to stay for their children still studying are in for one of the best investments of their lives with Flora Vista, as prices start at P877,000 only. The 1.8 hectare Flora Vista development will have nine five-storey walk-up buildings that feature units having a standard size of 30 square meters which can be expanded to 60 or 90 sqm depending on the buyers’ needs and budget.

what are these issues with their PMO? I got a unit at Sophia Bellevue...hows the parking being managed here in Fountain Breeze? do they have paypark? or visitors parking?
