These nice set of twins are currently in the proposal stage. It's future site is currently a parking lot.

I like the design of the two towers. even though they look a LOT like the Pacific Plaza twins. and they've got a great location that will be pretty well developed by the time the towers are completed.

so far nothing's been happening. is the pre-selling over? i guess 2007 and 2008 are still faraway...

yeah it looks like the pacific plaza but not as nice as pacific plaza :)

hmmm...for me it looks nothing like the Pacific Towers:D But they are also very very nice, not far from Pacific Towers' beauty.
I doubt pre-selling is over, we still have to wait for a long time for these twins.

how tall do you think it will be? :? 40 storeys, but could it have a small height-per-floor ratio?

i think its height-per-floor ratio is taller than the usual megaworld building.

i think the round helipad on the buildings reminded me of pacific plaza towers :)

Hmmm, yeah i think thats the only similarity.

wooo!!! those eastwood-towers looks so damn cool and futuristic!

:)

Here's a bigger picture of those Parkview Towers:

any news on when the construction will commence? or has it experienced problems?

the construction has started last march

You sure? i dont think so. Maybe you are mistaking it for One Orchard Road or something...

it says here groundbreaking just started last march, so ronnaveth could be right
http://www.eastwood-properties.com/index/pix/GB_large-popup.jpg

this saves the cluster of high rises in eastwood. it's only cool because it is the least boxy building in the area. if i place one in makati and the other in ortigas, neither would be noticed. it's too damn predictable. it plays safe. there's nothing special in it. nothing to love or hate about. oh, there are some things to hate: those bold stripes. reminds me of a very tall new scraper in ortigas. and the staircase-like shape of the top . c'mon. they can do better than that.

Cool, so rennaveth is right:) I'm looking forward to this project.

Any new updates on it?:D

here's some new updates, from an inquirer newspaper. one building is now going up, named like One Central Park, or something around that. doesnt look too curvy. but i like it.

good news! loking forwar dto see this built. personally i beleive it would be the best looking building in eatwood.

actually, there's now four buildings with a similar facade. should be interesting, im not sure whether itll look nice

Has anybody here actually purchased a condo here? I'm from San Francisco and my last visit to the PI in February I went down to Eastwood to check out the model condo. I can say I was so impressed with it that I signed papers that afternoon and put a deposit on a space! Can't wait!

Mike

Hey Mike. I am from San Francisco too and just like you, I went back Feb. 2004. Ang saya ano? How much was the condo? Sq. footage? Any other info? What caught your eye? Just wondering...

Ingat!

yeah mike i am also from SF, please give us more info about the condo you plan to purchase. thanks

you put a deposit mike?
there are actually a lot of condos to choose from. you should have contacted the seller thereafter. there are actually marketing agents in the US, probably some in SF area where the Flips are. But not all developers have intl marketing arms. To name a few, theres Megaworld, Philtown and Rockwell who sells their condos in the US and Australia.

Yeah, I put a deposit and have made a few payments already! It's a one bedroom in Tower 2 on the 30th floor. I don't know the sq. footage off hand, I'd have to go look in my brochure. There's the property office in City Walk, they also have the models there. I delt with Henry Gomez from Megaworld, young dude, real nice guy. It was P4.2 million total without a parking spot, about $75,000.00 or so. It was $500.00 (P25,000.00) to hold and about $480.00 a month with a balloon payment of about $4200.00 every ten months, first one is due this Dec. The higher you go by floor the more expensive it is, but not by much. They've already told me prices have gone up.

What caught my eye was that it was really a nice place, restaurants, movie theaters, a mall are just out the door. Good area to be in and pretty central within Manila. The airport is just down the road on the C5. I stayed in the Dusit in Makati and the Holiday Inn Galleria in Ortigas while I was there, they were nice hotels but I just thought "What if I had a room to always stay in when I visited the PI?" Not just for me, but my family or any of my friends that go there. It would have it's own kitchen and living room. The only thing is that the condos don't come with hot running water! You have to provide your own heater.

I don't like the new Towers too much. Some of the exclusivity is gone. Being in the center of Eastwood and in two of the tallest buildings had it's appeal. Now it looks crowded and it blocks part of my view!

Sorry for the long post!

Mike,

Sounds like you did your research. I'm no expert, but I think your price range is about right.

Another success story from an expat. Great to hear that confidence with our Inang Bayan is slowing returning. Congrats.

just feel free to post Mike.
the truth is...Eastwood is quite farther from the Airport than Makati or Fort Bonifacio. But its a nice place anyway. Tho i think itd really be a crowded place in the future. So you must be talking about Eastwood Parkview? Construction has broke ground since April I guess. Im too lazy to read the first few posts.
Nway, there's one thing you should keep in mind dude...Whenever the building is done, don't forget to bring us up there, so we could sneak thru and have a real nice view of Metro Manila. Its pretty close to Ortigas and its got a nice view of the place from Eastwood. :D Hehe...
For me TSP of 4 million is quite expensive. Unless its too luxurious.
There are cheaper Fort Boni condos with easy payment schemes.
But hey, its a water under the bridge.
So, be it. I think itd be worth it anyway. Share us some photos up there when its done. :D

Is C-5 a work in progress? Natanong ko lang kasi last Feb when I was there, it went to heavily traveled side streets in Taguiig, I think (coming from Ayala, we went to C-5 and there, we got into congestion). Or is it going to ba a main thoroughfare like EDSA? If it is the latter, then malapit lang nga ang Eastwood kung matapos ang C5.

Thanks for the friendly welcome. I stumbled on this board looking for updates on Eastwood. I had no idea there was a forum where they talked about projects in the PI.

My trip back to the PI in Feb was my first in about 20 years. My dad was stationed at Clark and we lived there for 4 years from 1980-1984.

The C5 seemed to be less traffic than EDSA and it looked like a better way to get to the airport. It looked like they were still working on it, I saw some off-ramp they built over where some squatters used to be.

In retrospect I wish I had gotten a two bedroom. P4M is pretty expensive, but considering the housing market here in California it's a pretty good deal. It's no-interest and it'll be paid off when it's done in four years. Once the place is finished in 2008, the value of it could double, just like some of the surrounding condos. The price of a one bedroom in Central Park is already P1 million more than what I paid. A friend of mine has a two bedroom in Olympic Heights and she said her place has definetly doubled in price. Some of the other condos I saw in other areas while I was over there don't have the kind of stucture around them, eg. City Walk, even though they're alot cheaper and definetly bigger. I'm sure i could've gotten a house in some the places outside of Manila for what I'm paying.

that's alryt Mike. I think its a good buy after all. But I should have suggested Fort Boni condo e.g. 5th avenue place or SOMA which will be turned over after 3 years.
you're most welcome here. Pls do the lurking often. WE learn from you and you learn from us. Hehe...

btw, i haven't been to C-5 lately. And yes, its not as congested as EDSA, but its not quite safe to go thru it at late night...or you can have your tires deflated on the middle of the hi-way. nway, hopefully we can get rid of those squatters. or have them moved somewhere else. quite ironic to have fort boni on one side and squatter area on the other side.

C-5 should be turned into some kind of closed road, so traveling through it would be faster. im thinking of something like a tollway, minus the tolll. a freeway :D

GreyX, do you know which one is Tower 1? Is that the one closest to Citywalk?

Tower One will be the first one to be built? :D

GreyX, do you know which one is Tower 1? Is that the one closest to Citywalk?

I'm guessing, yes. At least from the renderings. I dont know much about Eastwood, sorry:D

Parkview 2 is the one next to citywalk. It will be amazing to see them sell Parkview 1&2, together with One Central 1&2. The cost is almost the same for all 4 of them.

Truly though, for expats, this is a great place to own a unit, kasi almost all amenities and gigs are walking distance away. No need to rent a car or van &/or driver.

Eastwood though, from my point of view, is poorly designed. there's little gaps between skyscrapers, and unlike Ayala Ave, it's not really on a straight line.. Eastwood Parkview 1 & 2 actually looked nice before One and Two Central Park came. it's like blue-tinted glass, high rise skyscrapers squatting in your own lot:D

update on this one :)? unfortunately Eastwood's website only shows the crap scrapers and One Orchid Road

My cousin visited Eastwood last week and said they are already doing construction on Parkview 1. They are ahead of the schedule.

renell - it's orchard road, not orchid road.

pffftt :D whatever it's called. it's not that special to be perfectly remembered :tongue2:

updates from the Eastwood website.

We are pleased to inform you that as of 05 October 2004, the project is 9% completed. Diaphragm wall side protection and excavation have been completed. Tower 1 foundation works have been completed while concreting is presently at B2 and B1 level. Tower 2 foundation is being prepared for rebar works.

http://www.eastwood-properties.com/_data/progress/ACFFiIpzN.jpg

Eastwood must look like one big huge legoland then at the moment:D

looking forward as to how this one will look like, compared to the rendering

wonder how they prevent that from turning into a huge pond or a lake

they have a machine that sucks the water out whenever it rains...

looks like this big hole will be the site of the two Parkviews, the two centrals, all on top of the podium mall. They better make this foundation one strong foundation, for it will be supporting 4 buildings.

btw, I am very very close to buy a Parkview 2 studion. For a balikbayan without an access to transpo, a city within a city is a very good concept.

though akaflores, Eastwood City is pretty far from the other developments and hang-out spots.. e.g Makati CBD, Rockwell, Malate, Ortigas. living so far out in MM, i think a car would be necessary. Eastwood might be a city in a city, but it is only that big. that's my 2 cents

thanks renell for a gr8 point. In retrospect, even if you live in Makati CBD, one would still need a car to go to Rockwell, Malate or Ortigas unless you plane to take public transpo.

My point is if you don't have a car available that day, you would have plenty to do/see and would have most, if not all, the neccessities and amenities one would need.

yeah that's true @second paragraph. i guess by 2008 Eastwood would be different from today. by that time there could be a shuttle service or public transpo to and from other areas of MM.

How many total residential condos are in that area?

I believe they have 2 or 3 roads going out of the main compound. But won't the rotonda be very congested, esp. during rush hour or gimik time?

there's heaps. hmm.. i dunno the exact count, but by the time all of it are done and occupied, there's gonna be more than 10.

Hey, they also have a free shuttle there, the Eastwood Free Shuttle Bus. It goes around the whole development, then... i'm not sure how far out it goes maybe up to C5 then back to Eastwood.

i was thinking more of a Eastwood-to other areas rather than just around Eastwood. the area does look walk-able

As of December...

http://www.eastwood-properties.com/_data/progress/parkview_03big.jpg

Wow...thanks for the update. Construction is in full swing and should be completed by their target date, good since this is one of the best looking Megaworld projects ever.

the crane looks small though, for such a large-scale construction work.

omg do I see Megaworld putting a slight curve in its building? :D

haha... unbelievable but true. :colgate:

Any updates on this project?

From Eastwood website, http://www.eastwood-properties.com/progress/index.cfm?action=property_details&id=15

We are pleased to inform you that as of 05 March 2005, the project is 14.3% completed. The diaphragm wall side protection and excavation as well as the site turnover foundation works have been completed. Both Tower 1 & 2, five level basement and ground floor works for superstructure are now being mobilized.

http://www.eastwood-properties.com/_data/progress/ACFI6j0wP.jpg

http://www.eastwood-properties.com/_data/progress/ACFOyJ15f.jpg

Thanks for the update. It looks massive even if it hasn't reached ground level yet.

:master: praise the lord, Megaworld has discovered the curve.

Cheers bong:)

I can imagine their architects discussing with the Megaworld guys...
"Ok, let me introduce you to my new discovery, presenting... tada! the curve. Take a closer look, again, this is what I call a curve and we could use it in our buildings." :colgate:

Thanks for the updates! Its quite a huge project.

I haven't seen the construction personally pero it looks like they are simultaneously building the 2 towers. Siguro foundation lang and up to the ground floor and then they will concentrate on Tower 1.

That might be the safest, most logical plan. Then again I am no engineer...

How about One and Two Central Park? Are they also building it?

isn't the foundation of the Parkviews and the Central Parks similar, which I believe the podium is a mall isn't it?

If I remember it right, the new mall will have department store. I wonder what department store will occupy part of it. Could be a Rustans, Gaisano, SM, Robinsons, Crossings or Landmark.

Reneel I think you are right. If so 4 birds with 1 stone, ika nga.

I heard that it will be Rustans or Robinsons...im not sure tho.

CONSTRUCTION REPORT AS OF 06 APRIL 2005

We are pleased to inform you that as of 06 April 2005, the project is 15.7% completed. The diaphragm wall side protection and excavation as well as the site turnover for the foundation works of Tower 3 & 4 have been completed. Both Tower 1 & 2 have completed its five-level basement and ground floor for structural works.

Like you said in the One Central thread, the foundations for the mall could be much later on. Has there been any unveiling of the mall that was in the masterplan yet?

But..... how about this, what would be in this blank space in the middle?

http://www.eastwood-properties.com/_data/progress/ACFI6j0wP.jpg

If I recall well, the Parkview's are one each side of the mall.... could this be the mall, in the middle? or at least its small beginnings?

It's part of the mall. BTW, there's no unveiling of plans for the mall yet.

I'm hoping Eastwood's Central Park will be as lush as Greenbelt's.

new pics... this month's

http://www.eastwood-properties.com/_data/progress/parkviewbig_02.jpg

Thanks. Looks like the pace of the project is moderate, not fast like Shang but not slow like Residences:D

With 2 Central park being a hotel, one would think the 4-tower structure (PV 1 &2, CP1 and Eastwood Hotel) will be busier, especially if the mall is occupied by great stores.

I really don't know what to make of this news, aside from more traffic and congestion. anyone?

Renell,

I see you are residing in Australia. I hope you are investing in real estate & foreign currency there too, kasi I have read that real estate has been highly profitable.

Best of luck and sorry for the off topic.

I would if I could man;)

I reckon those Megaworld agents would have sweated a lot to get those people into buying those units, unless they're easily tricked the buyers:D.

I really think the Hotel would add more life (if not traffic :D) to Eastwood City.

I hope they have a parking solution with the construction of the mall, the Parkviews and the Central Parks.

The whole structure (Mall, Parkviews and Central Parks) will have underground parking.

That'll ease Eastwood traffic wouldn't it? What was it's parking lot before?

yeah.. they do have underground parking.... coz the last time I was in Eastwood... we were beside the construction area and they have dug the place very deeply... and I think it spanned the whole block where the Parviews will rise... and they should... since Eastwood is a very small community...

so is that.... they will have underground parking, or do they have underground parking in function at the moment?:? :D

I am sure they will have underground parking in function at the moment. Parking lots are big cash cows for there is very minimal overhead. Just 1time construction cost and the rest is just mere maintenance and cheap personnel. Combine that with condo owners buying a slot for them, Megaworld will be hauling profit.

I am sure there would be several underground floors of the parking, so truly the size of parking will increase by the # of floors.

fyi from their website, http://www.eastwood-properties.com/residential/dsp_parkview.html I am intrigued with their statement "100% sold"

The Eastwood Parkview is an elegant 40-storey glass-and-concrete twin tower nestled at the center of Eastwood City.

It overlooks a central park that echoes the warm, exuberant lines of the Miami architectural style – a rich landscape teeming with palm trees, shop houses of two to three-stories, and a lagoon.

The first four levels of Eastwood Parkview will be a highly-developed four-storey mall that reverberate with Italian, Moorish, and Southern Spanish themes.

It will feature a skylight illuminated central atrium, a department store, retail shops, four state-of-the-art cinemas, an electronic entertainment arcade and snack bars.

100% SOLD
TURNOVER DATE : TOWER 1 - MARCH 31, 2008
TOWER 2 - OCTOBER 31, 2008

these ones are supposedly from 6 may....

The diaphragm wall side protection and excavation as well as the site turnover for the foundation works of Tower 3 & 4 have been completed. Both Tower 1 & 2 have completed its five-level basement. Concreting of Tower 2 is at the second level for structural works.

Went to Eastwood today to check out Style Centrale... and to buy C2 Green Tea, at the Robinsons Supermarket there. :D
I found a really nice khaki jacket at Venetta in Style Centrale, and it's just a little over a thousand bucks.

Maligayang pagbati sa lahat galing sa isang bagito dito. Nawa mabuti ang inyong kalagayang.

Makikisuyo sana. Mayroon ba sa inyo na malapit sa Eastwood. Nakabili kasi ako ng condo sa Parkview at matagal tagal ding walang bagong larawan sa Eastwood progress website. Kung mayroon, paki kuha naman ng picture at i-post dito sa forum. Nasa ibang bansa kasi ako. Sinulatan ko rin ang Megaworld.

Maraming salamat.

Nice pics Thomasian/Dudz. It's good to see that Eastwood is starting to get denser with these new projects.

Thanks, but the pics are taken by Dudz.

how many months do we need to wait for this?

I don't know, Parkview I, Parkview II, One Central Park and Eastwood Park Hotel are all built on a single podium but they have different turnover dates.

I thought the Parkviews are in 2008, and the other two the hotel and the.. i forgot in... 2009

Sept. 21, 2005

sorry for the quality guys :D

^^ yah, still at Cybermall..

Good Monday morning. Thanks for the pix Rusty. Just confirming, the construction on the right is Parkview 1 and not 1 Central Park, correct?

It's Parkview, not OCP .

I don't know bout you guys but I don't like the lay out, masterplan and the architectural styles of EAstwood! :D Hahaha!

me too. all buildings look nice to me..! even Grand Eastwood Palazzo and Eastwood Excelsior, they have that classic look

I've only been to Eastwood city a couple of times. Nice place to hang out, pretty cool restaurants. It's cute and it's self-contained. But I thought the place was going to be a bit too crowded with all the condo projects.

You can only go around Eastwood so much and then you feel like your entrapped in this pretentious wanna-be world. Well, that's how I felt when I was there. It must have changed by now.

No, I still think it's a pretentious wanna-be world. i feel like I'm in a movie set when I'm there. All image, no substance. It reminded me of going to the New York New York casino in Las Vegas, knowing what a real New York is like.

i think it's because of the floor. it's like Enchanted Kingdom in the middle of busy QC

But if you get past that, there are things to do that are cool... and if you get bored in Eastwood, you can just go out onto Libis where there are some good restaurants and bars as well. It's a very good location.

Oh yes, this is what it felt like. I couldn't pinpoint it at first. It felt like a set from Universal Studios to me.

I like how Eastwood encourages you to take your pets to their malls:D

I like Eastwood, more dining options not only at the main city walk but also by the entrance. The best part of hanging out there you wouldn't choke on car fumes hehehe BUT you'll choke on contruction debris. Kidding aside its a relaxing place to hang out. Cafes, restaurants, bars... in a nice well kept setting.

Libis E. Rodriguez area other than Gerrys Grill I've seen some of the hang outs have closed down.

its climbing fast!

I don't know bout you guys but I don't like the lay out, masterplan and the architectural styles of EAstwood! :D Hahaha!

you're not alone, it looks very suspect to tons of traffic. But I guess that's why they made it look claustrophobic, to make people walk. It seems to be successful, because a lot of the buyers don't care about the paint of the buildings, how it is positioned and other things we in SSC phils complain about. :D

Parkview "Podium Mall" is shaping up !:D

Wow, I so can't wait for this ...and they still don't have a name for the mall.

when is the target opening again of the podium mall?

by the way, if you check out Eastwood's masterplan, there is a vacant lot right across LaFayette which happens to be this:
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/cebupics2/eastwood/x_eastwood05.jpg

this structure i think is the BPO bldg which they announced earlier. any idea how tall this is gonna be?

That could be 1880 Eastwood Avenue.
Phase one would be a 10-storey building having 35,000 sq.m. of office space targeted for call centers.
The second phase would add another 10 storey tower, also of 35,000 sq.m. office space.

The site-development plan, released for EPH, shows only one tower.
http://www.eastwood-properties.com/residential/plans/eph_site_dev.jpg

The earlier site-development plan, released for OCP, shows two towers.
http://www.eastwood-properties.com/residential/plans/ocp_site_dev.jpg

i think its better to build just one tower. that area is way too crowded na. can't they just finish CyberTwo and CyberThree? coz they're just wasting time and space.

Cyber Two and Three will be built where the "Customer Care Center" building now stands. It is located at the upper-left corner of this Site Dev't Plan.

Nuh huh...i still see two towers in the new plan.;)


the 1880 bldg is at the lower-right, grey box. :) if they plan to proceed buildingg the 2nd 1880 office tower, its gonna be at the opposite side where the green vacant lot is.

Yeah, the final Site Plan shows only one 1880.

http://www.eastwood-properties.com/residential/plans/eph_site_dev.jpg

The second 1880 will be built on the last remaining piece of greeneery :( in that plan.

Hi, sorry guys im just new here at this forum. Just want to find out if anyone has "bad" experience in dealing with Eastwood property holdings personnel? I recently bought a unit from this marketing arm of Megaworld, they are not so friendly people, actually not at all.. especially the agents. Can anyone advice me on how to handle such situation?? They are giving me hard times, ggrrr..

really? who is your agent? my second agent "inherited" me when my original agent migrated to CA. he is friendly and more accomodating than she ever was. maybe i can refer you to my agent if you want.

How i wish I have a gud agent. Dont know if I can still change my agent since I am already starting my monthly payment. She never gave me updates, e.g. on the Contract to sell, etc... haaaayyy... :rant:

I have great story with my agent and Megaworld in general. Call/email Mr. Francisco at mrfrancisco@megaworld.com 8678826 ext. 357. Good luck.

woah... that is fast.. but i heard, most of the condo's in Eastwood are unoccupied. is that right???

hmm... that's not good news is it then. Eastwood is basically a glut of condominiums.

Though this one is set to become, at least architecturally the most successful of Eastwood condominiums.

Thanks, Rusty. I agree with AKAFlorestoo. Mega is so slow in updating their website (but quick to collect your payment). Their info has not been updated since Sept 05. Yup I am paying for a unit at palazzo - the michaeangelo side. Thanks again.

Hv a gr8 weekend.

@ AkafloresToo - Really sorry, no pics from me yet.

the ones behind the parking building of eastwood 2. i heard that the call center there moved somewhere.

ey rocky, are you referring to C-cubed call center beside CyberOne? its good to know they're moving out. i think the site where C-cube is situated will be CyberTwo and CyberThree's future site, basing on Eastwood's masterplan layout. :okay:

bro i'll try taking photos of Palazzo tomorrow after school :D

^ Yes, it is the future site of Cyber Two and Cyber Three.

hmm.. that podium of that mall and 4 building complex is quite tall..

@ rusty and thomasian yup the project which was supposed to begin last year was delayed. but it seems that everything is a go.

^^as promised, i took photos of parkview, palazzo and future site of cyber two and three :D i'm still uploading it, stay tuned ;)

^ Yes, it is the future site of Cyber Two and Cyber Three.

C-Cube call center has moved to HTMT Cyberpark, Libis. I do not know where this is. i assume it's just a few blocks from Eastwood. took these photos earlier today.

great pictures.

thanks Rusty for sharing the pix. You are great, anything and everything but rusty :-)

Anxiously waiting for the parkview pix. salamat ulit.

@ rusty and thomasian, htmt is the new name of c cube. it's been bought by an indian company. i understand that one of their accounts is still in the old site. the new site btw is near red ribbon, in front of the overpass along libis. it's a huffing distance from eastwood.

^^howd u know all these stuff bro? thanks for the info! interesting. is it right to say CyberTwo building could have been built by now if only C-Cube didn't occupy the office space? :dunno:

@Akaflores. thanks! darn, i can't find the other shots including Parkview. i'm so sorry. will take another shot asap. promise! :D

i got friends in the area. it would be safe to say that they could have started building on the site around the last quarter of 05. c cube was supposed to move out in dec but did not until last month. i think there are still some people working there though

btw, is the tall one parkview 1 and the short one under construction parkview 2? i would appreciate clarification for i am one of those investors of pv2.

salamat ulit.

rusty, what's the construction at the middle of your last photo? i was there before and i can't figure out what the structure will turn out to be.

so many constructions at Eastwood. the first and last time i went there i lost my 256 MB memory card. together with my Sony batteries. :(

^^ It's 1880 Eastwood. An office building targeting call center operators.

Haha, buti may karamay ako, kasi nawalan na din ako ng memory card.

Thanks rusty! Nice to see its well underway...what floor is it at?

not a prob akaflores ;) i could have made updates earlier. by the way, what you're seeing is only the parkview tower I. its curvy and edgy design makes it look two separate structures in certain angles. as of now, i'm afraid they have yet to start working on tower II. may i know when the pvII's turnover?

@francis20 yeah that's 1880 Eastwood building for BPO and call center companies. i heard thru the grapevine it's already fully booked. :?

@greyx: 24th level :) 16 floors to go. whoa, this is quite tall huh. :cool:

thx. for the info bro. pk2's expected turnover is mid to late 2008. And since they share the same podium, I guess pk2 has already started when pv1 went up.

again salamt and hope for more updates.

from eastwood website:

We are pleased to inform you that as of 21 March 2006, the project is 35.0% completed. Advanced foundation had completed the diaphragm wall side protection and excavation. The 5-basement of the 4 towers are now completed while the 4 level podium is partially completed. Concreting of Tower 1 and 2 is at the twenty-fourth and fifth level for structural works.

^^thanks for that AKAFlores :) Tower I is at 24th while your Tower 2 is at the 5th level na. sounds right on schedule. :D

wow pau, very nice pix and best location to get a snapshot of the construction. I am assuming the first pix is the Cyber bldg and the 2nd is the shared podium of the Parkview/1 Central.

Thanks and have a great Easter to you and all.

I have a unit in Tower 2 that I've been making payments on since March 2002. I've made a few balloon payments already (every 10 months) and another one is coming up soon.

Here's my thing: I'm tired of paying and waiting. I've got so much invested in this and I've been making my payments on time and everything, but I could use this money! I know if I wait, finish paying this sucker off, and sell it soon after turnover, I could probably make a little more money for my investment. But, man, October 2008 just seems too long to wait!

What are some of my options to opt out now? Is there a way I could "sell" my stake in the condo? Even with all the money I put in already? Any ideas?

Thanks people!

resale on a presell...hmmm. I am not sure you can do that for you still don't officially own it, unless you paid for it in full. Again this is just speculation. I am sure the scf experts here can answer this more accurately.

Some developers have added restrictions to sales contracts to stop buyers from reselling units until it has finished selling all of the units at the project. I guess your only option is to transfer the 'Contract to sell' to another interested party and lose your deposit and perhaps some of your payments, as the other party who will be interested in this kind of deal is someone who is after a bargain. Yes it is possible but can get a bit more complicated and costly. And with the oversupply of new and used condos(and even pre-sell) there is no more guarantee of any profit on your 'investment'. :)

wow pau, very nice pix and best location to get a snapshot of the construction. I am assuming the first pix is the Cyber bldg and the 2nd is the shared podium of the Parkview/1 Central.

Thanks and have a great Easter to you and all.

so what's this Cyber Building all about? do we have a separate thread about it? is it office/residential? :cheers:

the "Cyber building" that he's talking about is actually the "1880 Eastwood Ave".

anong mayrun sa 1880 Eastwood Ave? parang call centers din ba?

^^ Yes, mostly call centers, and IT companies, obviously because Eastwood is classified by PEZA as an IT Zone which offers tax holidays and other perks to IT locators.

ah ok, thanks kuya, eh panu yung small building sa gilid ng Eastwood, the one beside the mall, near megaworld ata, yung parang call centers din? Part ba yun ng Eastwood?

^^ Ah yun bang nasa gitna ng Cyber One Tower (which most people thought is named as Megaworld, mali!) where the Cybermall is and between the parking entrance ramp of City Walk 2 ? Dun itatayo yung Cyber Two at Cyber Three. ;)

Anyway, from the Eastwood website, May 19...

http://www.eastwood-properties.com/_data/progress/big6.jpg

Anyone know when the Eastwood Parkview Towers started preselling their units? Please reply.

I don't have a hard date but I bought mine Sept. 04.

dudz, that's eastwood parkview right? i'm really confused about these projects at Eastwood. is anyone so kind to please educate me :(

dudz' photo is Eastwood Central? Bacause what i remember about Eastwood Parkview towers are two separate towers sharing a common podium.

cyber one and two will be constructed where C3/htmt used to occupy?

thanks a lot guys!

aaron, anong memory card nawala sayo? akin kasi memo pro. ok lang sana kun yung ordinary lang. :(

rusty, thanks for all information you've been sharing with us.
i'm now clear about 1880, cyber 2 and 3.

^^same here, francis. not that very familiar either. but i'm sure that's eastwood parkview, maybe tower 1. i think they're not building both towers at the same time. and i just based the photo from the renderings and the posted photo updates. maybe those familiar with this place can enlighten us. calling aaron or rusty :)

@francis20 you're welcome :)

took this last week from marikina riverbanks...

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y91/imagesaver1206/san%20juan%20and%20qc/2417d73c.jpg

yes master dudz, that's eastwood parkview tower 1 (too bad i missed to check out which floor they're working on). tower 2 will rise behind that structure. right now, it's 7 or 8 storeys tall na (tower 2). :D if i'm not mistaken, towers 1&2 are 40 storeys high. these are really nice looking buildings. pinaka modern of all within eastwood. :cool:

hi thanks rusty for the clarification. by the way,i posted some of my BSA Twin shots at Ortigas Thread. You might want to check them out. I have more at imagestation. :)

thanks rusty :). yeah they're nice looking. the shape is very interesting and i think they will have more glass.

Francis, Dudz pix is Parview 1 and rising behind it is Parkview2. They are the green S-shape duo building Kaya siguro you don't see the common podium kasi the pix is oriented to its side.

What I remember, next to it are 1 Central and the other the Hotel.

Hope this shed some light to the confusion.

Good Morning

baka naman you know an agent or may mga agent dito na pwede mag-send sa akin ng TCP? im very much interested in getting a unit here kasi.

lj.lubangco@gmail.com or contact me at 09225689955

thanks!

Hello,
Do you have information on the " marikina fault line " and is this close to eastwood parkview location? Is this bad?

machismo, didn't you get the tcp from my agent? If not, kindly contact/txt him again and I am sure he will provide you with one.

As for the fault line, it doesn't matter its proximity. Kung lilindol , lahat ng Metro Manila apektado.

Thanks! aka Flores. I was just wondering since I invested in eastwood and got nervous when someone told me about the fault line.

Berting

Hello,
Do you have information on the " marikina fault line " and is this close to eastwood parkview location? Is this bad? Berting, There is an Earthquake Study Thread buried in the Economy, Industry, and Development Section which you can check out. Gaya nga ng sabi ni Akaflores, it doesn't matter its proximity kasi kung lilindol lahat ng Metro Manila apektado. Anyway hope this helps.

thanks for the good infos 3CR. I too will return to RP 6 years from now and got a house already waiting. I finally got enticed into buying a condo at eastwood and was just finding out more infos about the place. Nice to know there are people like you that are willing to help. Now, I just dont know if I could stay for good since I heard from friends who stayed in RP that they got bored after a year and went back to the states.

^^ Uy thanks for the kind words Berting and you're also very much welcome as well. Just glad to be of help whenever possible. Yup I'm headed back to Manila malamang first quarter of 2007, mauuna lang ako sa iyo ng konti. Wow you must really be seriously committed to going back for good na kung house and lot na ang pinag-uusapan at tapos meron ka pang condo investment sa Eastwood. Very nice realeastate portfolio you got there bro. Congrats on both respect, that's a great accomplishment indeed! As for me, I'm genuinely excited to go back home, though I'm still quite unsure and uncommitted pa with the idea of living in the Philippines permanently which was why I opted for a condo muna for now. Anyway I'm still single pa naman so I felt condo living is better suited for my lifestyle at the moment. Naku sana naman You and I won't get bored living in Pinas after a year like your friends did; infact, I'm actually hoping we'll end up really liking it there enough to stay na for the long term. Guess we'll just have to see what the future brings. For sure I'll keep my fingers crossed! Best of luck to us! Hehehe... :)

Good morning. baka puedeng umirit ng picture update sa mga ppl near Eastwood. Paki kodak naman ng construction :-)

I have emailed Megaworld and complained about their poor website update. Sana it doesn't fall on deaf ears.

sorry kung madilim, bad weather kasi... :D

it has been know for a while but now they have named the mall and gave an estimated date of completion.

From BusinessWorld:

New mall expands leisure options at Eastwood City
Megaworld Corp. is fast-tracking the development of a new mall to add to Eastwood City’s list of attractions.

"Eastwood City Mall offers Eastwood City residents and habitués a new level of enjoyment," says Kevin Tan, Megaworld retail property division head for commercial operations. "It features new dining and retail concepts never seen before in other malls."

Offering a gross leasable area of 45,000 square meters, the four-story Eastwood City Mall will host about 250 retail and leisure outlets. Aside from an impressive array of specialty stores and high-end boutiques, it will feature three cinemas and a video arcade. Tenancy for the new mall was opened in August.

Eastwood City Mall links three of Eastwood City’s upscale condominium addresses -- Eastwood Parkview, One Central Park and Eastwood Park Hotel and Residential Suites -- at the podium levels. It is slated for completion by the third quarter of 2007.

For the convenience of guests, Megaworld will connect Eastwood City Mall to City Walk 2 via a bridgeway. City Walk 2 is one of Eastwood City’s popular leisure strips, and is located right next to City Walk 1, also a famous destination for the hip set. There are currently 118 commercial establishments at City Walk 1 and 2.

Equally accessible from Eastwood City Mall is the Eastwood Cyber & Fashion Mall, located at the podium of the Cyber One building. The former IT and electronics mall is now a shopping destination that hosts fashion boutiques, specialty stores, service stations and fastfood outlets.

Aside from the three condominium projects standing above it, Eastwood City Mall is a stone’s throw away from other residential and office developments within Eastwood City. Nearby are three complete residential projects that exemplify Eastwood City’s modern lifestyle: Olympic Heights, Eastwood Lafayette and Eastwood Excelsior.

From the new mall, the Eastwood City CyberPark, the country’s first-ever IT park, is within easy reach by foot. It is home to IBM Plaza, Citibank Square, Cyber One, TechnoPlaza One, Epixtar House and the International Centre for Information Technology Education.

Mayroon bang Parkview owners dito?

Ang anak ko po nagtratrabaho sa isang call center dito. Inaalok niya akong bumili dito sa Eastwood. Ano sa palagay ninyo? Maigi bang bumili dito sa lugar na ito?

Isa pa ho, mayroon po ba kayong mga bagong litrato, kasi ang website nila medyo may kalumaan.

Manong Piping

Any picture updates?

Eh bakit naman hindi? Maganda ang lokasyon, buhay na buhay at animo'y hindi natutulog ang lugar na ito dala na rin ng mga lugar sayawan saka restawran na nagkalat dito. Halos kumpleto rin ang Siyudad Silangang Kahoy (Eastwood City :colgate:) dahil ito ay may paaralan (Informatics Eastwood), mga opisina at tanggapan, mga pook pamilihan (mall? hahaha), simbahan, tirahan sa mga matataas na gusali (condo? :D ), sinehan, silid palaruan (Q Powerstation arcade), mga lugar pang ehersisyo (Fitness First at Pinnacle Healthpointe), at halos lahat ng mga pasilidad na kailangan para sa moderno at makabagong pamumuhay.

Ipagpaumanhin nyo po ang kawalan ng mga bagong larawan.

Tama ka Manong Tomasino. Bagamat maraming ibang lugar na kinikilalang mas maganda tulad ng Global City, ang Eastwood City ay malaking mura para sa mga karamihan. At habang mayroon opisina dito, siguradong matagal pa itong mawawala sa kasikatan.

^^ Nope, I'm sure it will still be very much appreciated by unit-owners here.

Very true @thomasian
If you're 7,400 miles away, it feels great to see anything about the area.

That DELL building is the uber-eclectic 1880 Eastwood Avenue bldg. that has different designs for each corner and side.

How colorful can you get?!?!?!

^^ imo that DELL building is a bit of an acquired taste.

Kiben/Isaganizenze, thanks for the pictures. You just don't know how much I appreciate these pictures, since Megaworld don't have the courtesy to update their website with new pictures.

OT.. kagabi, before kami manood ng 300, (3 hours bago yung movie, lang magawa...) :)

:lol: in that case a tiny black dot.

thanks for the updates, everyone.:okay:

Thanks Thomasian for the pics. And thanks all for the update.

Matanong ko lang. The topped-off tower must be Parkview 1. Would Citiwalk 1 be at the side as Parkview 1 and Citiwalk 2 be on the same side of Parkview 2? Can someone familiar with Libis clarify?

Maraming salamat ulit.

^^ Topped-off = Parkview 1.

On the left side of Parkview 1 = One Orchard Road Towers and Olympic Heights Towers

On the right side of Parkview 2 = on the eastern side Eastwood City Walk 1, on the western side Eastwood City Walk 2

Thanks for your response Thomasian.

these towers look way thinner than their renders...

^^ The buildings are just right for me. :cheers:

Condos in Eastwood are already covered in soot and the condo owners use their balcony railing to dry clothes.:ohno:

^^ Aren't there association rules/regulations for that??

That definitely would not look good for the community... :ohno:

I'm not a condo owner there but from what I have seen on E. Rodriguez side of the road, clothes were drying outside and the buildings look dirty.

^^ Very similar to Hong Kong Condos especially on the Kowloon side. Megaworld should put a stop at such eyesores since it really diminishes the beauty of the place.

City of the future


For a glimpse of how millions of middle-class Asians could live in the future, take a look at Eastwood City, a self-contained office and apartment complex in Metro Manila. Its 9,000 inhabitants live in 40-story blocks, measure their commute in minutes, not hours, and never have to worry about power cuts or water stoppages. At $175,000 (roughly P8.5 million) for a 100-square-meter home, they pay 10% less than they would in central Manila. Reuters
