BATANGAS | Hamilo Coast [mix]

[bagumbayani]

Mine is actually a Myna so it will TO after the Jacanas. My agent said December but I really doubt that projection. Good thing I am not really in a hurry but I was told that the Myna contractor is different from the Jacana ones and the earlier works a lot faster than the Jacana builders.

Underwater discoveries at Hamilo Coast
October 28, 2009, 4:21pm
Manila Bulletin

Did you know that the Longfin Batfish (Platax teira), touted as a wraith-like and ghostly-looking fish, is quite personable, almost pet-like and are remarkably clever? This species can also become very tame, sometimes eager to feed from divers’ fingers.

The Longfin Batfish is just one of the surprising finds that divers can discover in the waters of SM Land’s premier sustainable leisure destination, Hamilo Coast.

In this seaside leisure development, diving and snorkeling are popular activities for the whole family. Sprawled along the coastline of Nasugbu, Batangas, the 5,800-hectare property is home to coves that have been declared marine-protected areas (MPA) for the preservation and protection of various aquatic and terrestrial creatures.

Jose Angelo M. Palma, vice president for Programs of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)-Philippines, said they have conducted an initial baseline study two years ago to check the health of reefs and quality of marine life in the area and found out that the Pico de Loro, Santelmo, and Etayo coves have the most potential as MPAs because of their biological attributes.

Aside from the Longfin Batfish, residents and club members can meet other interesting “neighbors” in Hamilo Coast.

A remarkable species often sighted is the Spotfin Lionfish (Pterois antennata) – a solitary predator with a venomous sting used to hunt prey. It can be identified by the dark spots on its long pectoral fins.

The Melon Butterflyfish (Chaetodon trifasciatus) on the other hand is a dainty reef resident that feeds on coral polyps and is covered in pastel hues. This small and secretive variety swims in pairs and may be territorial and aggressive.

A shy, slow-moving armored fish, the Yellow boxfish (Ostracion cubicus) gets its name from the shape that its body mimics. It can expel a highly toxic poison as it feeds on algae, sponges, crustaceans and mollusks. Juveniles have a very bright yellow color which fades into blue-grey as they age.

Deeper explorations in Etayo Cove can yield chance encounters with such inhabitants like the Blue-green Chromis (Chromis viridis) – gregarious turquoise gems of fish that feed on free-flowing phytoplankton; and the Reticulated Damselfish (Dascyllus reticulatus) – scrappy and aggressive little jewels with vertical bars crisscrossing their flanks.

Clark’s Clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii), Hamilo Coast’s most frequently encountered clownfish, is often found within a few meters of their host anemone, while the Common Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) is one of the most recognizable after being popularized in the movie “Finding Nemo.”

Hamilo Coast’s maiden development features nine residential condominium clusters in Pico de Loro surrounding a man-made lagoon, designed with low impact to the environment. The centerpiece amenity of the community is the Pico de Loro Beach & Country Club, a members-only club that provides various water sports, underwater adventures and eco-friendly activities.

Wesley Caballa, senior manager for sports and recreation at Hamilo Coast, shares that the Pico de Loro Beach Club is now fully operational for residents and club owners. The Country Club component on the other hand is set for operation by first quarter of 2010.

Likewise, the first condominium building, Jacana, is set to progressively turn over units to residents.

Vacation time begins right now at Pico de Loro
By Tanya T. Lara (The Philippine Star) Updated October 31, 2009 12:00 AM


MANILA, Philippines - For many hardworking families and investors, their vacation is a mere 114 kilometers away from Manila and it doesn’t have to end when the long weekend is over.

Touted to be the country’s biggest and most impressive leisure destination being developed near Metro Manila, Hamilo Coast is a 5,800-hectare mountainous coastline enclave located in Nasugbu, Batangas. It has 13 unique coves, one of which is the 40-hectare Pico de Loro. With its nine mid-rise residential buildings, a four-hectare lagoon in the middle, a beach and country club and a boutique hotel, Pico de Loro provides a snapshot of what the future of Hamilo Coast will look like.

Seeing Pico de Loro now — lively and teeming with activities with club members, condo unit owners and the bustling Beach Club — it’s hard to imagine that before SM Land began developing the area, there was really nothing here — no roads, no electricity, no potable water.

That’s what impressed Jose Fernando B. Camus, chairman of Jones Lang LaSalle Leechiu, a financial and professional services firm specializing in real estate services and investment management. “We’re very familiar with developers in the Philippines and the projects they’re doing. We do research for them, we do appraisals, we do brokerage,” says Camus. “My family was looking for a place to go on weekends and I think this is the ideal place because we’re part of a development that’s 5,800 hectares in size. That’s mind-boggling! Knowing that it’s the SM Group behind it and that they have a name to protect convinced us this was right for us. Other resorts are beautiful, too, but there is no master planning so the amenities are not in place. This one had a master plan right from the very beginning.”

Alex Claveria, a businessman with a paint manufacturing and trading company with retail outlets, had the same reasons for buying into Pico de Loro. “I like the concept of the project. SM Land is a reputable developer that I can trust. I see it also as a very good investment that the whole family can enjoy.”

Claveria bought a one-bedroom unit which he is planning to upgrade into a two-bedroom unit. “I’m a simple man living a simple life with simple dreams. I’m the eldest in the family. I started to work early in my life and started my own business
at the age of 17 and have been in business all my life. The very reason why I got a unit at Pico de Loro is to enjoy my free time with my family.”

Claveria and his son are into diving and he says his wife, after she gives birth to their fifth child, also intends to take up diving. “The kids just love to spend the day in the beach especially when we go snorkeling. Hamilo Coast has the amenities that the whole family can enjoy, particularly the marina and 13 coves. I can already imagine myself diving with my eldest son in the morning and hiking or biking on the trails in the afternoon with my wife and other kids. We can practice our hoops on the basketball court, maybe also learn to play tennis or squash. In the evening my friends and the whole family can enjoy singing in one of the videoke rooms.”

Before buying a unit at Pico de Loro, Camus first looked at other developments, of course. After all, this is his second vacation home, as the family has a house in Tali Beach and he’s a member of Tagaytay Highlands. “I have 11 children and nine grandchildren. My children go to CamSur and other places to wakeboard and to surf.”

He likes that Pico de Loro is one of the three coves that are under marine protection — the other two are Santelmo and Etayo Coves — and regulate the use of motorized watercraft. “I wouldn’t want my grandchildren swimming in a place where there are people jetskiing because there have been accidents in other places. Pico de Loro has shallow waters, it’s perfect for swimming and snorkeling.”

For marketing consultant Ceferino Carreon, who holds a degree from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, his reasons for becoming a member of the Pico de Loro Beach & Country Club are not so much for himself but for his friends and business associates.

Carreon sits on the board of three lending companies — Integrity, Buena Vista and Diamond — and on the board of Valle Vista, a real estate company. He also plays serious bridge, competing out of the country three times a year as part of the national team and attending the Olympiad every four years. Apart from Hamilo Coast he is also a member of Tagaytay Highlands and Punta Fuego.

So, when his fellow bridge players from abroad or his business colleagues come over for a visit in the Philippines, he always takes them to Batangas for two or three days — first, they have breakfast at Antonio’s, then they spend the day doing water sports or just relaxing in Hamilo Coast. On the way back to Manila, they have steaks at Tagaytay Highlands.

“My underlying purpose in all this is to lift the Filipino image,” Carreon says. “We have a bad rap abroad. By bringing them to this place, I can show to them that if the Filipino puts his mind into creating, he can do world-class things. For them to be in the Philippines and not see this, I think it’s a crime,” Carreon says. “My guests are always impressed and shocked that there is such a development out here. They’re all scratching their heads wondering how SM could have brought all the equipment to develop such a place. It’s bewildering for you to see all this the first time.”

Worry-Free Leisure Living

With the completion of the Jacana condominium cluster this year, and the Myna cluster by first quarter of next year, club members can stay overnight because SM Land has withheld selling the ground-floor units while the planned hotel, Azurea, is still being constructed. SM Land project director Herbert Herrero says about 15 units on the ground floor of Jacana and Myna will be fully furnished and rented out to club members, and when the hotel is complete to sell the units.

According to Star C. Tuason, assistant vice president for property management of Hamilo Coast, most of the Jacana homeowners are end-users themselves and bought units because they were attracted to the whole property’s proposition — a master-planned leisure community, not just a resort, that’s near enough Metro Manila and carries all the modern conveniences of city living, yet far and exclusive enough to be actually away from it all.

“We expect that most of them will be here on weekends because they want to spend family time and enjoy the facilities of Hamilo Coast,” Tuason says. The facilities include the Pico de Loro Beach Club, which soft-launched last February, featuring a restaurant and bar, a swimming pool, locker rooms, spa, and the beach, of course. Being developed is the four-hectare saltwater lagoon whose promenade connects the condominium clusters, and the three-hectare Pico de Loro Country Club with its indoor and outdoor sports facilities for tennis, basketball and badminton, a fitness center, meeting and banquet facilities, and Olympic-size swimming pool. The Country Club will be completed by yearend.

Tuason says that homeowners also looked at the property management plans since most of them will be here only on the weekend or, for those based abroad, only certain months of the year.

“Property management is professionally managing the operations of the condominiums both administratively and technically,” he explains. “To prepare for the handover we put in place the systems and procedures necessary to make it convenient for the homeowners to just move into their units. We came up with a list of requirements we needed to prepare so their expectations are realized, like we made sure all the utilities are working: water, power, cable TV, Internet, and telephone systems. We ensured that the security is in place. On the engineering side, in preparation of the handover, we went through the units one by one, doing testing and commissioning, like the outlets we made sure there’s power so that when they plug their coffeemakers it would work, or that there’s WiFi so if they wanted to work in their units or at the Beach Club they are connected to the Internet. That’s what property management is all about.”

Concierge services, which include maintaining the units and even filing the property tax, are also in the plans and this is especially crucial for foreign investors and Filipinos based abroad as it allows them to lock up and go — even for several months.

A Mindful Master-Plan

Herrero further explains that from the start, the master plan took into account the impact of developing the area on the environment and respected the lay of the land. Roads were built, water and power systems were installed, and the architecture and design of the condominium clusters went through several stages. They also partnered with World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF-Philippines) to safeguard the natural resources of the environment.

SM Land architect and assistant vice president for projects Anna Cabe explains that it was like building a new town. “We had to find the right plan to suit the environment. The master plan for Pico de Loro was by CIML, a joint venture of Cadiz International and ML Design based in Brisbane, Australia. You see in the design some Australian influences like the rooflines. It’s far from what we see in the resorts here, which are usually Balinese or Mediterranean style. It’s more contemporary. We went through many phases of design, too. Initially we considered the Mediterranean and Filipino themes, but when we got Cadiz and ML design, they introduced the Australian way of design, which is also sensitive to the sustainability efforts — and the keyword here is sustainability. Australia is the forerunner in sustainability efforts in the world.”

Jacana and Myna units launched with basic studio loft units going up to 200 square meters for a three-bedroom unit. All units have a 3.1-meter ceiling and views of the forests or the manmade lake.

She explains that the architects kept the Jacana interiors and finishes of top-quality and contemporary in styling, and flexible enough to suit the different styles of homeowners and that the buildings are on the coastline. “We used homogenous tiles, which are better than ceramic because the material is not just a coating like ceramic tiles, so it doesn’t peel off and it maintains its luster.”

A basic off-white palette was used with accents of dark wood in the modular kitchen cabinets imported from Austria and the doors, while bathroom fixtures are contemporary in style with countertop porcelain sinks and rainshowers.

“We still leave something to the imagination of the unit owners,” she says.

For those who missed the opportunity to own a weekend home at Jacana and Myna, one- to three-bedroom units at the Carola and Miranda clusters are now available for future residents of Pico de Loro.

The turnover of the Jacana units is just the exciting start of an enviable vacation lifestyle for the homeowners. And there’s still so much to look forward to in the coming years.

Mukhang bigatin ang future neighbors ko ha? Very impressive ang kanilang mga credentials. Yung isa naka kuha na ng one bedroom and then wants to upgrade to two bedroom? Akala ko ba sold out na yan Jacana at Myna. How can he do that?

Pending price increase from 5% (Miranda and Carola) to as high as 10% (Jacana and Myna) on Nov 16, 2009.

Parang malabong mangyari na magiging affordable ito for ordinary pinoy families. As what Aziza1121 reported another price increase effective Nov 16, 2009. Lalong tataas ang presyo nito. Thanks Aziza for the latest Pico De loro pictures. Hamilo Coast website construction update is August 2009 your is November 12, 2009.

[Aziza1121]

Thanks almycha. My pleasure. After visiting the site (as a seller, initially), now Im contemplating to buy club share! Tama ka, ang ganda nga ng place. Though the long travel time was a turned off for me, the ferry plan made me excited. Sosyal ang dating! Para ka na ring may yacht, di ba? It will really make Hamilo very accessible compared to Punta Fuego, and other projects with same concept. Im really looking forward sa ferry plan na yan.

As an investment, do you think the club shares will double in 2years' time? Need input here, anyone, especially for those who have Tagaytay Highlands club membership share. Thanks!

When we purchased a unit, club membership is included in the total price of the condo. Condo price here is comparable to our small condo unit at Forbeswood heights and the only difference is Club Membership.

I don't think the Club share will double in two years. Meaning from 500,000 pesos today to 1M in two years. The only possibility that the Club shares will double is if ever they will construct a GOLF COURSE and club share members become automatic members of the Golf Club.

It will really nice to see a Beach Club, Club House and Golf Club all in one location.

Thanks for your input, almycha. Like you, Im a Fort Boni investor. I have this idea kc that since FB will be part of medical tourism of SLMC-Global, I can bundle my FB unit for rent to SLMC patients (my tenants) with my Hamilo's investment (if ever). They will be charged for it, of course. One plus factor is the ferry cruise going to the site. No long road travel, so no reason for them not to take the opportunity to visit Hamilo. Im sure they will enjoy it. Most patients naman are in for a 5-day checkup lang. But these patients are all-year-round visitors of SLMC. Walang season-season. I know bec I live near SLMC-QC and did my research on this.

And yes, there is actually a plan of putting a GOLF COURSE.

Yes, para nde naman sayang ang membership. May ROI kahit papano, habang naghihintay ng appreciation.

There is Azurea Hotel for club members, non-unit owners. TurnOver date is 2011. 1BR is 45sqm FA. But I heard that some condo units will be for daily rent also, to be managed by CBRE. At least here, you can cook. Sa hotel, walang cooking facility.

Aside from the GOLF COURSE, another tentative plan is a wakeboarding site twice the size of CamSur.

[Go Global]

How come I don't see this golf course in the masterplan ??

SMDC wants Hamilo Coast to be as prestigious as its Highlands. Kaya nga don't expect the price to come down. Instead expect it to continue to increase.

[bagumbayani]

I was also told that there is a planned golf course at Hamilo Coast.
