SM Marines



The development is mainly composed of different zones, namely; residential, commercial, office and social networks. The idea is to promote an organized community and provide good skyline for the entire property. The placement of each zone and formation of block enhances human and vehicular traffic, which increases productivity of spaces toward social and economic aspects, through provision of view corridors and green social networks. The analysis of spatial qualities of this community has leaned toward an economically and environmentally sustainable approach, which would definitely benefit all its users.

Moreover, the property would be easily seen and identified with strategic placement of structures that equips the development an immediate way finding device through well placed pedestrian and road networks, which could easily direct visitors to different places.

Other than the idea of introducing contemporary designed buildings in the area, the project has also incorporated design concepts that provide balance in function and creativity. Social areas were located in between major blocks, identified with green spaces with artistically rendered elements, which is meant to uplift human body and mind to increase population’s productivity. A strip of commercial establishments were placed along Major street for its marketability and introduction of activity and interest in the area. The increase of population benefiting from these establishments boosts business competence in the area and promotes better lives for people.

Hanwha E&C to build world’s largest domed arena near Manila

Korean builder strives to become one of the world’s 100 largest construction firms

Hanwha Engineering and Construction Corp. began work on the world’s largest domed arena in the Philippines on Thursday.

The work for the $175 million contract, signed on Aug. 4, got underway in a ceremony attended by Hanwha E&C officials including vice chairman Kim Hyun-chung and those from the Filipino Christian organization Iglesia Ni Cristo that issued the contract.

The facility located near Manila, named the Philippine Arena, will be fitted with 50,000 seats and its domed roof will be nearly 36,000 square meters, making it the world’s largest domed arena, the company said.

Hanwha E&C said that the work will be carried out over 30 months to be finished early 2014.

“By winning this contract for building the world’s largest dome arena, the company was able to prove its technological capabilities and the ability to carry out overseas projects,” Kim said in a statement. The company said that in the biddings for the contract, it competed with China’s Jiangsu International and the Philippines’ largest construction company EEI Corp. The project will be conducted in design-build process in which the contractor is responsible for all related processes from designing to building the facility, the company said.

“As the bridgehead for the Southeast Asian market, the project is expected to bring opportunities for more civil engineering and construction projects in the region.”

The project opens a new market for Hanwha E&C, which has focused mostly on the Middle Eastern markets, as it drives to become one of the world’s 100 largest construction companies.

Earlier this year Hanwha Engineering and Construction announced plans to become one of the world’s top 100 builders by 2015 with an annual sales figure of 5 trillion won ($4.65 billion), and win contracts worth 7 trillion won in that year.

The plans also revealed that the company will diversify its overseas portfolio to include civil engineering projects, and to expand into solar power and other renewable energy businesses.

Also as part of the plans, the company hopes to expand its overseas generated income by more than 20 percent each year with the aim of raising 40 percent of its annual revenues from overseas sources by 2015.

In the Middle East, Hanwha E&C has made significant headway this year, winning a series of contracts including an urban development project in Iraq.

The contract, issued by Iraq’s National Investment Commission, is valued at $7.25 billion, making it the largest overseas construction project to be won by a Korean construction firm.

Under the contract, Hanwha Engineering and Construction will build a planned town at a location 25 kilometers east of central Baghdad. The town will be built over an area of 1,830 hectares and contain 100,000 new homes, the company said.

One of my students is an official of Hanwha and he was the one who told me about this project. He actually attended the groundbreaking.

Manila ranked worst property investment site in Asia
By Abigail L. Ho in Manila/Philippine Daily Inquirer

Manila (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - Foreign investors looking to invest in real estate-related businesses have ranked Manila as their last choice among various key cities in the Asia-Pacific.

According to the Emerging Trends in Real Estate Asia Pacific 2011 survey conducted by the Urban Land Institute (ULI), global real estate investors gave Manila a score of 4.56 points out of a possible 9, placing the city a few points below "fair" and somewhere within the realms of "abysmal."

Topping the survey was Singapore with a score of 5.96 points, followed by Shanghai with 5.87, Mumbai with 5.79, and Hong Kong with 5.70.

In an interview with the Inquirer, ULI global trustee and South Asia chairman Simon Treacy said the Philippines, in general, was suffering from a negative image, prompting investors in publicly listed real estate firms to bypass the country when deciding on where to allocate their funds.

"Manila is at the bottom of the pack because the Philippines hasn't gone to the next level. The country's image hasn't really improved. Even with the new administration, there's still a negative perception of the country," Treacy said.

"The Philippines rarely ranks when it comes to investment allocations. Since the Philippines doesn't get a lot of airplay, its real estate prospects become undervalued.

Marketing is very important, on a national level, because not a lot of real estate investors look to the Philippines when deciding where to put their capital," Teacy added.

One of the ways to attract real estate capital here, he said, was to put in place a viable real estate investment trust (REIT) environment.
