Megaworld to run local Marriott Hotel

International hospitality company Marriott Hotels International B.V. (Marriott) has agreed to provide technical assistance to a hotel that will be constructed by listed property firm Megaworld Corp.

In a letter to the exchange, Megaworld treasurer and corporate information officer Francisco C. Canuto said Marriott will provide Travellers International Hotel Group, Inc. (Travellers) technical services in an advisory capacity during the design and construction of the hotel to be built in Pasay City.

These services include international advertising, marketing, promotion and sales programs, employee training programs and the Marriott reservation and property management systems.

Megaworld majority-owned Travellers entered into a management agreement with Marriott yesterday following a memorandum of understanding inked between the US-based company and Megaworld in July 2005.

"The hotel, which shall have approximately 356 guest rooms, shall be designed, constructed, furnished, equipped, managed and operated as a Marriott system hotel," Mr. Canuto wrote.

Marriott also extended to Travellers the right and license within Manila, Philippines to use the Marriott trademarks for hotel services and other related goods and services offered in connection with the hotel which will be called Manila Marriott Hotel.

The hotel will rise in Newport City, a community township being developed by Megaworld and located on 25 hectares of land at Villamor Air Base in Pasay City. The community township, which is adjacent to Villamor golf course, is expected to include medium-rise residential towers, retail and commercial areas, a business and technology park, and leisure and tourism components.

John Hao, Megaworld’s investor relations officer, said Travellers is engaged in the business of hotels and other tourists-related establishments.

In a telephone interview, he said P3 billion would be allotted for the development and construction of the hotel, retail and entertainment centers. Construction of the hotel is expected to start within the year and completed after three years.

Newport City is targeted towards tenants and buyers where proximity to Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 is an advantage.

Yesterday, Megaworld shares closed 1.45% higher to P1.40.

Last month, AB Capital Securities, Inc. recommended a "buy" on Megaworld shares after the property developer entered a joint-venture agreement with the Manila City government for the development of the two parcels of land in Binondo Chinatown.

British embassy also purchased a 1.2-hectare property in its Mc-Kinley Hill township project. Mr. Hao said the embassy, which is currently in Makati City, will use the property as its new location.

The British embassy, which will be located along the Circumferential 5 section of McKinley Hill, is the first embassy that Megaworld was able to sell land to in the development.

AB Capital said, "This string of developments should confirm the company’s rising status as a force in the industry. From its dark times in the late 1990s, the company has proven its detractors wrong and continues to be active and visible in property developments."

The Philippine Star 07/19/2006

Upscale property developer Megaworld Corp. is setting aside P3 billion for the development of a first-class full serviced hotel and a mixed-use complex at the Villamor golf course in Pasay City.

The hotel, to be named Manila Marriott Hotel, will start construction this year and is expected to be completed not later than 2009.

The hotel will occupy seven hectares of the 25-hectare property being developed by Megaworld into a multi-purpose development project called Newport City.

Megaworld formed a new company – Travellers International Hotel Group – to serve as its corporate vehicle for hotel operations in partnership with Marriott Hotels International B.V.

Under the management contract, Marriott will supervise, direct and control the operation of the 356-room hotel.

Marriott will also provide technical services in an advisory capacity during the course of the design and construction of the hotel as well as other services generally made available to hotels in the Marriott system, such as international advertising, marketing, promotion and sales programs and the Marriott reservation and property management systems.

In addition, Marriott extended to Travellers the right and license within Manila to use the Marriott trademarks for hotel services and other related goods and services offered in connection with the hotel.

Marriott International owns the Marriott chain of first-class, full-service hotels worldwide. In 2004, it posted revenues of $10 billion.

Marriott Hotels are located in major gateway cities worldwide including Atlanta, Houston, Miami, Washington, D.C., Bangkok, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Quito (Ecuador), Lima and Mexico City.

Marriott’s hotel at Newport City is the first in Metro Manila and the second in the country after Cebu.

Aside from a first-class hotel, the Newport City urban resort project will host a low-density residential area, an office park, a themed shopping and entertainment hub and an institutional center featuring a sports club, a church and other community facilities and services.

The commercial and entertainment hub will have a shopping village as its centerpiece, while the business park is designed to be the headquarters of information technology and business process outsourcing companies as well as those engaged in airport-related services.
 
Megaworld to put up P600-M office building in Newport City
By Zinnia B. Dela Peña
The Philippine Star 09/07/2006

Megaworld Corp. has set aside P600 million for the construction of an eight-story office building within Newport City in Pasay.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Megaworld said the office building will feature state-of-the-art infrastructure geared to meet the requirements of business process outsourcing (BPO) firms.

The building, which recently broke ground, is slated for completion by the first quarter of 2008.

Newport City is located in a 25-hectare property near the Villamor golf course in Pasay City. The project involves the development of a hotel, retail and entertainment complex, and the construction of office buildings for BPO firms.

Newport City, a joint venture between Megaworld and the Bases Conversion Development Authority, is expected to generate P150 million in recurring income a year from an airport hotel and retail and commercial operations.

Funding for the project will come from the company’s recent $100-million bond issue.

Riding on the continued robust growth of the call center business, Megaworld will build around 400,000 square meters of BPO-ready office space over the next five years in Eastwood City, Mckinley Hill and Newport City.

For this year, Megaworld is building two call center buildings. Once completed, these structures would raise the company’s BPO leasable space to 105,000 square meters.

Megaworld is a leading property developer that focuses on the middle-to-high-end residential and office markets. Its flagship development is Eastwood City in Libis, a 15-hectare cyberpark and mixed-use project.

The company’s other big-ticket township or residential projects include the 50-hectare McKinley Hill in Bonifacio Global City, Manhattan Garden City in Araneta Center, Cubao, and the P15-billion Forbes Town Center, a joint development with the Bonifacio West Development Corp.

Mckinley Hill will comprise a residential subdivision, low-rise condominiums and a commercial center. The project is a 50-50 joint venture with George Yang’s Alliance Global Group Inc.

Creative minds don't run out of ideas, but then again, money fuels new ideas, maybe they need to pay their architects better, or just replace them since they seem to be running out of ideas and just recycling previous designs.
 
Hehehe i knew it. Too many highrise commercial & residential establishments are being built close to & around the NAIA perimeters. On top of this, Manila is rezoning all existing residential, industrial, & commercial zones.

Next thing we know, the existing NAIA will be reduced to a memorial park, called "Benigno Aquino Memorial Park" while a new highrise commercial & residential district and new freeways will rise at the heart of today's NAIA. Then welcome the new Manila International Airport that will be built northwest part of Sangley point, by reclaiming part of manila bay. To make it possible, manila will be purchasing part of cavite around the stretch of western part of manila bay, and this huge project will be financed from tourism & OCW revenues.
