DMCI Homes Arista Place showed its unique blend of relaxing and active condo lifestyle during the recent inauguration and blessing of its clubhouse and model units.
The event dubbed Zen Escape matched the overall resort atmosphere on the 11-building residential development along J.P. Rizal Street in Barangay Sto. Niño, Parañaque City with free massage given to guests while an acoustic band filled the tropical air with soothing music. A free accommodation for two at the Alta Vista de Boracay resort-hotel for three days and two nights was also offered to the buyers to give them a summer escape comparable to the vacation lifestyle they would expect when they move in at Arista Place.
“Arista Place is not only a home but a lifestyle. We want our customers to feel the resort living here,” said Sarah Jane Corpuz, Senior Project Development specialist of DMCI Homes.
DMCI Homes officials led the company’s marketing staff in hosting Zen Escape at the newly-built 2-storey clubhouse. Senior Vice President for Finance and Operations, Ramil Lombos; Vice President for Project Development, Alma Florendo; Vice President for Property Management Corporation, Anna Marie Ferrer and Senior Marketing Manager Jan Venturanza cut the ribbon to the clubhouse and model units. The blessing of the facilities followed before the officials did the ceremonial coin tossing and joined guests for lunch at the function room on the second floor of the clubhouse.
The unveiled two model units are on the ground floor of the Grande building. The Grande, together with the Apex building, were also officially opened for customer viewing being the community’s first two completed 6-storey residential buildings that are ready for occupancy in March.
Arista Place sits on a 4.8-hectare property allowing DMCI Homes to provide a bigger space for outdoor amenities. With a floor area of 1,800 square meters, the clubhouse is bigger than any similar facility in other DMCI Homes communities, according to Corpuz. It houses the game area, audio-visual room, function room, fitness gym, lounge, indoor badminton court, water station, convenience store and the Project Management Office.
More than a hectare of outdoor amenity area is consists of two swimming pools, a basketball court, an open field, lounges, garden trails, palm promenade and an Integrated Multi-level Play System.
“Arista Place has one of the largest if not the largest amenity core in a DMCI Homes project,” said Venturanza. “Because of this, it is the first DMCI Homes community to have the Integrated Multi-level Play System.”
The Integrated Multi-level Play System is the latest in park innovation. They are play and exercise stations for kids and adults alike similar to those found in Hong Kong and Singapore parks, according to Venturanza. The Arista Place version consists of a swaying bridge, cross trainer, free runner, horizontal ladder and a multi-climb structure, where kids can play on rope nets and ladders. The play stations offer children, adults and even seniors, different fun ways to challenge their body and test their strength.
Aside from a relaxing and active lifestyle, Arista Place also offers comfort and convenience to future residents. Its 2-bedroom units with floor areas ranging from 42 to 59.5 square meters have efficient space plus first-rate finishes and quality craftsmanship. All 1,297 units available have balconies, a utility meter and cable connections.
Arista Place has an Asian-Tropical architecture and its buildings have earth-toned colors to provide that soothing and relaxing feeling. Long overhung roofs provide aesthetic appeal while serving as shade during hot days. It is designed to reduce the constrictive feel of traditional condos as single-loaded hallways let unit doors open to a corridors instead of to neighboring units. Garden atriums create a refreshing ambience inside the buildings. Each building is served by a high-speed elevator with CCTVs in common areas, stand-by power generator, automatic fire sprinkler and fire suppression system, fire alarm system, and centralized mail room. Six buildings will be completed and turned over to residents this year. The remaining five buildings will be finished and turned over next year.
Arista Place’s location makes it a convenient address for families because it is near schools, shopping malls, hospitals and churches. It is also an ideal home for professionals being near commercial centers, including the emerging PAGCOR Entertainment City; the business districts of Makati, Taguig and Alabang; the domestic and international airports; and the Sucat Road, C-5 Road Extension, SLEX and Skyway.
