Resort vibe fills DMCI Homes’ The Amaryllis to the top

Entering a DMCI Homes residential condominium community is like entering a resort as swimming pools surrounded by gardens and trees are standard amenities in such exclusive village. The scene of young and old swimmers splashing across the pool on a hot summer day even more make the likes of The Amaryllis in New Manila, Quezon City a rare home-in-a-resort within the city.

From the poolside cabanas and sun loungers, The Amaryllis’ resort vibe extends to the lounge, hotel-like lobby and every floor and unit in the 22-storey upscale, residential condominium tower at the corner of E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue and 12th Street. Garden atriums, single-loaded corridors and breezeways bring in natural air and light inside the building. The Sky Lounge even has the “chic resort” look.

If the pool complex play up the tropical paradise spirit downstairs, the Sky Lounge’s simple yet elegant finishes and furniture pieces give The Amaryllis residents a luxe escape from the urban jungle, according to Jen Padrigo, DMCI Homes interior designer.

“Wooden elements, gauzy curtains and tropical plants plus splendid views of the New Manila skyline bring in the feel of a resort while polished stone, metal and glass keep it modern,” says Padrigo of the Sky Lounge design. “A clean and neutral color palette accented with greens and combined with ambient/mood lighting enhances the overall cozy and sophisticated feel of the space.”

With couches that can fit groups and armchairs suited for intimate conversation, the Sky Lounge is a virtual extension of the living room. Residents can entertain their guests or invite friends over for a snack or coffee there. It can even be an enjoyable alternative to the bars and restaurants along Tomas Morato Avenue and Timog Avenue below. One can have privacy and quiet to read a book, surf the net, study or just sit comfortably while enjoying the magnificent views of the cityscape. The whole venue can also be reserved by residents for family and social events.

Outside the Sky Lounge, date palms and Kalachuchi trees with its white flowers replicate the ground floor landscape on the open roof deck for a consistent resort feel.

The Amaryllis promises low-density living with only 450 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom units in cuts ranging from 55 to 105.5 square meters. The sizes make them ideal homes for start-up families. Each unit has a balcony and every unit owner can have a parking slot at the four-level basement parking.

Other resort-like amenities, include a multi-purpose hall and fitness gym. Additional facilities that make living at The Amaryllis more convenient and worry-free are three (3) high speed elevators, individual mailboxes, a laundry station, 100% back up stand-by power generator, and overhead water tank, water station, and property management office.

Privacy, exclusivity and security are provided through a gated entrance, electrified perimeter fence, 24-hour roving security guards and provision for CCTV cameras. Safety features are fire alarm and fire hose cabinets along corridors, and fire exit in both wings of the L-shaped tower.

Schools, commercial establishments, offices, hospitals and churches are near The Amaryllis. Major roads around the development also make it very accessible to public transportation.

Triple A property developer DMCI Homes assures homeowners of a quality and affordable home plus timely completion and delivery of their investment. The company is the builder of many resort-themed residential communities in Metro Manila and is backed by D.M. Consunji, which has more than 60 years experience in construction and property development.

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.

DMCI Homes gets BIR award for paying over P1B tax

PRNEWS Leave a comment

DMCI Homes is glad to receive the BIR award and become part of the agency’s Billionaires’ Club.

DMCI Homes was among 10 companies that received the 2013 Billionaires’ Club Award from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) for paying more than P1 billion in taxes last year.

DMCI Homes President Alfredo R. Austria and Senior Vice President for Finance and Operations Ramil Lombos received the award from Finance Secretary Cesar V. Purisima, BIR Commissioner Kim S. Jacinto-Henares and BIR Assistant Commissioner Alfredo V. Misajon during the launching ceremony of the BIR’s 2014 tax campaign for large taxpayers at the Solaire Resort in Parañaque City on Feb. 25, 2014.

In the event that also fetes the 2,120 companies in the BIR’s list of large taxpayers in the country, including DMCI Homes, Purisima and Henares thanked the top executives of the big corporations for helping the BIR in its tax collection effort.

DMCI Homes and other companies paid P755.23 billion in taxes last year through the BIR’s Large Taxpayer Service (LTS) department. The figure, which is 15.98 percent higher than the LTS’s tax collection in 2012, represents more than 60 percent of the BIR’s total 2013 tax collection target of P1.217 trillion.

Austria said DMCI Homes is glad to receive the BIR award and become part of the agency’s Billionaires’ Club.

“We’re also quite surprised that DMCI Homes, being a relatively younger company compared to the other real estate companies, was chosen as part of the Billionaires’ Club,” Austria said.

Lombos said DMCI Homes is a responsible developer and pays the right taxes.

“It is one of our ways of helping the government,” he said.

The premiere developer of innovative resort-themed residential condominium communities was the only real estate company among the awardees. Lombos said it was only last year that DMCI Homes’ tax payment reached P1 billion and the company was classified by the BIR as a large taxpayer.

During the BIR event, Purisima urged large taxpayers to continue supporting the LTS as this year’s tax collection target of the BIR is bigger at P1.456 trillion. Henares said it is the consistency of the tax payment to the LTS that basically allows the BIR to make sure that the government has that amount of money to spend for the basic services.

Austria said DMCI Homes fully supports the BIR’s 2014 tax collection campaign dubbed “I Love the Philippines, I Pay My Taxes Right, It’s as Easy As RFP (Register File Pay).”

“It is our hope that all companies in the Philippines pay the right taxes, especially those in the real estate and construction sector, so that we can all contribute to the progress of the country,” Austria said. “We also hope that these taxes be put to good use.”
