PinoyWorld was invited to the launching of The Mactan Newtown — the premier township project of the country’s top real estate company Megaworld.

Just barely five months after its official launch, the first residential property at barangay Mactan, Lapulapu City just announced that it is 95% SOLD to prospect buyers and a new cluster will be launched and soon to be opened to the public.

WALL CLIMBING Area

According to our sources, the new cluster will be launched first quarter this year and will be the provided with top-notch amenities such as 20-meter-long pool, pocket gardens, rock climbing wall, an aqua gym and a yoga/taichi area. And the list wont end there. One Pacific Square is expected to flourish at the ground level and will house of chic and fab retail stores and boutiques.

Megaworld Cebu Properties Inc. President Noli Hernandez shares:

“We are bringing luxury and lifestyle convenience to new heights. One Pacific Residence will showcase the best of ‘Newtown’ living.”

It can be recalled that One Pacific Residence was publicly unveiled on August 2012. One Pacific Residence received positive response from Cebuano, including Lapu-lapu City Mayor Paz Radaza who was the Guest of Honor that night. In her previous speech, the dynamic Mayor of Lapu-lapu City exclaimed, ”

“Megaworld’s investment in Lapu-Lapu City is the bright beacon that will catapult the metropolis to become an economic force to reckon with.”

What to expect? What’s next?

One Pacific Square

The common question that comes up to cynics is, Will this property and township named The Mactan Newtown reach the projected success it hopes to have?

Looking at examples like Eastwood City, McKinley Hill and Newport City, these are all township projects initiated by Megaworld. Success after success in launching properties and township, they must have learned their craft well to introduce the ‘live-work-play’concept it had pioneered in the Philippines. It will not be for long when the 16-hectare township in barangay Mactan will also become another preferred locations of leading IT and BPO offices since new locators (which are not currently in Cebu) will also bring in more seats for Cebuano’s to occupy.

Mr. Hernandez adds in our interview during the launching of McDonald’s Mactan Newtown :

“There is more to watch out for in The Mactan Newtown. The launching of McDonald’s The Mactan Newtown is just the beginning.”

Upscale entertainment hotspots, five-star hotels and posh shopping spaces which are all soon-to-rise within the township.

Cebu is becoming the centerpiece of major infrastructure and business developments. Same with SM Supermalls, the largest mall chain in the Philippines and arguably in Asia Pacific. In South Reclamation Properties (SRP) of Cebu City will soon rise the “SM Seaside City Cebu“.

In a one-on-one interview with SM Vismin PR Manager RJ Leduna, “SM Seaside City Cebu is built like a city in a city.”

The SM Seaside City Cebu is expected to be one of the major developments that we can see in the SM Properties masterplan in their 304,100 sq. meter property in SRP, Cebu City. The said SM property spreads from the norther part of the exclusive SRP area to the sea.

The said grand mall, which is expected to be the first of its kind in urban design and development at SRP and designed by Miami, Florida based Arquitectonica, will set a new benchmark and change the landscape of the city with its “nautilus-inspired design of expanding, concentric arcs from a central multi-purpose space.”

RJ Leduna further confirms that Shrine of Mary will be finished first on 2012. Also with an acronym “SM”, the church is a “sleek, modern all-white structure nestled among lush foliage.” It is the firs structure that will be built in the SM SRP Complex where the SM Seaside City Cebu is the centerpiece.

SM SRP Complex, aside from the Shrine of Mary church, is also planned to have also have a condominium buildings, hotel, a school, and a hospital.

More information will follow as we continue to unveil SM Seaside City Cebu and the SM SRP Complex.

I met the word calyx way back in grade two and had been familiar with the part of the flower in grade 4 when we spent more time studying the parts of the flower and Botany itself.  Naming a property as CALYX RESIDENCE is another thing. For the key people of Innoland, Calyx is no longer defined as the sepals of a flower collectively formed. CALYX is a manifestation of a new lifestyle.

Quoting their brochure, ” Calyx answers the need for residential options that support the environment. Like the perfect spiral chambers of the nautilus, many of the design elements of the condominium are driven by a strong purpose to define a secure and balanced lifestyle for its residents.”

The upcoming property is developed by Innoland Development Corporation, a local group of passionate Cebuanos.

I was fortunate to talk to Ms. Flair Sabellano who gave me a personal welcome during the launch last June 24 at Marco Polo Hotel. The venue was warmer when other members and key officers of Innoland welcome the Who’s Who of Cebu’s real estate industry.

With a handshake, Innoland’s Vice President for Marketing and Sales Wilson Granados exclaimed, ” I am excited tonight since we will be launching another first in Cebu.”

According to Mr. Granados, CALYX RESIDENCES will offer the following features first:

1. Cebu’s first high-rise rooftop Aquadeck and infinity swimming pool. Located at the 28th floor, the pool will give residents a panoramic view of the Mactan Channel, the islands beyond and the city harbor. Can’t wait to see the view from here especially at night.
2. The Sky Lounge and Garden on the top floor. The area is not just your other club house. The lounge will be completely equipped with a gourmet kitchen and able service staff to serve any residents private parties.
3. Garden Lanai Suites on the 9th floor. No need to get out of the building to see a garden. The building itself has units with gardens as spacious at 36-48 square meters.
4. Fitness Gym. A Spacious area at the ground floor and just adjacent to the main entrance provides an avenue for health and wellness with its state-of-the art fitness amenities. What’s more is its green scenery provided by the landscaped garden.
5. Organic Design Elements. Its not just another design. AIDEA Philippines designed its exterior resembling the sea ripples along the shorelines. Open corridors in all floors draw in light and fresh air. Sustainable green features are part of the  building’s architecture and interior spaces.

Along with this features is the Penthouse options at the 26th and 27th floor which provides residents very luxurious options.

from the 10th floor to the 25th floor, a new concept is introduced in Calyx Residences studio space layout to maximize natural light and ventilation. Thanks to the creative mind of Interior Space Designer Tina Perequet.
