LAUREANO DI TREVI: LIVING CLOSE TO IT ALL
TODAY, more and more urbanites are opting to live closer or even within commercial and business districts. Their dwelling of choice has become condo units primarily because of their relatively low maintenance, 24-hour security and close proximity to their workplaces, resulting in shorter daily commutes.
These condos are probably even more important to budding professionals who work in bustling business communities such as the Makati Central Business District (CBD).
One example is Laureano di Trevi, a three-tower vertical mixed-use (combination of residential and commercial units) development that spans over 5,000 sq m of property and situated along the strategic Chino Roces Avenue (formerly Pasong Tamo) in Makati City.
Trevi was launched in 2007 as an answer to the growing demand for high-rise residences. In fact, sales have been brisk that Trevi’s first tower was sold out on the same year it was introduced. As of this writing, units in Towers 2 and 3 are selling quickly while unit owners have begun moving into the completed Tower 1 of this P3-billion project early this year.
Over 1,000 exclusive residences will be available at Trevi at the completion of the three towers. Tower 1 has 28 stories, Tower 2 is a 37-story rise, while Tower 3 has 24 levels. A selection of units is offered: single-bedroom unit beginning at 20 sq m to 31 sq m, and combined two-bedroom units with a 40-sq-m floor area. The Penthouse units present a luxurious living option with a floor area of 87 sq m to 180 sq m. Each unit has its own balcony. Unit prices range from an affordable P1.9 million to P4 million.
Planned and designed by Palafox Associates, Trevi boasts of a modern architectural style complemented by an energy-efficient design which utilizes ventilation gratings, sun sheds and heat reflective exterior closures. Each tower is purposefully arranged to enhance natural ventilation and lighting while providing unobstructed views of the Makati skyline and the Manila Bay sunset.
Trevi is a unique condominium that harnesses the wind to ensure natural ventilation year-round. This means less dependence on air-conditioning and more savings on electricity.
Meticulous planning, as well as careful choice of efficient and functional facilities and amenities, paved the way for a pool deck that allows one to bask under the sun without leaving the comforts of home; a children’s playground that provides a safe and secure entertainment space for kids; a jogging path for keen weight watchers, al fresco areas that are ideal for intimate outdoor gathering and tête-à-tête, and landscaped gardens perfect for leisurely morning walks or meditation.
Trevi’s concept and design encourages “pedestrianization” both inside and outside the development. That is why within the property, there are “walkable” outdoor areas through well-designed paved walks lined with lush ornamental vegetation and long promenades allowing a simple, defined route that encourages navigation throughout the development.
The first five levels of every tower serve as the podiums, with the ground levels ready to accommodate commercial establishments, the second to fifth floors offering parking spaces for residents, and the podium’s roof deck housing first-class amenities and facilities for a comfortable urban lifestyle. A rare treat for condominium dwellers is the existence of landscaped gardens, promenade and alfresco areas at Trevi’s Sky Plaza.
Those who choose Trevi Towers as their home will discover that the important developments and conveniences found in Makati City are practically just a stone’s throw away. It’s just five minutes away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Makati CBD, Greenbelt, The Fort, the Asian Institute of Management, Glorietta and literally a few steps away from Waltermart and Makati Cinema Square. It is accessible from the north and south via the Sergio Osmeña Highway (South Superhighway), and from the east and west via the Antonio Arnaiz Road (Pasay Road). It is also near major thoroughfares like the South Luzon Expressway, Skyway, Pasay Road and Edsa. Top-notch schools like Assumption College and Colegio de San Agustin are just a short drive away—the Don Bosco Technical Institute is right in front of the property. Even premier medical institutions like the Makati Medical Center are nearby.
Vista Residences Inc., the condominium development arm of Vista Land and Lifescapes, the country’s largest homebuilder, entered the market in 2006 to offer Filipinos the easy convenience of condominium living. Combining the space-planning savvy of the country’s top architects, an innate knack for selecting accessible and attractive locations to fit a wide range of needs, budgets and lifestyles, Vista Residences has set new standards for affordable mid-to-high-rise living.
