Avida, A Growing Community with its New Towers

Avida Land is proud to announce the latest additions to its vastly growing community: Avida Towers Prime Taft Tower 2 and Avida Towers Sucat Tower 8.

The entire development of Avida Towers Sucat is nearing its completion, with the introduction of Tower 8. What sets Tower 8 apart from the previous towers is its exclusive SkyClub, a rooftop haven where residents can take pleasure in breathtaking views of the cityscape. Residents can enjoy the sunrise while sipping coffee or while doing yoga, and the sunset while chilling in the company of friends.

To complete the sense of community that Avida envisions for Avida Towers Sucat, an area has also been developed for expanded amenities. This area consists of more than a thousand square meters of land, dedicated to providing residents a means of bonding with their families. A swimming pool is built right in the middle of the newly constructed area, while a playground with a basketball court can be found near the pool, open for children to play in during their leisure time. In order to address the fitness of its residents, outdoor gym equipment is also provided and a brick jogging path encircles the whole amenity area.  A special game room adds to the fun, where one can play air hockey, fuzz ball and board games.

Meanwhile, Avida Towers Prime Taft’s Tower 2 was launched with a strong demand for more units. Avida Towers Prime Taft is an ideal living space for students and young urban professionals. The tower will have amenities suited to the residents’ profiles, including The Nook, a study hall which students are encouraged to use for their academic needs.

Avida recently tied up with Team Manila to design a colorful board-up that currently surrounds the property. Inspired by the dynamic landscape that surrounds Taft Avenue, the patterns blend with images of the lifestyle one can experience, whether it be studying or relaxing in the Sunset Deck or stepping outside to explore the city.

Avida Towers Prime Taft and Avida Towers Sucat both deliver the advantage of being able to live a suburban lifestyle while still being within easy access to the city life. The projects’ convenient locations make it easier for residents to travel from their homes to their schools, malls and other places of interest. Makati, the heart of Metro Manila, has its business district just a few minutes away from both locations, making work closer to home.

Studio, one- bedroom and two-bedroom units are available. Avida Towers Prime Taft units range from P1.9M to P6.1M, while units at Avida Towers Sucat range from P1.5M to P4M. Both projects are managed and maintained by the Ayala Property Management Corporation, assuring residents that the property remains in top shape.

New tourist destination

According to Mimi Acacio, CEO of the San Juanico Golf Hotel, the hotel design is especially geared towards all ages, making them feel relaxed and at home while enjoying the beauty of both nature and conformity with the hotel interiors. 

“We have to find a balance between the already beautiful landscape outdoors and our goal to provide a relaxed, aesthetic pleasing look indoors. I am pleased that we have achieved a homely, carefree elegance in interior designs, in our rooms without and with private patios and the rest of our amenities.

“Once inside the hotel, all your nagging concerns just melt away. Just sit back and enjoy our services or you could go outdoors and play with the children; body with family and friends, or simply take early morning or late afternoon walks along the fairways on greens or cemented pathways. Our swimming pools--one for adults and one for the kids--are a great way to have fun, relax and exercise,” she said.

Acacio adds that they paid attention to details for the guests’ comfort and enjoyment. Even the drapes, beddings and other room accessories are customized for the homely and elegant presentation.

“Liza Cahilig, who supplied the drapes and beddings accessories, did a wonderful job. Here at the San Juanico Golf Hotel we make guests’ convenience and satisfaction an absolute priority. We represent the best that Tacloban and the Eastern Visayas has to offer. Our goal is to make our guests as comfortable as possible by giving them every convenience and providing their needs.” she said.

The San Juanico Golf Hotel is also set apart by its ultimate offer of exclusivity—selected rooms are available for purchase.

“It is the ultimate in exclusivity. The buyer will have ownership of a unit in a world-class, full-service hotel with all the amenities and our excellent service staff at their beck and call. Would be owners of these units will have the best of condotel living—as a second home or as a leisure hideaway,” she said. 

A new offering for guests is the horseback-riding amenity for the children.  For those who wish to enjoy and commune with the wonder of nature even more closely, go on a horseback ride with the assistance of experienced guides and expert handlers. 

While waiting for the kids, hotel guests are welcome to enjoy global, gourmet fair at the spacious and comfortable Golf Clubhouse.
