Amandari recently breaks ground in Barangay Lawaan, Talisay City, Cebu and unveils project scale.
Shanna Louise Lopez, chief executive officer of Nexus Real Estate Corporation, described Amandari to be “first of its kind eco-conscious mixed-use residential development in Cebu.”
It is seen as an iconic multi-tower residential development master planned and designed by ArchiGlobal, one of the country’s top architectural firms.
It sits on a 2.9-hectare prime property, further described to be a pioneer in 21st century resort living in southern Cebu with strong eco-conscious elements, like dedication of 70 percent to open spaces. Says Architect – Torres, Amandari “is artfully interspersed with modern Balinese aesthetic, upturned roofs, Hindu elements.”
The Antara residential buildings will feature an innovative boomerang design, which is earthquake-proof and guaranteed to allow unobstructed flow of crisp mountain air and clear city views from each unit.
Why Amandari is a good investment? Says Lopez it is strategically located, has freedom of space and value for money, and that it espouses green living.
Amandari is located five minutes away from South Road Properties. It is set on land with more open spaces to allow for more outdoor activities as well as utmost functionality of residential units. The low-density units are available in easy-to-own payment terms and options to choose from, and that development will employ use of solar lighting, sustainable approach to development so residents can “live green.”
Environmental responsibility and resource efficiency in developments inspire Amandari to take serious commitment to having a water catchment basin of which rainwater will be harvested fro landscaping and irrigation. Solar streetlamps will also be considered to light the development at night.
Studio units are approximately at 24 square meters; two-bedroom units at 57 square meters, one-bedrom corner unit at 35 sqm, and one-bedroom at 37 sqm distributed in five buildings. Base price for studio units is pegged at Php1.3 million; one-bedroom unit A base price is Php1.8M; one-bedroom unit B is at Php2.1M; while two-bedroom units are at Php2.8M.
Lopez confirmed that 70 percent of the first 158-unit building is already sold.
“Thanks to Flaminia Realty, Leuterio [Realty] and BG [Realty]. The first people I saw when we started eight years ago are still the same people we are working with to make Amandari come true,” Lopez acknowledged.
A 6.5 percent commission rate is in the offing for agents/brokers who can sell over 25 units, this was one of the enticing packages laid out to the sales force. Aside from that, sale of over a hundred units would earn for the agent/broker a brand new car and a chance to join international sales roadshows not only in Asia but in the USA and Europe as well, Nexus Real Estate Corporation vowed.
This is the flagship project of Nexus in the mixed-use residential and recreational development in Talisay, or a stone’s throw from the SRP seen as the next commercial, IT and lifestyle destination of Cebu.
The entire development will feature a commercial strip, five mid-rise residential condominiums ranging from eight to 12 levels with bigger-than-average unit sizes per floor. Each unit will have its own private balconies allowing owners a panoramic city and ocean views. Also incorporating a first-of-a-kind adventure park that will occupy over a third of the entire property.
The commercial strip will have the following retail shops: mini grocery/pharmacy, Laundromat, water refilling station, restaurant, coffee/pastry shop, loading and bills payment station, souvenir shop for adventure park, beauty salon.
It also boasts of a grand and spacious clubhouse aptly called Nusa Dua to reflect its high-end international resort feel and features – grand ballroom, function rooms, restaurants, viewing deck overlooking SRP, business center, daycare center, indoor gym, kiddie pool and infinity pool to stand true to its commitment of “resort-lving” for its unit owners.
Unit owners can opt to have their units rented out hassle free via a Rental Management Option, where a professional team of rental managers will handle the rental and upkeep of enrolled units, guaranteeing a steady income for their owners.
Second, multiple unit buyers will have the option to revise unit’s interior layout and design based on personal preferences. This customization approach ensures that owners will have much say in the final finish of their units.
The biggest difference, however, will be the Amandari Adventure Park. An urban adventurer’s dream featuring a zipline, a 1.5-km hiking/jogging trail, hanging bridge, outdoor paintball arena, wall climbing facilities, mini-golf course, kiddie playground and a host of other amenities.
For those who prefer a more relaxed down time, they can enjoy a full service spa, a meditation pavilion, yoga center, and even small garden plots where they can nurture a green thumb.
The Ubud organic farming plots take inspiration from Balinese “ubud” to mean medicine. It is about the healing powers from the land. The Amandari oganic farm plots will be developed along the community’s periphery.
Schedule of delivery of first tower is by 2018, to put it on a conservative time frame, Lopez stressed. “It will truly be a game changer in the way Cebuanos live and play, and an iconic reminder of our world-class sensibilities,” she further enthused.
Amandari means “peaceful spirits” in Balinese.
