Friday, January 12, 2007 Aboitiz launches ‘garden’ village
AMID the influx of high-rise condominium projects within the city, AboitizLand is setting up a garden village in Liloan, Cebu situated within the company’s ready community, the Molave Highlands.
Highlands Residences offers house-and-lot units in a “village within a village,” equipped with high security and a nature-abounding setting.
AboitizLand president and chief operating officer Andoni Aboitiz said the project is the company’s “commitment to continue to innovate, to attend to the specific and broadening needs of a more discriminating clientele.”
“We saw that a particular group of customers wants something more than just a roof over their heads and have detailed preferences that lean towards a lush environment teeming with flora and fauna while retaining all the components of an urban oasis,” he said. “The Highlands Residences has this sort of lifestyle specifications—a garden village concept that would meet their standards.”
Aboitiz said that to meet this garden concept, individual private gardens are allotted more space.
“The house is usually set back three meters off the road, but here, home units are set back four meters with low fences and ready landscaping,” he said.
The amenities in Highlands Residences include picnic grounds, swimming pool and playcourt.
The garden village is adjacent to AboitizLand’s Molave Highlands, which has wide-open spaces of sprawling lawns.
All units at Highlands Residences will be built with the design and construction benefits of sheer wall technology, which is three times stronger than the usual concrete hollow blocks. The units have Swiss-inspired architectural design.
“Vecinos (Spanish for “neighbors,” a term Aboitiz-Land uses to refer to its customers) will feel that the entire place is their garden. This garden village is perfect for those whose top most priority in choosing a home is ambiance,” Aboitiz said. (PR)
