Friday, April 11, 2008 Aboitizland Inc. to unveil Cebu’s first urban village
ABOITIZLAND, Inc. will unveil very soon its first vertical commercial and residential enclave, The Persimmon, at the former COACO Compound on M. J. Cuenco Avenue, Cebu City.
As the Aboitizland team is preparing for the grand launch of Cebu’s first urban village, a lot of interest has been generated about the project’s features and amenities, as well as its classic name.
Pia Mantecon, Aboitizland vice president for sales, marketing and customer service explains that The Persimmon is named after the mabolo fruit and the city district where the urban village will rise.
“Persimmon” is the English name for the trees classified under the genus Diospyros which includes the Philippine mabolo.
By adopting the mabolo as its symbol, The Persimmon pays homage to Cebu’s rich culture and history. The Persimmon will enrich and enhance the way the Cebuanos live, providing a home with modern conveniences within Cebu City.
The persimmon tree could be either multi-trunked or single-stemmed and can grow to 25 feet high and could also be as wide. It is an interesting ornamental with drooping leaves and branches that give it a characteristic tropical appearance.
AboitizLand recognizes the tree as a symbol of incessant fruition. Persimmons propagate by pollination. Each tree could either be male or female, but any tree could bear both male and female flowers.
Distinguished by very attractive, shiny, roundish fruits, the different varieties of persimmon display their fruits at different times of the year. The colors and sizes of the fruits of different varieties also vary from yellowish-orange to crimson and from small to large.
Like its namesake, The Persimmon will be attractive, spanking shiny and very interesting. It will have top-quality residential units and commercial service providers within its four-tower cluster.
As a tribute to its namesake, the urban village will be planted with mabolo trees. The planned greenscapes, expansive landscaped areas, will make The Persimmon a real oasis within the city.
