What makes Primavera Residences the perfect home for newlywed professionals?

1. Sometimes it’s hard to find condominiums that are not far from the city, but still have a homey and suburban atmosphere to it. This is what makes Primavera the best place to spend each day with your partner. Primavera Residences provide couples with a cozy and comfortable space to enjoy each other’s company in an incredibly convenient location so that newlyweds wake up and greet the new working day with a pleasant smile, not having to worry about being too far from the work place, and not being near enough to hear the loud cars drive by.

2. The green and lush garden of Primavera located at the 3rd floor, and the pool just a few steps away are tranquil venues for men and women to find their inner peace– nothing’s better than doing yoga poolside or hitting the gym while waiting for the husband to get home from work!

3. Weekends don’t have to be spent away from home when Primavera Residences provide couples with a relaxing and blissful living area, complete with a huge window to keep the bright light in, a television set for entertainment, and a comfortable couch you wouldn’t mind sleeping in when you’re watching a late-night movie with the wife.

4. The size of each unit is perfect for busy newlyweds; it provides a seamless flow in the home that bring you from one room to another with ease. Storage is not a problem since Primavera has provided numerous cabinets and drawers for all cooking needs, making it easier to prepare meals, and clean up! Music to any busy worker’s ears.

5. The calm, serene and romantic atmosphere of Primavera residences keep couples falling more and more in love, and hurrying to get back from work to spend a little more time together in this wonderful condominium with balconies, big windows and a front row seat to an amazing sunset view.

Against other condominiums in the city, Primavera stands out because it is only walking distance of SM City, but it is not surrounded by bustling traffic or the noise of the city. Primavera Residences provide complete customer satisfaction by providing anything and everything that anyone may need, may it be a chance to take a quiet walk around the block, or a little shopping with the husband/wife. Couples and professionals, among others in the market should look no further than Primavera Residences to answer all home and comfort needs.

COUPLES ARE IN LOVE WITH PRIMAVERA RESIDENCES

Isn’t it refreshing waking up to a cozy home and enjoying breakfast with the one you love?

Getting ready for work is never a hassle when you can get dressed and appreciate the lovely view at the same time.

And what is the wife to do while the husband works to bring home the bacon? Enjoy Primavera’s amenities of course!

What could be better than to come home to a loving wife, and the best view of the sunset?

Primavera Joins RealEXPO 2014

Posted by Jane on September 15, 2014

The economy of Cagayan de Oro City has grown by leaps and bounds and this could be seen through the booming real estate and automobile industry. One event to showcase this growth took place last September 12 – 14, 2014 at the Rotunda of Limketkai Mall. Dubbed BPI Housing Madness with Family Auto Loan and BusinessWeek Mindanao RealEXPO, the event was a partnership between the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and the BusinessWeek Mindanao (BWM) media group.

Primavera Residences, the multi-awarded eco-friendly condominium in uptown Cagayan de Oro developed by Italpinas Euroasian Design and Eco-development Corporation (ITPI), was one of the exhibitors. Showcased during the event was the 10-storey twin tower development which was recently awarded by the Asia Pacific Property Awards as the Best Mixed-Use Development in the Philippines for 2014-2015.

ITPI CEO Architect Romolo Nati was one of the speakers during the first day of the expo with his well-received talk that highlighted the impact of real estate on the environment.

“Through building in alternative locations and using design principles found in nature, ITPI was able to define architectural solutions that lessen the impact on the environment,” says Arch. Nati. “This translates to efficient use of energy, water, and other resources, which in turn lowers water and electricity bills.” The high-performance design of ITPI’s flagship project Primavera Residences allows its residents to save as much as 20% in energy consumption.

Miss Primavera 2014, Novanmae Marcojos graced the Primavera Residences exhibit booth during the expo’s second day. Booth visitors and mall-goers were given the opportunity for a meet-and-greet and photo op with the newly hailed Miss Primavera 2014.

The three-day real estate expo ended in a high note with thousands of walk-in guests being treated to music from local bands, fun and prizes, as well as great deals on great products. This includes the August Rush promo for Primavera Residences which was extended until the end of the RealEXPO. Discounts of up to P50,000 was made available to walk-in clients, further sweetening the investment opportunities for the last few remaining condominium units of Primavera Residences Towers 1 and 2.

Primavera Tower 1 is ready for occupancy, both for purchase or rent while the second tower is nearing its completion with the Topping-off Ceremony scheduled on the 26th of September.

Primavera Joins CDO Rugby’s 1st Anniv Celebration

Posted by Jane on September 13, 2014

Primavera Residences’ partner sports team, the Cagayan de Oro Rugby Football Club, has launched a series of events this September to celebrate their first anniversary. The first activity in the line up is aimed at giving back to the community with a fun party organized for the children of BoysTown. BoysTown in Lumbia, Cagayan de Oro houses young males which include orphans, street children, abandoned children, and other less fortunate young boys.

The half-day event catered to 25 children aged 5 to 17 and includes a wide array of activities such as a rugby sports therapy, games, a Jollibee-hosted party, and gift-giving from various sponsors. It was held on September 13, Saturday, from 8am to 12 noon at Primavera Residences Multipurpose Hall.

“The CDO Rugby Club has chosen Boystown as the recipient for some of its community outreach projects since young boys are vulnerable to illegal drugs and other dangers,” says Mae Dizon, one of the event organizers. “This is the fourth time that CDO Rugby Club hosted an event for the BoysTown kids, but to make this one special, we opted to have the event outside their facility.”

Various sponsors presented donations to the children including dental and hygiene kits from Primavera Residences. Italpinas CEO Architect Romolo Nati was also present during the event to join the fun and games. Volunteer group Child Protection Brigade headed by founder Renato “Rhaine” Pepito is among the partners of this worthwhile activity.

Here are some photos from the event.

Primavera Residences Ends July with a Successful Wellness Day

Posted by Stefan on July 29, 2014

Primavera Residences hosted a three-part wellness activity for the health conscious and fitness enthusiasts in the city last Saturday, July 26. Primavera Wellness Day is part of a series of activities at Primavera Residences celebrating Nutrition Month.

At 2 P.M., the Culinary Institute of Cagayan de Oro (CIC), the first culinary school in Northern Mindanao offering programs such as Culinary Arts with Holistic Nutrition and specialized courses like Certificate in Catering and Restaurant Operations, conducted a free healthy cooking demo with three hale and hearty recipes—Coleslaw, Granola Bars and Pepperoni Bruschetta.

Aside from that, Chef Ivy Trapero and her student JP Tan of CIC shared their experiences in eating not only healthy food but having a healthy lifestyle. “We only live once; why not make the most out of it by enjoying your food without feeling guilty?” Tan asked.

More so, attendees became more conscious and were eager to find out what went wrong after getting evaluated on their wellness levels. It was indeed a day full of knowledge and motivation.

At 3 P.M., Coach Noel Villa, the founder of CDO Rugby Club, demonstrated different exercises you can do at home. He further explained how to train smart through the Dynamic Training Approach, a specialized training approach that focuses on body sculpting, strength training, and sports conditioning. It is ideal for both men and women who want to get in shape, stay in shape and carry on a healthy lifestyle. D.T.A. is not a quick fix, it’s a lifestyle.

Primavera Wellness Day didn’t just end with knowing your wellness status and how to be fit through D.T.A. but it ended with a deeper sense of peace and contentment, with a yoga party. Julie Bonita Corrales, a US-trained yoga instructor, had a great time with Primavera Residences’ clients and partners as they connect with the universe through yoga.

Also present during the event were representatives from Pascual Laboratories who gave away free samples of their fitness product C-lium and Calchews.

The Primavera Wellness Day was the perfect time for unit owners and guests to start living a healthy lifestyle, because sometimes all we need is just a little nudge in the right direction to get our motivations going.

Julie Bonita Corrales: At Peace with the Universe through Yoga

Posted by Primavera Residences on July 16, 2014

By Kathy Yu and Cesar Stefan Rago

“If all people practice yoga, I believe that we can have the possibility to reduce suffering in the universe,” says the beautiful and fit yogi, Julie.

Julie Bonita Corrales, an American Yoga Alliance – certified yoga instructor from the island of Camiguin, has found contentment, inner peace, and a way to live healthy through yoga.

Julie finds herself grateful to have studied and completed yoga training from one of the best yoga schools in the United States. She completed her 200-hour RYT certification in New York Yoga at the heart of Upper East Side in Manhattan, New York City. New York Yoga equipped her with the kind of proficiency that brought not only physical fitness, but a deeper sense of peace and contentment in her life as well. This is the kind of instruction and inspiration that she now brings back to her hometown of Camiguin and to the rest of Northern Mindanao.

The YOGAHOME, her yoga studio in Camiguin which she founded with a yogi partner, is the best venue to change your lifestyle and find peace and relaxation in one of the most beautiful islands in the Philippines. She teaches fun and challenging asanas, incorporating yoga philosophy, meditation, and well though-out sequences in her classes. Breathing within that space and finding meaning to every pose, she encourages her students by repeatedly emphasizing the need to revisit our intentions for doing yoga.

“Yoga has changed my life, and I want to share my fascination of the uniquely meditative effects of yoga to motivate and inspire others,” says Julie.

Primavera Residences is proud to partner with the highly acclaimed yoga instructor Julie Bonita Corrales on the Primavera Wellness Event in celebration of the nutrition month.

Primavera Wellness Day, July 26, highlights a wellness talk by Chef Ivy Trapero at 3PM, a free wellness evaluation for all participants, and a discussion about Dynamic Training Approach by Coach Noel Villa of the CDO Rugby Club. Don’t miss the event’s finale, a yoga party with Ms. Julie Corrales at the multi-purpose hall of Primavera Residences.

Namaste!
