Primavera Conducts Clean Up Drive for National Volunteer Month

 

NVM1

The culture of volunteerism is a proud legacy of the Filipinos as citizens and as a nation. Service is our way of life, as the practice of ‘bayanihan’ or mutual cooperation has long been instilled in our consciousness. It has played an important role in helping the nation with the recent crises and disasters. Undoubtedly, volunteers have enabled the country to rise above challenges and move forward.

Volunteerism has become instrumental in improving the lives of the deprived and underprivileged. Thankfully, there are volunteers who willingly devote their time and effort to others and serve as essential partners of the nation in the quest of social change.

The National Volunteer Month (NVM) is celebrated every December to pay tribute to the commitment and dedication of volunteers, regardless of class, age, gender, expertise, and interest, who are united by a common goal of achieving equality, peace, and development.

Through NVM, the country recognizes the volunteers’ significance in nation-building. It honors the heroes who work without regard for material reward and find fulfillment in witnessing the change in the lives of people and communities they have touched.

Volunteering for the Environment

This year’s theme puts emphasis in the environment and highlights the volunteers who have poured efforts in taking care of nature in support of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) on environmental sustainability.

In celebration of this year’s National Volunteer Month, everyone is urged to be part of the campaign to protect, preserve, and sustain the environment through participating in national and local policy development and promotion, and supporting environmental campaigns.

“In line with National Volunteer Month and also to support our advocacy being the premier environment-friendly building in Cagayan de Oro, this coming December 13, Saturday, 7 o’clock in the morning, Italpinas Euroasian Design and Eco-development Corp (ITPI) personnel together with Primavera Residences unit owners and tenants are enjoined to participate in a clean-up drive of Trade Street and surrounding areas within the Pueblo de Oro Business Park,” Jane Montebon-Duterte, PR & Marketing Manager, shared.

 “I am a volunteer for the environment”

This coming Saturday, December 13, Primavera Residences invites you to take part in promoting a clean and green community.

“We are continuously experiencing typhoons that are directly resulting from climate change and environmental degradation. The only way to protect the environment and move forward is to get everyone involved. Who are we to neglect and abandon the environment? We owe our lives to nature, who are we not to give back?” Cesar Stefan Rago, PR & Marketing Coordinator, said.

Primavera Residences, which garnered several local and international recognitions for its commitment to green architecture and design, is known for its passive energy-saving features such as cantilevers that protect the units from direct sunlight and an indoor courtyard that maximizes the natural ventilation in the area. The building is also designed to withstand earthquakes and extreme weather conditions.

“As a sustainable developer, Italpinas invites everyone to come and take part as we celebrate National Volunteer Month. Stand up and make a positive impact to our environment. Together, we can be catalysts for a better community. With commitment, we can make a difference.” Rago said.

Sustainable developer ITPI, has invested in alternative locations where nature and the environment has been thoroughly preserved and optimized. Primavera Residences, located in a master planned community in uptown Cagayan de Oro, was built in 2009 and has been effectively on the lead in promoting green advocacies in Cagayan de Oro.

Have you thought of buying decors that suit your home’s style? Or know ways to live green at home? Would you prefer owning expensive materials that perfectly fit your taste or owning something less expensive that somehow complement your simple homey feels? Nevertheless, there will always be a way, might be expensive or not, that will help our environment’s welfare.

The Advantages of Condo Living

TACL

Cagayan de Oro, being one of the most competitive cities in the country, has begun to embrace the urbane lifestyle in recent years. In keeping up with the growing market, real estate developers have introduced several high and mid-rise residential and commercial developments, further fuelling the fast growth of the city.

With the series of flooding and other natural calamities that had hit the country in recent years, families who have been traumatized from the experience have sparked a demand for residential developments in well-located areas (i.e., flood-free, located on higher grounds), thus making high-rise living or the so-called condominium lifestyle a much-sought after commodity.

Here are some advantages why you should consider living in a condo:

LIFESTYLE

Free time, who has enough? You can exactly achieve that in a condominium lifestyle. Condominium residents can spend their free time doing the things they love to do, especially in a building that offers common areas like swimming pools and recreation rooms. Most condominiums cater to specific groups such young professionals, families, expats and retirees. Moreover, it ensures you that your neighbors are like-minded individuals who, like yourself, have seen the benefits and convenience of a lock-and-leave condo lifestyle.

AMENITIES

Most condos offer building amenities such as swimming pools, fitness centers, party venues, rooftop terraces and more while you just enjoy there and not getting worried in maintaining it.

At Primavera Residences, the country’s premier eco-friendly development, offers recreation areas such as the green indoor courtyard, swimming pool, gym and a panoramic view of the city from its rooftop – which is, in fact, the highest peak in all of Cagayan de Oro.

CUSTOMIZATION

Owning a condo unit gives you complete control of what to do inside your space. Whether it be your choice of furniture, paint colors, or your decision to renovate the kitchen – all details are entirely up to you!

MAINTENANCE FEES

Condo owners are given freedom from maintenance that you may not have the time, desire, or ability to tackle yourself. Things like hallway cleaning, swimming pool and gym maintenance are all things your monthly association dues cover.

SECURITY

Many condos have stricter security than subdivisions and apartment buildings. In fact, some buildings offer 24/hour concierge service or on site security for the building, on top of secured entrances. This is ideal for those who travel or go on vacations for lengthy periods of time. You have the security in knowing your home is safe in your absence.

When it comes to condo lifestyle in Cagayan de Oro, Primavera Residences is the ideal choice for investors and home buyers. Primavera Residences is more than just your ordinary condominium building. Aside from its sophisticated, Italian-inspired design, it is also the first sustainable development in Cagayan de Oro.

The twin tower ten-storey green building is located in Uptown Cagayan de Oro, a prime spot situated 110 meters above sea level. It boasts of its 290 units for both towers, with all units at Tower 1 ready for occupancy.

You wouldn’t want to miss your chance of owning a condo unit with a nature-inspired design, would you?

“One of our batch mates who proudly owns a condo unit at Primavera prepared for our chess tournament here,” Causin said.

Located at uptown Cagayan de Oro, Causin shared why they opt to consider Primavera to officially start their different sets of activities for this year’s XUHS Alumni Homecoming. “Most of our batch mates reside here in CdO’s uptown area, we’re glad that Primavera has this function hall that is serene and perfect for this kind of occasion. Aside that it’s accessible to restaurants and taxis, most of our batch mates are businessmen that would want an easier access to banks.”

Primavera Residences is the first multi-awarded green condominium building located in uptown Cagayan de Oro City. It’s a twin tower, 10-storey building which was recently awarded as the Best Mixed-Use Development in the Philippines in the 2014-2015 Asia Pacific Property Awards.

Why You Should Consider Investing in Real Estate

 

invest

Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world. 

—Franklin D. Roosevelt

What does the future hold for the real estate market in the Philippines? Is it still valuable to invest in real estate despite all the projects that have been booming everywhere in the recent years?

Not all investments are created equal. It means money, effort and time. Before getting ready to pursue an investment, financial gurus as well as plain old common sense would advise you to think through and analyze your investment strategies.

Real estate is something that you can physically touch and feel – since it’s tangible, many investors consider it a low-risk investment that allows you a greater degree of control over your money.

Normally, a down payment of up to 20% of the purchase price can be made, and the rest can be financed by banks. This gives you leverage to invest more in different types of properties with less money down, helping to build your net worth or income that you could make off the properties.

So, why should you invest in real estate? Here are the most notable advantages:

  1. It is income generating

If you’re investing in any real estate development such as a condominium or an apartment, make sure there is no oversupply of the same type of property in the area. Invest in a right property that has high demand, but is scarce and hard to find in the area.

If you pick the right property, you can surely enjoy the probability of a monthly rental income. Owning an investment property won’t take much of your time after you’ve set it up. The key is to find people who can help you monetize your investment.

In this case, Primavera Residences, an eco-friendly condominium in Cagayan de Oro, is an example of an investment that is new to the city. Being the first condominium that is ready for occupancy, you can surely generate income in no time, allowing for faster ROI.

The building also has its own professional in-house asset management team that manages the units for short and long term rental through the innovative ‘Serviced Apartments’ concept, the first of its kind in Cagayan de Oro. This ensures you a hassle-free, one-stop solution in overseeing your income generating asset. Quarterly reports will be provided to update you of the performance of your investment, allowing you to be on top of things while keeping headaches at bay.

  1. Keeping your day job

You can’t do ten day-jobs, but you can surely own and manage at least ten properties by yourself.

To guarantee a rental income, your creativity can increase the value of your property, may it be in renovating your interior and exterior or furnishing your unit/property. For such renovations, at Primavera Residences, buyers get unfurnished units with inclusions of tile floorings, painted walls and ceilings, fitted kitchen sinks, bathroom fixtures, electrical wirings and outlets and you can be inventive by how you design your unit to attract clients coming in.

You’ll make a substantial profit when the increase in value (perceived or otherwise) is greater than your acquisition cost and what you spent for the improvement. The key is to be diligent enough to look for a bargain. Remember that the profit is made when you buy, not just when you sell.

After everything is done, you will have just to sit, relax or continue on your day job and just receive a monthly income.

  1. Most real estate properties will appreciate in value.

“Most” because there are properties that are slow to appreciate and don’t appreciate in value at all.

The key is location, location, and location. 

Buy a property where the major developments are ongoing, or where it’s headed. Better yet, invest on properties near malls, schools, offices, churches, or new roads built. This translates to faster growth, value appreciation, and  higher demand to prospect investors.

Sustainable developer ITPI for example, has invested in alternative locations where nature and the environment has been thoroughly preserved and optimized. Primavera Residences, located in a master planned community in uptown Cagayan de Oro, was built in 2009 and has been successful in attracting buyers and investors who believe that uptown CDO is an ongoing success story in the real estate market.

  1. Your property is illiquid.

Unlike most investments, real estate couldn’t be immediately translated into cash, preventing irresponsible use of money or overspending.

If you’re in need of cash, however, your property can be used as a collateral in the bank or you can use it as a security to apply for a loan.

  1. Better returns

For many decades, this investment has produced constant wealth and long term appreciation for millions of people. If you consider inflation, in the long run, if you decide to sell your property, there’ll be a higher chance to get better returns as compared to just keeping your money in the bank. Real estate has had an average return of 8.6-10% over the past 20 years, since we have gone through 3% inflation over the years and this partly accounts for the high return on the investment.

Much, much better if you pass it on as a legacy to your children and your future children’s children.

5 Reasons to Invest in a Condominium Unit

Invest

One of the most common investment questions nowadays: is purchasing condominium units truly a wise investment?

The Philippines is definitely enjoying a major surge in real estate growth with developments currently being built and those still lining up. The rise in the number of residential buildings makes it more attractive to people who have their eyes set on property ownership or investment.

As a booming metropolis, Cagayan de Oro continues to support the increasing investment opportunities coming in that led us to be on the 2nd spot of being the Most Competitive City in the Philippines for 2014. One of the sought-after developments in the city are the number of condominium buildings.

For the savvy investor, a good investment is one that yields the highest return on investment (ROI). But are condominium units considered a sound investment?

Here are some reasons why you should consider purchasing a condominium unit:

  1. Condominium buildings are mostly situated in prime locations (in between hospitals, malls, restaurants, etc.). This results to a premium resell price or monthly rental. Take for example Primavera Residences. Residents who opt to rent out their units can enjoy up to 8% rental return per annum.
  2. Developers such as ITPI Corp. can help you go through the process of renting out your unit through an in-house Asset Management Program. This ensures a convenient and hassle-free handling of your units for rent and assures you that your unit is secured, occupied and of course, enjoying good earnings.
  3. One of the biggest perks of condominium ownership is that the individual owners enjoy the support of the condominium association and the developer in the maintenance of the building, common areas, and facilities.
  4. In a research by a property listing site lamudi.com.ph, it shows that 69% of Filipinos prefer to rent than to buy. Therefore, properties for rent have bigger chances of being booked for long term rentals, assuring a steady stream  of income for the property owner.
  5. Condos offer amenities like pools, gyms, gardens, and so on. As for Primavera Residences, you can have your parties at its Multi-pupose Hall, relax at its overlooking swimming pool, be fit and healthy at its indoor gym, and be at par with nature in its indoor courtyard. These are major bonuses for renting or reselling.

Reselling or renting out a condo unit is a good investment opportunity to increase your monthly income. Since there is a noted boost in housing demand and a rise in Philippine tourism, the outlook for property investments is looking better than ever. It has also been observed that tourists consider condos as better alternatives to hotels due to affordability, a more homey ambiance, and additional kitchen amenities.

Developed by Italpinas Euroasian Design and Eco-Development Corporation, Primavera Residences is the first eco-friendly condo property in Northern Mindanao. It has two 10-story towers with commercial and residential units that are ready for occupancy. It was recognized the Best Mixed-Use Development in the Philippines by the International Property Awards at the recent Asia Pacific Property Summit in Kuala Lumpur.
