Home for the Holidays

Posted by Stefan on

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” as Andy William’s song goes.

Millions of Filipino people currently work overseas. As Filipinos, we  know how painful it is for  OFWs to be working away from their families to help provide them with a better life. And many haven’t seen their loved ones for several years now.

As Filipinos, we always look forward to this season. As parents, we hope for our family to be intact: to take the opportunity to make up from the time we haven’t spent with our children. As kids we looked forward to the joy of the season: all the cool stuff we would get, all the great food and treats, and lots of time to just enjoy the season with the family.

These memories are imprinted into our mind and are revived every year with the sounds and sights of the holidays. For most, it’s a special time of year, one in which we celebrate and connect with those closest to us.

This holiday season, it is best to spend quality time with your kids. Christmas is a good time to teach your family, especially children about values like love, compassion, giving and sharing. This is the perfect time to include the whole family in different Christmas activities like baking cookies, decorating the house and the tree and wrapping up gifts, to mention some.

Come up with games that your family might enjoy. In fact, it is a good idea to go shopping together, where you can make your kids choose their own gifts. Buy groceries together and just enjoy the company you might have missed for a long time.

The key here is to give yourself a break and to spend maximum time with your family. A family Christmas is the best kind of Christmas and once you have had a good one, you will make it a point to enjoy every future Christmas with your family.

Primavera Residences is a family-oriented multi-awarded development in Cagayan de Oro. The building consists of amenities and facilities both parents and children will enjoy. Its location and eco-friendly features add up to what most parents would want in a home—flood-free zone, 24/7 security, and it could save up to 20% of electricity consumption.

Primavera Conducts Clean-up Drive for National Volunteer Month

Posted by Stefan on

DSC_0062

Last December 13, 2014, Primavera Residences personnel have come together in support of the building’s advocacy to a clean and green environment.

In celebration of the National Volunteer Month with the theme “Volunteering for the Environment”, Primavera Residences took the opportunity to care for the environment by successfully conducting a clean-up drive around Pueblo de Oro Business Park’s Trade Street and areas nearby.

“To be part of a sustainable development and joining its advocacies is not just rewarding but also a testimony that Cagayan de Oro’s progress still goes hand in hand with nature. The clean-up drive was fun and fulfilling at the same time. Waking up early for a satisfying reason is truly worth it,” Cesar Stefan Rago, PR & Marketing Coordinator, said.

At exactly 7 o’clock in the morning, Primavera Residences personnel began sweeping and collecting garbage around the area and found out that most of the wastes are cigarette butts, chips and candy wrappers, cellophane, and plastic bottles.

“As an advocate for green living and sustainable development, I found the whole experience very fulfilling because I believe that the small things we do for our environment will bring a great impact in the world. Nothing can compare to the feeling of knowing that you’re making the world a better place to live in, one small act at a time,” Diana Christy Zamora, Marketing Support Officer, said.

Rhapsody Binasbas, one of Primavera’s financial accountants said that it was a wonderful experience giving Mother Earth the care she deserves.

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.

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.

Things to Consider in Buying Your First Property

Posted by Stefan on

TTCWBYFP

Let’s admit the fact that buying your first home is more than a little overwhelming, in fact, it is one of the most difficult decisions you have to make. Your dream home is your asset,but  it is also a major responsibility. To help you on your dilemma, we have put together a buyer’s guide to ease the process.

As you prepare to buy your first home, allow us to explain some factors you are likely to come across.

First and foremost, even before you deal with accredited real estate agents, you will need to work out your budget, which means spending some time studying your finances. Once that is all ironed out and you have an idea of how much you are willing to spend, we can begin weighing in on what to consider in buying a property.

1. Location

location1

A top priority in buying a property is finding the right location. Whether you are purchasing your home as an investment, a lifestyle upgrade or both, one of the most important decisions you will make is where you want to live. Your home’s location will help determine not only the future value of your investment (if you’re planning to sell in the future), but also many aspects of your everyday life. Here are some factors you should also consider carefully when selecting a location according to Amy Fontinelle in Buying a Home: Choose Your Location.

  • Security

management1

Safety is a top concern. You’ll often pay less to live in an area with higher crime rate, but if you’ll have to live in fear or if you one day become a victim, no price discount will be worth it. It may also be harder to resell your home or get a good price for it if you decide to sell.

  • Work proximity

The length of your daily commute can have a significant impact on your disposable income, quality of life and how much time you get to spend at home with your family. How long of a commute can you endure? Are you planning to stay at your current job long-term or do you expect to switch jobs in the near future? If you plan to stay at your current job, how close to work do you want to live? If you plan to switch jobs, what are the job prospects in or near the area where you’d like to live?

  • City vs. Suburb vs. Rural

The setting you choose within the city or town you select will affect the amount of peace and quiet you have, lot size (if you’re buying a house), primary and secondary education options for your children, proximity to shopping, entertainment, medical services and anything else you might want or need, and more.

 

2. Developer’s Track Record

developer1

Before buying your first home, it’s important to research the building’s developer and have a good understanding of their past projects. Work with real estate professionals to find out if the building is sound or not. When you add your findings of the building’s structural integrity to the developer’s track record, you will know if the building is a quality product or not. Do they hand over house keys on schedule? What are the qualities of the units or houses they have sold so far? To find out about a particular developer’s track record, consult the Internet or ask for an opinion from a property consultant.

 

3 . Management

management2

In buying a property, make sure there is a property management body that would help you go through the proper process in assisting you about your property plans.

Consider safety, maintenance, proper billing process, it is best to say that when buying your first property, there should be that feeling of security that your home and your family is in safe hands.

Property management is the operation, control, and oversight of real estate as used in its most broad terms.

You should also consider a property management body that will take better care of your property. A management body that has been in business for a number of years will have seen it all and will be able to confidently handle any problems that arise with your property quickly and efficiently.

Primavera Residences is the perfect example of what you totally need in buying your first property. May it be an investment or a home, rest assured that all of these considerations are prioritized.

Primavera Residences, a multi-awarded sustainable development, is located in uptown Cagayan de Oro, basically in the prime spot of Pueblo de Oro Business Park.

The developer, Italpinas Euroasian Design and Eco-development Corporation, is an Italian-Filipino property developer known for its advocacy for, and practice of, sustainable architecture and development which is known of their multi-disciplinary approach (power and real estate) as well as their professional and cultural connections.

The Advantages of Condo Living

Posted by Stefan on

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?

XUHS ’74 Conducts Successful Chess Tournament at Primavera

Posted by Stefan on

On their ruby anniversary, XUHS batch 1974 started their activities with a Chess tournament at Primavera Residences.

“Chess was a popular sport back in our high school years. It was one of the most sought-after game before, during and after class hours,” Engr. Cesar Causin, Sports Coordinator, said.

“40 years of family and friendship, it is our privilege to organize this year’s alumni homecoming this November 29, 2014 at the Limketkai Atrium,” Causin shared.

Back to the years where rhythm and blues are famous, it will be relived as they continue to inspire young generations to treasure friendship they have created within the limits of Xavier University High School.

To start their Ruby anniversary celebrations, XUHS bacth 1974 chose to kick off their activity at the multi-purpose hall of Primavera Residences.

“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.

Put on your best #OOTN (Outfit of the Night) and dancing shoes, and go crazy in Cagayan de Oro’s nightlife. The city offers anything from jazz bars, trendy venues and hip clubs. And the best part: most places stay open ’til the sun comes up!

The city has been known for its eco-tourism spots and rising economy, however, some people might not know of the city’s growing number of venues for a bustling night life. Whether you’re into chill-out music, lots of dancing, coffee, cocktails or wine, Cagayan de Oro has all the fun you are looking for.

Music

Kagay-anons, like the rest of the Filipinos, are huge music enthusiasts. Frequenting karaoke places, acoustic bars, and even spur-of-the-moment sing-along with friends on the streets, that’s just how we are—music runs in our veins.

To date, there are more than 20 KTV bars in Cagayan de Oro that cater to the singing talents of every Kagay-anon. Concert kings and queens? You can find them scattered in different KTVs all throughout the metro!

Some of the famous spots are in the areas of Divisoria, Corrales and The Lifestyle District, namely, Willsbar Music and Video, VSuites, Chills Music and Video Family KTV Bar, Gabs Family KTV Bar, LED KTV Bar, Microphone Hero and Wat Ever Family KTV Bar, to mention some.

Bars and Clubs

Cagayan de Oro’s rising economy has brought the city’s bar scene to new heights. For tourists and locals alike, it is inevitable to go out during weekends to grab a drink, have a chitchat and de-stress, but expect a huge crowd during weekends. Kagay-anons love to take a break during weekends, so if you want to sample the the city’s nightlife, make sure to come in your best attire and prepare to see and be seen!

Here are some of the popular bars to get wild and have a whopping good time:

For house music fanatics, you might feel at home at Pulse Live Music Venue and The Beat. Both may be found in Divisoria. The newly launched CDO Bar at the Paseo del Rio strip and Illest at The Lifestyle District has been hyping up the city’s night crowd during weekends, too.

The Lifestyle District along Corrales Street, Rosario Arcade in Limketkai Center and bistros along J.R. Borja Extension offer the best hangout places to spend a cozy evening in.
