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.

Primavera Joins RealEXPO 2014

Posted by Jane on

 expo2

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.

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 Residences Invites you to Join Earth Hour 2014

Posted by Jane on

On the last Saturday of March every year, 7,000 cities and 152 countries switch off their lights for one hour in the biggest movement for the planet in the entire history of mankind.

We call this Earth Hour and it closely coincides with the equinox to make sure that the earth is blanketed in total darkness. More than just a symbolic action of turning off the lights for one full hour, Earth Hour is a movement that aims to inspire individuals and organizations to take action in helping create a better future for the planet.

Earth Hour started seven years ago and the Philippines has been participating since 2008. In Cagayan de Oro, the first city-wide Earth Hour event was observed in 2009 with spectacular performances followed by the symbolic switching off of lights at Divisoria, Cagayan de Oro City.

 

How can you participate this year? 

There are different ways to participate, but first and foremost is to switch off the lights in your home and office from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm on Saturday, March 29.

Here are other ways to support Earth Hour.

  1. Spread the word and be an Earth Hour advocate. Tell your friends, family, colleagues, and everyone you know to switch off. You can do this through your social media accounts. In Facebook, there is an app called City Switch Off that you can use to invite your friends.
  2. Join the Earth Hour celebration at SM City CDO. Fanfare, performances, and loads of fun and entertainment await you at SM City Cagayan de Oro. Bring your friends and family and join the countdown to 8:30 PM!

 

In uptown Cagayan de Oro, Primavera Residences, the multi-awarded green property in Mindanao will take part in Earth Hour 2014. You too can do your share and be a superhero for the planet, just like this year’s Earth Hour ambassador Spider-Man. But remember to do your part and make a difference not only for that one hour, but beyond Earth Hour as well.

Girl Rising: A Movie Review

Posted by Primavera Residences on

 GirlRising

Girl Rising: A Movie Review

There is always something about documentaries that really touches me every time I watch them. Probably because it talks about real stories and comments from actual events and people involved.

Watching the documentary ‘Girl Rising’ truly moved me. The film has so much power and determination to change the world by educating girls. It is one of the best documentaries I have seen. And it’s perfect for women’s month celebration. The film doesn’t make you cry, it just makes you realize that a girl has immense power to be an advocate of change through education. An educated girl moves economies, as the movie emphasizes.

I like the way the documentary is presented. It highlights the stories of nine girls from nine different countries, each of them pursuing their dream of getting good education. You can see how they longed to be in school regardless of their situation. No money issues, cultural issues or other potential social problems can prevent them from attending school, and watching them is just so inspiring. And so, after watching it, I got to tell myself that I am just so lucky to be raised by parents who sent me to a good school.

I especially like the choice of narrators: Oscar awardees Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep, Disney icon Selena Gomez, and popular actress Anne Hathaway, among others. Their voices kept me engaged throughout the entire documentary.

Of all the nine girls’ stories, Wadley’s story was what amused me the most. Born and raised in Haiti, Wadley, about nine years old, was exposed too early in life to tragic circumstance when a high-magnitude earthquake badly hit Haiti. She had fun in school until an unfortunate event caused her to stop her education. Wadley’s mom can no longer afford to send her to a makeshift learning center but that didn’t stop her from attending the class, despite being shooed away by the teacher for not paying school tuition. The cutest part was being insistent in staying, almost to the point of arguing with her teacher, until she won. Now that’s a brave little girl!

Girl Rising is more like a movement than just simply telling stories of girls and their determination towards good education. It is a campaign to encourage girls all over the world to become empowered through education in order to help make a good change in their societies.
