We are also excited to open its doors, limited to its shared and common areas like the living room, kitchen, and adjacent rooms from Monday to Thursday only. With respect to Mr. Pangilinan, this does not include his personal and private space. We’d like our guests to have a glimpse of what it’s like to have an upscale beachfront residence at CaSoBe,” stated Landco Pacific Corporation and Millennial Resorts Corporation President and CEO Erickson Y. Manzano.

Chairman’s Cabin

The beachfront Chairman’s Cabin is launched as the crowning jewel of the leisure and hospitality attractions at CaSoBe, a haven for leisure seekers in a tourist community. This well-appointed 300-sqm villa is custom-designed for Mr. Pangilinan, Chairman, Landco Pacific and its parent company Metro Pacific Investments Corporation. With four bedrooms and modern amenities, the villa is versatile for relaxation, social gatherings, and business meetings. It also serves as the weekend beachfront home of Mr. Pangilinan.

Within a short two to three-hour drive from Metro Manila, and having a strong WI-FI connection and modern infrastructure within its vicinity, the Chairman’s Cabin is considered the favorite seaside residences of Mr. Pangilinan.

At this villa, a restful and productive weekend break for Mr. Pangilinan means an exclusive use of his private suite, access to fresh sea breeze, breathtaking sunset views, and enjoyment of Millennial Resorts amenities, balanced with work from the beach set-up.

For guest bookings, only the three bedrooms along with common area facilities of the Chairman's Cabin are offered from Monday to Thursday. The private suite is reserved exclusively for Mr. Pangilinan.

Cupola

Also launched were Cupola, a unique geodesic and dome shaped accommodation with its own toilet and bath, and private jacuzzi. Taking glamping up a notch, five units of Cupola are available for a luxurious beach getaway.

CaSoBe Lighthouse

Standing at 15.5 meters with a panoramic 360 degrees viewing deck, the CaSoBe Lighthouse was presented as the sprawling property’s newest landmark. It serves as a beacon to guide residents, tourists, and visitors to CaSoBe as the place they can call home.

Millennial Resorts Amenities

These new facilities complement the distinctive resort amenities already operational and managed by Millennial Resorts: Crusoe Cabins, the refitted container vans turned into accommodations with modern amenities and recognized as the first EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies)-certified resort in the country, and the pod-like Cocoons; Aquaria Water Park with three-story slides; the 300-capacity the Canopy events space; and Captain Barbozza restaurant.

CaSoBe

CaSoBe, is a master-planned development offering mixed-use residential and commercial lots situated in the rising business hub and beach tourist destination of Batangas. Setting it apart from other beach properties, CaSoBe elevates the resort lifestyle with inviting details such as blue roads, street art, and creative lamp posts.

The premium beach development is strategically located near golf courses, polo fields, and tourist attractions, earning Calatagan the moniker of being the playground of the affluent. Local facilities such as a hospital, public market, pharmacy, school, and chapel are likewise easily accessible.

All the lots at CaSoBe are literally within steps to the long stretch of powdery white sand beach. The property’s blue pavements are pleasing to the eye and in harmony with the environment of expansive clear skies and azure waters. There are tree-lined bike lanes and pathways parallel and leading to the shores.

Harbour Estates are mixed-use lots offered within CaSoBe. Entrepreneurs can live a healthy lifestyle and build their dream homes amid Calatagan’s rich history and famed sunset by the beach.

Transforming the landscape of Calatagan, entrepreneurs can invest in a property along the retail row and wear the hat of aspiring hoteliers or restaurateurs when they establish their bed and breakfast or cozy little café or restaurant to cater to the tourism market. They can also put up a shop for art workshops and yoga retreats, or a business for water sports enthusiasts.

CaSoBe is also poised to be a thriving creative, business, and tech community. Startup companies can engage in a collaborative and forward-thinking environment.

Investors in the residential or mixed-use lots of CaSoBe have the benefit of enjoying the anticipated increase of their investment’s market value as proven by Landco’s track record of property value appreciation in Punta Fuego, Batangas.

Landco Towers, Family-friendly Resort Condominiums South of Metro Manila

Tweet

Landco Towers at East Bay Residences, are modern resort condominiums in a laid-back neighborhood strategically situated at KM21 East Service Road, Sucat, Muntinlupa City. 

There are five Landco Towers that offer an ideal home for families to enjoy a leisurely pace of urban life amid a scenic resort landscape, the convenience of a retail strip and family-friendly facilities, and accessibility to business hubs and schools.

------------------------------------

Landco offers RFO (Ready for Occupancy) Units in East Bay Residences

------------------------------------

With a community built to make one’s family feel right at home, it is natural to pick the vibrant neighborhood of Landco Towers to settle down in, especially with the availability of RFO (Ready for Occupancy) units built by Landco Pacific Corporation. The Landco Towers in this mid-rise condominium enclave are comprised of Chelsea Towers 1 to 3 and Bryant Tower with 25.5 sqm. studio, 37.1 sqm. one-bedroom and 46.8 sqm two-bedroom units; and Hudson Tower which houses the 28.06 sqm. regular, 33 sqm. deluxe, 35.08 sqm. premier and 39.26 sqm. executive units.

Charisse Santiano, Sales and Marketing Manager, Landco, zeroed in on her perfect family home in a condo unit at Landco Towers. As a single mom, she shared her experience to help future condo buyers, and investors on their house hunt.

A pleasant community that is located near top-rated schools, business, and leisure hubs

Santiano decided to invest in a 2-bedroom unit at Landco Towers (then named Tribeca) in 2015 and move in a year after. The location and its environment are crucial factors when she determined her new home with her family. She deemed that children are very much a product of the environment in which they are raised. The condominium community is nearby high-performing schools, and individuals and families that live on the property are mostly professionals or business owners who also value hard work and integrity. Landco Towers are ideal homes for raising children.

“My children went to De La Salle Zobel from grade school to high school and travel time from my former home in Las Pinas was around 45 minutes to one hour due to the heavy traffic along Alabang-Zapote Road. As a hands-on mom, I used to bring them to and fetch them back from school, despite my full-time work. I grew tired of the daily grind and decided to transfer to Landco Towers to cut my travel time to about 15-20 minutes. My kids eventually transferred to the Vermosa campus of DLSZ, located along Daang Hari, which is very accessible from Landco Towers via the MCX (Muntinlupa Cavite expressway) exit,” Santiano said.

“For work, my office in Alabang is just 15 minutes away and I seldom get caught up in traffic jams. On weekends, when my family would like to go to the shopping mall or dine out, Makati, Bonifacio Global City and Alabang commercial hubs are very accessible via SLEX or Skyway. Sta. Rosa and Tagaytay are relatively nearby for out-of-town getaways. Batangas is approximately two to three hours away. Even the northern destinations such as Pampanga, Clark, or Subic are accessible via Skyway,’ she expounded.

“It's an added advantage that the resort condominium community is very peaceful and quiet, making long walks around the property enjoyable. Everyone is friendly here from my neighbors to the property management staff composed of the security, maintenance, and administrative team,” she added.

When one’s children are raised in a good neighborhood, parents give them a good head start in life and set for them a standard to follow when they are grown-ups and looking to start up their own families.

The Convenience of One-Stop-Shopping at East Bay Retail Row

Having access to shopping and service facilities that are within the property is very important for working parents who have busy schedules and might need to dash to the shop and rush back home to the kids. Landco Towers provide one-stop shopping without having to leave the property. The Retail Row is a few steps away from the residential towers and features curated shops, services, restaurants, and a bank: Starbucks Coffee, The MarketPlace, Lawson, Pan de Manila, Suds Go laundry, Prim and Pretty and BDO, to name a few.

“As a single mom with a full-time job, juggling my duties at work and responsibilities at home can be quite challenging. It’s hard to manage my time and I really appreciate the convenience of having almost everything that I need within my reach at the Retail Row,” Santiano attested.

“Laundry can be dropped off and picked up easily. I don’t need to leave the property to get essential items, a massage, or my nails done. There are also restaurants nearby that deliver meals within 15 minutes or so when I don’t have time to prepare,” she elaborated.

“At this stage in my life, my two children are now both graduating students of De La Salle University. JC, my 23-year-old firstborn son, is enrolled at the College of Saint Benilde, and Chloe, my 21-year-old daughter is at the university’s main campus. Though they often stay in a rented condominium in Manila during their studies, they still like to spend their free time with me at the Landco Towers. My son usually goes to The Marketplace premium grocery store at the Retail Row for its variety of healthy food choices. We like to engage in late-night runs and cap our activity with light refreshments from Starbucks coffee shop or Lawson convenience store which are also at the Retail Row,” she further shared.

Resort, Active Lifestyle and Essential Amenities

The amenities at the resort condominium complex also play a key role in the quality of life and health and safety of its residents. At Landco Towers, families enjoy a spacious lobby, clubhouse with a swimming pool, gym, 24-hour security, high-speed elevators, fire alarms, sprinkler system, and adequate parking space.

“We are a very active family. We love early morning or late evening runs around the outdoor resort-inspired spaces of the property. On warm days, I take a dip at the swimming pool which is amply sized and never feels crowded. My daughter likes inviting her friends to swim here. There are enough parking spaces for guests and visitors, making it convenient for family or friends coming over for a get-together,” she cited.

Pet-friendly Community

Landco Towers also host a thriving community of pet lovers. With its wide walkways and outdoor spaces, neighbors show their care for the furry kind with meet-ups for their pets to play with their fur friends.

Long-term Investment and High-Value Appreciation

Renowned for pioneering premium landscapes for more than 30 years, Landco develops premier properties with a track record of high property appreciation in key locations of the country. With its sophisticated urban resort living at Landco Towers, homebuyers can also anticipate high-value appreciation for their investments.

Santiano acquired her unit at Landco Towers when she was an employee of Landco about eight years ago, before she briefly transferred to PLDT and rejoined Landco last year.

“I had the privilege of being part of the team that mounted the groundbreaking ceremony and blessing of Landco Towers. As an employee, I know how Landco sets its vision to make a difference and our entire team works hard to develop properties throughout the country that are of the highest quality standard. The value of my unit at Landco Towers has already appreciated in a span of a few years, and I’m happy to consider it not just as a home for my family but also as a good long-term investment,” Santiano noted.

“There are also rental income opportunities for units at Landco Towers, given its strategic location, Retail Row, and resort amenities,” she added as a tip for home buyers and investors.
