Enjoy Shopping & Dining with Safety & Convenience at Ortigas Malls

Tweet

 As the country gradually eases out of the pandemic, more and more Filipino families are enjoying everyday trips to the mall, though still on “safe mode” – making only quick visits or hanging out mostly at nearby community malls which consistently enforce government health protocols.   

Leading mall operator Ortigas Malls believes many responsible shoppers these days feel more confident resuming their malling lifestyle at malls such as Greenhills, Tiendesitas, Estancia, and Industria. Aside from the high convenience factor they offer, mall-goers appreciate the consistent enforcement of safety protocols to keep staff and patrons safe, which after all is what being in a community is about.  

“At all Ortigas Malls branches, we take being part of a community to heart. Above everything else, we prioritize our mall guests’ health and safety, allowing them to worry less and enjoy more. To do this, we heavily invested on safety measures and work closely with our retailers. We also make sure to continually engage our patrons, reminding them to observe health protocols at all times. Health is everyone’s concern so we made sure to enforce our safety program as a community project,” said Arch. Renee Bacani, Vice President of Ortigas Malls.

Experience safe malling

Among the earliest mall chains to have 100% of its staff and employees inoculated and boosted, all Ortigas Malls branches also carry the local government unit’s Safety Seal Certification. The seal is issued only to establishments that strictly comply with the Inter-Agency Task Force health guidelines and policies, and is renewable every 6 months, subject to continued compliance.

On top of strict adherence to health protocols, Bacani said Ortigas Malls patrons also find their branches ideal for quick trips, as well as for enjoying specific leisure activities with the family. Each branch is located in highly accessible spots and has ample parking facilities. More than that, each branch offers a distinct shopping community experience that is both special and matchless. This means, customers never have to waste a lot of time wading through a maze of establishments they don’t intend to visit nor risk exposure with crowds they don’t intend to mingle with.

Get the perks of being an Ortigas Community Card  member  

Giving mall-goers that truly neighborly feel is the Ortigas Community Card, which grants card members exclusive privileges when they shop or dine from merchant members in all branches. They also get to enjoy extra perks including free parking and complimentary use of the customer lounge in Greenhills.

BeachTowns Rising as the Country’s Premier Investment: Landco Raises the Bar in Beachside Developments in Batangas

Tweet

Known for pioneering landscapes for more than 30 years, Landco raises the bar once again, offering a premier investment on its BeachTowns projects rising in Batangas.

There is a growing trend that the affluent are snapping up properties away from the city as the pandemic continues to fuel a work-from-home lifestyle that no longer tethers business owners and professionals at the office.

People see the value of working from a seaside environment. With the BeachTowns, it’s easier to have work-life balance, stay productive, live a healthier lifestyle and reenergize by the beach in the new setting.

“Having a property in these BeachTowns is something that homeowners and property investors can enjoy now as their dream beach house, second home or an exciting new business venture in the new normal. At the same time, it’s a long-term investment that appraises in value,” Landco Pacific Corporation CEO Erickson Y. Manzano stated.

One of Landco’s premium developments is Punta Fuego in Batangas which captured a solid footing in the upscale market. Its property appreciation is about 1,200 percent since it was launched.

“It’s the perfect time to invest in BeachTowns for its long-term property value appreciation, given Landco’s track record. It’s also a lasting legacy that can be passed on to the next generations, ensuring the well-being and financial security of many generations down the line,” he emphasized.

Setting a new standard for luxury beachside living, Landco BeachTowns are master-planned communities offering pristine white beaches, accessibility to the city, strong WIFI connection, world-class infrastructure, modern facilities and resort amenities.

Batangas is one of the top tourist and leisure destinations near Metro Manila and renowned as an idyllic beach getaway for city dwellers, weekend warriors and those who opt to work from the beach in the new norm. Captivating for its dive spots, stunning beaches, golf courses, historical and cultural attractions, fresh seafood, wellness sites, local culinary offerings and strong coffee, Batangas is the perfect location of Landco’s thriving Beachtowns. Only two to three-hour drive from Metro Manila, it’s more accessible compared to other tourist spots.

The Beachtowns provide a sense of balance away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and capture the best of what Batangas has to offer – balmy shores, seemingly endless stretches of white sand, incomparable crystal blue waters and easy access to modern resort facilities. It’s resort living at its finest.

In Calatagan, which is known as the playground of the affluent, its BeachTowns feature breathtaking view of sunsets, a laidback resort lifestyle, easy access to golf courses, equestrian clubs, dive spots, cultural and historical attractions.

The BeachTowns in vibrant Laiya, San Juan bustling with tourism in Batangas, are accessible to the rows of restaurants and bars along the white sand and caters to those with an active lifestyle from sailing, paddleboarding to yoga by the beach.

The properties provide the perfect seascape of their clients’ dreams, from exclusive residential beach communities of Playa Calatagan and Playa Laiya to the residential and commercial spaces in the inclusive seaside communities of Leisure Tourism Estates (LTE): CaSoBe and Club Laiya.

LTE are master-planned mixed use residential and commercial developments primed for the tourism market. These developments are for those who would prefer to be immersed in the middle of the vibrant tourist destination, mingle with leisure seekers and the sporty set; and have the option to build a dream business by the beach.

Sustainability at the Core of Landco BeachTowns

For decades, Landco has always been guided by its strong commitment to sustainability in its real estate developments and provided socially and environmentally responsible investment choices for its investors.

“Championing environmental stewardship, the over-all health and welfare of communities, and resource efficiency in our property developments which are aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, are at the heart of Landco’s operations especially in the BeachTowns, not because we have to, but primarily because it’s the right thing to do,” Manzano enthused.

Creating long-term sustainable value for its developments of BeachTowns in Batangas, its latest LTE: CaSoBe and Club Laiya are both LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) registered with its water recycling measures, permeable pedestrian tree-lined walkways, and scenic bike lanes around the beachside properties to reduce carbon footprints.

Recently, Millennial Resorts, which provides the hospitality facilities and services for its LTE, was awarded the very first EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) Certification for a resort hospitality project in the country, for its Crusoe Cabins at CaSoBe in Calatagan, Batangas.
