One Manchester Place Soon To Advance In The Mactan Newtown

Megaworld recently announced that The Mactan Newtown will have another condominium masterpiece to launch, in the name of One Manchester Place. Just like all of the other projects made by Megaworld, One Manchester Place will be fulfilling the concept of “live-work-play.”

One Manchester Place Condominium Cluster

Megaworld is the largest BPO and condominium landlord in the country today. They have made their mark by launching projects that cater the fusion of living, working, and playing in one township as well as giving their clients the scenic view from their properties. One Manchester Place will be highlighting the very best view in Mactan, the view which shows the Mactan Shrine, Magellan Bay, and Hilutungan Channel.

“We see a growing demand for residential condominiums in the island so we are aggressively expanding the residential component of our township. During the past year, we have easily sold out our two residential clusters, 8 Newtown Boulevard and One Pacific Residence. This is a clear indication of a strong, vibrant market for residential condominiums in Mactan Islands,” explains Noli D. Hernandez, president of Megaworld Cebu Properties, Inc.

President praises Megaworld for Newtown; Cebu, too, for its skilled workers

By Elias O. Baquero

Thursday, February 21, 2013

PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino III reiterated a promise to make it easier for business owners to transact with the government and to avail themselves of competitive incentives.

He made the assurance in his speech during the unveiling yesterday morning of the Mactan Newtown, the flagship project in Cebu of Megaworld Corp.

“This is your first such (township-type) project outside Metro Manila, and the people from around here can assure you that you’ve made the right choice,” the President said.

“If there is any place where you can replicate your success in such projects in Metro Manila, it’s here in Cebu. The workers you will find here are skillful, creative, lighthearted, while possessing an unshakeable pride in the quality of their work,” he also said.

On the second day of his visit to Cebu, the President skipped a political sortie in Liloan town and instead went to Mactan. There, he thanked Megaworld executives, led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Tan, for investing in Cebu, creating jobs and providing facilities for more tourists.

Experience a luxurious and comfortable life + affordable rates and plans.

Malacañang issued in June last year its Proclamation 407, declaring the 16 hectares of land owned by Megaworld in Mactan as a special economic zone.

Tan, in his speech, said the company is investing P20 billion for the project. He commended the Aquino administration for attracting more foreign retirees to the country.

Japanese retirees make up the bulk of buyers of two condominiums that Megaworld launched last year, 8 Newtown Boulevard and One Pacific Residence, the company said in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange.

The President has instructed the Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA) under General Manager Ernie Atienza and the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (Peza) to help Megaworld.

Higher target

The PRA processes documents of retirees who want to invest and reside permanently in the Philippines. Peza supervises economic zones.

“We see the Mactan Newtown as a major driver of growth for Lapu Lapu City and Cebu in general in terms of job opportunities, sports and recreation, retail shopping and of course, tourism,” Tan said.

President Aquino also reported the revised tourism target of 56.1 million travelers by 2016. That, after the tourism department confirmed that in 2011, the Philippines recorded 37.5 million domestic travelers.

“Just to put this number into perspective, this already surpassed our original 2016 target of 35.5 million domestic travelers…By then (2016), we expect that we will need more than 37,000 additional rooms in our destination clusters, which include Cebu,” Aquino said.

“Suffice it to say: we fully intend on sending more guests to hotels in Cebu—guests who will be riding in your boats, buying your dried mangoes, and eating your famed Cebu lechon. So, to Megaworld: If you have some extra space here after all your buildings are done, you cannot go wrong with building another hotel.”

Megaworld Doubles Mactan Newtown Investment To P20-B

February 20, 2013, 8:03pmBy Malou M. Mozo and Madel Sabater Namit

LAPU-LAPU CITY, Cebu – President Benigno S. Aquino III vowed to “maintain” a “business environment” that will further attract more investments in the country and could propel the domestic economy to higher levels.

The President made this assurance at the inauguration of Mactan Newtown, a 20-hectare township development project of Megaworld Corp. on the back of the announcement by Andrew L. Tan, chairman and chief executive officer of the real estate firm, that he will double the investments for its first project in Cebu to P20 billion spread in the next five to seven years.

“Across all sectors, our administration, in the coming weeks, months, and years, will continue giving you reasons to invest in the Philippines and to stay in the Philippines – and so will the Filipino people, as they always have. We will maintain the business environment that has led to investments like this,” the President said.

He stressed the government will continue to provide a level-playing field for both foreign and local investors “make it easier for companies to set up shop here, or to expand, as you are doing today.”

“Since assuming office, we have made a point to make it easier for companies to set up shop here, or to expand, as you are doing today. We are making sure that we provide competitive incentives to those investing in our priority sectors; and we are making sure that the keys to success in our country are hard work and innovation, and not simply a willingness to connive with crooks,” Aquino said.

He described the Mactan Newtown project as one sign of the country’s growing economy, which has vast trickle down effects from job creation to perking up activities of the other economic sectors.

“These projects are helping to grow the economy in ways that can be felt by ordinary people. Once this is completed, many of the businesses that will be established here will create tens of thousands of jobs for the local community both direct and indirect,” Aquino said.

He expressed optimism that more similar infrastructures will rise outside Metro Manila.

Driven by the strong optimism in Cebu’s economic landscape, Tan said Megaworld, one of the country’s leading real estate players, has doubled its investment from P10 billion to P20 billion for Mactan Newtown, a sprawling mixed-use commercial development expected to be completed within the next six years. It aims to duplicate Eastwood City in Libis, Quezon City, which is a mix of residential, and office condominiums, malls, hotel and business process outsourcing (BPO) centers.

“In the next five to seven years, we are investing P20 billion pesos in this township to build luxury residential condominiums, office towers, a world-class lifestyle mall, our very own Richmonde Hotel and soon- a sports and leisure facility,” Tan said.

The Mactan Newtown is said to be the biggest project so far of Megaworld in the southern Philippines. The township is inspired by the “live-work-play” concept. For this specific project, Megaworld has partnered with the Philippine Retirement Authority, allowing foreigners who want to retire at the Mactan Newtown to get a special resident retiree’s visa.

Aquino lauded Megaworld’s big ticket investment as it reinforces the Philippines’ capability to lure more investors both foreign and local. The President said that infrastructure projects like Mactan Newtown is a viable checkpoint for the Philippines having been recognized as “the next tiger of Asia.”

“Projects like this are valuable checkpoints for us — showing that, indeed, we have made progress. We are extremely thankful to companies like Megaworld — for nourishing the Philippines towards becoming the next Asian Tiger, by actually opening their checkbooks to make serious bets on our country. Nothing says confidence like P10-billion in investments. Nothing says confidence like planning to complete up to 14 buildings in the span of less than three years,” he said.

The President also expressed hope that he will lead the inauguration of the Mactan Newtown before the end of his term in 2016 and make a tour of the area as a regular tourist when he steps down in 2016.

“I am hopeful that this complex can be finished ahead of schedule — hopefully before July in 2016 — so that I can pay another visit to this beautiful place during my term, and if that isn’t possible, perhaps I can do so as a regular tourist and I can spend a lot more time here,” Aquino said.

According to Tan, a new residential cluster will be launched this year.Two luxury residential condominiums were launched in 2012- 8 Newtown Boulevard and One Pacific Residence-both are already sold out mostly to Japanese retirees.

As a cyberpark, Mactan Newtown is expected to generate employment for 25,000 full-time BPO workers in the next five to seven years.

“Two BPO companies- EnfraUSA and Results Manila, are ready to start their operations by April,” Tan said, adding that both are first-time locators in Cebu and will employ a combined 1,400 workers.

These companies will occupy the five-story One World Center, the first office tower to rise in the township.

Jericho Go, Megaworld first vice president for business development and leasing group, said that with the first office building already fully leased out, Megaworld will begin construction of its second BPO tower — Two World Center — this year, and is slated for completion in the first quarter of 2014.

Megaworld attracts big retiree market.

8 Newtown Blvd in Cebu December 22, 2011, 1:02am MANILA, Philippines — After successfully opening the market for residential condominiums to mid-income families and launching the business process outsourcing (BPO) office space segment in the industry, Megaworld Corporation blazes on another new trail, as it has started to capture a chunk of the huge market for retirees. With the soft launch of its 8 Newtown Blvd development in its 16-hectare The Mactan Newtown project in Cebu, “Megaworld hopes to attract foreign retirees and Filipinos who have spent decades working abroad to consider staying in the Philippines for their golden years. With the sensible design of our units and amenities that carefully take into consideration the needs of retirees, the company has come up with the benchmark for retirement communities in the country, after which all future developments will be compared,” said VP for marketing and project head Clifford Legaspi. Modern and minimalist are what best describe the architectural aesthetic of the project and its overall feel. The four 15-story buildings sport clean lines and a white façade. The four-floor podium level will host commercial spaces on the ground floor and BPO offices, while residential units will start on the fifth floor to the 15th level. Retirees can choose between executive studio units at approximately 40 sqm and one-bedroom units at about 50 sqm. All units come with balconies so that residents can enjoy the fresh sea breeze. Units can also be combined to two or three bedrooms for bigger living spaces. All units will be delivered pre-furnished with premium items such as LCD TV, split-type air conditioning, dining set and bed frame with mattress “to make it extremely convenient for our foreign and Filipino retirees to move in and feel at home in the Philippines,” according to Legaspi. Once they move in, residents will enjoy spending quality time at the fifth-level play deck. Watch the sun rise while swimming at the horizon-edge pool. Have a hot bath at the onsen room. Exercise their green thumbs at the Japanese garden. Meditate at the rock garden. Share stories at the tea room and do their flower arrangements at the ikebana room. And since this is a top retirement community, 8 Newtown Blvd will also host a Wellness Center that will address the residents’ medical and health requirements. The location of the project in The Mactan Newtown gives residents easy access to the beach, as the development is just beside Shangri-La Mactan and adjacent to Portofino Beach Resort. The Mactan International Airport is also just 10 minutes away, where they can catch flights to Hong Kong, Macau, Osaka or even Dubai. Other landmarks that are nearby, on the main Cebu island, that may be of interest to retirees are commercial establishments at Ayala Center and golf courses including Cebu Country Club and Alta Vista. “The new project offers everything that a retiree considers in a future home,” according to Legaspi. He also announced that Megaworld recently inked a partnership with the Philippine Retirement Authority to facilitate Special Resident Retiree’s Visa (SSRV) applications of qualified foreign clients through their investment at 8 Newtown Blvd.
