Manila Standard - The Rio Tower is making condo living a richer experience at The Capital Towers as the third of Federal Land’s upscale residential development along E. Rodriguez Sr. avenue, Quezon City promises a carefree and vibrant lifestyle in the tradition of one of the world’s most festive cities.
Inspired by Brazil’s mardi gras city of Rio de Janeiro, the Rio Tower replicates the celebratory mood of the famous carnival by giving homeowners and their relatives and friends continuous fun and excitement whether they are inside their luxurious condo unit or in the indoor and outdoor amenities.
“The Rio Tower, just like the Rio Carnival, is a symbol of people coming together and enjoying each other,” according to Federal Land president Alfred V. Ty.
Rio has its own amenities in the 7th floor that guarantee residents and guests zero boredom. The swimming pool and poolside deck brings out the resort-type spirit of Rio Tower by offering relaxation or serving as a party venue.
There’s also a function room, which can accommodate a family gathering. Children can have fun all day at their own play area while adults can enjoy billiards and table tennis at the game room. Other first-class amenities are a jogging path, gym, daycare center, commercial arcade and a view deck.
Rio’s 23- to 26-square-meter studio unit, 36- to 39-square-meter 1-bedroom unit, and 41- to 42-square-meter 2-bedroom unit are perfectly snug and functional for a startup family or professional. Each Rio unit has a living and dining area and bedroom with laminated wood plank flooring while the kitchen and toilet and bathroom have ceramic tile floors.
At 42-storey’s tall, the Rio Tower affords high zone residents a view of Antipolo in the east, Manila Bay in the west, northern Manila in the north and the Makati skyline in the south. There are four elevators to serve all residents. The building is also equipped with an automatic fire suppression system, fire detection alarm system, emergency power generator and sewage treatment plant.
Location enhances the Rio Tower’s festive offerings with bar-hopping and gig-watching options in the nightlife strip of nearby Tomas Morato and Timog Avenues. Shopaholics also have easy access to the Gateway and Ali Mall in Cubao and the Greenhills Shopping Center in San Juan. Everything else is near from hospitals to schools.
The Rio Tower will be the culmination of The Capital Towers, which comprises two other residential buildings perched on podiums: the Athens and Beijing. The Athens Tower has been completed while construction of the Beijing Tower is currently in full swing, and is scheduled for completion by next year. The 35-storey Beijing Tower is also offering bigger units and the innovative myHOBS concept or units that can be converted into a home, an office or a shop.
The Rio Tower is scheduled for construction by mid 2013 and is targeted for completion in 2016, when Rio de Janeiro in Brazil hosts the 31st Olympiad.
