RIO TOWER: Carnival vibe at The Capital Towers


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.

Axis an ideal investment option

Malaya - Axis Residences, a joint venture between  Federal Land Inc.(FLI)  and Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC), is an attractive investment.

Located along Pioneer street, near EDSA Mandaluyong, Axis Residence is a two-tower property sprawled across 21,000 square meters of prime land.

Each tower has 42 floors, broken down into deluxe (24 sqm) and executive (48 sqm) residential cuts. Tower 1, which is due to turnover its units in July 2015, has 916 units, with 379 parking slots up for sale.

Axis Residences, the first joint project of real estate giants RLC and FLI, is designed by Casas and Associates and features amenities like an adult lap pool and deck as well as a kiddie pool, a fitness center, the only project with a  covered basketball/multipurpose court in the area, and landscaped gardens. It also has first rate building facilities like a standby power generator, elevators, smoke detectors, individual mailboxes, and an efficient garbage disposal system.

Axis Residences is close to the freeway and transport hubs, as well as top-flight schools, hospitals and churches. Malls, hotels and concert venues are also a stone’s throw away.

Office workers looking to cut down on their daily commute will find the proximity to transportation depots really practical.  Potential lessees are the thousands of business process outsourcing wokers and call center agents whose offices are within the Robinsons Gateway Complex (Forum).

Built on the quieter side of Edsa Mandaluyong, Axis Residences is ideal for start-up families and young professionals who want to stay in the thick of things without having to deal with a lot of urban drama.
Safety is emphasized with closed circuit cameras that are strategically placed to monitor common areas, and a reception area screens visitors before they are allowed to enter. Automatic smoke detectors, sprinkler systems and fire exits are also situated on every floor as precautionary measures.

Units are priced at  P1.92 million to P4 million. A low downpayment of P8,600 is offered and terms  terms can be stretched to 41 months.
