“The vast majority of people say they want to live
near nature and lush greeneries.”
This statement from US-based
publication Livable Places Update reflects how, for those living in
cities, to have wide open landscaped grounds and to have nature
within easy reach is the ultimate aspiration.
Community Innovations Inc. (CII),
a wholly owned-subsidiary of Ayala Land, seeks to fulfill the city
dweller’s dream of living close to nature with their first
residential community project in Manila, the Celadon Park San Lazaro.
Newly inaugurated, Celadon Park is a three-tower condominium
community with a feature that is unique to it: 7,000 square meters
of lush, landscaped open-space.
As proven by how property values
rise in areas where a park is built, the global trend is to live in
places near greeneries. Guided by this reality, Community
Innovations was determined to build Celadon Park in the heart of
Manila’s Santa Cruz district. Creating a development like Celadon
Park in the middle of Manila therefore, was a conscious decision on
the part of the company.
As Grace Santa Ana, project
development manager of CII, explained, “Given Manila’s generally
dense environment, we wanted to offer something new and unique—a
breathing space. This is something rare since land values in Manila
are high; offering greens and open spaces is not an option.”
Besides developing the
12,000-square-meter open space, the company, as Santa Ana pointed
out, also deemed it important to equip the development with
top-notch facilities to achieve the company’s
oasis-in-the-middle-of-the-city vision for the development. As such,
Celadon Park will have resort-style swimming pools, children’s
outdoor play areas, picnic grounds, palm trees dotting the 7,000
square meters of lush greens at the ground floor, and a huge
function room that can hold up to 200 guests. On top of this, it
will also have an amphitheater, and a fully-equipped fitness center
comprising an additional 5,000 square meters of open space on the
5th floor podium.
Ayala Property Management
Corp.’s concierge and property management services will also be
offered to complete what Santa Ana described as the “resort-like
environment” CII wanted for the high-rise development.
The inauguration of the Celadon
Park’s showroom and model units was held with a Mass celebrated by
Fr. Makairog Reyes, SJ and a ceremonial signing of the design
philosophy statements by the interior designers Ana Rocha and
Cynthia and Ivy Almario.
The showroom and model
units of Celadon Park San Lazaro is open for viewing near SM San
Lazaro For inquiries, call 796-0888, e-mail cii-sales@ayalaland.com.ph,
