ONCE a sleepy town, Marikina has evolved into one of most
progressive cities in Metro Manila. Besides being the country’s
shoe capital, Marikina City has earned another moniker, “Little
Singapore.” Like the Lion City, Marikina is a place where age-old
traditions and cutting-edge innovations are greeted with the same
degree of enthusiasm.
Traipsing through Marikina, one cannot dismiss
the semblance- from the iconic landmarks (the Merlion in Singapore
and world’s largest shoes in Marikina) to the spotless streets and
effective traffic scheme. In terms of sightseeing, the two cities
offer a large plate for their visitors to choose from: museums,
recreational centers, theatres and nature parks. Both even boast
their own butterfly park. But what makes Marikina a “Little
Singapore” is not the pristine roads or the endless attractions
one can see. It’s the colorful contrasting ambiance. Step into one
part and one can feel the urban buzz, the unbridled energy that
comes with the bustling metropolis life. Escape to another area and
one is transported to a rustic, rural, laidback mood. This is what
makes Marikina an excellent community to live in and raise a family.
One exclusive residential community has opened
its doors in Marikina: Marquinton Residences, a project by Federal
Land.
True to its commitment, and with three decades
of experience in property development, the real estate arm of the
Metrobank Group, is pulling out all stops to make Marikina City the
next metropolis with the three-tower, mid-rise residential clusters
that is Marquinton Residences.
To date, two residential towers, Alicante and
Barcelona Towers, are already completed. The newest community, now
numbering to 215 residents, is enjoying the comforts of home and the
convenience of condominium living. Cordova Tower, the third
residential building is schedule for groundbreaking in May 2008. The
Blue Wave Marquinton and a Robinsons Supermarket are integrated in
the complex to provide the leisure, shopping and dining needs of its
residents.
Marquinton Residences offers urban lifestyle
amenities to its residents. Pocket gardens and picnic areas will
provide residents a cool and refreshing environment. Young and old
can enjoy a refreshing dip in the swimming pool.
A jogging path and biking trail will allow
residents to discover the benefits of healthy living.
Federal Land, Inc. is driven by its mission to
provide excellent and timely service in creating world-class
projects, and is guided by its vision of becoming a leading
developer of communities that provide an improved lifestyle for
Filipinos today and tomorrow. Likewise, the local government is
transforming Marikina into a modern and livable city. With the city
government and Federal Land’s parallel efforts, Marikina is seeing
the fruition of its aim to become the Little Singapore of the
Philippines.
A bustling community situated in a melting pot
of ideas and culture, Marquinton Residences helps make Marikina the
best place to experience Singapore without the air travel.
