PARAMOUNT Property Ventures Inc. (PPVI) is set to open its newest project dubbed Vizkaya Zen Residences, in Minglanilla, Cebu, with a unique twist—safe homes.

All house types in this community will have basic integrated security alarm systems from the Security and Systems Monitoring Inc. (SSMI).

“Vizkaya is the first development in Cebu that incorporates the basic integrated security alarm systems on the houses with the 24/7 option of monitoring and notification via SSMI,” said Arli Arenas-Vergara, who heads the sales and marketing department of PPVI.

SSMI, a Cebu-based firm, is a 24-hour security and monitoring provider with more than 3,000 household alert and notification subscribers.

Arenas-Vergara said they want to introduce a new feature for their units in Vizkaya.

The Vizkaya houses will cost from P2.1 million to P6 million depending on the house type and lot size. The prices include the basic device for the alarm system.  The 24/7 alert and notification system, however, is available for a yearly subscription.

In case of emergencies, the SSMI’s Central Monitoring Station will receive a notification and a specific protocol is followed to address the situation. The notification and coordination may be made with the local police station, local bureau of fire protection or the homeowner.

Vizkaya offers four house types—Kyla (townhouses), Uri (two-bedroom models), Zia (three-bedroom models)and Rya (four-bedroom models).  All units are two-story structures with two bathrooms, a balcony and car garage.

This new community is also resort-inspired with amenities such as a swimming pool, pocket zen gardens, pavilion, jogging trails, and basketball court.

Marcelino Relampagos, the Business Development officer of PPVI, said they are eyeing some 121 households in the 2.2-hectare Vizkaya project.

To date, Arenas-Vergara said they are issuing priority checks for interested buyers.  Out of the 121 target homeowners, 30 units are already sold with Uri as their fast-selling house type.

PPVI will launch Vizkaya on Oct. 28 at the City Sports Club.

Relampagos disclosed they are allotting a P45-million budget for the land development of Vizkaya.

Roy Lumayag, who heads PPVI’s Technical Operation, said site development will start next month.

Completion of the project usually takes about two years and the turnover of units to owners is three years, said Relampagos.

Located in Calajo-an, Minglanilla, Vizkaya is PPVI’s fourth residential project. The three other projects were Coral Bay Residences, Fonte di Versailles and Mazari Cove, also in the same town.

Except for Vizkaya, the other communities are known for their beachfront views.

PPVI is into real-estate business for six years now with its first project (Coral Bay Residences) constructed in 2006.

CEBU, Philippines – Taking advantage of the dynamic property market in Cebu, Paramount Property Ventures Inc., (PPVI) adds another investment to its subdivision project portfolio with the introduction of the 2.2 hectare Vizkaya Subdivision in Calajoan, Minglanilla, Cebu.

PPVI, which is operated and managed by the Ancesa Aselco Ventures, is spending at least P45 million for the horizontal development alone of this chic housing community, which is envisioned to provide residents with wellness and tropical living lifestyle.

The company’s head for sales and marketing Arli Arcenas-Vergara said that this fourth residential project of PPVI will offer a total of 121 units, mixed with house and lot, and lot only packages.

Expected to be completed in two years, PPVI will start its development by November this year. As the company also bared its plan to enter into the condominium market probably by 2013.

At least two projects had been planned to be introduced by next year in Cebu, while it is currently negotiating for its expansion plans to build residential developments in Bohol, and Davao.

At present, PPVI has a total residential (house and lot) projects of over 1,000 units. In the next two years, the company projects to add 400 to 500 residential units.

The company has already developed three residential properties, mostly in the Southern part of Cebu—these are the 1.5 hectare Coral Bay, a pocket-residential project with 74 units; the Fonte Versailles, a nine-hectare Italian-designed beachfront housing project; and the latest Mazari Cove a six-hectare middle-end housing project located at Inagayan, Minglanilla.

In an earlier interview with PPVI president Abelardo “Junggie” Cañedo Jr., he said that the company has decided to maximize the potential of Cebu to attract property buyers from all over the world, highlighting the island-province’s strong attraction in sun, mountain and beach environment.

Like Hawaii, where most wealthy people have purchased vacation homes, Cebu will also provide products that will maximize its beach and the tropical attraction.

Developing resort-home projects in the far-flung municipalities in the province could drum-up interest from the retirees all around the world, seeking for quite and rural-like environment within a world-class village facility.

One of the three projects being planned by the company is the creation of a retirement-home, in the farther south of Cebu. Although, the joint-venture deal is not yet final, Cañedo reiterated that the company is committed to invest on projects that will re-enforce Cebu’s bid becoming a second-home destination.

Educated in the United States, Cañedo expressed his faith in Cebu’s real estate industry, saying there is limitless growth potential in this industry, provided that the market will not be limited for local property buyers, but will include the foreign property investors, and vacationers.

A LOCAL real estate developer is aiming to add at least 500 residential units in Cebu in the next two years as it introduced its third house and lot project in Minglanilla town in Southern Cebu.

Arli T. Arenas-Vergara, sales and marketing head of Paramount Property Ventures, said the Minglanilla project called the Viskaya Zen Residences, would be part of the firm’s expansion plans for Cebu.

Vergara said the firm was very confident of the Cebu market based in its experience with its three pasts projects – Coral Bay, Fonte di Versailles, and Mazari Cove.

“Our Coral Bay project with 74 units is sold out, Fonte de Versailles has 232 units and about 65 percent of that is sold while our Mazari Cove with 400 units is 80 percent sold out.” She said.

Their new project called Vizkaya Zen Residences will have 121 units located in a 2.2 hectare property in Calajaan, Minglanilla, Cebu.

“All our existing projects are located in Naga and Minglanilla which are south of Cebu because the owners are from Minglanilla and they are also very confident about the prospects of developing projects in the area because of South Road Property,” she said.

Vizkaya Zen Residences will be the first residential project in Cebu that will feature a Basic Intrusion Alarm System provided by SSMI or Security and Systems Monitoring, Inc.

“With this project we hope to attract the higher middle class market,” she said.

The firm is also targeting expats, foreign nationals and overseas Filipino workers for their three project in Cebu.

Mar Relampagos, a company official, said the Cebu real estate industry was expected to continue growing with more players coming in to introduce their products to the Cebuano market.

“Based on the data from HLURB (Housing and Land  Use Regulatory Board) there are about 45 more projects applying for permits here in Cebu, which only shows how confident developers are about the market” Relampagos said.

He said this was the reason for the expansion of 500 residential units on top of the 1,000 units provided by its three other projects.

Roy Vincent Lumayag, another company official, said they were studying plans to go into the condominium market.

“We are still looking at the plans and negotiating with land owners as of this time but we will definitely go into vertical projects  perhaps in 2013,” said Lumayag.

The firm also plans to expand outside Cebu particularly in Bohol and Davao, which have growing real estate markets.

“While Cebu remains an attractive market to tap, we thought that we can also start expanding outside to also offer our products to the huge and still untapped market in these areas,” Lumayag said.

He said the expansions outside Cebu might happen next year.

Everything is unbelievably expensive these days. Prices of commodities, from luxury items to the basic necessities of life, are constantly soaring, prompting us to work real hard to cope with the difficult times. We give our all because even when times are tough because we still want to give the best to our families; and the best starts with a comfortable home.

Houses, one of the basic needs of man, however are likewise becoming too costly, so they say. But this is only partly and relatively true. Yes, buying a home requires a bigger investment. But isn’t this precisely why we are turning nights into days? To be able to live life and not just exist, to be able to buy a home, not just a house.

Like anything else, buying a house that we can call a home requires a smart move. One must be wise enough to select a smart home. In the West, a smart house is an “intelligent” house that has highly advanced automatic systems for lighting, temperature control, multi-media, window and door operations, and security. But for developing countries like the Philippines, a smart home is one that can cover the family’s needs and wants with a price tag just within reach.
Fortunately, some developers of residential communities in Cebu, Philippines, like Paramount Property Ventures Inc. (PPVI) are sensitive enough to see the need to build practical yet comfortable homes. Its developments—Fonte di Versailles, Coral Bay and the Mazari Cove—have elegant homes built with utmost efficiency. PPVI combines the ideal and practical with beauty and aesthetics to create communities of “beauty with a purpose.”

With residential communities such as these, one after all may forget just existing and experience smart living.

The tropical climate in Asia challenges home designers in this part of the world. While most houses in the West are designed to retain heat to protect its inhabitants from the cold weather, houses in Asia should be designed to keep the heat from the inside.

Indeed climate in the tropics maybe quite uncomfortable at times. But this is exactly why people from the Western side of the world come to countries in Asia such as the Philippines – to experience the heat of the sun, which seems to be elusive in their own homes. Some foreigners come to the Philippines, for a while; while some bravely decide to stay for good. This is why it is imperative that these people, who chose to make our country their second home, are able to find houses distinctly designed to counter the discomfort of the tropical heat.

Important of all is finding the perfect location for the house. A place with a generous breeze should be a consideration. This should be away from the crowded city, somewhere in the countryside, but not too rural though so as to be kept abreast with the development.

Since Cebu, Philippines, has been a popular choice of foreigners as their second home, high-end residential developers in Cebu, such as Paramount Property Ventures Inc. (PPVI), have always been taking the tropical heat into account in their every projects.

PPVI’s residential developments Fonte di Versailles, Coral Bay and the Mazari Cove are consciously located some 500-meters south of Metro Cebu. But the light traffic through the South Road Properties makes it just 20 minutes away from the bustling metropolis.

To maintain the cooling effect, PPVI’s residential communities are surrounded with trees and plenty of water. The houses are designed to take advantage of the breeze with wide windows, doors and eaves. With such premium developments, one can definitely have the best of both worlds – the heat when needed and the breeze to blow it when it becomes intolerable.

Relaxation, family or group bonding, surfing, and getting a skin tan are just some of the reasons why we all want to go to the beach. The beach is such a fun and alluring destination to enjoy and forget some of life’s madness, if only for a while.

But for some people, the beach is not just a once-in-a-while solace. Not only a place to go when the body and mind wants to unwind; but a lifestyle in its truest sense. To some, especially those who want to be in constant synch with their inner self, living on the beach is a way to keep their sanity in the midst of this crazy world.

A daily dose of the sound of the waves, the fine sand, the ocean breeze and the gentle heat of the ocean sun all make beachfront living an antidote to the never-ending challenges of life.

Waking up every morning to the whispering of the waves always make you smile and look forward to a productive day. Closing your eyes and retiring to its rhythmic splashes after a heck-of-a-day never fails to give that calming effect and allows you fully rejuvenate for the next day’s pursuits.

Walking on that fine sand and loving the feel of it on your bare feet; breathing in that fresh air while enjoying the soothing and healthy heat of the sun. Such beautiful experiences with nature are the reasons that life and all its perplexities should still be embraced with fervor.

The healthful benefits both to the body and the soul of beachfront living have prompted real estate developers in Cebu such as Paramount Property Ventures to concentrate their residential projects on beachfront communities.

Their residential developments Fonte di Versailles, Coral Bay and the Mazari Cove are waterfront communities that make families enjoy peaceful living and discover the difference of living closer to nature.

Who is not bothered by the rising number of cancer cases in the country today? Who is not disturbed by the emergence of viruses of “various strands,” as declared by medical people, which have caused untimely deaths especially of children?

These illnesses, among other air-borne ailments, which are strangers to our grandparents are the costs of the economic development that we all so desire. These are the unwanted price of the economic growth brought about by the establishment of some industries that are oblivious of the effects of their operation on the environment.

But these effects are inevitable as societies move on to do away with the primitive way of life and secure ways to a better and more comfortable living. This is the reason behind the birth and propagation of the concept of wellness lifestyle. Wellness allows one to lessen, if not totally avoid, the drawback of modernization.

The word wellness is practically everywhere. We hear it in the news, we read it in magazines, and we overhear it in conversations. The concept is quite abstract and its meaning varies from one group of people to the other. What is clear though is that wellness is healthy living manifested by one’s quality of life and a sense of well-being.

Wellness is not just about food, exercise, healthy diet, enough rest and sleep, and positive attitude. Wellness should encompass all of these in order to maintain that well-being. It is a total health package. Wellness is everything you are and everything you do. Wellness is a lifestyle—from the moment you open your eyes to the time you close it to retire for the day. From every word we utter to every element of the air we breathe. That is why wellness is easily achieved when one is in synch with nature.

Wellness is the very core purpose of every choice of location of the residential developments of real estate developer Paramount Property Ventures. All of its three residential communities– Fonte di Versailles, Coral Bay and the Mazari Cove — enable you to be one with nature and be aware of your inner being. Paramount consciously chooses the locations of these communities where the four elements—sun, air, earth and water—are unbelievingly present, thus, perfecting that wellness lifestyle.

Retirement is such a sweet word for people who have been working to catch their dreams for almost half of their lives. But when you withdraw for privacy or to end a career, you give up some important things in return. Things which you have been used to doing every day; Things which are already part of your daily existence.

From the time you declared how you want to live your lives, you also have spelled out how you want to retire. Retirement, indirectly, is the end-all of your endeavors. Everyday, for the last 20 to 30 years, you struggle to keep up with what life has in store for you. Each day, you chase the pot at the end of that rainbow. And now, after enduring life’s roller coaster of pain, joy, difficulty and comfort, you have gained your pot. You finally want to claim what is rightfully yours. What you have worked so hard for. You want to retire and take your break.

When one wants to relax and retreat into his comfort zone, whether temporarily or permanently, what matters most is location and environment. For peace of mind and spirit comes only in a peaceful and calm surrounding. A layback lifestyle in a nature-rich environment sets that perfect ambiance.

Quite a number of places all around the world are perfect for retirement. But none is as perfect as Cebu, the Queen City of the South; a favorite destination of people who want to revisit the true meaning of life. Cebu, one of the beautiful islands of the Philippines, is a melting pot of culture, economic development and nature. Not just one, but these three elements are perfectly weaved in Cebu, thus, creating a lifestyle that is modern yet traditional.

Beautiful beaches with long shorelines and white sands, mountains with forests of lushful greeneries, retail malls for non-ending shopping, variety of restaurants of international cuisine, superb spa and massage services, five-star hotels and most important of all, Cebuanos with that sought-after sincere smiles. These and many more splendid experiences are waiting for you in Cebu.

Retiring in Cebu is not just a dream with real estate developers like Paramount Property Ventures that have dedicated their existence in turning your dream into a reality. With prime subdivisions such as Fonte di Versailles, The Residences of Coral Bay and the Mazari Cove, you can definitely live your dream.

Live your dream. Live life. Come to Cebu. Live in Cebu.

In response to what it described as the strong demand for beachfront residential units, property developer Paramount Property Ventures will be launching another beachfront project in Inayagan, Naga City next month.

Paramount Property, which focuses on developments in southern Cebu, said the Mazari Cove in Naga is its third beachfront community project after Coral Bay and Fonte Di Versailles, which are both in Minganilla.

The company invested up to P50 million in Coral Bay and P130 million in Fonte Di Versailles. Coral Bay has 74 housing units that cater to the middle-end market. Fonte Di Versailles, on the other hand, has a total of 166 housing units that cater to the high-end market.

“For Mazari Cove, we are eyeing roughly P75 million as investment for the development of the project,” said Paramount Property Ventures president Abelardo Cañedo Jr. in a press briefing last Thursday.

Paramount Property Ventures sales and marketing head Gerald Lim Suan said they are targeting the middle-end market for the project. He said the price of the house and lot units ranges from P1.2 million to P2.5 million.

Trend

Mazari Cove is a 6.5-hectare beachfront community project that will have 371 housing units. The pre-selling of units is scheduled next month. “We have ventured into beachfront development because this is now the trend in the residential developments particularly in the United States. We wanted to inject the same trend in the country since the province is surrounded by beautiful beaches,” Cañedo said.

Beachfront developments, he said, are most preferred by buyers in the retirees’ market.

Paramount Property Ventures, which has been in the real estate business for five years, expressed optimism in the real estate industry this year.

“This is because of the strong uptake in real estate business, tourism and the expansion of business process outsourcing (BPOs) in the city,” Cañedo said. He added that aside from Mazari Cove, the firm will set aside P210 million to finance three other projects in the pipeline.

He said this will include a P120-million investment on four midrise condominium buildings in Mactan; a P40-million investment on a 3.5-hectare residential development and P50-million investment on another 2.5-hectare beachfront development all situated in the south.

“With the development of South Road Properties, the south part of Cebu province will now become the new residential haven,” he said.
