A perfect hub on the fast lane

At the heart of the bustling Pioneer area in Mandaluyong City will soon rise Robinsons Land Corp.’s (RLC) answer to the clamor for that one perfect hub on the fast lane, the Two Gateway Place.

Certainly, One Gateway Place, Gateway Garden Ridge and Gateway Garden Heights, RLC’s residential condominiums in the six-hectare Robinson’s Cybergate City in Mandaluyong, are not enough to house the growing number of urban professionals.

“The Two Gateway Place is a 33-story residential building, the prime strength of which is its strategic location between Edsa, Makati and Ortigas,” says Mybele Aragon-GoBio, vice president for business development of RLC. “As you know, Robinsons Land is transforming the Pioneer area into a satellite business district.”

No doubt located in one of the best spots in the metro in terms of accessibility, the Two Gateway place is strategically located within 10 minutes away from major cities such as Quezon, Pasig, Makati, Taguig and Mandaluyong, making it an ideal hub, not to mention a good investment, for urban professionals.

“The building has 331 units and around 258 parking slots. The parking lot alone is already a nice feature of Two Gateway place because it’s rare that there’s almost a one to one ratio between the unit holder and the parking space,” adds Aragon-GoBio.

According to Frederick Go, RLC president and chief operating officer, despite the alarming economic situation in the country, they are definitely not slowing down. Naturally, however, they are now more careful in terms of what projects to launch.

“The project is expected to be completed by December 2012,” confirms Aragon-GoBio. “And we will have our groundbreaking by 2010. The company is well-known for for its track record of finishing projects on time and on schedule.”

Targeting, of course, the BPO market, Aragon-GoBio says they are also looking at those who buy properties to rent out. “It’s a growing market these days. They buy the unit and rent it out. It’s a good investment, too!”

Living in the heart of Robinsons Cybergate City is literally living with luxury at your doorstep. Adjacent to the best facilities and amenities for which Robinsons Land is known, the Two Gateway Place offers everything that an active lifestyle deserves: 24/7 indulgence. The place is designed in such a way that technology co-exists with nature beautifully: Wi-Fi hot spots and state-of-the-art architecture go hand-in-hand with well-landscaped gardens and walking paths. A magnificent gazebo, barbecue pits, a children’s playground, a huge swimming pool and 24-hour security complete the delightful experience.

When asked if they have no plans of slowing down given the tight economic situation in the country today, just like Go, Aragon-GoBio sees it as another opportunity to innovate. “All the more that we try to come up with creative concepts to make things more affordable for the clients,” she says.

With urban professionals in mind, the Two Gateway Place embraces minimalism in its design, but maximizes the use of open spaces, giving its customers the options of owning a one-, two- or three-bedroom units ranging from 64 square meters up to 88 square meters. And with easy payment plans and packages, it’s a sure way to entice even the youth to start investing themselves.
