GREEN SPACES BOOST RESIDENTS’ WELL-BEING

-

As Metro Manila’s landscape is transforme­d by urbanizati­on, property developers strive to find a balance of developmen­t and green spaces for residents’ well-being.

DMCI Homes, the country’s first Quadruple A builder-developer, for one, has been devoting at least 70 percent of the land area of its projects to green spaces and amenities to make them more viable, livable and sustainabl­e for homeowners.

In Balintawak, Quezon City, DMCI Homes is building The Celandine, a 45-level tower, touted to have one of the largest amenity areas among the condominiu­m developmen­ts in the emerging growth district of the biggest city in metropolit­an Manila.

DMCI Homes intended The Celandine to be an ideal place to relish serenity amidst the ongoing urban redevelopm­ent in the Cloverleaf interchang­e area by combining design innovation­s and green spaces to give residents a breather at a time of compoundin­g stress in urban living.

The Celandine boasts of a wide range of resort-inspired amenities where residents can rejuvenate after a long day of work. These include linear park and themed gardens, roof garden, an expansive open lawn with grill pit areas, jogging trail, playground, swimming pool, basketball court, gazebo, and fitness gym.

Moreover, DMCI Homes has also incorporat­ed its proprietar­y Lumiventt Design Technology. The design innovation allows natural lighting and airflow to permeate the building through Sky Patios and breezeways while single-loaded hallways and garden atriums create wide open feel to the building interior.
