There comes a time in our lives when we yearn to leave our parents’ nest and fly on our own. While many of us enjoy the company of family and reminders of our childhood, the idea of striking it on our own has become the ultimate millennial adventure. To do this, we need more than a place where we can sleep and reside in. We need to find a space that will allow us to hone our talents, sharpen our skills and get our creative juices flowing. Such a home will help pave the way for us to become full-fledged adults, capable of maneuverin­g the world and pursuing our dreams.

The Maven in Capitol Commons is one such home that enables its residents to discover the best version of themselves. Primarily a residentia­l building, this upand-coming project by Ortigas Land uniquely offers a five-level amenity bar exclusive to its residents. This modern feature enables one to work, play and relax—all just a few steps away from one’s bedroom. If you’re eager to spread your wings and pursue your passions in your own new home, discover the wide array of amenities waiting for you at the Maven.

FOR THE DRIVEN DREAMER

Work is a fact of life that many of us have to face every day. That, however, doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy it especially nowadays when telecommut­ing and home-based work have become the norm.

The Maven provides motivating communal spaces for career-minded people. It has a dedicated work room where one can browse online, check emails and work in peace. There is also a meeting room that can host small groups wishing to discuss business privately. A craft room, meanwhile, has been built with creative entreprene­urs in mind. The room allows residents to conjure their latest artworks and designs in an inspiring, imaginativ­e environmen­t. Lastly, a chat room is available in the amenity bar. Taking cues from the design of cafés, this room provides the space for people to have casual or intimate chats with friends.

Whether you’re a budding executive or an innovative entreprene­ur, the Maven is set to welcome you in its own version of shared work spaces right next to your home.

FOR THE SOCIABLE HOST

No man is an island. That is why the Maven ensures that its amenities can cater to our need to mix and mingle, whether it’s with a couple of friends or a full-blown party group.

The party room at the Maven Amenity Bar is set to accommodat­e life’s best moments. From birthdays to baby showers, the space can be customized and arranged to cater to large and small gatherings.

Residents can avail themselves of a spacious hall where they can celebrate milestones with loved ones, safely and comfortabl­y. And with the Capitol Commons Park within view, you can be sure that you’ll be celebratin­g against a beautiful, nature-filled backdrop right in the middle of the city.

FOR THE FITNESS LOVER

Health is precious and must always be taken care of. The Maven recognizes this and enables its residents to pursue the healthy life by providing them state-of-the-art fitness facilities.

The fit room is a communal gym space where residents can work out and break a sweat. A nearby locker room ensures that your personal belongings are kept safe. Shower and changing areas are also present in the area, allowing you to easily change for the day’s work should you be pressed for time. Lastly, an infinity pool rests at the top of the amenity floors, serving as an oasis in the middle of urban living. Whether you’re looking to de-stress or train for an athletic competitio­n, the pool area flanked by lush greenery will definitely give you that much-needed swim in the best surroundin­gs.

FOR THE KID AT HEART

Of course, no amenity bar is complete unless there are provisions for fun and games.

For the kids and the kids-atheart, the Maven offers three entertainm­ent rooms where one can kick back and relax. A media room can serve as a makeshift movie theater, karaoke room or even a video game center. The game room, meanwhile, is for those looking for some old-school fun. Billiards, board games and other classic social pastimes can be enjoyed here. Lastly, the Maven has a specific Kids’ Room to cater to the young members of the community. With this kind of child-friendly space, parents will have no problem entertaini­ng their children while they socialize with neighbors in the area as well.

A COSMOPOLIT­AN HAVEN

With its diverse offerings of entertainm­ent, fitness and work spaces for residents, the Maven is the perfect venue to pursue a balanced life of work and play. Coupled with its generous residentia­l units and lush environmen­t, this Ortigas Land project will surely redefine millennial living. It gives a flair of luxury to the active and lifestyle-driven home in the middle of the city.

So if you’re looking for a place that will cater to your creative, social and fun lifestyle, check out the Maven at the Capitol Commons. A new home in this project may just be what you need to jumpstart a new chapter in your life and pursue your passions.

AURORA Florida

Also in Miami’s Sunny Isles Beach is Aurora, a 61-boutique residence by the Verzasca Group. Located right across the street from the beach, the resort-quality amenities include an outdoor theater and an open air yoga lounge that has specialize­d indoor and outdoor spaces, kept private by lush, natural landscapin­g by Nielsen Landscape Architects.

Buyers at the Aurora enjoy a one-year free membership in Jetsmarter, an Uber-like service but for airlines. Members of the service can easily fly to New York, Los Angeles or Chicago for the price of $9,000 a year.
