DMCI and Kensington cap “The Amaryllis” completion

Resort-themed residences builder DMCI Homes and project partner Kensington Management Corp. (KMC), an affiliate of Anflo Management & Investment Corporation (ANFLOCOR) Group of Companies have capped off the completion of the 22-storey “The Amaryllis” by inaugurating the amenities of the residential condominium in New Manila, Quezon City recently.

Family members from both Consunji and Floirendo families (owners of DMCI and KMC, respectively) graced the blessing of The Amaryllis’ lounge area, lap pool and fitness gym on the ground floor and the Sky Lounge and Sky Park at the roof deck during the Nov. 15 event dubbed “Harvest”, which also celebrated the outstanding result of their long-time friendship.

“It is a great opportunity to work with some old friends, family friends, and put something together that is going to stand out,” Dave Consunji, grandson of DMCI Homes founder David M. Consunji, told homebuyers, colleagues, guests and KMC officials led by Linda Florendo Lagdameo.

Consunji recalled that it was tough for KMC patriarch, the late Antonio O. Floirendo Sr., to part with his property, where The Amaryllis now stands, to develop it into a modern residential community.

“This lot held a special place in his (Floirendo’s) heart because this was where he really intended to live. But it came out very nicely, so I’m very happy about it,” said Consunji of The Amaryllis.

“If our grandfather was here today, I think he’d be happy with what he’d see. In fact, he’ll be very impressed,” said KMC representative Cary Floirendo Lagdameo, grandson of Floirendo, during the blessing ceremony. “For sure, this is going to be a landmark building here for decades to come.”

“We have a lot of fond memories here. But now, I’m looking forward to the numerous families moving here and creating their own memories,” said Lagdameo.

The blessing of the amenities was followed by the traditional coin-tossing for good fortune, refreshment and mini concert from the Leggiero Strings and Chamber Orchestra.

Indeed, happy family moments will spring once more from the beloved place as the two companies are turning over to homeowners 450 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom units of the nearly sold out low-density, modern tropical-themed enclave.

Start-up families will surely enjoy comfortable living in the elegant and spacious homes, whose sizes range from 55 to 105.5 square meters. They will also do so in stylish fashion through The Amaryllis’ beautiful, secure and exclusive environment as well as a premium location: New Manila.

The Amaryllis has DMCI Homes’ signature resort-style design that makes city living truly relaxing. A landscaped garden and gazebo in the swimming pool area give that vacation feel. Residents will have scenic views from the Sky Park and Sky Lounge. A grand lobby gives a hotel-like welcome to homeowners and guests.

Units open up to a central atrium on every five floors while single-loaded hallways in other floors complement landscaping, enhance privacy and bring in natural air and light. Unit balconies and windows provide added natural ventilation. DMCI Homes ensures high quality and durable units backed by two-year warranty.

The community has a gated entrance, electrified perimeter fence and 24-hour roving security guards. Safety features include fire alarm and fire hose cabinets along corridors and fire exits on both wings of the L-shaped building.

The Amaryllis’ special spot at the corner of E. Rodriguez Sr. Ave. and 12th Street offers residents urban convenience. The spot is close to reputable schools like St. Joseph College’s, Trinity University of Asia, St. Paul University and Immaculate Concepcion Academy. Shopping and leisure can be done in nearby Waltermart, Puregold, Gateway Mall and Robinson’s Magnolia. St. Luke’s Hospital and De Los Santos Medical Center are along E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue.

DMCI Homes seeks completion of The Amaryllis in December this year

Leading real estate firm DMCI Homes is again set to reaffirm its reputation for “on-time” delivery of projects with the expected completion of The Amaryllis in December this year. Located along E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue corner 12th St. in New Manila, the development is designed for start-up families looking for a decent home and is slated to become the company’s sixth condo development in Quezon City to be delivered as scheduled to unit buyers.
The company’s other projects in the Quezon City area that have similarly been delivered on-time include the Accolade Place in Cubao, The Manors at Celebrity Place, Magnolia Place in Tandang Sora, Stellar Place in Visayas Avenue, and The Redwoods in Fairview.

Once completed, The Amaryllis is set to offer the best of modern resort-style living right in the heart of Quezon City. Its future residents will enjoy the comforts and conveniences of living in the city which they can easily access from their units. The development will house its residents amidst an extensive range of resort-like amenities and recreational facilities including a lap pool, kiddie pool, gazebo, pocket gardens, multi-purpose hall, fitness gym, and an impressive Sky Park where they can enjoy unobstructed views of the city.

The project’s strategic location (right smack in the middle of four key areas such as New Manila, Greenhills, South Triangle and Cubao-Araneta), provides a suitable gateway for residents to easily reach places of interest in the metro. The residential enclave is close to commercial hubs, shopping malls and entertainment centers as well as the country’s biggest broadcast stations, GMA 7 and ABS-CBN 2, making entertainment easily within reach. The Amaryllis is also just a few minutes’ walk or drive from some of the country’s major learning institutions such as St. Joseph’s College, St. Paul Pasig, Immaculate Conception Academy, Xavier School, and La Salle Green Hills.

Delays in project delivery can be a cause of concern for the homebuyer, especially when it is not delivered within the designated schedule. This can actually speak volumes about the reliability and capability of the developer. And among the current crop of players in the property sector, DMCI Homes is one developer that has established a reputation of not just meeting but almost always exceeding delivery expectations. While others may seem complacent about the demands of the market, DMCI Homes continues to reinforce its commitment of delivering quality homes on agreed upon turnover schedules.

The Amaryllis, its latest high-rise project in New Manila, is one such tangible example of DMCI Homes being able to meet its commitments. The Amaryllis is currently on-track in its construction schedule and is set to be completed by December this year. Structural works at the 22-storey building is on-going, while masonry works and other installation requirements are also underway in different parts of the structure.

Aside from this, DMCI Homes also provides extra value to homebuyers of The Amaryllis by giving a 2-year limited warranty deal. This covers all unit deliverables such as paints, kitchen cabinets and countertops except for operable items like faucets and door knobs which are subject to wear and tear due to daily use. As one of the leading construction firms in the Philippines, the company is confident of this provision since it is backed by DMCI’s legacy that spans over 60 years of experience and track record in the field.

These unique selling propositions establish The Amaryllis as a best-value development offered by DMCI Homes. Once construction is completed, the units may then be turned over to the buyers. The turnover of units, which is usually indicated at a specific quarter of the year, may push through subject to the following conditions: the payment terms and period of purchase have been met; a drawdown clearance has been issued by the DICD; the unit has met the Turnover Group’s standards and the buyer has confirmed to the Notice of Inspection given by the group.
