Empire East partners with DATEM for Pioneer Woodlands

World-class real estate developer Empire East Land Holdings, Inc. and top-notch contractor DATEM, Inc. celebrated its newfound partnership in the construction of the fourth tower of Pioneer Woodlands (PWL) condominium last May 12 through its ‘First Concrete Pouring’ ceremony.

The event, led by Empire East’s senior vice president for project development division, engineer Ricky S. Libago and DATEM’s president, engineer Levy V. Espiritu, signifies the beginning of a speedy and innovative construction of PWL’s fourth (out of six) towers.

“It is so fortunate for Empire East to be able to show our clients that we are really serious in providing quality homes. Having DATEM as our contractor is one of our steps to ensure only the best development for them,” said Libago.

DATEM is known to have constructed high-standard edifices in the Philippines such as The Mind Museum and Discovery Shores Boracay. In the property sector, it spearheaded the construction of Megaworld’s One Central and Two Central, as well as Uptown Ritz among many others.

When asked which part of PWL will play in their roster of project portfolio, Espiritu only expressed how excited his team is to be working on this project that is within a very strategic location, especially for being given the chance to reconfigure the tower’s design to fit their trademark development.

“We are using new technologies in construction such as pre-fixed architectural and structural precast wall. We will be using the precast slab panel system and are ensuring straight finished flooring. We guarantee that the quality of the project will be the best,” said Espiritu. He also promised prompt completion of the development and a guarantee that future homeowners will be satisfied with the outcome.

Empire East President and CEO Anthony Charlemagne C. Yu is proud of this new highlight that came just in time for the celebration of the company’s 21st anniversary in the industry this year.

“Partnering with DATEM makes Empire East’s developments more trustworthy in terms of providing the best quality for its aspiring homeowners. We are looking forward to a superior turnover of units in the coming years,” he shared.

Pioneer Woodlands is located along EDSA cor. Pioneer St. in Mandaluyong City. Having a direct bridge to the Boni station of MRT3 makes this development more desirable for city dwellers who love to speed through the vital city hubs easily.

Its available living spaces range from one bedroom to combined unit options. Construction of fourth tower is currently ongoing. PWL LTS No 26217 includes Towers 1 and 2.

Lush San Juan garden now an event venue

Imagine setting yourself adrift around one of the famous gardens of Florence in Italy. Towering old trees provide shade, with the relaxing sound of water gushing from the courtyard fountain.

Such imagery and feeling are the inspiration of Mango Tree Residences, the 3,000-square-meter property of Empire East.

Located on the quiet side of M. Paterno Street in San Juan City, the European-inspired garden gives clients and guests a relaxing atmosphere. It is different from the usual showroom or model unit. Empire East decided on this innovative marketing.

The garden is a perfect venue for wedding receptions and other special occasions. It is also an ideal setting for prenuptial video shoots, and for avid photography buffs.

“The idea of creating a park is a marketing approach to client prospecting,” says lawyer Charlie Yu, president of Empire East Land Holdings Inc.

“In any development, the lot is usually converted into a sales and model unit before the building construction. In our case, we decided to build a mini theme park to give value to the land as well as attract visitors and photography enthusiasts.

Paterno Street is very idyllic, with luxuriant mango trees and a community composed mostly of old-rich Chinese. The garden landscape will serve as inspiration for a luxurious, high-rise condominium development. Mango Tree Residences’ modern Asian architecture will highlight earth tones, wide-open spaces and wood elements. The old mango trees will play a significant part in preserving nature, integrated in the landscaped greenery.

The development will feature an on-stilts concept—no massive structures on the ground level. This layout yields more open spaces that enhance the exclusivity and privacy of the neighborhood. Its grand drop-off area and double-height lobbies will welcome residents to a five-star hotel ambiance.

The residential condominium will have two towers (34-story East Residences and 38-story West Residences), strategically located on the boundaries of San Juan, Quezon City, and Mandaluyong City.

Mango Tree Residences has good proximity to Xavier School, Immaculate Conception Academy and La Salle Greenhills. Efficient road networks in the vicinity easily connect to shopping malls, offices and healthcare institutions in Greenhills, Ortigas, Makati, Manila and Quezon City. Recreational amenities include a lap pool, kiddie pool, function room, fitness gym and wellness zone at the ground level, and five levels of parking. There will also be a garden deck on the seventh level. Future homeowners may choose from one-bedroom or two-bedroom suites ranging from 30 to 92 sq m; select units have exclusive patios. There are larger cuts of residential units on the penthouse level of each tower.
