Raya Garden Condominiums: Inspired By Paradise
Phil Star- 9/21/07

At the tropical island of Bali, natural splendor and man-made enhancements meld effortlessly, making it one of the most enticing and favored vacation destinations in the world.  With its natural splendor, architectural and engineering marvels, rich cultural traditions, and warm and friendly people, it has taken on an appeal utterly distinct and undoubtedly impressive.

This picturesque paradise is meticulously reflected in Raya Garden Condominiums, a Balinese-inspired, master planned community of mix-variety residential buildings that offers its residents an environment that is resort-like and a lifestyle that spells utmost convenience.

Raya Garden's two new 15-storey towers (Jakarta and Surabaya) offers spectacular views of the Makati skyline and the beautiful Manila Bay sunset which can be experienced right in your very own balconies.  Jakarta and Surabaya towers both offers a fine variety mix of two bedroom standard (48 sqm), two bedroom special (63.5 sqm), and three bedroom tandem units (96 sqm) while the studio units (24sqm) are offered exclusively at the Surabaya Tower .

Backed by 50 years of experience in building prominent landmarks in the country such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines , Makati Shangri-la Hotel, Rockwell Center , and Ayala Tower One, DMCI Homes now applies the same expertise and world-class standards in building first class residences that are within the reach of young, middle-income and upwardly mobile urban families.

 

 

Serene space and superb structures
One does not have to be inside Raya Garden's sprawling grounds to know that the place is special.  Its impressive façade alone seems to announce the grandeur that awaits anyone who enters its walls.  Dramatically lit at night, the main entrance features an imposing metal-framed wooden gate that is flanked by adobe-clad guard posts.

Inside, it is spacious, serene, and scenic through and through.

The property's two new high-rise towers (Jakarta and Surabaya) and three completed mid-rise buildings (Bali, Bandung and Bogor) are interspersed a comfortable distance from each other.  All carry the distinct Balinese feel, with the sweet, earthy tones of wood and bamboo providing a sense of calm and ease.  Cornices, paintings and statuettes add a delightful Asian accent while lush interior gardens exude an unmistakable tropical feel.

Meanwhile, Raya Garden's first-rate amenities offer a plethora of rejuvenating recreational pursuits for its residents.  Two wi-fi enabled clubhouses sit adjacent to each other and serve as the development's central activity area.  Housed within their tastefully designed confines are multi-function halls, an audio/video KTV room, elegant bar and a view deck.  A floating podium can also be used for intimate, private gatherings.  These edifices are surrounded by a charming lotus pond with cascading features and connected by quaint walkway bridges.

For more active endeavors, Surabaya's gym facilities, a good-sized infinity edge plunge pool, a kiddie pool, an open basketball court, and covered tennis courts are available for the exclusive use of homeowners.  And given all these add-ons and services, it is important to note that there is still more than enough room for leisurely walks, which in itself is therapeutic, thanks to the majestic landscaping that encase the property.

The resort-like ambience is completed with Raya Garden's Property Management Office. This team sees to it that residents' every concern - from security, to cleanliness and maintenance, even down to phone line application assistance - is addressed competently and with a welcome smile.

Studio Spaces at Raya Garden's Surabaya Tower
PHIL STAR- 9/21/07

The next big thing? Easy living in Raya Garden's Surabaya Tower, where studio spaces offer huge

With Raya Garden's three mid-rise buildings completely sold out, construction is underway for the property's last two residential structures - Jakarta and Surabaya.

Both rising 15 storeys high, these buildings bring a new dimension to the residential-resort lifestyle by affording residents the distinctive advantage of a "view" while staying true to the Balinese theme of the development.  This is made possible by the buildings' unique design of having luxuriant central garden atriums every five levels.  With this, refreshing elements of the outdoors are carried inside, something other vertical developments fail to offer.  Moreover, the units are lined in single-loaded corridors, furthering the feel of nature and permitting for the abundant entry of natural light and ventilation.  This set-up also provides residents optimum privacy.

The generosity of space that characterizes the development is carried to the individual units.  All units - from the standard 2-bedroom, 2-bedroom special and tandem - have their own balconies and are turned over with a finish that is clean and classic.  The bedrooms are generously spacious and invites utmost  relaxation and comfort, while the kitchens are already fitted with granite-finish countertops with complete cabinet system, and the toilets with full fixture features.  And to accommodate the clamor for more modest living spaces, the Surabaya building will offer studio units.

Additionally, the high-rise towers provide spacious storage and service areas at the roof deck as well as lower ground parking levels.

Distinguished pedigree

Not every player in the burgeoning real estate industry has the capacity to continually come up with concepts that raise residential living standards to unprecedented heights while remaining within budgetary reach of the ordinary urban warrior.  Even a fewer still have the capability and commitment to make it happen.  DMCI Homes, owing to its enviable lineage to construction giant DMCI, is the country's first triple A builder/developer that consistently provides young upwardly mobile professionals and families of modest means with high-quality homes in centrally-located and fully-serviced communities.

Raya Garden Condominiums stand as an eloquent testimony to this commitment.

Raya Garden's Single-loaded Corridors: The Pleasure of Exclusive Condo Living

Residents are raving about Raya Garden Condominiums' single-loaded corridors, a premium offering at this exclusive DMCI Homes development. Condo units here don't open to cramped corridors or neighboring doors.  Instead, the single-loaded feature allows residents to enjoy an exclusive feel to condo living, by facing an atrium at the center of every building. 

This efficient layout likewise allows natural lighting and ventilation to permeate through the building, totally deviating from the usual condo setup of enclosed, suffocating spaces.  The presence of the well-landscaped garden atrium likewise contributes to the pleasant ambiance of each building.  As they step out of their units, residents will be greeted by the refreshing sight of greens and sunlight.

"The single-loaded corridors have become a standard feature of all DMCI Homes developments," said Rina Soriano, Architectural Design Manager of DMCI Homes. "We don't want our unit owners to feel the constrictive conditions of a condominium home.  Metro Manila is already overcrowded, so we want our residents to look forward to going home to Raya Garden as their spacious sanctuary at the end of the day."

Raya Garden Condominiums: A Community in Progress
Phil Star- 9/21/07

DMCI Homes, with its proud lineage to one of the most formidable names in the local construction industry, is renowned for residential projects that are exemplified by world-class workmanship and consistently fast and efficient delivery. 

Engineer Louie A. Maligaya, Project Manager for Raya Garden Condominiums, asserts, "Construction is our strength.  We are the only construction firm-turned-developer so all the know-how we have gathered from being in the business for more than fifty years, we apply for the benefit of our clients."

This valuable experience has not only allowed DMCI Homes to come up with some of the most admired and revolutionary projects nowadays, but has also enabled the company to roll with unforeseen punches that come its way. 

The Raya Garden development, for instance, hit a snag early on that prevented the construction team from immediately proceeding with structural works. Eng.   Maligaya recalls how they were stalled for almost half a year.

"Because of that problem, we were able to begin work with the buildings' foundation only on June 2006 when as early as January of that year, we have promised our buyers that the units will be ready for turnover by December 2006.  We worked non-stop, employing two shifts of workers to ensure that we will fulfill our end of the bargain," Maligaya beams as he explains.     

Indeed, by D-day, Raya Garden Condominiums had risen to become an exciting and promising community that offers homeowners the unparalleled advantage of having a home cradled in a resort-like setting while still being within easy reach of the indispensable conveniences of city living.

What makes this accomplishment doubly admirable is that quality of work did not suffer despite the obstacles.  Moreover, the validation did not come internally, but from peers.  "Architects and engineers from the Paranaque Building Office who conducted site inspection when we applied for Occupancy Permit had only high praises for the project.  Technically, aesthetically, they were wowed," Eng. Maligaya chuckles.
 

Not every triumph, however, can be attributed solely to the construction proficiency of DMCI Homes.  As Architect Rina Soriano, the company's Architectural Design Manager, points out, a great deal of their success is anchored on innovation.

She says, "Our President, Mr. Isidro Consunji, always prods us to be better with every project.  So even within an on-going development, we always try to come up with ways to improve...to offer better products and provide enhanced services."

Raya Garden Condominiums, Soriano explains, is borne out of the company's desire to take resort-residential living to unprecedented levels. "It is not just about creating beautiful living spaces.  When we conceptualized Raya Garden Condominiums, we had in mind hardworking young professionals and start-up families who we feel are underserved.  They deserve a tranquil and safe community but one that is still located on prime real estate, and most of all, one that will not take a heavy toll on their pockets.  Raya Garden is this sanctuary." 

The Balinese-inspired theme of Raya Garden seeks to highlight Asian architecture, with landscape design and lush greenery figuring prominently.  Water elements are another integral part of the overall plan.  More Asian accents such as ornaments, paintings and statuettes complete the truly impressive yet relaxing air the development aims to evoke.

Arch. Soriano says that while the general design concept had been in place even before the structures were built, they are on constant lookout for whatever improvements may be made and implemented.  "During the design stage, we were thinking of putting a grand water feature at the central driveway.  But we decided otherwise, after assessing that a big tree instead will better help soften the effect of concrete.  We maintained the rotunda but will put an acacia tree in place of a water feature."    

Eng. Maligaya seconds this assertion, and explains further that the company does not mind going the extra mile or sacrificing on its bottom line just to purse its ideals.  "When we were constructing the swimming pool, the bosses at DMCI noticed that it might be too small to accommodate the residents.  So they ordered a re-do.  They also wanted a kiddie pool to be built.  So we did.  We restarted from scratch even if millions were already spent on the on-going works."

With the three mid-rise buildings completed and totally sold out, focus now shifts to Jakarta and Surabaya, two 15-storey towers that will round up Raya Garden's grand master plan.  Both buildings feature lush landscaped atriums every five floors. And with DMCI Homes' trademark single-loaded corridors, the cold, cramped and boxy feel of ordinary high-rise residences is replaced by the breezy, spacious, and tranquil atmosphere at Raya.

While Jakarta will not be ready for occupancy until February 2008, 50% of its units have already been sold out.  The building will house 289 units and will be serviced by two high-speed elevators.  It will feature an impressive lobby with a reception counter, individual mailboxes, and a visitor waiting area with seating arrangement.

Meanwhile, foundation construction is underway for Surabaya Tower, which will be ready for occupancy by April 2009.  It is T-shaped and has a bigger area compared to Jakarta.  Its 389 units will be serviced by three elevators.  The building will be highlighted by a grand hotel-like air-conditioned lobby.  With its proximity to the clubhouses, it will house additional amenities that are for the common use of Raya Garden residents.  A full-service gym, laundry service and other commercial establishments will be hosted by Surabaya Tower.

Eng. Maligaya excitedly announces that a go signal has already been given for the construction of covered tennis courts and a kiddie playground, two features not originally in the design plan.  Arch. Soriano declares that complete a community as Raya Garden may seem, other flourishes may still be added if deemed useful and if such will heighten the overall experience of its residents.

Indeed, with DMCI's determined efforts to continuously be better, things can only look up, literally and figuratively, for the privileged Raya Garden Condominiums community.
