Marco Polo Residences endears itself to Cebuanos



  
WITH its beautiful beaches, tropical climate and relaxed urban lifestyle, Cebu City, the Queen City of the South and the oldest city in the Philippines, has become a much sought-after haven for foreign retirees, drawing the international crowd like bees to flowers. Cebuanos are known to be the most hospitable and caring people in the country. No wonder that a lot of foreigners now live in the city for business and leisure. Add here the Mactan International Airport, which has international flights to Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Korea, Japan and China.
Now, another industry that is growing in the city is real estate. Over the years, more people are moving to Cebu due to the presence of new developments like the prestigious Marco Polo Residences and the Southern gem, which have made Cebu an even more attractive place to live in.
On top of the beautiful and overlooking city of Cebu located at the Nivel Hills in Apas is the famous Marco Polo Plaza Hotel. The establishment opened in 2006 after Metrobank, the biggest bank in the country, acquired the property from the owners of the Cebu Plaza, which ceased operations in 2003. Since its inauguration, the Marco Polo Plaza Hotel has become the favorite venue for family events and vacation destination for both the locals and foreign visitors.
 
Now, five residential buildings next to the hotel are being built and they will rise in the next few years—The Marco Polo Residences. The units in Tower 1 have been sold out two months after they were launched, while 75 percent of Towers 2 and 3 have been sold. The investment on this project is between P15 billion and P20 billion, according to Alfred Ty, president of Federal Land.
“The Marco Polo Hotel is very dear to the Cebuanos. It’s sentimental to them. This is where they had their special and memorable events. The intention of the residences is to have the hotel amenities for the home­owners,” said Ty. “The unending stories I hear are nostalgic, and the Marco Polo Residences will make us closer to the community.”
Ty further shared, “We are encouraged by the strong market response. It was exciting to see the response of foreign and local retirees from abroad.”
With a name that is globally prominent in the hotel and hospitality sector, the Marco Polo Residences has since become an ideal investment among foreign retirees and expats settling in Cebu. Following the successful unveiling of its first two towers, a third structure will soon rise within the premises of the Marco Polo Residences.
The third tower, dubbed as the Marco Polo Parkview Residences, is a highly anticipated addition to this exclusive community located at Nivel Hills in Cebu. Federal Land Inc., the premier property developer behind this luxury development, is pleased to report a favorable take-up since its launch.
The Marco Polo Parkview Residences is envisioned to become a fancy retreat for the upscale market. Its members-only club shall serve as a playground for the cosmopolitan crowd. Here, they can indulge to their heart’s content in the pleasures of appointed features such as a lap pool, fully equipped fitness center, spa, private theater and tennis court.
The Marco Polo Residences sets itself apart from its peers in the local property sector with its world-class facilities and services that synthesize Asian hospitality with Western innovations. The legendary brand of Marco Polo also gives it a unique distinction from other luxury high-rise developments in the market.
Residents of the Marco Polo Residences can enjoy access to the Marco Polo Hotel and its hotel amenities and services. These include food and beverage signing privilege; concierge, room, business center and laundry services; apartment cleaning, servicing and maintenance; and priority access to the swimming pool, gym and the wellness zone. Apart from the stunning view, the charm of the Marco Polo Residences lies in its five-star hotel-like amenities, well-appointed units and first-class services. Each unit was designed to exude contemporary, stylish living suited for the distinct tastes of its residents.
The hotel-like ambiance cascades to the common areas with its grand ground floor lobby and drop-off. Security is a top priority with CCTV system, automatic fire suppression system, fire detection alarm system, stand-by generator for both common and residential units, and 24-hour security and maintenance personnel.
