A Remarkable Experience Worth Remembering
"It has been a great experience purchasing a condo at Robinsons Land. I have
been away from
the Philippines for 35 years. At first, I saw the ads from the Filipino
Community newspapers here
at Los Angeles and I was very interested to purchase a unit at Trion Towers.
But I was not sure
until i went home to the Philippines last June 2009 and met one of the staff
of International
Marketing. He accompanied me to the construction site and showed me the
model units at the
showroom. I was attracted to the place and the staff clearly explained to me
everything. So I
decided, right on the spot, and signed the necessary documents to reserve a
unit."

Robinsons Land buys 9.3-ha property of Jardine Davies
By Zinnia B. Dela Pena The Philippine Star Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC), the property unit of Gokongwei-owned JG Summit Holdings Inc., signed an agreement with Jardine Davies Investments, Inc. for the purchase of the latter's 9.3-hectare property in Merville, Paranaque City. RLC, however, did not disclose how much it acquired the property, which is close to the border of two major central business districts (CBDs) - Makati and Bonifacio Global City. The purchase of the property marks RLC's entry to the Southern part of Manila. RLC said the property will be developed into a mixed-use type development with several residental-gated enclaves consisting of affordable mid-rise condominium units and townhouses in the P2million and higher category. For this project, the company is targeting the mid-level to senior executives, entrepreneurs, medical professionals, expatriates, young couples or start-up families and OFWs. With its sheer size and prime location, RLC said the Merville acquisition will help answer the needs of various target markets looking for an attractive address that are close to CBDs but not at the price of current CBD properties. Currently one of the most active real estate developers, RLC also won in the recent government bidding for the four-hectae Manila Gas property valued at P573 million. Said property is scheduled for turnover by next month.
For its fiscal year ending September 2005, RLC posted a net income of P1.2 billion on total revenues of P5.08 billion. In the first quarter of its fiscal year 2006, RLC reported a net income of P419 million or an increase of 28 percent from the previous level's P328 million. Revenues likewise went up 38 percent to P1.72 billiob compared with only P1.25 billion a year earlier.
RLC is the flagship property of development arm of JG Summit Holdings Inc., one of the country's largest conglomerates with diverse interests in branded consumer foods, agro-industrial and commodity food products, textile, telecommunications, petrochemicals, air transportation and financial services.
Leading real estate developer, Robinsons Land Corporation, is inspiring future homeowners to start sowing the roots for the future. Through a CSR project spearheaded by subsidiary brand, Robinsons Homes, RLC is sending out the message that nature should be an essential part of every home – and that everyone in the community has a role to make sure this mission comes to fruition.
The project is called Our Roots, Our Homes – Planting Trees for a Greener Philippines. Launched early this year in Robinsons Homes development Mirada Dos in San Fernando, Pampanga, the new project aims to address not only the need for a greener community, but to emphasize the importance of cooperation among the homeowners to sustain the worthwhile cause. Through Our Roots, Our Homes, every Robinsons Homes project will impart a legacy that the company wants every homeowner to take pride in. Robinsons
Homes executives, led by Ms. Joan Cosico, Business Unit General Manager, together with the Mirada Dos Homeowners Association and selected students from the Magnificat Child Development Center actively participated in planting a total of 108 trees. “This is the best way to show the kids the importance of nature and taking care of the environment. We enjoined them to be involved.” Four kinds of trees were chosen to help sustain the advocacy. Neem trees were planted to drive away mosquitoes, while Mahogany trees were planted to ensure that its long branches provide shade to future generations. Banaba was planted for its medicinal benefits while the Bottle Brush trees are also expected to further beautify the surroundings. “These trees were chosen to benefit the neighborhood and complement the landscape of our master planned subdivision development,” said Ms. Cosico, “This is our gift to the homeowners as now, they will be responsible for taking care of the trees, a challenge they welcomed as they believe that this is an investment for their future.”
More tree planting events are set to be carried out in various Robinsons Homes project developments in the coming months.
