First tower units sold out in just two months; property price already increased by 15-percent Huge demand for residential properties inside the 34.5-hectare McKinley West continues even as prices have significantly increased during the past years. Megaworld’s third residential condominium development, Park McKinley West, has sold the entire first tower just two months after it was launched in May, with total sales of around P6.5-billion. “At present, unit prices of Park McKinley West already rose 15% to P250,000 per square meter because of the huge demand for residential properties in McKinley West. We somehow expected this considering the remarkable take-up of lots in McKinley West Village, and the brisk sales of units in St. Moritz and The Albany. McKinley West is truly on a roll,” reveals Noli D. Hernandez, senior vice president for sales and marketing, Megaworld. Because of this, Megaworld is launching a second tower of Park McKinley West with 478 spacious units ranging from one-bedroom (up to 48.5 square meters); two-bedroom (up to 110 square meters); three-bedroom (up to 212 square meters); four-bedroom (up to 229 square meters); and five-bedroom penthouse units (up to 336 square meters). The 25-storey second tower of Park McKinley West will have the same amenities as the first tower, which include the lap pool and kiddie pool with own pool deck and lounge, fitness center, function rooms, yoga room and outdoor yoga deck, outdoor sitting areas, water features, children’s playground, game room and sky garden.
Total projected sales for the second tower amount to P7-billion. The project is expected for completion by 2023. Park McKinley West is the fourth residential development launched in McKinley West, which is strategically located in the southern part of Fort Bonifacio beside Forbes Park and the Manila Polo Club. Megaworld launched the township’s first residential development, the upscale McKinley West Village, which was sold out in just a week in 2010. Prices of McKinley West Village lots have since increased almost thrice to P200,000 per square meter. St. Moritz Private Estate and The Albany are the other two luxury residential developments that have already been launched in the township. Prices of both developments have appreciated by almost 40% since their respective launches. Source: https://www.megaworldcorp.com/megaworld-launches-second-tower-park-mckinley-west

Remo, Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:32 AM February 03, 2018 Never has innovation played an even more strategic role to humanity than today. With technology disrupting practically every facet of day to day living, the need to innovate and come up with fresh ways to adapt to changing times has never become more pressing, urgent, and significant. From the way people work, conduct their businesses, even live and communicate, technology has drastically distorted and revolutionized the status quo compared to just a decade ago. The gravity of this matter is not lost on global leaders and top executives, who are now exploring various ways to efficiently leverage on the benefits of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and digital economy. In fact, part of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos last month saw some discussions focusing on technology and artificial intelligence and how these can be harnessed in trade, job creation, smart agriculture and food systems, disaster resilience, governments, as well as intelligent, connected and livable cities. Smart cities The need for cities to innovate is just as pressing too—especially since it is expected that by 2050, another 2 billion people will be added to the global urban population. This, according to data from WEF, would be equivalent to creating a city the size of London or San Francisco every month over the next two decades, a development that will press cities “to do more with less,” to be “smarter, greener and more efficient,” and most importantly, “to innovate.” Hence, there has been a growing thrust to create smart cities—cities that are able to harness digital technologies to reshape communities and make it healthier, more efficient, connected, accessible, livable, and sustainable for the people. In short, cities that are said to be prepared for the future. Based on certain indices, cities such as Copenhagen, Singapore, Stockholm and Seoul are touted as among the world’s smartest cities. Other cities, however, are still considered work in progress. Future proofing In the Philippines, a real estate giant is making a bold move, taking the lead in creating smart cities, as it pioneers what it has dubbed as ‘iTownships.’ “iTownships will become our new brand in ‘creating the townships of the future.’ It is about innovation, integration, internet and interconnectivity. Having these features in our townships does not only make our developments ‘future-ready’, but it also allows us to take greater steps towards sustainability and environmental responsibility,” explained Kevin L. Tan, senior vice president of Megaworld Corp. “In this fast-changing digital world, we see the importance of aligning our developments to quickly adapt to the disruptions, which we perceive as opportunities,” he added. The company’s move to roll out “iTownships” formed part of its efforts to “future-proof” its developments, which comprised of more than 660 residential developments, 54 office towers and 15 lifestyle malls within its 22 townships and integrated lifestyle communities across the Philippines. This latest innovation from Megaworld, follows its 28-year leadership in pioneering the “live-work-play” concept in property development, which eventually gave birth to the so-called townships. This time around, the company is again raising the bar and elevating the standards of all its developments by incorporating digital technology, design innovations and connectivity into its townships. Tan said they have already assigned teams to study how they can seamlessly integrate smart technology and innovations into their townships. Among the projects to be implemented include the digitization of customer service and payment processes, integration of smart home technology in residential units, utilization of digital technology and energy-efficient materials in structural designs, creation of Township Operation Centers across all developments which maximizes 24/7 security and safety monitoring and emergency response in every township, urban art installations and creative pedestrian crosswalks, smart parking system including provision for electric vehicle charging in mall developments. Green and sustainable features will also be at the core of the program. Some of the initiatives that will be implemented include the conversion of old streetlights to LED (light emitting diode) and solar-powered lights, green roofing for office buildings, provision of vertical green spaces across developments.
