An Oasis breaks ground in the midst of the city
Four out of ten urban professionals are not doing their jobs very well, and it is not because they are lazy, nor is it because they do not like their jobs. It is just that they are suffering from too much stress.
In a global survey by Roper Starch Worldwide of 30,000 people between the ages of 13 and 65 in 30 countries, it was found out that 42 percent of urban professionals feel “super stressed,” one reason being the hustle and bustle of city living.
This is why Filinvest, being one of the leading real-estate developers in the Philippines, conceptualized a residential community that will give Filipino urbanites a respite from the downside of living in the metropolis.
”We want to offer professionals and start-up families residing in the metro a living space that will not only serve as their home, but also as their haven situated right here in the middle of the city,” says Julia Concepcion, VP/project group head of One Oasis Ortigas. True to Filinvest’s aim to reinvent living spaces to fit the needs of the urban Filipino lifestyle, they have put in place this residential garden community that is One Oasis.
One Oasis is a resort-inspired development with amenities that provide frazzled urbanites a peaceful retreat from the daily grind. Located within the environs of the Ortigas Business District, it is composed of 11 five-storey residential buildings and two BPO buildings within the sprawling complex. One Oasis offers a refreshing living space, which is noticeable breakaway from the concrete structures of the city. It allots 35 percent of its land area to greenery –out of the 4.3 hectares it occupies; two hectares will be dedicated to gardens and open spaces.
Moreover, its residences will not only be a refuge but will also enjoy fitness and recreational amenities including a clubhouse, swimming pools, a wellness room, entertainment room, billiard hall, jogging/walking path, basketball court, open badminton court, playground, and a tree park.
To alleviate the stress brought about by city commute, One Oasis is strategically located along Ortigas Avenue, and residences have easy access to public transportation. With a favorable proximity to key establishments such as hospitals (The New Medical City), shopping centers (SM Megamall, Robinson’s Galleria, Shangri La Plaza, The Podium, Tiendesitas), and educational institutions (La Salle Greenhills, Poveda, St. Paul Pasig), its location is very convenient.
One Oasis also values safety and security, and a dedicated property management team ensures the upkeep of the master-planned community. A buffer fence surrounding the whole community and a round-the-clock security system provide safety within the premises and the surroundings of the community.
With Filinvest, an oasis in the middle of the metropolitan is a mirage no more, because soon, One Oasis will be here for the Filipino urbanite. The first two residential buildings are scheduled for completion in early 2009 with the others not far behind.
