Developer opens condo models

MODEL units of The Persimmon, Aboitizland Inc.’s first urban village, are now available for viewing on M. J. Cuenco Ave., Mabolo, Cebu City.

Aboitizland marketing manager Leorelei Ylaya recently announced the completion of the studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom models.

We want would-be vecinos (Spanish for neighbors; AboitizLand’s term for its clients/ home-owners) to have an actual feel for The Persimmon and base their buying decisions on that pleasant experience,” Ylaya said.

The Persimmon is the company’s first venture into vertical residential development. It is an integrated project with an entertainment-commercial hub, The Persimmon Plus, serving as its anchor.

Located within a few minutes from the city’s tourist, cultural, academic, political, religious and commercial sites, The Persimmon will host more than 600 units in its four 15-storey condominium buildings.

Vecinos may choose among one-, two- or three-bedroom or loft units, all built consistent with the community’s Asian contemporary design.

Ylaya said AboitizLand is proud of the elegance and easy living that The Persimmon has come to symbolize, making it a popular choice among the young and the accomplished professionals, the international Filipino market, start-up families and old Cebuano clans wishing to invest in real estate.

Construction of the village’s West Tower started last year. All units within the tower have been sold out a year before the projected date of turnover to vecinos. The second tower, the North Tower, is set for launching.

Pre-selling results, Ylaya disclosed, “are very encouraging.” “The Persimmon is defying many real estate sales trends,” she added.
