Cypress Towers - News in Manila Bulletin 091510

With a reputation as one of the leading medium-rise condominium experts, DMCI Homes continues to make strides by expanding its market reach and tapping the high-rise segment.

One of its completed high-rise projects, Cypress Towers, is proving how the company has shifted its success from mid-rise to high-rise developments.  Cypress Towers is an emerging community composed of urban professionals and young families, who are enjoying the perks of the DMCI Homes brand.  Since its launch in 2006, the development’s three towers have been completed and turned over to the unit buyers.

Today, residents are enjoying the signature DMCI Homes value propositions, such as the resort-themed community, first-rate building features, efficiently planned units, and excellent property management. This project has the distinction of having a unique “pinwheel” building configuration that is an architectural achievement on its own.

Cypress Towers’ most pronounced distinction is the pinwheel design that distinguishes it from the rest of the Taguig City landscape.  This unique configuration was designed to utilize space efficiently while providing both aesthetic and functional benefits.

The structure likewise takes advantage of natural lighting and ventilation that permeates throughout the building.  This design is a signature of the brand in all its projects.  Wind flows in freely, leading to maximum air circulation, so residents don’t feel smothered when inside the building.  At the same time, natural light seeps around each level to reduce the constrictive effects of urban living.   This energy-saving method allows unit owners to save from paying unnecessary dues for air-conditioning and lighting of the building’s common areas.

Another signature feature is the single-loaded corridors.  This means that instead of another unit, doors open to a hallway so that homeowners can enjoy a little bit more privacy.  Each building wing accommodates only three to four units, which translates to exclusivity and medium-density living for the residents.

Standing on more than 10,700 sqm of prime land, Cypress Towers is located along C-5 Road, in Brgy. Ususan, Taguig City.  Access to main thoroughfares is convenient, along with transport depots and even the domestic and international airports.

The property is located 2.2 kms from Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and 5 kms from the Makati CBD, putting residents within easy traveling distance to and from business and commercial hubs, as well as important destinations (schools, church, etc.) of the metro.

Naturally, residents are enjoying their address, allowing them more time to savor mornings without having to worry about traffic and longer travel periods.  The improving image of cosmopolitan Taguig likewise complements their fast-paced, urban lifestyle.

To address the market’s needs, DMCI Homes came up with a mix of studio (available at Altiva Tower), two-bedroom standard, two-bedroom special (this type of unit comes with a den) and tandem units, which are two-bedroom units combined together.  These units are proportionately designed to suit each unit owners’ need for space and lifestyle requirements.

All three buildings were named to give the towers a modern-sounding feel and are associated with height and positive living: “Belmira” stands for “beautiful view or sight”, coined from the French word “belle” (beauty) and the Spanish word “mira” (sight).  Celesta is loosely coined from the Latin word, “heavenly”; while Altiva refers to “high living” from the Spanish terms “alta” (high) and “viva” (to live).

Residents also get to enjoy resort-type amenities around the complex.  These include a swimming pool at the ground floor, multi-purpose function area, and al fresco dining at Belmira.

The fifth level of Celesta has a children’s playground, spa, and podium gazebo where residents can lounge around in style. Altiva, on the other hand, has a fitness gym and sky lounge that offers stunning views of the skyline.

All these amenities are efficiently maintained by the Property Management Office (PMO).

Interested buyers still have a chance to join the community of Cypress Towers, with a number of units still available at Altiva building.

For only 10 percent downpayment, unit buyers can readily move in and settle an affordable monthly amortization scheme, either with partner banks or in-house financing.
