  • And now there’s Pontefino residences
     

    OWNING your own townhouse or condotel unit and enjoying all the services, features and amenities of a hotel-leisure-residential community—that’s what PonteFino Residences is all about.

    Recently opened in the new metropolis that is Batangas City is this new residential project: 80 townhouses and condotel units on a 6,58- square-meter lot, a key component of the planned integrated hotel-condotel-townhouse and leisure and sports facilities complex of which Hotel PonteFino, which opened in 2005, is the anchor facility.

    Imagine this:  all the features of a first-class village, such as underground electrical and cabling systems, perimeter fences, tree-lined streets and well-landscaped areas, ample parking and ample water supply, and more.  On top of that, owners of these units will enjoy the hotel conveniences of round-the-clock housekeeping, maintenance assistance, room service, 100-percent electrical power backup, 24-hour security and more, plus the amenities of a swimming pool with a deck, children’s play area, trellises and gazebos.

    Then, to treat family, friends and business associates, hotel facilities may be availed of when feasting at the new Japanese specialty restaurant, having a candle-lit dinner at the gazebo, or a business meeting at any of the function rooms, or singing the blues away at the KTV with colleagues.

    Moving into the PonteFino Residences, in other words, is like moving into a hotel suite of your own.  Magnificent architectural design coupled with hotel service and amenities make for a prized possession each of the three-bedroom and two-bedroom units, all built of first-class materials, and all cable- and telephone-ready.

    Moving into a condotel unit is like moving into a new house without the worries of looking for furniture and appliances or hiring an interior designer, mover or contractor.  The furnished home will also have all the features of a de luxe hotel. 

    The best part is— you can even earn from it. Place it in the hotel rental management program, if you don’t intend to live in it full-time and earn a percentage of the revenues—as much as 14.2-percent annual return on investment and payback period as fast as seven years!  There are one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.

    The project will include the construction of the PonteFino Country Club adjacent to the PonteFino Residences, plus an Olympic-sized infinity swimming pool, a wellness facility and world-class spa, a fitness gym and various sports facilities

    Everything a homeowner needs is within reach—the Batangas City Business District and City Proper, Batangas International Port, the proposed Batangas City Exit of the STAR Tollway, shopping and leisure centers such as SM City, Makro and Robinsons, churches, hospitals, schools, recreational areas and tourist destinations such as Puerto Galera, Anilao, Taal town, lake and volcano.

    Batangas City, identified as a “regional growth center” and a “special economic zone,” is the main urban center and industrial hub of Southern Tagalog.  Under way are infrastructure developments, such as a major highway aimed to cut travel time from Manila to Batangas, and the international port expansion to serve as alternate port to Manila.
