    PEOPLE have always longed to live in luxury and still be in touch with nature. However, very few are about to give up the comforts of modernity they have gotten used to. No matter how aesthetically pleasing some areas are, most would pass it up in favor of familiar convenience. Prettier versus Convenience? Convenience will always win.

    The people’s quest for both visual pleasantry and convenience is not impossible, though. The best of both worlds is found in Mandara Waterfront Residences. Whether one savors the vitality of urban living, the cozy warmth of the suburbia or the tranquility of a seaside retreat, Landmark Community Inc.’s (LCI) latest development has it all.

    Location, location, location

    The ideal location, they say, should be 20 minutes away from everything. If that is the case, then Mandara Waterfront Residences is the place to live in.

    Located in Asiaworld City in Parañaque, it is just a stone’s throw from Mall of Asia, the largest shopping mall in the country where one can buy almost anything one wants.

    Restaurants for every food craving are aplenty. Soon to rise near the vicinity is the Bagong Nayong Pilipino-Manila Bay Integrated City, a $15-billion tourist destination project hosting hotels, entertainment centers and commercial attractions.

    Business districts in  Makati, Quezon City, Pasig and Manila, not to mention the International and Domestic airports, are short and hassle-free drives away, because Mandara Residences is accessible to main thoroughfares like Edsa, C-5, Roxas Boulevard, Macapagal Avenue and Pasay Road.

    Priceless pleasures

    Besides location, Mandara offers something that these days is hard to find even with lots of money:  breathtaking views of the bay.

    Much has been said about sunsets at Manila Bay. This bit of heaven is available at the Mandara community.

    Aware of the stressful life of a city dweller, LCI designed the condominium units with the four natural elements of the universe in mind. The result: three different building models, the Amara, Bahia and Radha, all capture the essence of the universe, exuding a calmness that is essential to the mind, body and spirit.

    All the building models have a modern Asian theme. Special attention is given to details that the minimalist Asian Contemporary is known for, to make sure that Mandara exudes elegance and sophistication.

    Amara is the most luxurious of the buildings. It offers the best view of the bay and is the closest to the facilities Mandara has provided.

    A three-story walk up, it is surrounded by lush gardens.

    Bahia is a four-story walk up on stilts that has the parking area at the ground level while the residential units are on the upper three. Its private roof decks and walkways lead to the gardens.

    Radha is a 12-story building designed for the city dweller who loves to live in skyscrapers. Radha offers impressive views of the bay, sunset and the Manila City skyline. There is ample parking space and cozy common lobbies on every residential floor, an amenity to foster goodwill among the neighbors.

    Mandara pays close attention to the comforts that city dwellers deem necessary. There’s 24-hour security, wastewater treatment, backup generators, garbage collection areas and uninterrupted water supply.

    Other facilities include the infinity pool, lap pool and kiddie pool; and playgrounds and landscaped theme parks all around the development.

    To encourage residents to interact, there is a pavilion that holds a function room with a grand viewing deck. Commercial areas for lease are also available, to promote the entrepreneurial spirit of the residents.
