THERE’S nothing quite like the feeling of owning a limited edition. Whether it’s an art piece, haute couture, sports memorabilia, or the latest road rager, there’s a thrill and a sense of accomplishment in acquiring something unique, something that shows off our distinct personality.
This search for the one-of-a-kind experience is especially true when it comes to investing in a home. Given today’s myriad of options, the aim is to acquire something to cover all facets of what it means to be special—something distinctly beautiful, passionately created by people who are masters of their craft, and especially built to last.
As Campanilla Lane by Mañosa Properties approaches completion, take a look at one of the most unique developments and developers in the country today.
Campanilla Lane is an exclusive enclave of only 21 units. Built with the very distinct Mañosa design philosophy, it carries the trademark of the renowned design firm of Arch. Francisco Mañosa—marrying traditional Filipino elements with contemporary architecture and innovative green design. “We designed Campanilla Lane as we do all our homes to showcase the beauty and functionality of Filipino artisanal design,” Mañosa Properties CEO Dino Mañosa said. “Campanilla Lane is different from our other projects only in that it is a little more luxurious and customized than our other projects to date. In fact, it’s unlikely that this particular unit mix will be replicated again.”
The low density residential development offers an uncommon mix of four four-story Mañosa villas and 16 luxury condominiums—one to a floor in Building One, and two to a floor in Building Two.
The final mix, Dino explains, was the result of over 55 schemes considered to create the best configuration for the community, without sacrificing the mature trees on the property. “We’re not your typical cookie-cutter developer. We have always focused on the integrity of our designs, their impact on the environment, and the experience of the families that will live in our homes over squeezing the most profit out of a project,” Dino explained.
This strategy has paid off for Mañosa Properties. In 2016 Campanilla Lane was awarded a Highly Commended Residential Development citation from the International Property Awards, an award given to the Asia-Pacific region’s most exceptional property and real-estate developments. Additionally, despite an admittedly hefty price tag, less than 10 percent of the Campanilla Lane inventory remains, with the massive villas being the first to be snatched up.
Celebrating Filipino culture and craftsmanship
Every aspect of Campanilla Lane’s design contributes to a celebration of Filipino craftsmanship, culture and concern for the environment.
“One of our company’s core values is to ‘Love the land you live in,’” Dino said. “Every structure we create uses locally sourced sustainable materials and native design elements wherever possible.” He added that even the plants chosen for the community’s landscaping are endemic to the land, and serve a particular purpose.
The villas are designed to be multigenerational, made for more than one family to live in. This is especially true for close-knit Filipino families who love to extend their homes to their kids and grandchildren. The four-story luxury villa comes with its own elevator and two master bedrooms.
The apartment units are generously apportioned, measuring 260 square meters, and featuring three bedrooms, plus a den or flex room, and an open plan living and dining area to allow plenty of room for family interaction.
Green design: A true investment for the future
Campanilla Lane’s green design provides added value to its intimate community of homeowners. Each home and the community as a whole was planned to take advantage of natural lighting and passive cooling techniques, to help households conserve energy and ultimately lower their power bills. Campanilla Lane also has its own sewage treatment plant, and will use solar energy for select common areas to keep homeowners’ dues manageable.
For those looking for a place to call their own, investing in a Mañosa home should be a rewarding experience. Campanilla Lane is a one-of-a-kind development for a lucky few. “It has always been our goal to create communities we ourselves would love to live in. Campanilla Lane delivers on that, and more,” Dino said.
