Filinvest's Capri Oasis carves dynamic lifestyle

Living in a highly urbanized area may bring residents closer to all necessities, but one may have to bear with traffic congestion going to and from the workplace every single day. Suburban living, on the other hand, may give the serenity one usually aspires, but it can also mean spending long hours on the road and less time with the family.

Which is why the ideal home can only be described as the perfect mix of accessibility, serenity, and security – somewhere in the heart of the city, yet far from its noise and chaos. The ideal home is modern and stylish, yet infused with flourishing greens and gardens. In modern living, one can only call this place an oasis.

In Pasig City lies exactly this kind of home – a welcome refuge from the hustle and bustle of the urban world. The community is called Capri Oasis by Filinvest, inspired by the Italian resort-town of Capri, a picturesque town bathed in a charm of its own courtesy of its Mediterranean vegetation, deep turquoise coastlines and sun-drenched landscapes.

This mid-rise condo community is posed to render a vibrant change to city living, turning it from exhausting to refreshing, invigorating, and truly rewarding. The new condominium community is the latest addition to Filinvest’s series of mid-rise condo hubs in key cities. Occupying a 1.9-hectare prime property along Sixto Antonio Avenue in Maybunga, Pasig, Capri Oasis is accessible via the C-5 Northbound lane-Eagle Street route, giving one the proximity to life’s necessities and demands.

This portrait of worry-free urban living is made even more pleasurable with a range of resort-inspired amenities that are reminiscent of the isle of Capri’s refreshing environs.

A weekend barbecue at the park grounds poses an opportunity to bond with friends and family. Morning laps at the pool, on the other hand, should get you all revved up for the day. A game of tag with the kids at the spacious children’s play areas makes for fun quality time with the family.
If these options do not suffice, then there’s the wellness hub when feeling in the mood to burn those holiday calories or the basketball court when friends are up for a dose of friendly competition. Between well-designed buildings and an array of amenities, one can find tranquility in an afternoon walk at the commune’s open spaces and well-maintained gardens.

In the midst of all these lies a home which complements a modern urbanite’s fast-paced lifestyle and provides the soothing retreat amid the urban jungle. Available are studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units.

This enclave’s round-the-clock security completes the oasis experience. The property has put in place lofty walls and a well-guarded, gated entrance to ensure that residents are safe and secure all the time.

To help experience this oasis sooner, Filinvest is currently offering a special financing scheme and extended-payment promo for buildings Brezza and Solare.

Gotianuns entering infrastructure, power

GOTIANUN-led holding firm Filinvest Development Corp. is planning to go into the infrastructure and utility businesses for the first time, the company told the local bourse yesterday.

The holding firm, whose main business is property development, wants to put up two power plants and a water treatment facility after getting funds from the equity market.
“Filinvest Development is in the planning stages of adding infrastructure and utilities assets to its portfolio of Philippine businesses,” the company said in a disclosure.

“The company is considering two potential clean coal-fired power generation projects, namely a 150-megawatt (MW) project in Luzon and another 150 MW project in the Visayas,” it added.

The listed holding firm is already applying for permits from regulatory authorities.

Filinvest Development also said it was “in negotiations with potential equipment suppliers and potential power off-takers with respect to each project.”

The firm is conducting a feasibility study for a water desalination facility at the site of the proposed Visayas power plant. The water project will be operated using off-peak power from the power plant.

Late in November, shareholders approved the company’s plan to sell shares of stock to raise funds. Stockholders also approved the increase in the authorized capital of the company to P17 billion from P10 billion.

Under the scheme, ALG Holdings Corp., the parent of Filinvest Development, will sell not more than three billion shares in the listed holding firm. Filinvest Development will then issue new shares of the same amount and volume, which will be subscribed to by ALG Holdings.

The price of the share sale will be determined by a lead manager, which has yet to be appointed, Filinvest Development said.

To facilitate its entry into infrastructure and utilities, Filinvest Development said a “senior expert” in the local infrastructure industry will join the company on Jan. 1.

A stock market analyst said Filinvest Development has to “learn the ropes.”

“Definitely it is new food on the table. They will have to learn the ropes [and] they will hire a new work force for that,” Astro C. del Castillo, managing director of brokerage firm First Grade Holdings, Inc., said in a phone interview yesterday.

Mr. del Castillo said there is still a power shortage in the Visayas region that Filinvest Development can plug.

Filinvest Development is also into banking and financial services through East West Banking Corp., and sugar operations through Pacific Sugar Holdings Corp., Davao Sugar Central Co., Inc., Cotabato Sugar Central Co., Inc., and High Yield Sugar Farms Corp.

Filinvest Development’s profits jumped by 159% to P2.91 billion in the nine months that ended in September as property unit Filinvest Land, Inc. reported an uptick in revenues.

Shares in the holding company rose by P0.02 to P4.92 apiece yesterday.
