Condominiums --- Box-type, Boring and CROWDED.
Those were my usual first impressions of condo living.. at least they used to be. All that has changed when I read about Woodsville Mansions.
When I was still with Black Ink, a content provider for websites and mobile devices, we had this magazine called "Spaces". My first assignment was to write about Woodsville, which was then still named "Woodsville Viverde Mansions" (for some reason, Robinsons dropped the "Viverde" which I think is still cool). My boss gave me a brochure and other materials that I can read.
The whole time I was reading them, I was imagining myself there that it took me a while to start writing! I never did this with other developments I wrote about but why Woodsville?
Well for one, I love open areas. And Woodsville has lots of them! In fact, the development itself boasts of 70% open spaces to feature 7 landscaped gardens -- each of them has its own personality.
Anyway, my point is that I instantly fell in love with the idea of a development that has this much space. If you think about it, Robinsons would profit much more had they built more buildings instead of creating all these nature-themed gardens. But they didn't, and that's important.
Fast-forward to 2010, I became an Account Manager at Robinsons Land and believe it or not, one of our projects is Woodsville Mansions, the prospective home I fell in love with in the past.
Meeting clients' "wants"
It's a great thing that real estate companies now are finally stepping into our shoes and realizing that customers need something much more than an abode. Together with the changing lifestyle of Filipinos, developers have also revolutionized Condos, especially within Metro Manila where the only things you could see are vehicles, city lights, skyscrapers and fast-walking people. Office workers can now easily de-stress at their homes (condos) and be ready for the next day's challenges.
