Urban township developer Megaworld Corporation is launching its sixth residential condominium project with a market value of P2 billion inside the 30-hectare The Mactan Newtown in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the firm said the 17-storey Positano Mactan will offer 301 “smart home” units in varying types with sizes.
These units will range from Studio (up to 33 square meters), Executive Studio (41 sqm.), One Bedroom (up to 51.5 sqm.), Executive One Bedroom (up to 61 sqm), Two Bedroom (up to 78 sqm), and Three Bedroom (up to 141 sqm).
The project will also offer other unit types that will be seen for the first time at The Mactan Newtown. These include One Bedroom Loft (up to 81.5 sqm.), Two Bedroom Loft (136.5 sqm.), Three Bedroom Bi-Level (up to 166 sqm.), Three Bedroom Loft (189.5 sqm.), and Three Bedroom Loft with Terrace (up to 264.5 sqm.).
All units will have their own cooktop burners, with two-bedroom and three-bedroom units having their own built-in ovens. Split-type air-conditioning units will come standard in both the living and dining areas across all units.
“This residential project is inspired by the elegance and beauty of the picturesque Italian seaside destination off the Amalfi Coast that carries the same name,” said Megaworld Visayas First Vice President for Sales and Marketing Jennifer Palmares-Fong.
She added that, “We continue to see an overwhelming demand for living spaces here at The Mactan Newtown, which is why we have chosen to offer this concept to further highlight the island vibe and the exciting lifestyle that residents have come to love in this master-planned township.”
Rising near the historic Lapu-Lapu Shrine, Positano Mactan will feature two floors of retail area, whose design is inspired by the vibrant public markets of Positano.
Each unit at Positano Mactan will be equipped with a wireless smart home system and that residents can access and control remotely via a smartphone app. Units will also have smart home devices with WiFi routers, video intercom, and standby backup power for select areas in all units.
At the fifth level, future residents will enjoy a host of amenities, including an adult infinity pool, wet lounge and pool deck, children’s pool with water play, and cabanas.
There’s also a reading nook, an outdoor fitness area, children’s playground, daycare, a bi-level game room, fitness gym equipped with lockers and male and female toilets and changing rooms, and a high-ceiling, pillar-less function room with outdoor spill-over area that can host up to 90 guests.
A pair of first-in-the-township amenities will also be featured at Positano Mactan. These include a loft-type private dining room equipped with a full working kitchen, and dining and lounge furniture that can accommodate up to 18 people, and terrazas (sky lounges) landscaped with flowering shrubs, vines, medium-sized trees, and mini statues where residents can relax and converge.
The property will feature a total of eight terrazas located on the 14th and 16th floors, respectively.
A variety of green and sustainability features will also be integrated into Positano Mactan. These include energy-generating outdoor fitness equipment, low flow rate fixtures to promote water conservation, occupancy sensors in hallways and parking floors that help conserve energy, LED lights, rainwater harvesting system, and its own materials recovery facility.
