Real estate and spirits tycoon Andrew Tan’s Megaworld Corporation is launching the P1.8 billion Maple Park Residences, its third residential condominium development in its 140-hectare Maple Grove township in General Trias, Cavite.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the firm said the 14-story Maple Park Residences will rise inside the 35-hectare Maple Grove Commercial District—directly in front of a lush green park.

Maple Park Residences will offer a total of 200 “smart home” units in varying unit types and sizes ranging from Studio (up to 30 square meters), Studio with Balcony (up to 35 square meters), One Bedroom with and without Balcony (up to 44.5 square meters), and Two Bedroom with and without Balcony (up to 76.5 square meters).

All units at Maple Park Residences will be equipped with wireless smart home systems that can be accessed remotely using a dedicated phone app. 

This feature gives future residents the ease and convenience of controlling several unit features, including lighting fixtures and other smart appliances in the living, kitchen, and dining areas as well as the bedroom.

“The concept behind Maple Park Residences draws inspiration from the Scandinavian countries as well as communities in Makati where residents are surrounded by lush open spaces in the middle of a modern and urban city,” said Megaworld First Vice President for Sales and Marketing Eugene Lozano. 

Further embracing the identity of Maple Grove as Cavite’s sustainable Makati-inspired central business district, Maple Park Residences is poised to rise as the first-ever Megaworld residential condominium development that will feature a dedicated electronic vehicle (EV)-charging facility at the parking area that can accommodate multiple vehicles at a time.

Aside from the EV-charging facility, Maple Park Residences will also be integrated with several other green and sustainability features. 

Among these are low flow rate fixtures to promote water conservation, occupancy sensors in hallways and parking floors that help conserve energy, LED lights for units and common areas, rainwater harvesting system, and its own materials recovery facility.

Several retail spaces will be occupying the ground floor area while the second level will have amenities such as an adult pool with in-water lounge, children’s pool, pool deck, and an alfresco lounge area. There will also be a fitness gym, children’s playground, and a function room.

Maple Park Residences will be accessible via the six-lane, 30-meter wide Maple Grove Boulevard, which was recently integrated into the 12-kilometer General Trias-Tanza Bypass Road project by the local government of Cavite and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). 

The road opens at Maple Grove, then traverses Tejero and San Juan, before leading directly to the Malabon Grande Bridge in Tanza, Cavite.

“Apart from the link between Maple Grove’s road networks and the Gentri Bypass road, the future direct link between the Cavite Laguna Expressway (CALAX) exit and Open Canal will significantly cut down travel time for all Maple Grove residents, especially those coming from Metro Manila, other cities in Cavite, and even Laguna,” Lozano added.
