Out to redefine urban luxury, Shang Properties Inc. and Robinson’s Land Corporation have joined forces to bring us Aurelia Residences at Bonifacio Global City.

The Aurelia Residences Scale Model 

"Sprezzatura" is defined as effortless, understated elegance. It’s elegance that isn’t ostentatious or showy. It’s the kind of luxury that’s self-assured and knows it is, and doesn’t have to impress or remind you. It was first coined in the 16th century to describe facets of Italian art and literature and became associated with fashion, design and lifestyle in the 20th century as epitomized by the likes of Gianni Agnelli. Prada, Tods, and Ferragamo are also seen as fashion-brand purveyors of this nonchalant, seemingly effortless approach to taste, class and elegance.

Karol Estavillo, COO & CFO Shang Properties Inc., and President of Shang Robinsons Properties Inc., Frederick Go, President of Robinsons Land Corp. and Chairman of Shang Robinsons Properties Inc., Taguig Mayor Lino Cayetano, James Go, Chairman of JG Summit Holdings, Wilfred Woo, Executive Director of Shang Properties Inc., and Vice-Chairman of Shang Robinsons Properties Inc., Lance Gokongwei, President & CEO of JG Summit Holdings Inc., Inho Rhee, Studio Head & Associate Director of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, and Francesca Muzio, FM Archittetura d’Interni Director

The 400 square meter three-bedroom show unit exemplifies this ‘Sprezzatura’ attitude. It’s thoughtful, timeless, classic without looking staid or old, and possesses great attention to detail. The master bedroom has separate his and hers dressing areas. The service kitchen has a breakfast nook for quick, informal dining and late-night snacks. And in the main living area, there’s a fully functional show kitchen for the homeowner who’s proud of his or her own culinary skills. Throughout the unit, the architect and interior designer saw it fit to create little nooks and corners that bestowed a little sense of privacy within the confines of the available space.

A first in history: PH gets investment grade

A first in history: PH gets investment grade 

By Kim Arveen Patria | Yahoo! Southeast Asia Newsroom – Wed, Mar 27, 2013

 The Philippines bagged a landmark vote of confidence as global debt watcher Fitch raised the country's credit rating to investment grade Wednesday.

For the first time in history, the Philippines is deemed as an econmy where it is safe for global investors to pour in capital.

Fitch Ratings said the country's long-term foreign-currency issuer default rating (IDR) is now up to BBB- from BB+. The long-term local-currency IDR has likewise been raised to BBB from BBB-.

An investment grade is seen to lower the Philippines' borrowing cost, thereby increasing opportunities for the government to save.

"The Philippine economy has been resilient, expanding 6.6% in 2012 amid a weak global economic backdrop," Fitch said in a statement posted on its website.

Key drivers for the credit rating hike, Fitch said, are strong external balance sheets, a persistent current account surplus and high remittances.

Fitch also lauded reforms implemented under the previous and present administrations, which it said led to "favorable macroeconomic outturns."

"Improvements in fiscal management begun under President Arroyo have made general government debt dynamics more resilient to shocks," Fitch said.

Fitch is the first debt watcher to give the Philippines an investment grade, even as two other rating firms place the Philippines only a notch lower.

Standard & Poor's considers the Philippines a BB+ market at present while Moody's Investors Service gave it a Ba1 rating.

Welcoming the long-awaited credit rating upgrade, President Benigno Aquino III said the development will "encourage even greater interest and investments in our country."

"This is an institutional affirmation of our good governance agenda," Aquino said in a statement posted on the Official Gazette.

"Sound fiscal management and integrity-based leadership has led to a resurgent economy in the face of uncertainties in the global arena," he added.

Also commenting on the upgrade, Asian Development Bank Country Economist Norio Usui said it "can trigger the kind of investment that will help carry the country into its next phase of development."

"Prudent measures to attract investment, improve the business climate and diversify the economy have paved the way for growth," he added.

The ADB official however challenged authorities "to make that growth more inclusive by creating more and better jobs."

Billionaire Gokongwei to Join Magnate Okada in New Casino

Billionaire Gokongwei to Join Magnate Okada in New Casino

By Ian Sayson & Vinicy Chan - Dec 13, 2012 5:04 PM GMT+0800

Bloomberg.com

Billionaire John Gokongwei will become a partner of Japanese pachinko magnate Kazuo Okada to build a Manila casino, projected to cost more than $2 billion in what would be the biggest such investment in the Philippines.

Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC), controlled by Gokongwei, signed a preliminary agreement with Okada’s Universal Entertainment Group for the project, the Manila-based developer and Tokyo-based Universal said in separate statements yesterday.

Okada, who holds a casino license awarded by the Philippine government, and former partner Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN)Chairman Steve Wynn are feuding over accusations of bribery. While the Philippines has said it will cancel Okada’s license if bribery is proven, analysts such as Macau-based Grant Govertsen at Union Gaming Group said they are concerned about the appetite for such a large number of casinos in the Southeast Asia nation.

“It can hardly support two integrated resorts,” said Govertsen. “We’d doubt if these companies will be able to generate a meaningful return for their investment.”

Universal (6425), which makes the pinball-like machines used in pachinko parlors where customers play for prizes, said in September 2011 it would invest $2.3 billion in the project.

This figure “stands for now” and details and exact amount will be known next month when a final agreement is reached, Universal spokesman Nobuyuki Horiuchi said by telephone today. Robinsons Land President Frederick Go could not immediately provide a project cost today.

Fountains, Sand Beach

The final contract will be signed by Jan. 31, according to Universal’s statement. In addition to the casino, the resort complex will also have luxurious hotels, restaurants, commercial facilities, a budget hotel, residences and “Vegas-style water fountains and an enormous indoor pool with real sand beach covered by a huge glass dome,” Universal said.

Robinsons Land will be in charge of the development of commercial facilities and budget hotels and housing facilities for the project, Universal said.

Okada can’t open a casino in Manila if bribery accusations against him are proven, Cristino Naguiat, chairman of Philippine Amusement & Gaming Corp., said on Dec. 10. Philippine justice department is investigating bribery allegations against Okada, presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said Nov. 19.

Weighed Risks

Gokongwei would have weighed the risks for forging a partnership with Okada, Richard Laneda, an analyst at Manila- based COL Financial Group Inc. said.

“Gokongwei group is known to be very conservative and they don’t make investments without weighing the risk,” said Laneda. If the license is canceled later “then the Gokongwei group can bid for it or negotiate with whoever gets.”

As part of the agreement, Robinsons Land, a builder of offices and homes, will acquire majority of Eagle I Land Holdings Inc., which owns 30 hectares in the government’s PAGCOR Entertainment City project, and purchase a minority stake in Tiger Resorts, Leisure and Entertainment Inc., which owns the license to develop and manage a casino resort in the complex, according to the statements.

Competition

Shares of Universal rose 6.5 percent to 1,409 yen at the close in Tokyo trading, the most since July 13. Robinsons Land was unchanged at 21.50 pesos at the close in Manila, JG Summit Holdings Inc. (JGS), Gokongwei’s publicly-listed holding company, climbed 1.5 percent to 39.50 pesos.

Okada and Gokongwei’s venture will compete with partnerships between Philippine billionaire Andrew Tan and Genting Hong Kong Ltd.; a venture of Philippine billionaire Henry Sy and Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd.; and Bloomberry Resorts Corp. (BLOOM), controlled by port magnate Enrique Razon.

Melco Crown signed an agreement with Belle Corp., PremiumLeisure & Amusement Inc. and SM Investments Corp. to jointly invest $1 billion in the Manila casino resorts. Genting Hong Kong and Alliance Global Group Inc. plan to jointly invest $1.2 billion in the next three years on their new casino project Resorts World Bayshore, they now operate Resorts World Manila.

Robinsons Land is the nation’s second-largest shopping mall operator, while parent JG Summit’s other ventures include Cebu Air Inc., the nation’s biggest budget carrier.

The Sapphire Bloc - Robinsons Land unveils project in Ortigas CBD

Robinsons Land unveils project in Ortigas CBD

By Doris C. Dumlao

6:02 pm | Monday, November 19th, 2012 

Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA, Philippines—Robinsons Land Corp. of the Gokongwei group has unveiled its biggest property project at the Ortigas central business district to date—a lifestyle-oriented block consisting of four residential towers and a retail hub.

RLC acquired additional parcels of land in Ortigas to form the 8,300-square-meter “The Sapphire Bloc,” which will have four residential towers and a 2,000-sqm retail space for gourmet restaurants, dessert bars as well as coffee shops and service outlets, officials said in a briefing on Monday.

In an interview, RLC vice president for business development and financing Mybelle Aragon-Gobio said RLC originally owned only 2,500 square meters of land in the area that was supposed to accommodate only two residential buildings. But encouraged by the strong takeup of the first Sapphire tower, she said RLC took the opportunity to acquire adjacent properties foreclosed by banks and come out with this development bounded by Sapphire, Garnet and Onyx streets.

Aragon-Gobio said the 38-story first tower, which was launched a year ago, would likely yield P1.6 billion in sales revenue. RLC has now sold 60 percent of the 408 units in the first tower. The 40-story second tower, which will have 482 units, will be launched next year.

RLC will turn over the residential units in tower 1 by 2016, when the retail component on the ground floor opens its doors to the public, she said.

The Sapphire Bloc is offering one-bedroom units, the biggest of which measures 37.30 sqm, for P4.16 million. Two-bedroom units, measuring 60 sqm, are selling for P6.74 million. The three-bedroom units, at 97 sqm, go for as much as P10.77 million.

The units are effectively selling for around P110,000 per square meter.

Aragon-Gobio said the project was in line with RLC’s thrust toward “selective prudent expansion” in the residential property market.

“We’re focusing on the market that’s more stable,” she explained.

The Art Deco-inspired project is designed by W.V. Coscoluella and Associates, one of the country’s top architecture firms.

Robinsons brings mall projects to Malabon | 21 Oct 2012

Robinsons brings mall projects to Malabon 
By Zinnia B. Dela Peña | The Philippine Star | 21 Oct 2012

MANILA, Philippines - Gokongwei-led Robinsons Land Corp. is invading Malabon, one of the most highly populated areas in Metro Manila with the construction of the two-level Robinsons Town Mall.

Robinsons Town Mall, the 17th mall in RLC’s growing chain of shopping malls, will rise on a 23,000 squaremeter lot along Gov. Pascual and Crispin Sts., Tinajeros, Malabon.

The mall, which will have a gross floor area of 17,104.83 sqm., will be home to more than 250 tenants.

“Given the population density and the relatively few malls in Malabon, we believe there is an opportunity to put up a community mall that will address the basic needs of residents not just of Malabon but even Navotas and parts of Valenzuela and Caloocan,” said Arlene G. Magtibay, RLC general manager for commercial centers.

Malabon, which has more than 350,000 residents, is home to many small and medium enterprises.

The city of Malabon has originally been regarded as traditional fishing village. The past years, however, have seen the rise of various businesses and industries, which is a clear proof that it has indeed come a long way.

Magtibay said Robinsons Town Mall would be “substantially elevated” from the street level to ensure that the structure will remain flood-free.

The mall will also have ample parking space for both private cars and public transport.

Robinsons Land is the company behind the residential condominium development of:

• The Magnolia Residences in New Manila, Quezon City

• The Sapphire Bloc in Ortigas Center Pasig

• Gateway Regency in Pioneer Mandaluyong
