ILOILO City – Inspired by Italy’s capital city, a new addition to an array of residential towers in the 72-hectare Iloilo Business Park (IBP) is here.
Firenze, Italian for Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, is a home that suits Ilonggo artistry.
The façade of Firenze features classic-inspired Italian architecture, evidenced by the integration of columns, arches, decorative ironworks, and baluster railings.
“We have chosen Florence as the inspiration of this new development because of its charm and interesting character that truly reflect what IBP has become through the years. This is the first time that we have a particular city as an inspiration for our condo in the township – not just Italian, but truly Florentine,” says Jennifer Palmares-Fong, first vice president for sales and marketing, Megaworld Visayas.
Equipped with wireless smart home systems, the 22-story Firenze will offer 415 units that residents can access and control remotely via a smartphone application.
Firenze will rise beside The Palladium at the northern portion of Megaworld Boulevard, just a short walk away to Festive Walk Mall and Festive Walk Parade as well as the Iloilo Museum of Contemporary Art.
Classic beauty, contemporary appeal
Future residents will be welcomed to an airy gold and marble-accented lobby complemented by bold black-and-white floor tiles, which reflects a modern take on the traditional Roman design motif.
Residents could also enjoy top-notch amenities, highlighted by outdoor adult and children’s pool and pool deck. There is also an outdoor lounge, jacuzzi, symmetrical garden, pavilion, children’s playground, and an outdoor fitness area as well as a function hall with its own dry pantry and preparation area, fitness center with yoga room, game room, private dining room, and daycare center.
A variety of green and sustainability features will also be integrated into Firenze including low flow rate fixtures to promote water conservation, occupancy sensors in hallways that help conserve energy, high energy efficiency rating for major equipment, rainwater harvesting and reuse system, and its own material recovery facility.
Vibrant and continuously growing
Prior to Firenze, Megaworld has already launched six residential developments inside Iloilo Business Park, namely One Madison (three towers), Lafayette Parksquare, The Palladium, Saint Honore, Saint Dominique, The Pinnacle.
Aside from these residential offerings, the township has 11 office buildings offering around 182,000 square meters of leasable office spaces, in which three are still under construction.
The township also has two existing first-class business hotels: Richmonde Hotel Iloilo and Courtyard by Marriott Iloilo. These hotels are just beside the iconic Iloilo Convention Center, Festive Walk Mall, and the IBP Transport Hub.
Also rising soon inside IBP township is the Belmont Hotel Iloilo.
Megaworld Corporation is the only Philippine real estate development company to earn a ‘Hall of Fame’ distinction as ‘Best Developer’ after winning the Outstanding Developer Award at the Property and Real Estate Excellence Award by FIABCI Philippines for three straight years (2015, 2016, and 2017).
