Persimmon’s West Tower on track

STRUCTURAL development of the 15-storey The Persimmon West Tower has been completed and AboitizLand, Inc. marked the construction milestone with a topping-off ceremony last Oct. 30.

The tower is the first of four residential condominium buildings set on the 1.4-hectare village in Mabolo, Cebu City, which was launched early last year. Construction of the West Tower started in April 2008.


The West Tower’s 157 residential units are due for turnover to vecinos (Spanish for neighbors) in early 2010, the developer said in a press statement.

AboitizLand, it said, remains the only condominium developer in Cebu turning over its units to vecinos within two years of purchase confirmation.

Its “continuously building and on-target” approach, coupled with a solid reputation for well-designed, high-quality communities, buoyed sales of The Persimmon West Tower.

For the topping-off ceremony, AboitizLand executives, led by Chief Operations Officer Andoni Aboitiz, celebrated with lunch at which they were joined by the construction workers assigned on-site.

Community

Aboitiz thanked the workers for their dedication, acknowledging that their efforts “make The Persimmon a possibility today, and in just a few years from now, a reality.”

Also at the event were representatives of The Persimmon’s general contractor, Dakay Construction and Development Corporation, project managers Asian Technicon Managers and Consultants, Inc., officials of Barangay Mabolo and residents of the areas surrounding the village.

The company continues its mission of developing nurturing communities with The Persimmon, its press stament said.

The project is designed with generous “greenscapes” that include the mabolo tree, from which the village got its name.

In a related development, AboitizLand recently adopted Gil Tudtud St. in Mabolo. Its memorandum of agreement with the Cebu City Government binds the company to widen and beautify the road and install traffic and security personnel to promote order and safety in the area. (PR)
