A Homecoming Haven
Leak-free pipes, perfectly working lights and shiny flooring — this is how you left your home more than a year ago. Logically, you expect the same, perfect home to welcome you when you come back. Realistically, however, it’s the opposite that happens.
For many overseas Filipinos, home maintenance has always been a problem.

“I have been employed here in the States for 20 years now. The Philippines is still my home, and want my kids to enjoy it here every time we come back. I’m just worried because we all stay abroad all year, and all our other relatives are in Batangas,” says Rebecca Lingao, a mortgage analyst in San Dimas, California.

“Hardworking Filipinos deserve their reward: a home that offers them a satisfying lifestyle, and a warm welcome every time they come back,” says Community Innovations Project Development Manager Roann Hinolan. “But even if they have the resources to buy this kind of property, they cannot because it will be inconvenient.”

Ayala Land’s Community Innovations combines the tenets of ideal home living with the practicality needed by overseas workers with its development, The Columns Legazpi Village. The Columns serves as the haven for the balikbayan who needs a home that will best meet his expectations of a comfortable retreat as it is only a few steps from the many conveniences at the Makati Central Business District and the one-of-a-kind treats of Legazpi Village.

The Columns’ lifestyle also complements world-class residential living with its first-rate amenities like the Recreational Club, a zone which is comprised of a 25-meter lap pool, sun deck, kiddie pool, indoor and outdoor play areas, jogging area, function and guest rooms, and a day care center. It also houses the 450 sq.m. “Fitness Hub,” by far the largest condo-based gym in its class.

“Those who want to buy a property as an investment or who are not ready to settle yet in their units don’t need to worry while they are away. The Ayala Property Management Corporation (APMC) can take care of that,” says Hinolan.

APMC provides the residents with property management services, including building administration and maintenance, commercial center and subdivision maintenance, and special technical services. Commercial centers like the Ayala Malls and Alabang Town Center, office buildings like the Makati Stock Exchange, residential properties like the One Roxas Triangle are now benefiting from the premium services of APMC. 

APMC ensures property owners well-maintained and secure homes as it supervises water, electricity, carpark and safety system operations. APMC also provides the highest level of leasing assistance to homeowners who want to maximize the value of their property. It takes responsibility in negotiating lease rates and assures continued occupancy of the leased properties and takes charge of the leasing, furnishing and property management of the leased units.
