Property giant Megaworld Corporation has launched its sixth residential condominium project inside the 30-hectare The Mactan Newtown in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu province: the Positano Mactan.
“This residential project is inspired by the elegance and beauty of the picturesque Italian seaside destination off the Amalfi Coast that carries the same name,” says Jennifer Palmares-Fong, first vice president for sales and marketing at Megaworld Visayas.
“We continue to see an overwhelming demand for living spaces here at The Mactan Newtown, which is why we have chosen to offer this [project] to further highlight the island vibe and the exciting lifestyle that residents have come to love in this master-planned township,” she adds.
To rise near the city’s historic Lapu-Lapu Shrine, Positano Mactan will feature two floors designated as retail areas, whose design is inspired by the Italian town’s vibrant public markets.
‘Smart home’ units
Positano Mactan will offer 301 “smart home” units of different types: Studio (up to 33 square meters), Executive Studio (41 sq m), One bedroom (up to 51.5 sq m), Executive One Bedroom (up to 61 sq m), Two Bedroom (up to 78 sq m), and Three Bedroom (up to 141 square meters).
The project will also offer other unit types that will be seen for the first time at The Mactan Newtown: One Bedroom Loft (up to 81.5 sq m), Two Bedroom Loft (136.5 sq m), Three Bedroom Bi-Level (up to 166 sq m), Three Bedroom Loft (189.5 sq m), and Three Bedroom Loft with Terrace (up to 264.5 sq m).
‘Green’-minded
Eco-friendly features will be integrated into Positano Mactan: energy-generating outdoor fitness equipment; low flow rate fixtures to promote water conservation; occupancy sensors in hallways and parking floors that help conserve energy; LED lights; a rainwater-harvesting system; and materials recovery facility.
Megaworld expects to generate sales of about P2 billion from Positano Mactan, which is scheduled for completion in 2028.
Currently, The Mactan Newtown hosts more than 2,000 residential condominium units from nine existing towers and two soon-to-rise projects, and nearly 81,000 square meters of gross leasable office spaces.
The township also features two hotels operated by Megaworld Hotels & Resorts: the 18-story Savoy Hotel Mactan and the 20-story Belmont Hotel Mactan. Together, they have 1,097 rooms.
Also in the township is the La Sallian-supervised Newtown School of Excellence Inc. It will soon be joined by a convention center, museum and two-level “beach mall” for the enjoyment of visitors.
