“I live in the city. I work here. I love it here,” could well merely be a wish for many. To live close to one’s place of work, or near the schools and the urban center is a luxury that many could only imagine. The harried executive, the tense student, the busy career wife and mother, within the next two years, may look forward to living this dream life – in Cebu, Queen City of the South.

The City of Cebu is the Philippines’s busiest urban environment next to the national capital.  It is a favored place of residence, for many reasons – its rich cultural and historical heritage, the availability of educational institutions and modern conveniences and its proximity to recreational sites.

With the surge in economic activity in Cebu City over the past decade, this central Philippine city has singlehandedly increased its desirability among individuals and families. 

Aboitizland, Inc. put its best and brightest together to respond to a growing demand for attractively-priced, top-of-the-line residences located in the heart of the city.

Continuing in the tradition of providing high-quality products to a discriminating market, Aboitizland unveils in the first quarter of 2008 the Persimmon, its first condominium cluster project, in Mabolo, Cebu City.

The Persimmon will be a compleat commercial and residential development, with generous greenscapes in the middle of it all.  A themed vertical commercial and residential project, the enclave 1.4 hectares hosting four mid-rise towers of up to fifteen stories each.

Each tower will have residential units, landscaped open spaces, function and board rooms and administration and security offices.  There will also be spaces for a supermarket and grocery, restaurants, entertainment areas and utility service providers.

The Persimmon is located within a ten-minute distance from the economic hubs of the city, places of worship, historical sites and academic institutions.

With the Persimmon in their ever-changing landscape, Cebuanos will no longer brood over long drives going to their places of work, or throw away precious time just getting the kids to school.  “This project will revolutionize the definition of living within Cebu City,”  says Jojo Rafaeles, Aboitizland’s Sales Manager.

Rafaeles adds that the project’s design is “well-thought out, very responsive to the needs of the young and upward moving, those who are looking to make their niche in the city.”  “It definitely will be an oasis within the city, a place of calm and comfort, a real urban village,”  he explained.
