THE ASIAWORLD CITY The Asiaworld City sits in the heart of the reclaimed portion of Manila Bay. Sprawling on a reclaimed 172.5 hectare (1,725,299 square meters) land, this island development is bounded by Seaside Channel on the North, the island Waterway and the Manila-Cavite Coastal Road on the East, the Parañaque Channel on the South and the Manila Bay on the West. The Asiaworld City has a direct access to the Coastal Road which links Manila to Cavite and a right of way from Roxas Boulevard through Central Business Park II. The most distinctive picturesque natural feature it offers is the “Sunset at Manila Bay” . LOCATION The island development called “The Asiaworld City” is in the Municipality of Parañaque along the shores of Manila Bay, south of Manila at the southern of Roxas Boulevard. On this prime reclaimed island, MPC has already developed and completely sold out a residential subdivision named Marina East & South and Marina Bayhomes. Fronting scenic Manila Bay. The Asiaworld City is strategically located due to its proximity to Metropolitan Manila’s urban centers. Just twenty minutes away from downtown Manila, fifteen minutes from Makati’s business center and an average of five minutes from either the domestic or international airport. The property is located along Manila Bay. Most notable among the reclaimed works in Manila Bay is the sprawling Cultural Center Complex which includes the proposed central business park located just a few kilometers north of the property. Further up north are the Luneta Park, the American Embassy compound and the historic Manila Hotel. Roxas Boulevard is the main thorough late in the area, lined with multi story office and residential buildings and condominium, hotels and rows of tourist oriented night clubs and restaurants. RECLAMATION The Asiaworld City is part of the reclaimed foreshore of Manila Bay, which was started in 1977 and was finally completed by 1980. Filling materials for the subdivision were taken from the original sea bed. Dredged filling ranged from about two to almost ten meters in total thickness and is composed of highly heterogeneous pockets of materials ranging from coarse to clayey sits with shell fragments in varying amounts. The underlying soft natural sediments are marine clayey sits and highly plastic clays which typically comprise the (geologically) recent alluvial deposits in the bay area. Alluvium are found at depths of at least 10 meters, and is undertaken by very stiff or hard sit/clay strata or weathered sedimentary rocks. CONTAINMENT

The Asiaworld City is an island, connected to the main thoroughfare (Roxas Boulevard) by bridge and to the R-1. Expressway by a cause way. It is fully contained by concrete piles and panels along the northern, southern and eastern portions, and by rocks bulkhead installed for protection against strong waves along the western section. The concrete wall was constructed by driving pre-east concrete II-piles at equal distance, inserting concrete panels to serve as the wall, and installing along the exterior of the wall Class III rocks to balance the pressure exerted by the soil towards the wall. A concrete pile cap was then installed on top of the II-piles and panels to connect the piles together to form one complete wall. In the western portion of the island, fronting the bay, a rockmound bulkhead was used. Here, Class III rocks were installed to serve as the one with the bottom elevation reaching down the original seabed. Class I rocks, weighing a minimum of 1.5 tons each, were then placed on top of the core, sloping towards the bay as wave deflectors to reduce the intensity of wave action upon hitting the rockmound. SOIL FOUNDATION AND STABILIZATION Manila has had a long history of reclamation works also along the bay area. Among the notable reclaimed areas in Manila are potions of Roxas Boulevard and of Luneta, the American Embassy grounds, and the Cultural Venter Complex. Experience in these areas prove that with proper construction, long term stability of the ground is assured and high-rise structures can be safely built after applying a suitable modern technique of ground improvement and/or using bored pile foundations. Contrary to speculations about the nature of reclaimed areas, the soil of The Asiaworld City has an exceptional load bearing capacity and strength. More so because the reclamation of the area began in 1977 or eleven years ago, allowing more than the six-year period required for water displacement and soil consolidation. Initial soil study was conducted by Soil Mechanics Ltd., a British firm. Said study was then evaluated by Louk Kok & Partners from the Netherlands, consultants and world-renowned soil consolidation experts. AND USE PLAN The Asiaworld City is planned as a self-contained community in keeping with the highlyquality than design envisioned for the entire reclamation area. The intention is to enhance shortand-long-run property values by providing convenience and privacy in a meticulously-planned, balance and controlled community growth. Thus it is conceived as a prime residential subdivision complete with a neighborhood Shopping Center, pocket Parks and Recreational area, proposed Sports Center, Medical Center (Doña King PaoGuat), Exclusive School, 5-Star Hotel (The Asiaworld Plaza Hotel), Shopping Mall & Theaters, Office buildings and Financial District, proposed World Trade Center, Residential District, etc.

UTILITIES Roadways The subdivision has asphalted concrete roads conforming to the specifications of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The main roads’ right of ways range from 20 to 30 meters while the interior roads right of ways range from 12 to 16 meters. The typical width of planting strips and sidewalks on both sides of the roads are 1.5 meters and 1.2 meters respectively. Electricity and Street Lighting Electricity is supplied by the Manila Electric Company (MERALCO) via an overhead installation on concrete electric posts which is connected to a proposed subdivision situated within the subdivision. Water System Pipes laid out in the subdivision are directly connected to the Metropolitan Waterworks and directly connected to the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) main line along Quirino Avenue. Sewage Collection and Treatment System MPC has a complete Sanitary System Sewage collection is done through main sewer lines laid along the major roads. Series of lift stations are built at the strategic areas to facilitate waste water flow. These lift stations are provided with by-pass lines to prevent service disruption during power failure. Drainage System A proven and efficient drainage system to prevent flooding is in operation.

GOLDEN BAY CONDOMINIUMS PROJECT

The Golden Bay Condominiums Project is Divided into two namely, GB-1 and GB-2. These Condominiums will be erected in 2 rows, parallel to each other. Golden Bay 1 comprises The Cleveland Tower, Mc Kinley Tower, Wilson Tower, Giant Tower, Hoover Tower, Roosevelt Tower, and Kennedy. Golden Bay 2, the other side comprises Washington Tower, Adams Tower, Jefferson Tower, Madison Tower, Monroe Tower, Jackson Tower, and Lincoln. At present, GB-1 A Cleveland Tower is 98% completed, and GB-2A Washington Tower is nearing to its completion. These two (2) buildings have the same footprint of 2876 sq.m. The tower itself of GB-1A is 1,585 sq.m., and 1,470 sq.m. for GB-2A. FOUNDATION The foundations of both towers are supported by concrete bored piles anchored on the rock formation which is 45 meters below the existing ground level. These bored piles has the capacity to carry vertical and earthquake loads of large magnitude. These buildings are designed as an earthquake resistant building. The building used high compressive strength concrete and high grade reinforcing steel bars for all columns, shearwalls, and beams, which are the earthquake resisting members. These buildings are both 30-storewy with 3-basement parkings, and a helipad. Cleveland Tower has a 100 typical and 8 penthouse units. Washington has 108 typical and 4 penthouse units. There are 4 units in each floor level. Our amenities includes, swimming pool for adult and children, gymnasium, function room, children’s playroom, sauna, and spacious main lobby. ELEVATORS Both buildings have 3 passenger elevators, with a maximum capacity of 15 persons each, and has a speed of 3.50 meters/second. For the service elevator, the maximum load is 1600 kgs, and has a speed of 2.50 meters/second. Our elevators are Schindler brand. WATER SUPPLY For the water supply, we have an underground water reservoir located below the basement-3 with a capacity of 60,ooo gallons for domestic consumption, 60,000 gallons for the fire tank, and 30,000 gallons at deck roof. Our water supply comes from MWSS, tap to Quirino Avenue main water pipe lines. The building is equipped with a fully automatic sprinkler system and fire alarm system complete with smoke detectors.

ELECTRICAL We have a stand-by generator with a capacity 750 kva, enough to operate the elevators, pumps lighting on common areas, partial lighting and outlets in the units, except for aircon units., We have provided matv, lighting arrester, video entry phone, paging system, telephone

lines and intercom. Also, provisions for satellite disc and sky cable. For the metering, we have adapted the multi-metering system. ARCHITECTURAL FINISH We used PVC for all windows and curtain walls, manufactured by Nan Ya Plastics from Taiwan. Glass and glazing of windows are all tempered designed to withstand wind load up to 100 psf. We have also provided, and now completed the 2 million gallons water reservoir located at Manila East to supply the condominiums requirement, with a 350 kva generator in case of power failure. For further technical inquiries, we shall attend to what later in our question and answer panel.

RECLAMATION The entire Marina Complex is a 173-hectare, bounded on the eastern side by the seaside channel, on southern side by Parañaque channel, and Manila Bay at the back portion. Upon the

completion of the proposed reclamation of the inland Channel located between Aguinaldo Boulevard, formerly Coastal Road and the existing Marina Complex, the total area will be 184.3 hectare.

Marina property was reclaimed 20 years ago by CDCP. We acquired this property in the last quarter of 1988. There then, we started the planning, and consequently, the construction proper.

Marina Complex is divided into 3 segments, from Coastal Road to Luzon Avenue is the commercial block with a total area of 34.3 hectares. Second, the housing area known as Marina East and South from Luzon Avenue to Atlantic Avenue with a total area of 36 hectares, lastly, the residential condominiums from Atlantic Avenue to Manila Bay with a total area of 64 hectares. Rest of remaining areas goes to the road network.

CLEVELAND TOWER The Ground Floor: The main lobby is located at the ground floor. Adopting contemporary constructional methods, post modernism is conceptualized. Round modern columns with slight mutation were

provided to do away with visual dullness. The provision of a high ceiling did not only effect roominess, but permitted natural ventilation as well. Blending architecture with nature, such was so designed, that from the lobby’s cozy lounge, we can have a view of the spacious lanai fronting a waterfall emanating from the landscaped gardens. Thus, adding coolness to the refreshing ambiance in a hornely atmosphere. Completing the lobby are the hanging exotic chandeliers, elegantly crafted furniture’s and finely treated walls and ceiling. The ground floor also houses the function room, swimming pools, play area, nursery, gymnasium and separate saunas for men and women with adjoining bathrooms and toilets. To the left of the main entrance is the reception area along with the offices, Mailboxes were also provided. The provision of guard houses on this floor will maintain order and security inside the building. The Residential Units: Rising from the 2nd floor is the typical one level, 3 bedroom (with den) unit floor, containing four apartments, reaching up to the 28th floor. Introduction to each of the units is a foyer. The main feature is the living-dining area. Then the bedrooms along the perimeter of the building. The functional area like the kitchen and laundry, including the maid’s room and toilet are so located not being obtrusive along the main core. The balcony is accessible to both the den and the living room, hence, the use of half glass railing so as not to neglect its view from such areas. The Penthouse: At the 29th and 30th floor is the penthouse. A two-level units each which consist of spacious living area, a dining room, a den, three bedrooms, and one master’s bedroom, and of course the functional area like the kitchen and utility room. The upper level is provided with a cantilever stair hallway overlooking the foyer and living room below. It has a kitchenette included and a small balcony adjacent to one of the three bedrooms on the upper level.
