Waking up each day to the aromatic scents of lush gardens, bathing under the gentle touch of the sun, relaxing in a homey café, and taking a stroll around a secluded community reminiscent of a quaint Italian city sounds like a rare and precious commodity nowadays, especially inside the concrete jungle of a central business district.

That is why Megaworld, the country’s leading real estate developer and pioneer of the “Live-Work-Play-Learn” township concept in the Philippines, brings to Manila a relaxed, Italian-inspired garden living through The Florence.

Noli D. Hernandez, Megaworld’s senior vice president, shares that, “Megaworld brings the Tuscan lifestyle in the country. Residents will get to enjoy living in a gated community amidst the vibrant McKinley Hill township.”

The prominent McKinley Hill is known to be Megaworld’s largest township in Metro Manila at 50 hectares. This integrated urban township is a place where people can experience lights, sounds, and tastes inspired by Italy at every turn. It is also home to the McKinley Hill Stadium, the country’s first world-class, competition-ready football field, and the famous Venice Piazza inspired by Venice’s Piazza di San Marco.

To add to its Italian appeal, McKinley Hill will also bring the sights and sounds of the city of Venice with its highly anticipated premiere commercial establishment, The Grand Canal Mall. The mall will be McKinley Hill’s new lifestyle destination which will feature the country’s first man-made Grand Canal complete with authentic Italian gondolas.

Unique garden community

Megaworld welcomes The Florence as a residential garden community with picturesque sceneries of lush gardens. It is the perfect dwelling place for relaxation and tranquility, tucked inside the bustling urban landscape of Fort Bonifacio.

An emblem of modern Europe, the three-tower curvilinear condominium creates a modern distinction of upscale living and exudes a relaxing ambiance brought about by its lavish surroundings of greenery. The modern contemporary design of its centralized residential lobby also gives it a unique “homey” atmosphere.

All units will come pre-furnished and with a balcony that overlooks the picturesque view of the Makati Central Business District, Fort Bonifacio, and the beautiful garden landscape below.
