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 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 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.
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
UTILITIES
Roadways
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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.
