The launch of the first tower of Marco Polo Residences in 2010 marked the beginning of a new era for Cebu’s Nivel Hills. Over the years, this development has grown to include four towers, becoming one of the most sought-after addresses in the region. The prime location and luxurious offerings of Marco Polo Residences have redefined the prestige of this hillside area, consistently elevating the standard of living in Cebu.
Last August 27, the final piece of this architectural masterpiece was unveiled—the fifth tower, Marco Polo Parkplace.
A sanctuary away from urban hustle
In a rapidly urbanizing Cebu, where the city’s energy is palpable, Marco Polo Residences offers a rare blend of tranquility and convenience. This private enclave allows the hustle and bustle of city life to fade into the background, providing residents with a serene environment that is still within reach of all the city’s conveniences.
Maria Margarita Saenz-Resurreccion, Sales Group Head at Federal Land, Inc., expressed the deep connection the company has with Cebu, saying, “There is something extraordinary about Cebu that makes every visit memorable – a unique charm that captures the heart of everyone who visits. Cebu holds a dear place in our hearts, and we are dedicated to its growth by introducing world-class developments like Marco Polo Parkplace. This launch is a significant step towards enriching lives and fostering communities in Cebu, embodying our commitment to the people and our vision for high-quality living.”
Redefining first-class communities
Marco Polo Parkplace represents Federal Land’s ongoing dedication to enhancing urban life through innovative and well-built developments. Romeo Vittonelo D. Pascual, Estate Development Senior Manager at Federal Land, Inc., highlighted this commitment, “Federal Land has been in the business for over 52 years. We continue to create innovative and well-built property developments such as residential homes, modern office buildings, commercial and retail spaces, world-class hotels, and our newest product, integrated master plan communities.
For the Cebu community, we envision a first-class community that marries urban conveniences with the breathtaking beauty of nature supported by the Marco Polo brand’s legacy of quality and service. Through the progressive development of the properties, we aim to introduce a cohesive blend of residential, commercial, and recreational open spaces, elevating standards in modern living.”
Masterfully designed for enhanced experiences
Arch. Raymund C. Quimson, Senior Design Head at Federal Land, Inc., shared the unique aspects that make Marco Polo Parkplace stand out. “So what makes the Marco Polo Parkplace special? 1) One location: it is 10 to 20 minutes away from the conveniences of the city, 2) Connection: it is part of a bigger community by Federal Land Communities, 3) Scenic views that are naturally elevated: it showcases the unique view of the mountain, city, and sea, and 4) Design concept or approach: this building will endure the test of time through its timeless architectural design, amenities, and facilities. This development has 5) the widest array of amenities in the market, with facilities that resonate the Marco Polo hospitality.”
Marco Polo Parkplace is thoughtfully designed down to the last detail, offering a wide range of indoor and outdoor amenities that cater to every aspect of a balanced life. From elegant indoor spaces like the Play Area, Day Care, Tiara Room, and Co-Working Space, to stunning outdoor features like the Sky Lounge, Lawn Area, and Pavilion Veranda, every element is curated to enhance the living experience.
Rising just 20 stories, Marco Polo Parkplace is a low-density retreat with only 10 to 11 units per floor. Each residence is a sanctuary of leisure and relaxation, offering residents a tranquil escape from the demands of urban life.
One of the standout features of Marco Polo Parkplace is the Duo Suite, a flexible living option that combines a studio and a two-bedroom unit. This setup offers a range of possibilities, whether for families or investors. For investors, the Duo Suite provides an opportunity to both live and earn from the property, with the flexibility to rent out the units when not in use. Arch. Quimson expounds, “If you are an investor, and say you’re traveling abroad, you’re staying in Cebu for what, two, three times a year, you can stay here and have the other unit rented out. It can also allow you to earn with your investment, as well as be an end user, so that provides a vast flexibility on how this unit can be used.”
A Legacy of Excellence Continues
Marco Polo Parkplace is not just a building; it’s the culmination of years of dedication to creating a first-class community in Cebu. With its final tower, Marco Polo Residences continues to set the standard for upscale living, blending the best of urban convenience with the tranquility of nature. This launch marks the beginning of the penultimate chapter in a story of prestige quality living that will endure for generations to come.
