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 highly-
quality than design envisioned for the entire reclamation area. The intention is to enhance short-
and-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.
