Residential project undergoes name change

TRIBECA Parksuites, a new project under the Anchor Land Holdings Co., has changed its name to SoleMare Parksuites to create an enhanced identity for the residential project.

The name change to SoleMare Parksuites has several meanings that Anchor Land management felt were important in conveying a unique lifestyle while showcasing the precious location.

Beth Ventura, Anchor land AVP for sales and marketing, said the name, which in Italian means sun and sea, came naturally due to its obvious surroundings and the views of magnificent horizons and vistas.

“We liked the name SoleMare Parksuites a lot,” Ventura said. “From a branding perspective, it’s a very unique and calm-sounding name.”

SoleMare Parksuites is an 18-story twin-tower residential condominium located in what promises to be the next major destination in the metropolis, in Aseana Business Park along Bradco Avenue corner Macapagal Boulevard, Parañaque City. The SoleMare Parksuites is a stone’s-throw away from the SM Mall of Asia.

Within the vicinity are five-star hotels, residential towers, banks, countless dining options, schools, sports arenas and casinos. In no time, more of the same proximities are expected to mushroom, including exciting new places like the Aseana Powerstation, Neo Chinatown and Pagcor City.

MY major complaint about Brilliante Mendoza’s Serbis is not the failure of its oral service but its aural disservice to the human ears. Halfway through the film I was half-cupping my ears to save whatever dialogue I could salvage from this elegy to stand-alone moviehouses and the industry they spawn in their ruins: prostitution and perversion, if we may believe the ideology of this film.
