For someone like me who loves to travel a lot, even just to sneak a weekend at the beach, the idea of being stationed at home 24/7 can be quite daunting.
The enhanced community quarantine being implemented due to the COVID-19 has definitely halted my usual routines, but what made it easier for me is the warmth, comfort and security that my home gives me, and of course, the fact that I get to spend more time with my family.
I was able to appreciate my home even more as it allowed me to do a lot of things even while on a lockdown: did some spring cleaning, brushed up on my painting skills, tried some boxing workout and so on. This is where I realized the importance of having a home that can truly serve as my sanctuary, where I can still feel safe and secure, despite any ongoing threats.
It’s therefore crucial that when you choose a home, it should be able to give you this same kind of warm, comforting feeling. So, if you have some free time on your hands and if chances are, you’re really on the lookout for a new home, you might want to carefully check out your options given the number of residential projects we have on the market. Since we’re still halfway through the lockdown, you’ll have ample time to review what could be the next best home investment for you.

Fine option in the east
Towards the eastern side of Metro Manila, you’ll find one possible home option lodged strategically within Ortigas East, which is being developed by Ortigas Land. Primed and poised to be another archetype community for modern urban dwellers in this side of the metro, Ortigas East is a prime, 16-hectare masterplanned estate along C-5 Road in Pasig, offering its residents, locators and employees beyond mere necessities. Here, you’ll find the key to living life more holistically, leisurely and proactively as the estate itself gives birth to new standards in modern urban living.
And this will be evident as soon as the Maple at Verdant Towers is completed. Beyond offering a shell for a home, this 43-storey residential enclave will give you ample space to move about, as well as provide the right avenue for you to pursue the things you love while you seek to achieve your goals.
How so? Maple, being the first residential building to launch in Ortigas East, will provide a home inside a fully integrated, strategically located estate. What this means is that you have at hand practically everything you need within the estate—with its several office buildings, commercial areas like Tiendesitas and SM Hypermarket, as well as dining establisments, among other features here.
Since Ortigas East fosters walkability with its planned green spaces and connected walkways, you get to simply stroll from your home to other points of interest within the development. It bears mentioning, too, that green opens spaces will comprise 40 percent of the whole Ortigas East.
Maple at Verdant Towers will also provide a safe space for kids to explore and enjoy the outdoors.
Accessibility
But if you have the need to go out, (perhaps, to go to surrounding schools, business hubs, churches, hospitals or larger shopping complexes), accessibility won’t be a problem as Ortigas East is bound by three major roads namely C5, which can bring you to Bonifacio Global City going south or to Quezon City going north; Julia Vargas, which will direct you to the Ortigas central business district; and Ortigas Avenue, which will bring you to Edsa in one end, and to parts of Pasig City and Rizal province on the other.
Let’s now zone in on Maple.
At a glance, this residential sanctuary rising in the midst of a bustling C5 corridor may look like your typical condominium. But a closer scrutiny of its details will reveal a far more compelling package of a warm, comforting and secure home that makes it all the more an enviable address in Pasig City.
Designed with fun and comfort in mind, the lounge creates the perfect space for residents of Maple to enjoy, unplug, and relax.
Elegant abode
To welcome residents to their new home is a stylish, contemporary residential lobby with a lift exceptionally designed with natural materials like wood and stone. Probe further and you’ll find exquisite finishes throughout the common areas at Maple and as well as an impressive array of amenities and facilities that can afford you the luxury of a holistic lifestyle.
If you live here, you will get access to the Residents’ Lounge and Game Room, which creates the perfect space for residents to enjoy, unplug and relax; charming and safe indoor play spaces for the little ones at the Play Room; lush landscaping and open spaces that further enrich the outdoor amenities at the Gardenwalk; PlaySpace, which provides a secure space for kids to explore and enjoy the outdoors; and The Landscape, an outdoor lounge area meant to foster a sense of identity and community among residents.
But that’s not all. Future residents of Maple at Verdant Towers will also get to revel in its other remarkable amenities that include The Hall; fitness center; lounge pool, children’s pool and outdoor shower area; as well as its splashground and water feature.

Spacious cuts
If you’re now considering Maple at Verdant Towers as your new home, you might want to check out the different unit cuts here.
You have the usual cuts of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. But what’s different here is that Ortigas Land has made available in Maple exclusive Bi-level Garden Units, with sizes ranging from 137 sqm to 164 sqm, and its most coveted townhouses, sized at 182 sqm to 184 sqm.
There are only six townhouses on the podium amenity level, offering a three-bedroom bi-level configuration with a front yard, balcony and private garden. What’s even more impressive is that the townhouses will have an exclusive elevator from their parking at Podium Level 2 to the unit. Priced between P59.9 million and P61 million, these townhouses are a great catch indeed.
A total of 692 units will be offered with prices ranging from P5.8 million for a studio unit to P52.2 million for a two-bedroom garden unit.
Oh, and there’s another bonus: sweeping, stunning views of the Ortigas, Sierra Madre or Bonifacio Global City skylines—sights you can behold as you wake in the morning and as you retire at night.
