The Best Family Bonding Activities To Do In Muntinlupa
Named by the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry as the Most Business-Friendly City in the Philippines, Muntinlupa has seen massive growth despite being one of the youngest cities in Metro Manila. In fact, as of 2019, the city has become home to 15,400 businesses, among them several tech companies located within the PEZA zone.
While it is a major center for commerce, Muntinlupa is also a prime residential spot, thanks to its proximity to key cities, not to mention Tagaytay, which is an hour’s drive away. Needless to say, residents can enjoy a bevvy of family activities.
But despite limitations to movement brought about by the pandemic, a well-planned community can provide residents with all the creature comforts of urban living. In this article we list down five things to do in Muntinlupa that you and your family can enjoy without having to travel far from home!
Visit your community’s green spaces
If your own neighborhood has its own garden, you can maximize these spaces for outdoor activities. Host a laidback picnic with homemade snacks and refreshments; invite the family for an outdoor game of badminton; or simply sit back and soak in the sunshine.
A development like East Bay Residences is a great example of a community that has “more nature than structure.” You can relax in one of several outdoor amenities like the great lawn, barbecue area, or gazebo, or bond with the family in the playground or tree court.
These simple activities underline the joys of communing with nature within your community, providing a refreshing break from all the time you may be spending indoors during quarantine periods–all without the need to travel far.
Enjoy a staycation..at home
Staycations usually conjure up images of over-the-weekend getaways in a nearby luxury hotel or bed and breakfast. Nowadays, with restrictions in place, this isn’t always the most accessible or safest way to go on a brief break with family.
However, nothing can stop you from rethinking the staycation on your own terms.
You can certainly set the scene for a relaxing break within the comforts of home. How to begin? Brainstorm for fun activities that everybody in your household will enjoy.
A spa treatment is sure to put everyone in a relaxing mood. Play relaxing tunes, then provide spa treatments that you can easily recreate at home: an epsom salt-and essential oil foot bath; a rejuvenating facial with a sheet or clay mask of choice ; a pampering soak using your favorite, foamy bath bomb; or a fun DIY manicure and pedicure.
If a Netflix marathon is more your thing, level up the viewing experience by inviting the entire family to dress up as their favorite movie or TV characters. In lieu of hotel room service, prepare a themed snack spread. Create a platter of hand-rolled Kimbap, Korean cheese corn, and bottles of Soju to accompany your favorite K-drama. Or put together a Bridgerton-inspired menu of decidedly English treats including finger sandwiches, scones and jam, and the requisite hot tea with a variety of flavors to choose from, like the ones you would usually find in a hotel minibar.
Wish to be taken back to summers in wine country? If you have an all-adult household, organize a wine and cheese tasting session at home. You can even order a curated graze box to accompany the festivities.
Whether you choose to turn things up with a watch party or wind down with a spa or yoga session, a staycation at home gives you the flexibility to do as you wish!
Order in and relax at home
If dining out is not an option, you can always elevate your at-home family dinner–or lunch or brunch. Now that working from home and distance learning is the norm for several households, having to put together a full meal can sometimes feel understandably daunting.
Cut yourself some slack and order in or take out deliciously prepared meals from your favorite establishments or neighborhood’s grocery. Then take a cue from your favorite dining destinations and set the scene in your dining room. Choose an apt playlist to accompany the meal. Turn down the lights to create a relaxing mood for an evening meal. And lastly, decorate with a vibrant table setting. You certainly don’t need to wait for a special occasion to dine–and bond with family–with extra flair.
Enjoy the signature Rockwell Lifestyle at East Bay Residences
At a development like East Bay Residences, you and your family will always have ideas for what to do in Muntinlupa–and you need not travel far to enjoy yourselves.

The Best House Plants for your Urban Sanctuary
One of the most popular home trends to come out of the 2020 pandemic is the inclusion of more house plants in one’s abode. As individuals and families started regaling their spaces with all manner of indoor greenery, the local terms “plantito” and “plantita” emerged as a declaration of one’s newfound love for gardening. And that came in the form of tending to the best house plants for any type of home, whether one lived in a studio or a sprawling bungalow.
In fact, this growing love for indoor plants was observed across the globe. Alice Vincent, author of the book, Rootbound: Rewilding A Life says, “I’m sure many of us have sought solace and healing from the wonders of the living world during the anxious months of lockdown.”
And as early as 1989, a famous study conducted by NASA’s Stennis Space Center declared plants “nature’s life support system.” The study, which continues to be referenced to this day, resulted in a list of 29 plants noted for their air purifying benefits. This includes chrysanthemum, evergreens, ferns, orchids, as well as the plants in our list below.
These benefits of indoor plants endear them even more to home dwellers. Not only do they provide aesthetic value, they also help improve health and well-being. If you are interested in bringing plants into your home, we recommend the following varieties for your garden.
Sleep better with snake plants
When it comes to getting a good night’s sleep – or a daytime nap- snake plants are revered for their ability to clean and refresh the air. Characterized by tall dark green leaves bordered by a yellow hue, snake plants which also go by the moniker, “mother-in-law’s tongue,” clear the air of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, benzene, and formaldehyde.
Like many of the best house plants to include in your garden, they require little maintenance. However, one should take care not to ingest the leaves as they can be toxic. So, make sure to keep young children and pets away from this plant.
In addition to snake plants, spider plants are another variety that can help keep indoor air clean.
Alleviate skin problems with aloe vera
Aloe Vera has long been known for its beauty benefits, but also its ability to heal a number of skin conditions and irritations. Moreover, the plant’s thick gel can be used for managing acne, and healing burns, cuts, and sores.
There is also evidence that consuming aloe vera can alleviate heartburn, improve digestion, and manage constipation. However reports have shown that care should be taken when drinking aloe vera due to risks for liver damage and stomach cramps. It can also be harmful for individuals with certain medical conditions, so always consult with your health professional before consuming aloe vera juice. In the same vein, if you wish to harvest aloe vera gel for topical use, consult with your dermatologist beforehand.
As a house plant, aloe vera, which is technically a succulent, is low maintenance. They require bright but indirect sunlight, as too much sun will dry out the leaves. Moreover, watering aloe vera needs to be done only every two to three weeks.
Make a statement with dragon tree plants
The towering dragon tree plant is hardy, eye-catching, and easy to maintain, making them a popular choice for indoor gardens. Originating from Madagascar, dragon tree plants feature tall leaves that resemble swords. Although they grow slow, these plants can reach 20 feet, however they may be pruned to keep their height to six feet.
Apart from providing visual appeal in your home, dragon tree plants can also help purify the air, even reducing levels of lead particles.
Calm down with philodendrons
With several varieties that come in a range of colors from bright green all the way to black as well as pink, philodendrons are a great choice for new home gardeners due to their ease of care and decorative value. The heart-shaped, waxy leaves of philodendrons, which grow quickly, are capable of trapping dust, making them great for improving indoor air quality.
And as with all plants in this list, philodendrons contribute to an overall sense of calm and well-being. In fact, studies show that plants can help reduce mental stress, a must as we spend more time working or studying from home.
Enjoy your own urban sanctuary with Easy Bay Residences
As many urban gardeners have demonstrated, you can create your own sanctuary at home! Located in Sucat, Muntinlupa, East Bay Residences has everything you need within reach for a home that is both convenient, strategically located within the city, and conducive to relaxation.

The Larsen Tower offers one-bedroom units starting at 35 square meters all the way to three-bedroom units measuring 107 square meters. On the other hand, The Fordham Tower has junior two-bedroom units at 48 square meters and two-bedroom prime units at 73 to 74 square meters.

Self-sustaining Communities: Your Next Property Investment
When it comes to your next property investment, it helps to think about your present circumstances, as well as how you imagine your future living situation. Since the quarantine period was first implemented last year, many workplaces have adopted a work-from-home set-up, causing people to inevitably spend more time indoors.
Because of the extended WFH situation, more and more people are looking for safe spaces that are open and relaxed, so they can regularly get some fresh air and stretch their legs. Additionally, consumers are beginning to see the benefits of living a lifestyle rooted in balance, as they scout for properties away from the excess bustle of central business districts.
Real estate in townships and nearby communities by the fringes of CBDs are gaining popularity because of its proximity to essential establishments and conveniences, while allowing you to escape excessive commotion––after all, living in the heart of a CBD may put you in the center of all the action, but at the expense of peace and quiet.
If you desire a more well-rounded lifestyle that allows you to live life in balance amid WFH, then it’s time to look into properties situated in calmer and greener communities. Many of these townships or self-sustaining communities are located in the south of Metro Manila such as Muntinlupa or Parañaque, offering more lush greenery while still staying close to the metro.
How WFH has shaped living in the new normal
The remote working scheme has shifted our priorities when it comes to our living situations. While the old nine-to-five schedule might have made proximity to the workplace a priority in the past, distance becomes less of an issue when the work is primarily home-based.
As people are spending more and more time indoors, they naturally want to be able to breathe, stretch their legs, and safely interact beyond the walls of their homes. As the lines between work and home become blurred, families and residents now prefer being situated in communities that allow them to live a more holistic lifestyle, where a quick jog, bike ride, or even just a breath of fresh air is just minutes away from their doorstep.
Many people are considering a calmer, greener community closer to urban conveniences
Under the WFH scheme, employees and professionals no longer have to brave the daily traffic on their commute to work. This gives them the liberty to move farther away from major metropolitan districts, and settle down in less busier parts of the metro with open, nature-filled environments.
As people realize the need for healthier lifestyles, families are now on the lookout for green and peaceful communities that give them room to move, work out, explore, and live life to the fullest. Lush lawns, pocket gardens and planned outdoor spaces provide the landscape for residents to breathe and relax, and a secure environment for children to play and make memories. These areas provide them a respite from the urban bustle, while staying close to the comforts of the city. These include malls, banks, groceries, hospitals, and even schools.
A community that can accommodate all their needs
As people continue to work from home, there is a growing demand for emerging neighborhoods that offer a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere while maintaining conveniences at an arm’s reach. These make self-sustaining communities an attractive prospect for families and professionals looking to make their property investment.
Perhaps you’re planning a family soon, or you want to leave properties for your children. A property that uplifts one’s quality of life within a vibrant community is a worthwhile investment for you and your loved ones and helps secure their future. When deciding on your next property investment, choose premium-quality developments by reputable developers that offer great value for their properties, while providing comfort, security, and a lively neighborhood.
East Bay Residences offers a serene environment while keeping a diverse mix of retail establishments and services within reach. Its location along KM21 East Service Road in Sucat, Muntinlupa, allows families a respite from the metro’s busy nature without venturing far from its comforts. Its strategic location lets you enjoy city conveniences nearby, while its curated Retail Row offers a mix of businesses that cater to diverse and varied lifestyle choices.
Working from home may just very well be the future of the workplace. Hence, now is a good time to plan ahead and invest in a property that can accommodate your lifestyle now and in the future. Work at home does not have to impact your family life––so it’s time to invest in a space that allows you to balance work and play. With wide and open spaces, exclusive condo amenities, and lush outdoor areas, East Bay Residences in Sucat, Muntinlupa, gives you more room to breathe. A self-sustaining community surrounded by lush greenery, East Bay Residences is your new urban sanctuary.
With East Bay Residences, your dream space is now possible. Its newest addition, The Larsen Tower, keeps you close to business centers and city essentials while sprawling amenities and its own retail row allow you to enjoy a signature Rockwell lifestyle within reach.

What Convinced This Entrepreneur To Get A Condo During This Time
Is there really a right time to invest in your dream space? Here’s what businessman Christopher Castillo has to say.
Owning your own home or property is a dream most Filipinos have. But in these tough times, this dream takes a backseat. Many second guess spending their hard-earned money on most things, let alone big investments.
Investing, especially in your dream space — a place where you can put down roots or transform into a business opportunity — isn’t something to be afraid of.
According to Christopher Castillo, 32, an entrepreneur, real estate property manager, trader, and investor, investing in your dream space should remain a priority, particularly for young Filipino professionals.
There is no space for overthinking in investing
As an entrepreneur, Castillo is very familiar with taking calculated risks and planning for the future. He’s had his fair share of setbacks in his businesses, but he has always managed to learn from them.
Christopher Castillo says that when it comes to investing, “you have to be mentally and financially prepared.”
To Castillo, growth requires grit, or “mental toughness,” and this attitude also applies in investing.
“I personally think that some Filipinos are intimidated to invest because they tend to overthink. They question themselves with negative thought patterns like ‘What if it doesn’t work?’ or ‘What if I never achieve this goal?’ They generally focus more on what could go wrong, rather than what could go right,” he says.
“If you are willing to do what’s easy, life will be hard. But, if you are willing to do what’s hard, life will be easy,” he adds.
Having the ‘right mindset’ is crucial when making investments
Castillo believes that waiting is a common mistake most people make in terms of investing.
“It all comes down to having the right mindset,” he explains. “You just have to be mentally and financially prepared. As the saying goes, when it feels scary to jump, that’s exactly the time you jump. Otherwise, you’ll end up staying in the same place your whole life.”
Castillo also believes that putting your money in real estate, such as a condominium development, right now is a smart move.
He says: “Just like in the stock market, when prices are low, you grab the opportunity to buy. In real estate, the value appreciates every year, that’s why I didn’t hesitate [to invest in a condo last year]. The price was a bargain for me. It’s like buying on a discounted rate, which was a good deal.”
Setbacks shouldn’t stop you from investing in your dream space
Like many Filipinos, Castilo was not spared from the pandemic’s impact. At its height, he felt devastated when he had to shut down three of his food businesses. He took some time to reflect and think of ways to recuperate his losses. And that’s when he noticed that the pandemic did not have a huge impact on the real estate industry.
When he found out about The Larsen Tower, the latest development at the 7.2-hectare vibrant community of East Bay Residences, a project of Primaries, A Rockwell Company, Castillo grabbed the opportunity to invest in his dream space.

“I’m the kind of person who always plans ahead. I took the chance to purchase the unit because you can never go wrong with a real estate investment. This asset will continue to grow over time even in a recession or other market conditions,” he explains
For Castillo, a unit at the 20-story The Larsen Tower is a versatile investment. He plans to use his condo unit first as a start-up home with his future wife, then as a business opportunity that will create passive income when they start a family.
As a future home, Castillo likes that The Larsen Tower is at a strategic location. The condo is situated in East Service Road, Sucat, Muntinlupa, just minutes away from Alabang. It is near retail and entertainment hubs and service centers, including East Bay Residences’ own
East Bay Retail Row.
What attracted Castillo, too, are the well-thought-out amenities The Larsen Tower will offer. There are lap and kiddie pools, a fitness gym, functions areas, jogging paths, wide-open spaces, and an abundance of nature.
East Bay Residences features first-class amenities, including outdoor pools.
And with the variety of unit types The Larsen Tower has to offer — from one-bedroom units to two-bedroom homes to even three-bedroom residences — it really is the ideal home for independent living, couples, and growing families.
Investing in a condo requires a developer you can trust
When investing in a condo unit, you must consider these important factors when researching its developer: the company’s background, financial stability, workmanship quality, track record, and portfolio.
For Castillo, Primaries, A Rockwell Company ticked all of these boxes. So, when the chance to purchase a unit at The Larsen Tower made its way to Castillo, it was love at first sight.
East Bay Retail Row has a curated array of restaurants, retail stores, and service shops.
“The brand speaks for itself,” the entrepreneur shares. “I have always been a fan of Rockwell properties because of its astounding projects, but I didn’t get the chance to invest before because the prices were out of my reach.”
“When I visited East Bay Residences, … I just fell in love with the place,” he adds.
Things come and go. That’s why when investing in your dream space, it’s best to take advantage of an opportunity, especially if the means are already there. You might even want to check out The Larsen Tower as Castillo did!
Lastly, one final piece of advice from Castillo for those who are thinking of getting their own dream space but feel hesitant: “Think of the bigger picture. Don’t focus on fear, risks, and setbacks. Instead, focus on the opportunities, potential growth, and rewards.”

Accentuating Spaces with Minimalist Design
Open, uncluttered, and expressed in its simplest, most essential form, minimalist design promises beauty that is both deliberate and purposive without much ornament. Its practical approach creates a warm and inviting space, its aesthetic relaxes and soothes the mind, both of which make for a home design that will never go out of style.
So, how do you adopt this design for your space?
Introduction to Minimalism
Minimalism is an approach that centers around expressing only the most essential features of a product or subject, doing away with any excess or unnecessary elements. It’s considering the true nature or purpose of a space, and bringing that to the forefront of the design.
The approach was born out of the modern design movement, and while heavily associated with modern and contemporary interiors, minimalism can easily branch out and be applied to spaces that are more classic or traditional in design. What’s important is that the space feels clean and open with the right balance of accessories and colors.
Keeping your space simple and uncluttered opens it up to more light, gives the now unobstructed views a more prominent role in the space, and allows the architectural features of the home to really shine.
Benefits of the Minimalist Design
Minimalist design sets the stage for better quality living, as it enables those living in the space to focus on what’s important. And while great for the soul, the approach also goes hand in hand with functionality, which gives birth to more practical benefits.
Minimalism is great for making small spaces appear larger. A clean and orderly space with only essential furniture does wonders in opening it up. Getting rid of unnecessary knick-knacks, trinkets, and fluff creates more floor space, volume, and unobstructed views outside the unit. And with a simple mirror, you can take your added space and practically double it.
The philosophy of the approach is “less is more”, so with that comes less spending. Being purposeful with your choices for a certain space will save you on decorations and additional furniture.
Minimalist practices focus on practicality and functionality, and will save you time and effort of completely revamping your home later on. This is a design you can really settle with.
That said, minimalism does leave room for creativity and for those living in the space to be flexible with their decor and layout choices. Because it retains a neutral, subtle, and simple aesthetic, selecting minimalist home design pieces to add on or replace old ones with, becomes much easier compared to other styles that may be trickier to mix and match with. The open space also allows for easier reconfiguration of furniture.
While minimalism is mostly used for smaller spaces, the design approach is ideal for larger spaces like units at The Vantage at Kapitolyo. With expansive units, practical and purposive design, and inspiring views of the nearby central business district to add life, units at The Vantage allow residents to truly maximize all the benefits of a minimalist design.
Minimalism Through Decluttering
A great way to start incorporating minimalism into your home is by decluttering. This practice is simple, easy, and has immediate and positive effects on how a space feels.
First, you’ll have to identify which items are actually essential.
Once you’ve shortlisted your extra accessories, find a proper place in which they can be put away. Invest in simple storage solutions like tables and ottomans with storage. If need be, invest in cabinetry. The key takeaway is to have designated places for all your loose things to be out of sight.
Finally, create a habit of routinely checking rooms and common areas to ensure that no unnecessary items start piling up on your tabletops, couches, or any surface. And just for good measure, make it a point to throw away what you would consider trash immediately (envelopes of bills, packaging, etc.)
Another aspect of decluttering is reconfiguring furniture or doing away with barriers, so you can maximize the space. Literal dividers or consoles placed in the center of a room can reduce its length drastically.
While minimalist design can be applied to any layout, open floor plans are ideal. Many of the units at The Vantage at Kapitolyo, for instance, are open and spacious, giving residents the flexibility to add, reduce, and reconfigure furniture to explore their minimalism options.
Right Materials and Colors for Minimalist Look
Colors and textures you utilize in a space can greatly affect your mood. Blues can calm, while warmer and more vibrant tones like red and yellow can induce warmth, but also hostility.
When considering your color palette for a minimalist look, remember that “less is more”. Neutral or lighter colors are good for capturing the minimalist aesthetic, as these don’t lean too much in any direction. Think whites, blacks, creams, and greys.
Textures add warmth, depth, and richness to your space. Even within the same family of colors, throw pillows, knit blankets, and rugs can create contrast in a neutral space. Your core range of color hues will set the tone, while your furs, hides, and textured textiles create interest.
A good tip when filling a space with minimalist furnishings is to ask yourself if the space is overly stimulating. Once you’ve decided that your space is functional and aesthetically pleasing without being heavy-handed, do you really need to continue?
All in all, the minimalist design is a great way to bring about beauty from simplicity. Start anew and create the minimalist condo unit of your dreams at The Vantage at Kapitolyo, Pasig City. Inquire today!
East Bay Residences holds concrete pouring ceremony for Larsen Tower
Rockwell Land’s Primaries recently held the first concrete pouring of The Larsen Tower at East Bay Residences in Sucat, Muntinlupa City.
Gracing the event were Rockwell Land assistant vice presidents Rachel Quinto and Jeff Caronan, and partners at Phenix Garuda Construction and Development Corp.: project manager Vaughan Estella, construction managers Eric Coronel and Julius Roldan, and cost lead Marichelle Rivera.
Roldan, and cost lead Marichelle Rivera
The ceremony prompted the start of the tower’s construction. Launched in October 2020, the Larsen Tower is Rockwell’s second residential tower in East Bay Residences.
The 20-story tower is home to spacious one- to three-bedroom units in a diverse set of cuts ranging from 35 to 107 square meters. Exclusive to The Larsen Tower is the Sun Lounge, a dedicated area where residents can welcome guests or find respite in. This leads to the property’s expansive central amenity area, with a function room, fitness gym, jogging path, and swimming pools. The East Bay Retail Row also offers convenience with its commercial offerings.
The Larsen Tower at East Bay Residences is set for turnover in 2025. It’s a welcome addition to the Rockwell community in Sucat, and caters to the needs of both end-users and property investors.
Here, there truly are more opportunities for one to own their dream space.
The Larsen Tower: Spaces built to last
Spending our days at home these past months has made us realize how important it is to find the right place to live in that meets all your needs as a resident.
Gone are the days when home is just a place to rest and re-energize before you face your daily lives outside of your abode.
Now is the time to choose a home that will accommodate all your needs whether amid this pandemic and even way beyond when it’s over.
While location has been the top consideration in choosing a place to live in under the old normal, the pandemic has made us realize how important it is to also find residential spaces that offer you comfort as well as the flexibility to accommodate your work from home requirements.
Those needs are something that East Bay Residences, a property developed by Primaries, A Rockwell Company can address in its 7.2 hectare residential community in Sucat, Muntinlupa.
The Larsen Tower is the latest residential tower at the East Bay Residences, a residential community that offers 60 percent open spaces, giving residents easy access to an abundance of nature. It follows the 15-storey The Fordham Tower, the community’s first residential tower in East Bay Residences.
With its low-density floors, housing just 20 units per floor, residents are given a feel of exclusivity from the moment they step out of their doors.
STRATEGIC LOCATION
Location will always be an important consideration in choosing a place to live in.
With its strategic location near two main roads as well as key landmarks in Muntinlupa, residents of The Larsen Tower stand to gain from the strategic location of the project. The tower is accessible to business centers and city essentials.
East Bay Residences is only six kilometers (kms) away from Alabang and 11 kms away from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. It is also in close proximity to a number of expressways such as the South Luzon Expressway, Skyway, Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway (MCX), and Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) as well as prominent roads such as the Alabang-Zapote Road and Sucat Road.
The project is also a 14 km distance from business districts in Makati and Taguig, and is just 16 kms away from the Entertainment City in Pasay City.
The residential community is accessible for a quick getaway further south to Laguna, which is 40 kms away, as well as the areas of Cavite and Batangas.
SPACIOUS UNITS
Staying true to the project’s low-density features, residents are also provided with more room to breathe as well as the comfort to move around in their own units as The Larsen Tower offers spacious units.
This is exemplified by the wider cut units with a one-bedroom unit sized at 35 square meters (sqm) being the smallest unit it has to offer. The one-bedroom unit offers enough space for a young entrepreneur or could also serve as a viable investment for a budding professional.
The Larsen Tower also offers two-bedroom units sized at 57 sqm, just the right size for a future home for starting families to invest in. In addition, it also features two-bedroom prime units measuring 65 sqm, perfect to cater to every family member’s needs.
Units of the project can go as big as 107 sqm for a three-bedroom unit, which is ideal for a growing family to make room to create more memories.
With its variety of unit type offerings, The Larsen Tower can address the needs of both residential end-users and investors.
A VARIETY OF AMENITIES
While residents may already have enough rooms within their units to pursue some of their hobbies and interests, staying indoors makes us crave for fresh air and a change of scenery.
Fortunately, residents of The Larsen Tower will not need to look far for leisurely activities as almost a hectare of amenities is within their reach.
There’s no need to head out to an out of town resort for a quick swim as the Central Amenity area features both a lap pool and a kiddie pool, ensuring that every member of the family has something to enjoy. Health enthusiasts will also be treated to a fitness gym as well as a jogging path to suit their daily workout needs. The community’s wide open spaces also provides an ideal respite with easy access to nature.
In addition, The Larsen Tower has its own Sun Lounge where one can savor the fresh air and a view of the Central Amenity area, which features a function room for events.
RETAIL CONVENIENCE
These times have made us realize more than ever the importance of having your needs within your reach in the community you live in, as we tend to limit the time we spend outside of our homes. But pandemic or not, having all the necessary establishments nearby will save residents their time and energy.
The Larsen Tower brings convenience to the next level with the wide-array of retail options at the East Bay Retail Row, which features a selection of service shops and restaurants. Among these include Starbucks Coffee, The Marketplace, BDO, Suds Go, Pan De Manila, RoyceTea, and Prim & Pretty.

Safety and convenience at The Larsen Tower by Rockwell Primaries
Inside the community itself, one can relish in fresh air with most of the place dedicated to open spaces and lush greenery.
It has often been said that location is key when choosing a home to invest in. Having easy access to one’s workplace or school makes one’s daily routine more convenient and allows for more time to rest and recuperate.
Such is why many opt to live in vertical communities that are a stone’s throw away from central business districts. Another factor that is equally important to consider is the safety and security of a home. Keeping in mind that it is where you and your family will be spending most of your time, your place of residence should be the least of your worries.
Located in Muntinlupa City is East Bay Residences, a vibrant community by Rockwell Primaries. In it is the newly-launched The Larsen Tower, which is set to stand 20-stories high, and follows The Fordham Tower, Rockwell Primaries’ first residential building in the property. East Bay is situated close to the heart of Metro Manila. It is only minutes away from Parañaque, Makati, Taguig, Las Piñas, Cavite, and Laguna.
Traveling to both the north and south is made even easier with access to major throughways like C6 and the South Luzon and Cavite-Laguna Expressways, as well as Stage 3 of the Skyway coming to completion.
Despite being in close proximity to a number of malls and leisure areas, East Bay Residences has its own retail area to keep your needs truly within reach. At the East Bay Retail Row, one will find The Marketplace for daily groceries, as well as Suds Go and BDO, for other essential errands. Starbucks Coffee, Pan de Manila, and Royce Tea are also located here for a choice of specialty food to enjoy.
Inside the community itself, one can relish in the fresh air with most of the place dedicated to open spaces and lush greenery. The Central Amenity area is at the core of the property, and in it is where the swimming pools, clubhouse, and great lawn are. These areas allow you to enjoy a slice of nature without venturing away from the city and are nestled right within your home.
Being afforded such conveniences at East Bay Residences is made even better knowing that your safety and security are assured. Each unit is provided with its own access card, limiting entry to the parking area and elevators in its residential towers.

Strategic Location
While today’s times have prompted many to focus on creating a mindful, relaxing refuge, it also highlighted anew the importance of a strategic location—of one’s proximity to essential shops and services, key institutions and establishments, major thoroughfares and transport hubs. Much consideration is now given to how the community can serve the lifestyles of its residents.
Such is the thought that has gone into Rockwell Primaries’ East Bay Residences, made more accessible via the East Service Road, which directs you to major thoroughfares like South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) and Skyway, and on to the different parts of the metro. Alabang is just 6 km away, while the business districts of Makati and Taguig City are just around 10 to 14 km away. Not too far is the Naia, which is about 11 km away from the East Bay Residences.
Other key thoroughfares like C-6 will offer easy access to Taguig and Pasig, while the Muntinlupa-Cavite Expressway and the Cavite-Laguna Expressway will bring you closer to the provinces of Calabarzon Region.
Just right outside this dynamic community is an array of nearby commercial centers and lifestyle malls in Alabang; offices and business districts like Madrigal Business Park; prestigious schools such as PAREF Southridge, PAREF Woodrose, De La Salle Zobel, San Beda College Alabang; leisure hubs; posh villages; churches; and hospitals.
No doubt that its highly strategic location alone already brings a much sought premium to this bustling community in the south.
