First fiber optic-to-homes condo

I have to admit the moment I set foot inside the showroom of Twin Oaks Place. I was already expecting something  good was going to happen. This is the most honest showroom that I can share with my 10 years experience in real estate. The first model unit was a bare studio but the exact studio they will deliver upon turn over. but what made it state of the art when my partner showed me the other model unit where she was controling all the appliances with her Ipad using Wifi. So this means that where ever you are you are really going to be able to see everything inside your house even if you are out of the country. I can truly say the best Overseas Filipino Workers investment if you want to keep in touch with your family 24/7 with just a wifi access anywhere in the world. The first to bring your home where ever you may be.

Now looking at Greenfield District, it is a town ship project that I can envision and makes me want to be part of it. GDC here I come...

  

What better expression of investor confidence than Campos bold development plans for the 10.5-hectare Greenfield District on the corner of EDSA and  Shaw Boulevard
 
in Mandaluyong? Campos envisions it to become the country’s first “smart and connected district” complete with garden areas, hotels, commercial establishments, residential and office towers.

The first residential condominium will be the 43-story Twin Oaks Place, which already has impressive model units near the site across Shaw Boulevard from Ortigas Center. Apart from ultra-modern wireless technologies provided by global leader Cisco designed to enhance the lifestyle of residents in Twin Oaks Place, Campos said that each Greenfield project has the guarantee of good quality due to their corporation’s strong track record as a developer.

Jeffrey Campos is the youngest child of the late immigrant “Pharmaceuticals King” Jose Yao Campos of Unilab, as well as maternal grandson of the late respected lumber tycoon and community leader Dee Hong Lue. Dee was a cousin of this writer’s paternal grandfather, both also in the sawmill business.

Since Campos’ maternal great-great-grandfather died early, his two sons, Calixto Dyyco and Dy Pac, were raised by his elder brother, who was my great-great-grandfather, the 19th-century Manila lumber entrepreneur Dy Han Kia. Dyyco was the maternal great-grandfather of Campos and there is still a prewar street named after him in Paco, Manila, but often misspelled as “Calixto Dyco.” Dee Hong Lue was a son of Dyyco, from a lumber business clan well-known for unassailable integrity, entrepreneurial courage and social idealism.

The elder Campos was an inspiring “rags-to-riches” industrialist and a low-profile but very generous philanthropist. As an employer, the elder Campos’ factories never experienced a single labor strike in decades.  

Jeffrey attributes his family’s strategy of investing in numerous realty properties, from Metro Manila to sprawling landholdings in Santa Rosa, Laguna, to his mother Beatrice Dee Campos. Although the fortuitous corporate name “Greenfield” was by the elder Campos, it is Jeffrey Campos who is behind the modern and elegant corporate logo as well as the development strategies of Greenfield.

Real estate and construction industry businessmen told this writer that unlike other scions of business families, Jeffrey seems to have been successful at building a strong corporate organization at Greenfield. Unlike other rich kids who either lost their family fortunes or dissipated their wealth, Campos has ably assembled a top-caliber professional management team led by Greenfield EVP, Atty. Duane Santos, and others for Greenfield’s various successful ventures.

Residences in Twin Oaks Place will have IP connectivity that will allow homeowners to use their mobile phones, laptops, iPads or office computers to access and control their homes’ lights, entertainment, air-conditioning, security systems and other amenities, similar to the high-tech homes we see in futuristic Hollywood movies.

Actually, this writer witnessed the launch of the unique conveniences of such “smart, connected” homes several years ago in Singapore. It was a project of Cisco and the Singapore government. The experience of such a home is simply breathtaking.

When asked why he and Greenfield Development Corp. are spending so much to procure the most modern technologies for Twin Oaks Place residential condominium and the emerging Greenfield District, Campos explained that they want to provide homebuyers and investors “their money’s worth in terms of good quality and innovation.”

He said that Greenfield as a realty developer wants to be always reliable and at the cutting edge of innovations because they have other ongoing — as well as future — realty projects. They want to solidify their corporate reputation of Greenfield as a top developer.
