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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
CLEVELAND TOWER
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.
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.
