A stylish pad in P. Ocampo, DLSU-CSB

The stretch of Taft Avenue is long. When you take a turn to Pablo Ocampo Street, aka Vito Cruz, you’ll find this urban pocket filled with students from DLSU, St. Scho, Arellano, and CSB. They make up majority of the community and so the culture shifts in this area of Manila. Hip, eclectic, Independent. With efficient service provided by establishments to students, it is nice to see them capable of living independently. The streets do not get congested here as students walk to school and get meal options daylong in the area. 

Getting in and out of this bubble is easy with installation of the Quirino Skyway to the North, Kalayaan Avenue to Makati and Mandaluyong, Skyway to the South.  Catching your train via MRT / LRT is an easy commute. For shopping options, It is a 15-minute ride to Malate or MOA, about 25-minutes to Makati CBD or Rockwell area. 

A view of the bay and colleges, a flock swooshing through, living here grows on you. 

3 Torre Lorenzo Lobby

The driveway of 3 Torre leads you to the quiet condominium lobby, tucked behind the cluster of shophouses in the busy street of Pablo Ocampo. Immediately, the upscale art deco design of the lobby changes the mood that evokes privacy— a rest from the busy streets of Manila. Finally, a space where one can relax in and slow down. The setting uplifts Manila’s old charm, given a fresh look — floating blown glass, walls cladded with metal which contrasts with the neutral furniture and cream colored flooring. Professionals and students are given a chance to live their daily lives an inspired one. 

The fantastic facade lets you in on the more important features of the building. The biggest consideration for any dwelling would be its security. In 3 Torre, you are greeted with a 24-hour reception, security guards, access to floors are limited with a smart card RFID, there are CCTVs in the common areas, the building is equipped with a standby generator, a smoke detector and fire sprinkler system.  

The building becomes a community in itself. With the smart card, it gives you access to the amenities peppered on different floors. There’s the sky lounge, sky deck, function rooms, 2 levels of fitness center, plunge and lap pool, residents’ lounge, garden terrace, discussion room, retail and food center. It is thoughtfully integrated to nurture wellness.

Each unit includes already a range hood, a stove top, a wardrobe closet, water closet, built-in kitchen cabinet, intercom, smoke detector and fire sprinkler. 

The rest of decorating can be yours to play with.

It still is a blank space that one can personalize to go with your aesthetic of choice. You can have your game set up installed, a study desk, or your culinary tools set up. Wake up to a gallery of painting on the wall, a nice sight that goes well with a view of the clouds and the plane passing by.  Make it your own stylish place.
