For the same period of time in 2021, Merlgen Euro Designs, Inc. records its 2022 sales with a 55% increase.
Honeylet Lim, Merlgen Euro Designs manager.
“We did well during the span of the pandemic. With everyone indoors, home improvement was seen as essential to accommodate the needs of each household member, whether it’s for work, school or personal space. Coming into 2022, when restrictions eased up and Merlgen’s operations went full blast, the sales shot up,” said Honeylet Lim, manager of the Merlgen.
Lim shared that their clients are pushing through with the residential projects, and these are new projects for a new home, not renovations. Merlgen has been tasked to fit homes with customized cabinetry—from kitchen to bedroom, living room to toilet and baths.
We fitted new rent houses and second homes for clients who wanted an alternative address just in case a Covid-like incident transpires again.
“Residences make up most of the projects with 40% of the total number. Condominium, hotel and restaurant projects make up the rest of the list with 20% each,” said Lim.
Residences make up most of the projects with 40% of the total number.
The company’s service reaches beyond the city borders. Merlgen’s track record has enticed clients from out of town going as far as General Santos, Koronadal, Valencia, Maramag in Northern Mindanao; Bangaga in Davao Oriental; and Agusan, southeast of Mindanao.
“Of our total projects, 30% are out of town,” said Lim, adding, “These areas are where families are building their rest houses. These, perhaps, are second homes or vacation homes, and even alternative addresses just in case a similar incident like COVID transpires in the future. It’s best to be ready, our clients confessed.”
Merlgen had to keep up with the high demand for their customized cabinetry orders, and make sure they adhere to their 45-day project completion.
“Even if our factory operations are in full blast and doing overtime shifts, the work force is not enough. Because of the boost in sales, we had to increase manpower. We added new employees for the production and installation teams,” said Lim.
Because with the boost in sales, we increased manpower and invested on additional state-of-the-art machineries.
The company’s manufacturing facility in Davao houses state-of-the-art machinery including the CNC (Computer Numerical Control) cutting machines, which ensure speedy and accurate results. The output of the two manufacturing plants guarantee that the demands are met.
“With the high yield of the CNC cutting machines, banding production has to be augmented as well. We also added additional edge banding machines this year.”
Edge Banding is the process of covering the raw and exposed sides of particleboard or wood panels with a thin strip of PVC or resinous material.
“The new addition of machines to the production line is a big help because it cuts the waiting time for the boards to undergo the edge banding process.”
At the rate Merlgen is going this year, what’s the company’s forecast for 2023?
“At the rate we are going now, I think Merlgen will grow and will increase its sales in the coming years. This is due to the people’s awareness of the convenience of customized cabinetry. We are also planning to upgrade our material options to cater the latest trends in the market,” shared Lim.
With the foundation of the Legacy Leisure Residences’ first tower in place, the next phase for Tower 2 is underway. Soon, the world-class development along Ma-a road will present the rising of the first of four condominium towers.
“We are proud to say that we are on schedule. We adjusted our work schedule through the pandemic, strictly adhering to the safety protocols issued by the government. Now that the rules have eased, construction is on full throttle,” said Wesley Bangayan, VP for sales and marketing.
As the first tower rises, so does the clubhouse, one of the exciting features of Legacy Leisure.
The Legacy Leisure Residences clubhouse the receiving area and gateway to the living spaces and impressive amenity area.
The clubhouse is strategically positioned at the front and center of the equilateral development, in between Towers 2 and 3. It is the first structure seen upon entering the property and serves as the receiving area of the residential cluster and the access to the vast amenity area that occupies a staggering 70% of the 2.8-hectare property. The open space area allocation of Legacy Leisure will be unrivaled in the city.
Legacy Leisure Residences is conceptualized as a resort village, where everyday staycation is a way of life.
The spacious 612-square meter, two-level clubhouse will exude the essence of a vacation destination in its design. It will bring the outside in, from the free-flowing natural to the lush greenery.
Adhering to the theme, the spacious 612-square meter, two-level clubhouse will exude the essence of a vacation destination in its design. Like in a resort village, the contemporary design of the clubhouse lobby will bring the outside in, from the free-flowing natural air to the lush greenery. The interior will be bathed in white with accents in hues of wood, from the lightest to the deep tones. The space will have an open plan, eliminating obstructions to the line of sight as much as possible. The clubhouse is the core of Legacy Leisure Residences. It will tie all of the condominium’s essential components together. It will serve as the receiving area and the gateway to the living spaces and the impressive amenity area, which holds the leisure and sports facilities, including an Olympic-size swimming pool and a water spray park for kids.
The modern edifice will house a gym, a fitness buff’s nirvana; the social halls that can accommodate a good number of guests; and the administrative offices. These rooms will have floor to ceiling picture windows wrapping it, framing the exciting amenity area against the verdant park and the blue skyline.
The clubhouse will house a fitness gym, a fitness buff’s nirvana. It will have a view of the amenity area.
The social halls of the clubhouse will be areas where residents can hold events.
“Should the clubhouse be finished on its targeted date, the area could be used as a viewing area for the condominiums on-going development, among other possible activities that Legacy Leisure can host for its future residents, potential investors and real estate partners,” said Bangayan
“One of the main considerations in planning an event is the space,” said Candice Respicio of the Zegen Group, an Davao based events management company that holds an impressive list of clients from the private, corporate and political sectors.
“The wide outdoor area of Legacy Leisure can be an exciting venue for a private festival like the Kadayawan for its residents. The amenities can be used for other purposes other than its intended use,” she added.
The wide outdoor area can be an exciting venue for private festival like the Kadayawan for its residents.
Impressive and unique is how to describe the amenity area of CrisRon Legacy Leisure Residences, the rising condominium project along Ma-a Road.
“It is unique because our design goes the opposite direction of the regulated community developments which allots 30% of the total area to open space. Legacy Leisure’s open space will occupy 70% of the 2.4-hectare project,” said Clark Yap of CrisRon Holiday Builders, Inc.
The amenities can be used for other purposes other than its intended use.
“To make the open space impressive, Legacy Leisure is going world-class on its amenity development. Across the wide open space will be an Olympic size swimming pool and spray park for kids; sports areas to include basketball and tennis courts, a putting green and jogging track; family areas like the picnic area with a barbecue pit, and a park. Fun and leisure is amplified and this is a step from your door,” Yap added. Community bonding will be more exciting on a special season like this. Activities won’t be limited to a pocket-sized amenity area like the social hall or the perimeter of a small pool. Imagine visiting a world-class resort, this is what Legacy Leisure is aiming for. This though will be private, exclusive for its residents.
Zegen’s concept for a Kadayawan Festival theme is incorporating the best of Davao in the venue for the weekend holiday. Zones can be created for people to mingle. The basketball court can be turned into a fruit and fresh vegetable market from local growers; the tennis court can be the curated food zone selling special delicacies; and the park can be the “green bazaar” selling Davao’s best flowers and plants.
“The wonderful thing about this novel idea is it is private and safe, plus the residents can take part in the commerce, if not, they can be the sellers themselves. For sure, ther will be residents who are good cooks and artists,” said Candice.
The tribal beats of the 11 tribes of Mindanao can get everyone into the Kadayawan vibe. A guest artist can serenade the revelers with local tunes and residents can tae part in the entertainment. The picnic area and the barbecue pit, which will serve its intended purpose, will be the perfect entertainment area.
While social gatherings is a common activity in every condominium, Legacy Leisure Residences will be set apart with its capacity to host a festival level event.
90% of Legacy Leisure’s first tower sold in 11 months
“CLLR posted a 90 % sale in less than a year, a feat for the sales team in the time of a pandemic,” said Wesley Bangayan.
Legacy Leisure Residences hits 90% sales mark on first tower in 11 months in June.
The pandemic is a challenging period to the real estate enterprise in Davao. But surprisingly, Legacy Leisure Residences is posting a steady rise in its sales.
“We officially launched two months before the lockdown, on January 2020. But as soon as the restrictions were eased, we bounced back to work with positive energy, adapted to the situation, created good deals, and strengthened our digital presence and relationship with the real estate agents, and got the construction rolling again,” said Wesley Bangayan, VP for marketing for CrisRon Legacy Leisure Residences (CLLR).
Bangayan confessed that there was uncertainty looming on the sales department. But trusting their brand and team, they were able to surpass their sales target in 2020.
“Our strategy worked. In a span of five months, from August to December 2020, we posted a 60% sales on the first building, which is Tower 2. For the first half of 2021, CLLR posted a steady rate in sales. In essence, 90% of CLLR’s Tower 2 has been sold in less than a year. This is a feat for the sales team in the time of a pandemic,” said Bangayan.
The exterior of Tower 2
At the rate it is going, Tower 2 will be sold out before the end of the year, he added.
Bangayan says that Legacy Leisure is unique and this is what makes the condominium project attractive. It went the opposite way of the usual residential projects. CLLR allotted a huge chunk of the 2.4-hectare property to open space and opting to erect only four 15-story residential buildings.
Tower 2 construction development
“We are fashioning resort living in the middle of the city where residents can breathe in everyday leisure. An expansive open space is needed to achieve this. Across 70% of the property will be the the curated outdoor amenities to complement the theme: an Olympic size swimming pool, spray park for kids, verdant park, picnic area with a barbecue pit, an array of sports facilities to include basketball and tennis courts, a putting green and jogging track.”
The residential units will be spacious as well. The one-bedroom units will have an average size of 37sqm., while the the 2-bedroom units will be at 76sqm and the 3-bedroom units at 136sqm. These sizes are designed where bachelors and small families can live in comfort and move about with ease enjoying their personal spaces.
“Another major concern from the future and prospective residents is the structural integrity of the towers. From the conception of the project we have addressed this. We have reputable design professionals who designed earthquake-proof buildings. A story about CLLR’s structural integrity was published in major newspapers in Davao and Manila.”
Bangayan further says that CLLR transparency on the development of the condominium also adds to its appeal and builds trust. Since the IATF’s go signal on construction sector, work on the structures have been unceasing until today.
“Construction updates are regularly posted on CLLR’s social media pages. We want to show our buyers how their investment is progressing. On the construction time chart, Legacy Leisure is on time.”
Outdoor barbecues and picnics are always exciting on any day. There is something about cooking food over fire that brings the family together. And the aromatic smoke fills the air, everyone will say “I’m hungry” in unison.
When it comes to manning the grill, it’s the man of the house (usually) takes charge. Dad gets his chance to wear the chef’s hat and brag about his barbecuing skills and recipe, which may have been taught by his own dad.
Backyard barbecues are the most convenient. It’s an instant picnic one step away from the door. But what about if you live in a condominium?
“Moving to Davao in 2013, I chose to live in a condominium. It’s easier to maintain because of the size and convenient because of the amenities—the pool, indoor games, park and security,” said Chef Anton Abad, who nodded to a job offer to head a popular chain of restaurants, and eventually opening one of his own, the Olive Bistro.
“For a chef who loves to experiment, cooking can be limiting. I am not allowed to grill inside the unit and property. But that’s understandable with enclosed, shared living spaces,” shared the chef.
Legacy Leisure Residences, the rising condominium project along Ma-a Road, will be unique. In its vast open space that occupies 70% of the property will be an Olympic size swimming pool, spray park, jogging track, basketball court, tennis court, a putting green, a park and a barbecue pit. Yes, there will be an area for outdoor grilling, a novel feature for a condominium.
Planning the leisure space well, the developer addresses the issue of the grilling station’s smoke emission. The designated area of this amenity is at the picnic area by the park, a good distance from the living spaces.
“That is indeed a fresh idea. I haven’t encountered nor know of a condominium having a barbecue pit as an amenity for its residents. Having a barbecue station right at ‘your own backyard’ will provide easier and safer access to do a barbecue,” said the chef.
“Davao has been tagged as ‘Barbecue Country’ with the countless barbecue food joints. From stalls to high-end restaurants, there is grilled food on the menu. The locals have a love affair with barbecued food. Adding a barbecue pit to the list of amenities, allowing residents to enjoy worry-free outdoor grilling, will make Legacy Leisure condominium living more attractive,” said Wesley Bangayan, VP for Marketing.
He said that one of the reasons CrisRon Holiday Builders, Inc. went the opposite direction of the required open space and designed a big open, green space is to promote a more relaxing ‘“everyday staycation” atmosphere for the residents, a wellness-focused living. Wellness, according to Bangayan, includes establishing good rapport with neighbors.
Grilling is a communal activity where everyone in the family and community can take part in, from preparation to cooking. Chef Anton says, “Since Filipinos loves barbecue food, it is a good way to get together. A cook out is good for community bonding. Even more fun can be a barbecue cook-off between residents and see who can make the best barbecued dish.”

Legacy Leisure, a year after its groundbreaking
For any marketing team, selling a new idea will have its challenges- seen and unforeseen. Such is the case with Legacy Leisure Residences (LLR), a rising condominium project along Ma-a Road. It’s a home-grown brand, a joint project by two of Davao’s most respected families with businesses in real estate, hospitality, retail and many more.
From conception to the drawing board, Legacy Leisure Residences was envisioned to be one of the most exciting condominium projects that will rise in Davao City. The idea is to bring everyday staycation to its residents via a world-class, resort-type development. On January 30th, 2020, the project broke ground. The idea was turned into reality.
However, short of two months after groundbreaking the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown took effect. It was not until May when the restrictions were relaxed and work resumed with minimal work force.
Legacy Leisure Residences marketing team Malen Faune, sales and marketing marketing manager and Dionna Mae Reyes, marketing staff
“It was a good thing our digital marketing was set. We capitalized on it and presented the project to the market virtually,” said Malen Faune, LLR sales and marketing manager, adding, “It was a team work. The owners created sales strategies and the marketing team implemented it. We met with the brokers and buyers online. Mae Reyes, on the other end, took charge of digital marketing.”
Malen Faune meets buyewrs and brokers and hosts showroom and site tour. Included in the tour by appointment of agents and investors is a site development visit.
“Pandemic or not, it was business a usual. We were quick to adapt to the situation and the owners were with us, not just behind us, all the way,” said Dionna Mae Reyes, marketing staff.
Mae Reyes takes charge of digital marketing
There is no putting down a good project. LLR is a unique vertical village. For one, it will be built on a 2.8-hectare property with 70% of which will be dedicated to leisure amenities and open spaces. Only four 16-story buildings will be erected with structural integrity a priority. While the exterior boasts of space so will each of the residential units. The average area for a 1-bedroom unit is 37sqm. and the biggest at 135sqm. for a 2-bedroom unit. Security will be 24/7.
“With LLR’s offering, impressing investors was effortless. While we have reached a large market via virtual transactions, face to face dealing and actual tours have a personal touch and can be more appealing. Thus, we opened the showroom for them, but following very strict health protocols,” said Faune.
By appointment, agents accompanied the buyers to the showroom by batches. Faune gave them the tour starting with the showroom and ending with a site development visit.
“It is important that we establish the trust of our investors. There is no better way to that than by presenting to them the project developments. Despite the ongoing pandemic, LLR continues to build to meet the target delivery,” she said.
Payments schemes where introduced in tranches. They are on the third since it opened to the market and each attracted new investors. Believe it or not, even with the pandemic, they have transacted almost 60% of Tower 2 units over the last quarter of 2020. The number of sales is increasing each month.
Faune credits LLR’s partners on the favorable sales result, “We have welcomed real estate brokers to the LLR family. We meet them regularly and share our plans. In turn, they share their inputs. It’s a win-win relationship and the numbers prove it.”
“We will stick with our marketing plan and implement it this 2021. We will also be introducing promotions within the calendar year.”
To sweeten the deal this February, LLR is gifting investors their future residents with their choice of appliance from LLR’s list.

This homegrown property builder of Davao City noticed an impressive increase in their sales towards the end of 2020 despite the pandemic and hopeful that with the availability of the vaccine and some restrictions lifted to double their efforts in delivering the units by middle of 2024 even as Wesley Bangayan, VP for Sales and Marketing of Legscy Leisure Residences said they are on schedule with their timeline.
Legacy Leisure bullish in 2021
The pandemic may have caused the slowdown in the economy in 2020, but the year was kind to Legacy Leisure Residences.
“We have to credit the whole team. We got creative with how we ran things starting from within the company, boosting everyone’s morale during an uncertain time, which radiated outwards. The team, which included the brokers, was reconditioned with the product and deals. There was an impressive increase on our sales on the latter half of 2020,” said Wesley Bangayan, VP for sales and Marketing.
Legacy Leisure Residences vice president for Sales and Marketing says the company is bullish this 2021.
The plan for 2021 is to continue to apply the company strategy that proved effective for the project: be very visible online and on print; encourage its partners to challenge themselves; and show prospective clients why it is wise to invest in this condominium project.
“The unit inventory in Tower 2 was quickly grabbed prior to the price increase. We will keep the ball rolling,” said Bangayan.
“Construction of the first condominium tower, Tower 2, will continue. Same as last year, we will maximize the allowable working hours and manpower under the IATF guidelines for construction this 2021. The good news is we are on schedule with our timeline. Once the vaccine is available and the restrictions are lifted, then we will double our efforts to deliver the units on or before the target date in the second quarter of 2024,” he said.
Construction of the condominium will continue maximizing the allowable working hours and manpower under the IATF guidelines.
Legacy Leisure Residences is a month short of turning one year but its relentless efforts in its publicity in the middle of the pandemic was noticed as one of the key developments in Davao City. It was able to reach the target audience, who became investors.
The condominium to rise along Ma-a Road is a unique project and a world class development says the developer, CrisRon Holiday Builders, Inc. It will be the first vertical village project in Davao and Mindanao that will allot majority of its acreage to amenities, which will include an Olympic size swimming pool, a spray park for kids, sports facilities to include basketball and tennis courts, a gold pitching area, jogging track and parks with lush greenery. These, along the typical amenities of condominiums like function halls, gym, a commercial strip and other open spaces, will use up 70% of the 2.8 hectare development.
The remaining 30% will be allotted to the development of four residential towers with 15 stories each. Living spaces in each building will be spacious. A typical one-bedroom home will have a 37.35sqm in area, 76.35sqm for a 2-bedroom unit and 136.50sqm for a 3-bedroom unit.
The company’s approach is the opposite of the required 70% infrastructure and 30% open space for a development.
Bangayan meanwhile said “we recently launched a new 15-85 payment scheme. It is attractive because there is no downpayment and the 15% equity is payable in 48 months interest free. However, the client has the option to pay higher than the computed monthly amortization and lessen the 85% balance.
“With a lower balance, there is a higher probability for banks to approve a loan,” Bangayan said
He also said that part of the pre-COVID19 marketing plan was put on hold of activities that required exposure and close contract with people. One of those is the series of mall exhibits in Davao City, Davao del Norte, Davao de Sur and in other key cities like Cagayan de Oro and Cebu.
But Bangayan said Legacy Leisure will still mount these mall shows should health protocols be lifted when the vaccine becomes available.

Legacy Leisure Residences introduces new payment scheme
The pandemic may have paused the economy, but there’s no stopping anyone grabbing a good investment opportunity when presented. This month, Legacy Leisure Residences will be offering its new 15%-85% payment scheme.
“Investing in real estate is always a good idea. The Covid-19 pandemic got a lot of investors into the wait-and-see attitude, but now is a good time to invest with property developers offering investment schemes that won’t break the bank,” said Wesley Bangayan, Vice President of Legacy Leisure Residences.
With Legacy Leisure Residences, the condominium development along Ma-a Road that was launched in January this year, the introductory price was offered with an easy payment plan. The deposit of Php 8,000 per month is payable in 48 months and the balance can be financed by a partner bank or Pag-Ibig Fund, or by availing of the in-house loan.

“The lockdown was implemented right after we launched,” said Bangayan, “Thus construction and sales was put to a pause. When the restriction was eased, we went back to the field right away. Whatever delay there was, it was minor. Construction is back on schedule.”
Bangayan said they did the same with their sales and marketing. “We had to get creative during this period pf pandemic. First and foremost, we boosted the team’s morale with the help of a motivational speaker. Then we strengthened product knowledge with everyone including our partners, and invited a creative, tech-savvy expert to join the team.”
In place of marketing activities like mall exhibits and sales caravans, Bangayan said they went all out via the digital format—virtual tour of the showroom, sales meetings, etc. Adding to the company-initiated high visibility plan in both print and social media, one of the thrusts of the Legacy Leisure is to get the partners involved in the advertising and promotions via social media.
Now reaching a wider audience is why investing in Legacy Leisure Residences is wise: construction stayed on schedule even during the pandemic; the project is world-class with its resort living concept and impressive amenities; excellent residential location with easy access to key locations; and most importantly, owning the widest condominium space in the market today is most affordable at this project.
One bedroom model unit.
The plan produced positive results. May Reyes, Legacy Leisure Residences’ marketing manager said, “There was a very substantial increase in our sales. From 5% of the units sold in Tower 2 the previous months, it picked up and sky-rocketed to 60% of the units sold by September to November.”
“We are now reaching more people via different media channels. Many saw the advantages of investing in Legacy Leisure Residences and a lot of them are now homeowners. They grabbed the chance to own before a price increase and while there are still available units for Tower 2. But our inventory is selling out fast. If you’re considering living in a vertical village, now is a good time to invest as well,” said Bangayan.
Bangayan is also confident that Legacy Leisure’s new 15%-80% payment scheme will further boost the sales of the condominium project. Reyes stressed that the advantage of this new payment scheme is a higher probability for banks to approve the amortization.
The new scheme offers no reservations fee and the is not restricted to the computed monthly price. The client can pay a higher monthly payment which will adjust and lessen the 85% balance. Hence, a higher probability for approved loan.

Anybody wanting to own a home\considers so many aspects. But one thing sure never to be missed is to check onallotted space where one can move around to enjoy home and its surroundings.
Well, what you’re looking for is a given with this home builder indicating as primary component in their design the provision of more spaces for comfy livingof prospective residents.
Here’s a story that will walk you through some details ….
Legacy Leisure Residences: designing and defining sufficient & efficient spaces
What are the considerations in owning a home? Developments trumpet location, the distance to essential areas, the amenities and developer’s track record. Legacy Leisure Residences checks all those, and adds another – well-designed and defined spaces.
Space should play a major factor when choosing a place to live, whether you’re single or with family.
“Space is important when choosing a place to live because our homes should be our sanctuaries, a stress-free zone that can provide us a respite from our busy lives. When there is a lack of space, we feel cramped. But with more space, there is less psychological distress because we are able to feel calm and have a sense of peace,” says psychologist Maria Isabel Soriano-Lemen, PhD, RPsy and Director of the Center of Psychological and Extension Services at Ateneo de Davao University.
In Davao, space has become a premium. The growing population has made vertical village living an acceptable way of life. Among the towers rising, Legacy Leisure Residences condominium along Ma-a Road will offer a spacious and unique option.
Homegrown developer CrisRon Holiday Builders, Inc. is now building a very exciting resort-themed, wellness-focused vertical village project. Over a 2.8-hectare spread, only four structurally-sound 15-storey buildings will be erected and majority of the acreage will be allotted to leisure and recreational areas.
Legacy Leisure Residences Site Development Plan: Majority of the 2.8-hectare decvelopmenty will be used for leisure and recreational areas. The green and open spaces can improve psychological well-being.
Live healthy. Legacy Leisure Residences will be developed as a wellness-focused residential space.
Roomy residences.
Wesley Bangayan, Legacy Leisure Residences Vice-President for Marketing, says “We’d like to offer the gift of space to our future residents. We are designing our residential projects with generous space to make it more conducive to living.”
All residential units in Legacy Leisure Residences will be roomy. A typical one-bedroom home will have a 37.35sqm in area, 76.35sqm for a 2-bedroom unit and 136.50sqm for a 3-bedroom unit. Whether living alone or with family, appointing one’s desired personal space will be easy.
In a roomy residence, family members can easily create their own personal spaces.
“Personal space is an invisible boundary where one can relax and recharge. Space that allows us to have some privacy, and when ‘crossed’ even by our loved ones, would cause us discomfort. Having our personal space allows us to become more productive,” said Lemen, adding, “Because of the current pandemic, our perspectives on our dwelling places have changed. Issues of personal space have become more pronounced.”
Expansive open spaces for leisure and recreation.
Beyond the comfort of the homes is another unique and essential feature of Legacy Leisure Residences. As a wellness-focused project, it gives importance to open space. Residents will have their very own water park, sports complex and garden area. This zone will occupy approximately 70% of the total area, a figure more than double the standard requirement for open spaces for a residential development.
Of the 70% open space, almost 55% (or 15,600sqm. approx.) will be assigned to green space with a creek (31% or almost 9,000sqm. approx.) and community facilities (23% or 6,600sqm. approx.) to include an Olympic-size pool, water theme park, spray park, jogging track, tennis court, basketball court, pitch and putting green, BBQ area, parks and Playground, the club house and function rooms.
More recreational space can mean more opportunities for physical activity.
In this well-planned development, a sufficient yet efficient road network, outdoor parking and road right of way will only use a fraction of the open space with 15.8% (or 4,500sqm approx.) of the land area.
Psychologist Lemen states, “The issue of recreation has also become an issue. Those who are unable to access playgrounds, parks, and other recreational areas within their villages and dwelling places have found themselves feeling cooped up with stress levels that are much higher because of their limited opportunities for recreation. Conversely, studies have shown that having green or recreational spaces can improve psychological well-being. Studies have also shown that people who live in urban areas with more green spaces have less mental distress, lower levels of anxiety, and greater well-being, to name a few (Barton & Rogerson, 2017). More recreational space can mean more opportunities for physical activity. This, in turn, can increase our psychological well-being.”
When living in a community like Legacy Leisure Residences that has many recreational and green spaces, residents will be able to control their level of interaction with their neighbors. This will give them a sense of physical and social privacy. There is also a sense of community that will allow them to interact with others within the residential area.
It’s like an everyday staycation at the Legacy Leisure Residences with its wide choices of recreation.
