Rogen Inn, a choice MICE venue & more

Rogen Inn is now marked as a choice venue for MICE and staycation by many.

Rogen Inn become a favorite venue for MICE gatherings and meetings.

March was the busiest month for the young hospitality establishment, when Rogen Inn has proven to be an excellent venue for meetings, conferences and events. The inn was a “partner hotel” of the Micecon 2023, the premier gathering of professionals in the MICE industry. In the same month, it was also one of the chosen residences for delegates of several of the biggest conventions Davao has hosted after the pandemic lockdown.

“Rogen Inn in March 2023 was at its busiest. We had the highest occupancy rate for rooms and function halls in the inn’s 11-month history. Everyday was a busy day and it was a challenge we met head on. We can say we did it with flying colors,” said Gene Bangayan, manager of Rogen Inn.

Leading to the next month, April is no different. The first half of month was ushered in with full house days for Rogen Inn, as shared by the sales and marketing team. With the bookings for rooms and events, it will continue on until the end of the month.

April is also a busy month for Rogen Inn.

“Large groups from national brand companies, religious congregations, educational institutes and private enterprises are scheduled for private functions at the ballroom and meeting rooms, and residency at Rogen Inn. With more April bookings in line for confirmation, we are looking at a busy month ahead for Rogen Inn. Surprisingly, these bookings were done prior to Micecon 2023, one of the city’s most publicized events,” said Bangayan.

One of the town hall meetings held at Rogen Inn this April.

The inn conceived for business people has its share of the staycation market as well. Families with children from the city and other regions have had their staycations at Rogen Inn. The most recent influx of staycationers was during the long Holy Week break. The Easter Promotion which offered low room rates and access to Easter activities drew in a crowd.

Adding to the rise of occupancy rate of Rogen Inn is the high walk-in rate, shares Bangayan. This has been the trend for the past quarters.

Whenever guests check in at Rogen Inn, the receptionists ask how they knew about Rogen Inn and why they chose to stay at the inn. Four replies are consistent. First, Rogen Inn was recommended by business associates, relatives and friends. First hand recommendation is one of the effective promotions any brand can have. Second, the affordable rates, a good price for a new and well-designed room that comes with free breakfast. Third, the location. Tucked in a quiet spot in the city center yet very accessible to pertinent areas guests need to be.Fourth, the select Davao favorite restaurants offering a good range of cuisine.

“It’s value for money for every guest we welcome at Rogen Inn. As travelers ourselves, whether we do it for business or leisure, this is what we look for as well,” Bangayan shares.

May 2023 marks the first year anniversary of Rogen Inn. Bangayan said that the favorite business inn has lined up exciting offers to make Rogen Inn still on the top of mind of every business and leisure traveler in the coming months.

Rogen Inn, a Department of Tourism XI accredited establishment, is located at the corner of Mt. Apo & Lopez Jaena Streets, Davao City. For reservations call 0917 687 6436 or email reservations@rogeninn.com. Rogen Inn is offering its Summer Promotion for P1,980 for two with breakfast.

Legacy Leisure clubhouse now rising

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 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

Shooting hoops and more at Legacy Leisure Residences

Let’s head to the basketball court. It’s one amenity that’s present in any community development. Why? First, there’s always that lover of this sport in any community, especially Filipinos. Second, it can the breeding ground to the next big shot cager. Remember that future stars are born in the most unexpected places. Third, it’s a very versatile space. Its use is limitless, this is why it’s the most utilized space.

Go beyond physical environment and foster family ties by hosting sports events among residents. It builds a more healthy environment

“Basketball can be a sport or a hobby. People of any age can play it. It can be a team sport or a pastime among peers or family members,” said personal trainer Cocoy Molbog, Holiday Gym’s Assistant manager and sports director.

How can one jumpstart the love for sports? Basketball may be one of the most convenient. Form infancy to childhood, the ball is probably the first toy on hand.

“At Holiday Gym, we go beyond personal improvement and foster family ties by hosting sports events among members. It builds a more healthy environment which makes to look forward to another day at the gym. This program can be accomplished in a community like Legacy Leisure residences. It’s healthy for physically and mentally,” says Molbog.

School breaks are the perfect time for kids to engage in outdoor activities. Summer basketball clinics can develop kids’ interest in the sport.

To encourage adults to stay active, a professional player can be invited to to hold a clinic to improve their skills in the game.

Taking it further and develop community bonding, Legacy Leisure residents can organize a 3 on 3 basketball league. It’s easier to form teams of three for court games. But a full court game with five players in a team can be more exciting.

“Make Friday nights the assigned basketball tournament days that may run for just four Fridays of the month. It’s easier to organize since only a day in the week is required and the weekend basketball game can be a good after-work stress reliever,” Molbog shared.

Basketball ca be a sport or a hobby. People of any age can play. It can be a team sport or a pastime among peers or family members.

Going beyond the ball game, the basketball court is a great venue for group exercises. Group exercises gives you that motivation to be fit like the rest. Aerobics, HiiT (High Intensity Interval Training) or athletic boot camp can be executed in the basketball court. Weekends are good times to get that boost of energy. A boot camp can further develop one’s skills and stamina.

How about a mini sports week for the other members of the community as well? Basketball games can be just one of the highlights. Create team events that will include the rest of the family members, like like tug of war, or more fun games games like egg relay or Pass the message. These are team building games.

The good thing about living in a community with its own court is the privacy and safety. A space where residents can play a relaxing game or train to be a better athlete. All that’s needed is the motivation to be active and the drive to excel. The court is there, make the most of out of it.

What does it take to be a good basketball player? One Filipino legendary basketball player said, “Practice, practice, practice. Scouting and studying your opponents.”

LEGACY LEISURE RESIDENCES, CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE ON TIME

No stopping for this project ! It’s all systems go ! Construction on sked !

LEGACY LEISURE RESIDENCES, CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE ON TIME

Even during the pandemic Legacy Leisure Residences assures its investors that construction is on schedule. Wesley Bangayan, Vice-President for Marketing of Legacy Leisure Residences, said they are adhering to their construction timeline and can deliver on target date.

“There is no delay on the construction timeline,” assured Bangayan.

• 

No construction delay. On top of everything are Clark Yap, Vice President for Crisron Holiday, Inc., the project contractor, and Wesley Bangayan, Vice President for Marketing of Legacy Leisure Residences

• 

On this site will rise Tower 2, the first building of Legacy Leisure Residences

“Currently, the project’s contractor is working on the foundation for Tower 2, the first building being erected. The ground has been cleared, flattened, and mapped out. Foundation work is on schedule,” he said.

• 

Laying the foundation

The resort-type condominium project along Ma-a Road broke ground on January 30 of this year. On the same day, the Legacy Leisure Residence showroom was also inaugurated, where future residents can get a glimpse of the spacious soon-to-be-homes.

A month after the groundbreaking ceremony, in March, the nationwide lockdown was implemented suspending field and office work. But in May, the restrictions were eased and allowed construction to resume operations with strict adherence to safety protocols.

“The temporary halt did not cause any disruption to our construction schedule. If there was, it was minor. It’s something we can address immediately. We are confident that we will meet the deadline of Legacy Leisure’s first deliverables on the second quarter of 2024,” Bangayan said.

At this stage of the construction, he said much of the workload is machinery reliant and we are maximizing its usage. The work force is fewer which means health protocols, like social distancing, is not an issue. Once the 7:00PM curfew is lifted, construction hours can be extended.”

• 

Current phase of the construction is computer aided and machinery reliant for accuracy

Legacy Leisure Residences is a P4 billion project by CrisRon Holiday, Inc., a joint venture by the Bangayan and Yap family of Davao. It will aim for a unique approach to condominium living with its “everyday staycation” theme and fuse a vertical village with high-end, large scale resort facilities.

The 2.8-hectare project will feature four buildings with 15 stories each. It will house spacious units measuring 37.35sqm for a typical 1-bedroom unit, 76.35sqm for a 2-bedroom unit and 136.50sqm for a 3-bedroom unit.

Of the total area, 70% will be allotted to open space which will include the resort and sports facilities like an Olympic-size pool, water theme park, spray park, jogging track, tennis court, basketball court, pitch and putting green. Included in this space allotment are the green spaces and community facilities like the parks and playground, barbecue area, the club house, function halls and a commercial strip with curated retail shops to cater to its residents.

“In terms of investment, real estate is always a wise decision no matter what the economic situation.

Today will be a good time to reserve your units at Legacy Leisure Residences and avail of the easy payment scheme at the opening price offering. By November 15, we are scheduled for a price increase.”

“We are inviting everyone to visit our showroom with a view of the construction site along Ma-a Road, or take a virtual tour at www.legacyleisureresidences.com.ph. Our Facebook account also shows our construction updates,” he said.

“Investing in real estate is always a winning situation. With or without a pandemic, construction in Davao will thrive. We are a developing city and with the numerous ongoing projects, and more in line, construction is one of top drivers of the local economy. We must continue to move forward, because we all want progress. It is a road to recovery,” Bangayan added.

Legacy Leisure Residences: designing and defining sufficient & efficient spaces

Anybody wanting to own a home\considers so many aspects. But one thing sure never to be missed is to check on allotted 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 living of 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.

Value for money.

Now comes the most important part of any decision making—how much is a spacious home in a resort-like vertical village?

With cost of space coming into play, Legacy Leisure Residences offers the most economically-priced residential spaces in its category. Cost per square meter is very reasonable most especially if you factor in what’s included in the “total living package”— privacy plus an expansive green zone plus the impressive recreation and leisure amenities plus a well-appointed safety features of the residential complex.

With all these, you’ll will be nodding to the idea of most conducive, safe and exciting vertical village to live in Davao. It can be the wisest investment anyone can make today.

Legacy Leisure Residences, by Davaoeños for Davaoeños

Giving you update on the soon to rise real property project of Davao home builders along Ma-a Road.

This is their story …..

Legacy Leisure Residences, by Davaoeños for Davaoeños.

The success of a business venture is knowing the sensitivities of its market. It’s a strength. To wear the same shoe and walk in it is an advantage. Who else can relate to a Davaoeño best than a fellow Davaoeño.

Behind Legacy Leisure Residence, the soon-to-rise vertical village along Ma-a, is CrisRon Holiday Builders, Inc. It’s a homegrown development company that merged two of Davao’s most respectable families in business. The joint venture, run by the next generation of entrepreneurs, may be new for two Davao families, but their individual achievements go decades back. Their names are woven in the economic tapestry of Davao.

• 

Davaoenos building homes for fellow Davaoenos: (L-R) Wesley Bangayan, Vice President for Marketing for Legacy Leisure Residences and Clark Yap, Vice President of CrisRon Holiday Builders, Inc.

Between the two enterprising families is a list of successful undertakings in the fields of retail, food, entertainment, commercial trade, transportation, health, hospitality, to name a few. What the market needed, they delivered, and always at an opportune time.

They are no strangers to real estate industry. Felcris Centrale, Holiday Oceanview Residences, Camp Holiday Resort, LinMar Apartelle and an ongoing project, Mt. Apo Tourist Inn, are some of the projects in their roster.

Operating the newest organization are two of the second generation businessmen— Clark Yap, who sits as the vice-president of CrisRon Holiday Builders, Inc., and Wesley Bangayan, taking charge as Legacy Leisure Residences’ vice-president for marketing.

Way before they earned their business management degrees abroad, Clark Yap and Wesley Bangayan started their training in the most unconventional way. Growing up, the sites of the operations were literally their playground, shared Yap. Unknowingly, tagging along with their parents was sort of an apprenticeship. As young men they were already exposed to the structures and idiosyncrasies of the companies. They grew up with it and in it.

CrisRon Holiday Buidlers, Inc.’s maiden project will be a unique undertaking—the creation a wellness-focused, resort-like vertical village. The themed development will give the residents a life of comfort, serenity and fun. It will be an “everyday staycation” in the center of the city.

• 

At Legacy Leisure Residences “everyday staycation” will be experienced in the resort-like, wellness focused development.

“The Bangayans have constructed and run resorts and while the Yaps have pioneered the retail industry in Davao. This new project will bring the island resort living to the center of the city and fuse it with urban essentials to create an exciting living experience,” shared Yap.

“Legacy Leisure Residences will be built like it would be our own home. Being a local, we are aware what every Davaoeño wants when choosing a place to live in— privacy, a peaceful and secure community, spacious living environment, green spaces to breath, essentials within easy reach. Ultimately, at best value, the future residents of the condominium project will not just be investing on real estate property and high-value amenities but on the quality of life, too,” he said.

At Legacy Leisure Residences ‘breathing space’ will mean roomy residences, vast amenity areas and green expanse spread in almost 70% of the 2.8-hectare development. Resort-like will mean having their very own Olympic size swimming pool, spray park and zones for various sports.

• 

Wesley Bangayan, “Legacy Leisure is a unique and exciting community development that Davao will be proud of”.

“We are only utilizing 30% percent of the land area for four residential towers. This means residents will be able to experience privacy when heading out to the vast outdoor open space,” shared Wesley Bangayan.

Having the developer and project contractor under one umbrella company extends an extra assurance for the investors. Quality of work will be guaranteed, each step of the construction will be closely monitored, all design details will be attended to and materials will be of the best quality. The attention to structural integrity will be unwavering.

• 

Clark Yap, “Legacy Leisure Residences is a world-class development and we will guarantee the building of more world class communities in Davao.

“Our experience in the construction industry and the system involved in real estate development assure our buyers that Legacy Leisure Residences will be worth their trust,” stated Yap, adding, “As developers we will put the best foot forward because we want each and every project to be a showcase of what CrisRon Holiday Builder, Inc. can do. Legacy Leisure Residences is a world-class development, and we will guarantee the building of more world-class communities in Davao where residents will be proud of their investment.”

Bangayan added, “We believe that building Legacy Leisure Residences is best done with having the heart and sensitivity of a local, of a soon-to-be resident. Trust us Davaoeños to build better homes for fellow Davaoeños to live in.”
