“"When I saw it upon completion, I thought ‘Wow, this is really where I’m gonna live? It’s amazing!"”

Sisters Meg Trocino and Marieton Pacheco are presently enjoying the prime of their lives - both are blessed with a thriving career, loving family, and a comfortable lifestyle.  In fact, the two young women, who share a very close bond, have pulled off another "sister act" by deciding to live in the same condominium within Metro Manila.  The sisters are now sharing the same special address - Sycamore Tower in Dansalan Garden Condominiums by DMCI Homes in vibrant Mandaluyong City.

Among other benefits, this allows them to live in proximity within each other like they used to while growing up.  Meg and Marieton are also one in citing the best advantage of their dwelling place: Convenience and accessibility within the greater metro which allows them to "Live freely within the city" - the valued proposition of Sycamore Tower.

"Living in Dansalan has been one of the best choices I've made," said Meg, who works as a Data Analyst for a New York-based consultancy firm. "The place is very accessible to major roads and highways, schools, hospitals and malls.  It makes life hassle-free without sacrificing the quality of an excellent living condition."

Meg added that location is the topmost priority she considers when deciding where to live, which also goes for Marieton who used to reside in BF Paranaque.

"An average drive to work from BF Paranaque would take at least two hours depending on the traffic. When the price of gas continuously went up, plus the toll, I decided to move somewhere nearer. Since my husband's work constantly entailed movement from Manila , Quezon City, Libis, to the Makati areas, it was logical for us to consider Dansalan Gardens and its location since it's in the middle of the city and thus easily accessible," said Marieton, a TV journalist.

Sycamore Tower is strategically located in the corner of Boni Avenue and M. Vicente St. (former Dansalan St.) in Brgy. Malamig, Mandaluyong City. It is only three blocks away from EDSA and a few minutes' drive to premier shopping and business districts of Makati, Rockwell, Ortigas, and Greenhills. It is close to reputable schools like Poveda Learning Center, La Salle Greenhills, and Xavier School. Transportation facilities such as MRT and bus stops are also in close distance.

This provision entitles shorter travel time to important destinations like educational and medical institutions, places of worship, recreational centers, and multiple entry/exit points to traverse while going around the metro.  These allow easy travel to and from Mandaluyong City via EDSA, the Makati-Mandaluyong bridge, Pioneer, Boni Avenue, and Shaw Blvd., among others.

"Our condo's location is very accessible.  Aside from easy access to major thoroughfares, the location also has side streets which can easily bring us to Makati, San Juan, New Manila, Manila or even QC.  It can easily be reached whether you own a private vehicle or via public transportation," Marieton added.

Aside from close proximity to their workplace and other essential points of the metro, the location also benefits Meg's and Marieton's own families. 

"My daughter does not need to wake up very early just to get ready for school, since it's only five minutes away from our place.  Easy access to the mall and market which are five to 10 minutes away have also been very helpful during instances when we have to buy urgent things we need for the household," Meg said.

The same thing applies for Marieton, who has two young sons.  "We all enjoy and take advantage of the accessibility and convenience of living in Dansalan. We don't stress in planning our weekends because we're close to almost all the places we normally enjoy going to. We don't stress through traffic everyday in going to and from work, which means we go home in good spirits and still have time to enjoy dinner and quality time with each other. We can afford to have movie nights or an impromptu swim during the week because our time's not wasted in traveling given the convenience of Dansalan's location."

Sycamore Tower is the second building of Dansalan Gardens, a three-tower development within a sprawling 8,000-sqm complex that features an expansive and lush outdoor tropical oasis. In fact, 65% of the property is devoted entirely for gardens, pools, and recreational facilities that allow unit owners plenty of "spaces to breathe."

Sycamore Tower has 31 levels with spacious units equipped with first-rate residential facilities: individual electric and water meters, individual mail boxes with keys, provision for cable TV connection, provision for telephone line connection, and intercom in all units.

Resort-style living which is notable in all DMCI Homes developments are likewise offered here, among them a hotel-like lobby with reception counter, a Resident's Lounge, Children's wading pool and adult swimming pool, indoor playground, landscaped gardens and koi ponds, function rooms, and multi-purpose hall with recreational facilities.

Marieton added: "All these provisions convinced me and my sister to choose Dansalan Gardens for our families.  It takes away the suffocating effects of living in a concrete jungle, with lots of plants and places for kids to play and move in. It's relatively peaceful given the location, which is right in the middle of busy Boni Avenue.  Here, we all feel right at home."
