Life is Beautiful
The image of Europe has evolved over the ages. This idea is apparent in the Florence, McKinley Hill’s newest residential development. Named after an Italian city famed for its lush greenery, the Florence is the township’s first and only gated garden community. With 3 towers, ranging from 22 to 28 storeys and offering 1 to 3 bedroom units, The Florence diverges from all other residential developments at McKinley Hill by introducing a modern exterior façade.
This development’s grey and white curvilinear façade stands out from the otherwise traditional European inspired architecture at McKinley Hill. Upholding the idea of modern living is the 3rd floor bi-level amenity deck which includes a swimming pool complex with an in-pool lounge and wooden sundeck, a bi-level gym and fitness center, an outdoor fitness area, a children’s playground and day care center, a game room, a business center, a bar & lounge, a laundromat, and function rooms. Furthermore, The Florence is unique in that its location in McKinley Hill makes it the most private residential condominium in the township, surrounded by premier residential developments, the Stamford, Morgan, Viceroy and The Venice.
With its contemporary design, its lush gardens, its private quality, and its comprehensive amenities, the Florence brings modern European living to Manila.
