SM Supermarket Kids' City 2017

     Grocery shopping is one of our weekly family bonding activity. I'm happy that my son is always excited to accompany us in buying our food and other grocery items.

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine.

     With the advancement of technology, everything is within reach. We can watch movies online, study online, and shop online. This online technology makes our life easy and exciting like for example with online shopping. Buying things we usually buy at physical stores can now be bought online and the exciting part is there are coupons that we can use to save money.

     One of the coupons that offers exciting deals online is Groupon Coupon. I visited the website and saw thousands of codes and printable coupons that you can use to shop your favorite brands. Know more about Groupon Coupons below :)

Vertis North City Center

     Hello Quezon City residents, I have great news to all of you! A new and exciting city center will emerge soon- Vertis North. It's a city center that will nurture and inspire enterprises and activity. Quezon City has been the nucleus of northern Metro Manila since its founding in 1939. Through it flow business channels and industries while commercial and residential properties continuously sprout to suit its urban dwellers.

     To further establish the city as the North’s melting pot of business, social, and cultural affairs, Ayala Land, together with the National Housing Authority, developed Vertis North—a 30-hectare, master planned, mixed-use, and sustainable development, envisioned as the City Center that nurtures and inspires enterprise and activity.

Vertis North City Center

Big-city living at the heart of Quezon City

Location

     Located at the convergence point of key Metro Manila thoroughfares—intersecting EDSA, North and Quezon Avenues—Vertis North brings destinations closer to home. It provides optimum connectivity with seamless transport system links accessible to and from various City Centers.

     Catering to every form of enterprise, Vertis North provides one-stop business centers, tax incentives, and skills enhancement programs. Two high-rise corporate centers—each about 20 floors high—offering distinct work spaces with an integrated parking area, will be built to support 24/7 tenant operations, ready for occupancy within the year.

Lifestyle

     A premium retail block will also emerge as the convergence center of residents and office workers. This soon-to-be preferred lifestyle mall will have over 200 top-tier retail brands and dining options located in specialized zones. A two-hectare Vertis Central Park also serves as a welcoming urban oasis for casual sitting, strolling, and recreational activities.

     Symbolizing the complete, big-city lifestyle that Vertis North offers is the single-tower hotel development of Seda Vertis North. It will be the largest Seda Hotel and the most spacious in Quezon City with 438 rooms and a grand ballroom, equivalent to five large function rooms. It has a cozy roof deck bar which offers delicious food, beverage, and a marvelous view of the city skyline.

Home and Living

     Vertis North’s line-up of residential amenities starts with Alveo’s High Park—a 35-story, high-end residential condominium with about 642 units just across the Vertis Park expanse. Located at the heart of the compound, High Park lets owners enjoy refreshing views of the CBD and conveniently walk to an array of facilities—shopping, recreational, and business—for an exclusive and distinctive living experience.

     More options come with Avida Towers Vita and Sola. A three-tower residential development, Vita offers new beginnings to young families, newly-married couples, and young professionals. Residents can also have easy access to the surrounding establishments through a shared underground parking podium. Sola is a high-rise condominium that offers life at the center of big city-living, with the work and play balance of the basic urban lifestyle, at an affordable price. 

Advance features that is Vertis North's Very Own

• Embedded within the City Center is a green urban core that promotes responsible living and sustainable solutions. 
• A network of integrated underground parking allows less vehicular traffic on the street for pedestrians to enjoy Vertis North’s pervasive parks and green architecture, while bike paths and a bike-sharing program push the pedals of an energy-efficient transport around the district. 
• As a solution to urban flooding, the latest storm water management technology is also applied with the use of infiltration stripes, slowing down, capturing, detaining, and filtering flood water runoffs.
• More than becoming Quezon City’s newest central business district, Vertis North brings together unique land uses as an enterprising district with a dynamic growth engine. 
• With an inspiring new address that brings together everything great about living and working in QC, it is a place that calls out to those who plan to take the big-city lifestyle to the next level.
