03/05/2012 by bariles in GenSan hotels, Spotlight with 7 Comments - 2,293 Views

More than a week ago, on February 23, 2012, the much-awaited ground-breaking of Microtel Hotels and Resorts in General Santos City eventually pushed thorough.

Attended by bigwigs of Microtel Philippines and officers of Damosa Land, the simple event became even more memorable with the presence of GenSan City Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio who thanked the investors for putting their trust and confidence on the city.

WITH HIM ARE (L-R) NENITA VP EDMUND S. DANTES, DAMOSA LAND INC. VP & GEN. MNGR. EDUARDO O. VILLAVER, NAKPIL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CONSULTANT & PROJECT ARCHIETECT LUIS JUAN G. NAKPIL, MICROTEL PHILS. PRES. JOSE MARI DEL ROSARIO, GEN. SANTOS CITY MAYOR DARLENE ANTONINO-CUSTODIO, ANFLOCOR CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OSCAR V. GRAPA AND JITS CONSTRUCTION CORP. CHAIRMAN & PRES. ENGR. NEMESIO J. JARDELEZA."

For their part, ANFLOCOR Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Ricardo R. Floirendo committed to make Microtel Hotels and Resorts GenSan one of the crown jewels in GenSan’s burgeoning tourism industry and with the hotel chain’s formidable network all around the globe, will help promote the city as an emerging destination in Southern Philippines.

Check out the design below.  Click on the image for a LARGER VIEW.

AN ARTIST'S RENDITION OF THE PROPOSED MICROTEL HOTELS & RESORTS GENERAL SANTOS, THE TUNA CAPITAL'S FIRST INTERNATIONAL CHAIN, DESIGNED BY RENOWNED ARCHITECT LUIS JUAN G. NAKPIL.

From the design shown to us, Microtel GenSan will have 3 floors housing 66 rooms/suites.  It will serve as the centerpiece of the Valley High Street, a commercial arcade much like the Floirendo’s Damosa Gateway in Davao City.  Currently,  McDonald’s has an existing 24-7 Drive-thru outlet in the compound.

Construction of the commercial center project will cost more than a hundred million and will commence this month of March.   It will take all of nine months for Microtel Hotels and Resorts GenSan to be able to open on November 2012.

Designer for Microtel GenSan is renowned Architect Luis Juan J. Nakpil.

Now that’s  definitely world class for General Santos City’s first international hotel chain!

    Just barely nine(9) months of constructions the MICROTEL Gensan will open? Maybe they use state of the art construction method to reach this goal. We could not wait to see the finish material soon.

    I tried to vote under the SOUTH EAST ASIA & OCEANIA but the last number was 42, its Cagayan de Oro. Wala na ang GenSan. Rank 1 to 5 is from the Cities of the Philippines. #1 ang Davao, #2 Cebu.

    @naitsirk: heheh, lahat nmn sguro ng mga Generals gusto mgkaroon ng high rise buildings sa city yet due to unstable land platform kya di pwede.. di nmn sukatan sa isang maunlad at high economy class n syudad ang high rise buildings but the investments coming in… mas marming investors local man or internationally-based mas masasabing high class ang economy ng gensan no matter what size of the buildings they want to put up.. the most important thing is their presence and the trust they give to our beloved Magandang Gensan for their capital investments..
