Property firm taps int'l market

For its most ambitious venture—the Admiral BaySuites, a 53-storey residential luxury condominium being built behind the legendary Admiral Hotel, property developer Anchor Land Holdings, Inc. (ALHI) has tapped the services of New York-based Bona Tierra Realty to handle its sales and marketing campaigns in the US. The only Filipino licensed real estate broker company in Manhattan is headed by the vivacious Corazon “Cora” Rivera as chairman. Cora Rivera knows her onions, hobnobbing with the Filipino community in The Big Apple as well as dignitaries and big businessmen—the likes of Donald Trump and daughter Ivanka. For Admiral BaySuites, Cora has arranged an international property roadshow in May, with ALHI president Beth Ventura joining them during the initial weeks. We wish you the best on your New York trip, Beth!

Admiral BaySuites is located at 2138 Roxas Boulevard, Manila. For inquiries, call 888-9999 or visit www.anchorlandholdings.com.
