Annual Report 2012 - Alphaland Corporate

Alphaland Marina Club
side of the city, while boosting the nascent local
boating and yachting industry. We believe the AMC
will address all of these needs.
The Marina Club is the centerpiece
of Alphaland Bay City.
The Alphaland Marina Club (AMC) was launched
in a grand reception at The Alphaland Tents on
November 8, 2012. Over 350 guests attended, and
over 100 shares were sold. Alphaland presented a
table-size scale model of the development, to give
guests the look and feel of the project. The guests
responded positively to the presentation, and
many said they were eager for the opening of the
club.
We have heard many times, from our members
and the market, that there is a real need for a club
like AMC. One that will bring public attention
back to Manila’s beautiful bay - a venue created for
world-class social and sports events on the West
The construction of the AMC is divided into four
projects: the 900-meter breakwater; the marina
floating piers, anchor piles, and utilities; the
clubhouse foundation; and the clubhouse itself. Each
of these projects has been subjected to a bidding,
and contracts have been awarded for the breakwater
and clubhouse foundation.
The breakwater is an underwater mountain made of
rock. When completed, less than 10% of the mountain
will be visible above the surface. It will look like a wall
about 4 meters high above the waves, with a flat
crown about 3 meters wide. Underneath the water,
however, the mountain is much more imposing in
size, 45 meters wide at the base, and up to 9 meters
high from the bottom to the waves, actually bigger
than a typical section of the Great Wall Of China. To
construct this mountain, we will need to quarry and
transport roughly 220,000 cubic meters of rock, from
different quarries in Rizal province, Bataan, and as far
North as Zambales.
