The picture doesn't do it justice.  Bottom left, look at the little truck.

Visited a friend in the Binictican neighborhood of SBFZ and this place is across the street.  Under construction for 2 years.  The owner is the founder of Converge, which went public a few years ago.

In the next lot, he is building a giant garage for cars and a large boat.

In our community we have one very similar to that in terms of size and design, and two under construction (albeit much smaller).  I'm not a particular lover of that style as It sort of reminds me of a municipal building in the UK in the 70s or 80s.  I wouldn't want to be the one cleaning all those windows!

There are two Dennis Uy and I don't think either one worries about cleaning windows.

My friend told me he wants to buy Dito now.

Agree with @hk blues, not a fan of the design.  Also it seems a bit odd to have all those huge windows that appear to only have a view across the street?  That being said, I bet it is awesome inside!

That's the style most of the new high houses in Angeles are built in.  I think the call in "modern industrial minimalist" or something like that.

Yep...as I say there are 3 new ones going up around us in that style and numerous others around us.  I just don't love the boxy style with the flat/angular roof - if they had a standard saltbox style I'd be onboard.

I don't understand the owner's fascination with all the glass, especially in a hot tropical climate prone to typhoons. The builders/architects like it because it's cheaper than block or other material yet you pay the same price. The design reminds me of something from the 1950-60.

Yep, as I said it took me back to 70s UK when there were many public libraries, clinics etc etc using that design style
