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 34
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.
