The inviting pool of The Columns Ayala
The Columns Ayala or what we call The Columns Residences is located in such a very strategic location where Makati Business District is located in the corners of Ayala and Buendia Avenue. I happened to have a quick tour on it when after attending the birthday of our former AVP Susan Billones of Philippine National Bank held at one of the Glorietta high-end restaurants, Mrs. Cynthia Molina, my immediate boss in PNB Loans Administration Division invited us to their condo unit here at The Columns.

Leasing 3-tower 30-storey property with 800 residential units ranging from
studio units to two-bedroom condominiums. Its ground floor has commercial
units where restaurants and other business establishments lease a space for their
business operations.
The open space for functions and activities just adjacent to the pool area
I was with two other former PNB colleagues: Miss Lucille Sarmiento and Brenda Magsino and we were toured by Madame Cynthia around the 3-tower residential development area. Had we brought with us a swimming gear, then we should have enjoyed a dip in the 25-meter lap pool.
This open space is also adjacent to the clubhouse
Aside from being equipped with commercial establishments at the ground floor, the development property has the following facilities and amenities of an urban-living provision:
- 25-meter lap pool
