CENTURY CITY MAKATI: KB and GRAM'S Skyward Ascent

Gram and KB from the 21st Floor of the Pacific Star Building
Just sharing picture updates on the construction for Knightsbridge Residences and Gramercy Residences at the Century City in Makati (from Feb. 25 to July 14, 2011). 

Gramercy (the tallest building in PH, when its finished) is slated for turnover on Q4 2012, while Knightsbridge will follow a year after, Q4 2013.

Site Development Plan for Century City, along Kalayaan Ave., Makati

Its quite exciting to see these developments come to life before our very eyes.

Gramercy and Knightsbridge, plus the completed Grand SOHO Makati, as seen from another angle.
I am sure when Milano and Centuria (still within the Century City area) start construction, they will provide the Makati skyline even more eye candy.

TURNOVER:  GRAM 2012,  KB 2013,  CENTURIA 2014,  MILANO 2015
Contact me for information about these properties. 

Excitedly yours,

GENERALLY GOOD NEWS: Templeton's Mark Mobius in Manila


Its not everyday Manila gets a visit from a known "global investor and emerging markets fund manager", but that's what we just got from Mr. Mark Mobius from Templeton Asset Management.

 From what I surmise from current news, he speaks about the Philippines with a mixture of curiousity and caution, with dashes of general optimism at what the country can do, economically, at least.

“We’d like to see the Philippines growing at the rate as China is,” Mobius said (probably wishful thinking).

It would be nice to take notice of Philippine stocks.  There are opportunities open here.

KNIGHTSBRIDGE: featured on the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Lifestyle Section)

Read the complete article here
Its always nice to read about condominium investments, especially if its a project by award-winning developer Century Properties.

The Knightsbridge will be the 2nd building to be built at Century City and will be one of the tallest skyscrapers to add its beauty to the Makati skyline.

An excerpt from the article:

Since its launch the basic price of the unit has risen from P2.5 million to P3.5 million.

“Early buyers had healthy returns, close to 40 percent. They see the value of pre-selling. When a project is launched, it is an opportune time to purchase. People buy into the reputation and delivery record of developer,” says Antonio.

Ultimately, the condominium is an investment.

“Buying for property forces you to set aside money, and you’re building equity toward your future home.”

And by the way, when the article said that "To date, 97 percent of the units have been sold.", they were not kidding.

I checked today's availability chart, and the building is REALLY almost sold out.

Units in WHITE are the only ones left.  Get them while still available.
Find out more about the Knightsbridge Residences.  Contact me.

I can send information about amenities, location, pricing, flexible terms. etc. about this property.
Let me know.

ACQUA: Dare to Compare. Great amenities, Great Design team, and Great Value for money.

My Kuya Piolo explains:  Why Buy Acqua?
The Acqua Private Residences is a great looking property.

It looks even better when you compare its amenities and price with those of developments nearby.

Oh, and do you know which design team did the Acqua Private Residences?  Broadway Malyan, of course.

Send me an email, or a text for more information about Acqua.

ACQUA: Great Location at a VERY attractive price (Sutherland Tower, Unit 25-06)

Acqua Private Residences will be at the forefront in waterside development in the metro.
The Acqua Private Residences is at a location where 2 cities meet -- Makati and Mandaluyong. It is connected by the newly-constructed Estrella-Pantaleon bridge which means future residents can be at the CBD (central business district) in 5 minutes. 

Its like owning a home in Makati but paying taxes in the more affordable Mandaluyong side (also known as the mall-capital of the Philippines, as it hosts various mall complexes like Shangri-La and SM Megamall).
The Estrella-Pantaleon bridge, just completed in 2011 and connects Mandaluyong to the Makati CBD.  The Acqua property is adjacent to this new bridge which makes it a very, very attractive location. (photo credit: Gemma Stephenson)
See, I told you the new bridge is literally a few steps away from the Acqua property
Now, you are probably asking, "How do I own a unit, already!!?" 

In reference to a previous blog entry, let me share with you the actual price of an 81 sqm, 1 BR unit with a Private Garden at the 25th Floor.

Spot Cash offers best discount (25%!!), while next best is Equal Payments at 10%
 We can customize payment terms depending on the needs of the client (ex. you can frontload your payment for smaller amortizations).  Please contact me via phone or email so I can give a no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point quotation for you. 

Century Properties offers best value for your property needs.  Do your "due diligence" and compare.
