THE GALLERY - Makati (Salcedo Village)

Vista Land eyes P1.8B in proceeds from new condo

Villar-led property developer Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc. is eyeing to generate P1.8 billion from its fifth high-rise residential condominium project in Makati City, which will be undertaken by its subsidiary Crown Asia.

Called The Gallery, the 32-storey condominium will house 300 units priced from P2.3 million to P5 million each. It is located along Leviste Street in Salcedo Village.

Project construction was started this month and would be completed in November 2011.


Earlier, the company said it expects to generate close to P17 billion from the sale of its condominium projects this year.

The Gallery marks Crown Asia's first entry into the high-end market following its affiliate Brittany Corp., which launched its first upscale condominium called Mosaic at Greenbelt last year.

Mosaic is slated for completion in December 2010, and is now fully sold.

Other Vista Land projects include the three-tower Laureano di Trevi in Makati City, the 42-storey Avant in Fort Bonifacio, the five-tower Marfori Residences in Muntinlupa City and the three-tower mid-rise Pacific Residences in Taguig City.

For the first nine months, Vista Land posted a consolidated net income of P2.77 billion, up 170.9 percent from P1.02 billion in the same period last year.

As of end-September, its assets stood at P40.22 billion. - Judith Balea

The use of stunning gable turrets, shingled roofs, towers, balconies, and intricate latticework completes the reinterpretation of San Francisco's charming design style.

FAQ

What is the exact address of Presidio?

Presidio is located in Sucat, Muntinlupa. It lies between Alabang and Makati, bordered by Laguna de Bay and South Luzon Expressway.

When will Presidio be finished/completed?

Presidio is a multi-phase development expected to be fully completed in 7-10 years. It consists of 16 residential towers on top of commercial establishments. Da Vinci, which is the first tower, is already sold out and is scheduled for delivery by the first half of 2006. Michelangelo, the testimonial garden condo, will be completed and delivered on the first half of 2007. Rembrandt, the second mixed-use tower, will be delivered in the 2nd half of 2007. Picasso, the featured building for the Middle East Road Show, will be delivered on the 2nd half of 2006, just a short wait from today’s presentation.

What are the items included in my purchase?

The finished unit will be delivered to the client as follows: complete bedroom partitions except for those specifically defined as option/provision, white- painted walls, vinyl floor tiles, complete bathroom fixtures, kitchen base cabinet and provisions for window-type airconditioning. Each unit will be provided with individual electric and water meters for easy monitoring and fair charging.

Can I alter/change/re-design my unit?

Though the exterior of the building/unit cannot by altered as defined in the Master Deed of Restriction, the interior of the unit can be modified according to the taste or preference of the owner subject to the rules and regulations of the condominium corporation.

Does my purchase include a parking slot?

Parking slots are sold separately from the units. The client has the option either to include or not to include a parking slot in his/her purchase. Every unit sold can avail of at most 2 parking slots.

What does the Total Contract Price include?

The Total Contract Price includes all applicable government taxes (such as E- VAT) and other miscellaneous charges in processing the transfer of title to the owner. Therefore, buyers need not worry about additional charges in order to secure their unit; the Total Contract Price already takes care of these expenses.

What are the fees/charges that we have to pay?

There will be condominium dues payable every month. This amount is based on the area of the purchase unit, and will cover payments for the building insurance, fire insurance, and property management. Property management would include the maintenance of common areas such as the hallways, landscaped areas, swimming pool, playground, security and others. Condo dues are estimated to be around P24.75 - P34.65 ($ 0.45 - $ 0.63) per square meter or P2.20 - $ 2.75 (0.04 - $ 0.05) per square foot, based on same product category and location. However, exact rates shall be determined by the condominium corporation at the time of the delivery.

What is the extent/coverage of the building and fire insurance?

The building and fire insurance covers the costs of the building against natural calamities and disasters. As mentioned, the payment for the building insurance is covered by the monthly condo dues. However, personal belongings (such as furniture and appliances) of the unit owners are not part of the building insurance and therefore, are outside the clause of the building and fire insurance.

When can I get my title?

The Condominium Certificate of Title will be made available 3-4 months after the delivery of the unit and execution of the Deed of Absolute Sale. Before the turnover of the unit, each unit owner will be informed beforehand of a joint inspection to be conducted by the developer and the buyer. Should both parties agree that everything is in order, then the process of turnover and eventual title transfer shall commence shortly after.

Can I have my unit leased?

Yes, negotiations are underway with property management groups that are offering leasing facilitation services for interested parties. As soon as the units are delivered, unit owners will have the option of having their units registered for leasing services.

Can I sell my unit?

Yes, you can sell your unit as soon as the Contract to Buy and Sell, which is accomplished at the time of confirmation of purchase, has been executed and notarized. The Crown Asia office should be informed of the purchase or transfer of ownership, including the names of the new unit owners. In case the unit has already been fully paid, then the owner should submit a formal letter stating his authorization of the said transfer. In case the unit is not yet fully paid, aside from the original owner’s letter, the new owner should also submit a formal letter stating his acceptance of the pending duties and obligations of the said account, particularly the remaining schedule of financial payments.

What is the rate of return on this investment?

Presidio provides good opportunities for investors and prospects alike. Units sold last year enjoyed an average increase of 25%. Current unit values are then expected to double over in 3 – 4 years time. And, since this is a pre-selling project, you can expect that your chosen units would continue to appreciate even after your purchase, unlike Ready-For-Occupancy units that decrease in value through time due standard depreciation.

    THE FORT RESIDENCES - Fort Bonifacio Global City






    THE FORT RESIDENCES is the 3rd project of Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) in the booming Fort Bonifacio Global City. Following the overwhelming success of Fifth Avenue Place and McKinley Park Residences in the US and local market, RLC believes that The Fort Residences will again attract the discerning taste of Filams/ Balikbayans/Investors alike.

    Through the years RLC has maintained its innovativeness, value driven concept, track record and its position as the leading player in the mixed-use developments. All of its projects remain on schedule and on specifications.

    ENJOY THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS (Loft and Flat)

    Enjoy cosmopolitan living. The Fort Residences is a 28-storey modern residential tower, featuring the best of both worlds: A choice of flat and loft types, units are available in 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms.

    The LOFT concept integrates privacy in condominium living. Working on with the combination of space and functionality, each loft unit was envisioned to bring out that same homey ambience residents have been accustomed to. Dining, living, and kitchen areas are all located on the first floor while the master bedroom is on the second level. To address the need of senior family members, a bedroom is located on the first level for two and three bedroom units. The loft’s high ceiling is designed to provide a refreshing atmosphere and enhances the residents need for cosmopolitan lifestyle living.

    The FLAT concept is already a time tested product that caters specifically to the Balikbayans and FilAms retirees due to the living convenience and freedom of one level setting - Dining, living, kitchen areas and bedrooms are all located on one level.

    PRIME LOCATION

    • The Fort Residences will be part of Bonifacio Global City which is envisioned as the most modern and best master-planned business district in the country. As the country’s future business capital, the Fort Bonifacio Global City area is considered as one of the icons that truly express the qualities of urban lifestyle living.

    • The Fort Residences is located in the Padre Burgos Circle, a very strategic and prime location close to Manila Golf, Fort Strip, Market Market, world-class healthcare (St. Luke’s Hospital) and international schools.


    AN ARRAY OF AMENITIES

    The Fort Residences provides residents a different kind of lifestyle – it boasts of swimming pools both for adult and children, a gym, jogging path, function rooms for parties and family gatherings as well as landscaped garden areas.
