High-end condominiums are luxury accessed only by a privileged few—and for a reason. The world-class facilities, spacious areas and stunning panoramic view of prime cities, such as Manila, are just a few of the advantages that business executives, affluent families, and young professionals require from an extremely competitive market that offers countless residential options.
With staggering prices per square meter, buying a condo unit at the high end of the real estate market is not an easy feat, especially that vertical living is becoming a popular solution for rapid urbanization.
To determine the luxury condo that would best suit your lifestyle preference, Lamudi has rounded up five things to consider before sealing a deal.
Location
Accessibility to life’s most premium offerings is one of the greatest advantages of living in a high-end condominium. Most luxury condos are located in inner-city locations with close proximity to public transit, business districts, and commercial and entertainment centers. Not only that, most developers make sure that their residential developments are situated within a quiet and safe neighborhood. For young professionals and families, the location should be a top consideration as it affects both the financial and lifestyle aspects of living.
Square footage
Though space is one of the main attractions in high-end condos, it is usually sold at a premium. That is why knowing what type of space you are looking for before buying a condo unit will save a lot of time during the buying phase. For growing families or young professionals who want to install a home office, a unit with ample storage space or additional rooms will be of great value.
Security system
Security is a top priority among luxury condominiums. Property developers usually install modern security equipment such as alarm systems, CCTV cameras, gated parking areas, and security personnel who regulate the people coming in and out of the building. Make sure to look for these features when buying a high-end condominium.
Appliances and amenities
What sets luxury condos apart from the market are the top-of-the-range appliances, on top of the basics. Aside from upgraded condo fittings, luxury condos are also best known for their world-class amenities. These are meant to provide a comfortable and deluxe lifestyle. Check for the quality of the fittings and the types of amenities offered. For residents who love the outdoors, check if the condo has sufficient outdoor space. Most luxury condos can offer concierge services, pet centers, fitness centers, and even a game room.
Common areas and landscape
One of the most loved features in luxury condominiums are common areas and landscapes. High-end condominiums have attractive and well-maintained gardens, as well as several lounges, where the residents could take respite from the bustling metro. Modern luxury condos also emphasize common areas with both intimate and public ambiance. Be sure to consider these before deciding on a unit.
In all of these, Anchor Land proves to be an expert when it comes to providing an ultra-luxurious residential experience. For more than a decade now, Anchor Land has specialized in designing and building sophisticated high-end condominium developments that satisfy the demand of the upscale market.
To name a few, here’s a quick run-down of Anchor Land’s most luxurious condos that promise a high life within Manila’s vibrant cityscape.
Anchor Skysuites
Anchor Skysuites is currently the tallest building in all Chinatowns in the world, with 56 stories and a total of 346 condominium units.
This high rise boasts of superior amenities that span over 5,000 square meters, which include sports facilities, gym, dance studio, 25-meter lap pool, children’s pool, garden lounge and café, and entertainment rooms. The building is designed with a biomorphic form to allow ample amounts of air and sunlight into the building, significantly reducing energy consumption. It also utilizes code-based and performance-based systems to ensure safety during natural calamities.
Oxford Parksuites
At the core of Manila’s Chinatown is Anchor Land’s Oxford Parksuites. The 40-storey high-end condominium is a learning-centered residence in the middle of Manila’s “Chinese School Belt” where schools like The Philippine Cultural High School, Chiang Kai Chek College, Hope Christian School, and other prestigious ones are situated.
Oxford Parksuites is accessible to business, leisure, and commercial centers of Binondo. Its location makes it a convenient point for any type of public transport including the LRT-1.
Despite being in a bustling, high-traffic area, the project’s design allows privacy, high-quality daylight, and natural ventilation to residents with lots of open spaces and amenities to give a feel of refined, urban living. The units offered range from one- to four-bedroom modern flats complete with amenities that offer a luxurious urban lifestyle.
8 Alonzo Parksuites
8 Alonzo Parksuites is another high-end development by Anchor Land right at the heart of Manila’s center of commerce. The property was designed with local businessmen who are starting their families in mind, giving easy access to prime business establishments within the city.
Residents at 8 Alonzo Parksuites can enjoy a plethora of amenities, including a 22-meter lap pool and kiddie pool designed with garden and landscape features. It also provides entertainment facilities, fitness centers, and other indoor amenities. In addition, the roof deck has a function room that gives a bird’s eye view of the Manila skyline, with a roof garden to complement its luxurious ambiance.
With all these modern skyscrapers and their exciting features, Anchor Land’s legacy is not only limited to providing multiple options for luxurious condo living but also providing valuable options for an upgrade in upscale urban living in Manila Chinatown.
