Anchor Land bares 7 new projects this year

MANILA, Philippines - Placing its bet in on a resurgent property market, listed high-end Binondo-based developer Anchor Land Holdings Inc. is gearing up to launch seven new projects – from commercial developments to luxury residential suites – this year.

“This is our vote of confidence on the Philippine economy in general and the property sector in particular. It is also our way of living up to our motto of 100 percent commitment to deliver all projects on time, without sacrificing the quality and beauty of our developments,” said Anchor Land chairman Stephen Lee Keng.

Another bestseller is the 39-story Wharton Parksuites, which caters to those who send their children to the most prominent Chinese schools in Binondo. The project is likewise nearly sold out.

WHERE IS THIS BUILDING? AYALA AVE.???

^^Masangkay street near all those chinese schools, st. stephen, chiang kai shek, hope christian, sakya, uno, phil cultural.. Thats why this is one of the fastest selling projects in the philippines and is nearly sold out as investors are trying to cash in on the influx of mainlander chinese and the expansion of all these schools. That is unfortunate for other investors who are only keen on the makati and fort boni areas, not knowing that there are opportunities elsewhere.

[QUOTE=derf;77556805]As of May 2, 2011..

Thanks Derf for uploading latest pics ... sana matapos ng Dec 2012 ! =)
Maaga ba mag-turnover ang Anchor Holdings , based on previous history ?

i studied at st. stephen's during elem and high school. ang masasabi ko lang sa area na yan, good luck with the traffic.

ang maganda, malapit nga siya sa schools and metropolitan hospital is just a few meters away. this is good for families with school-age children.

Thanks Derf for uploading latest pics ... sana matapos ng Dec 2012 ! =)

Ummm... not so early. dont quote me on that but most likely middle of 2013 na yan..

Traffic is really bad during school opening and dismissal, peak hours/peak season due to the heavy gridlock along Recto going to and from Divisoria. And the reasons exactly why this project has been a big seller. Chinese parents who like to send their kids to some of the best Chinese schools around here do not want to endure those heavy traffic, so this would most likely be their second home.

Wharton primary market will be those parents who will send their children on those Chinese schools nearby. The location shows a good investment potential due to the continuous increase on numbers of the new Chinese migrants in the Philippines.

Traffic is already an old issue in this area, traffic doesn't change even during the time when I was still a student studying on one of the Chinese school there. Masangkay has a very narrow street therefore it gets congested easily during peak hour.

yeah right....so 8 kids per room?

yeah right....so 8 kids per room?

Most condo units here in Binondo target Chinese families. For Chinese, they really want spacious style of living, therefore floor area on most of Binondo Condo are bigger. A 3 BR unit usually starts at 100sqm+. While studio unit usually starts at 35sqm+.

Thanks for the updates.

I agree, traffic is bad here, but the chinese schools here are really good.

di ba kasama dapat 2 sa eboycott ng mga pinoy gawa ng ganid ng mga chinese sa spratlys.

sorry OT.

@superproxy, wag mo naman kami (fil-chi) isama sa mga mainland chinese. pinoy at heart na kami kahit na singkit.

back to topic - point taken, malamang nga puro families with school-age children ang market nito. pero pansin ko lang, sa mga classmates ko noon na nakatira within walking distance of our school, sila ang laging late. =)

ang para kay Juan ay para kay Juan at ang kay JET LI ay kay JET LI kaya stay away from spartly's at ayusin nyo pakikitungo nyo sa mga kasambahay nyong pinoy pra di kayo saktan ksama na mga tindera nyo sa mga tindhan nyo kungsaan saan. Wat if kung wlang intsik products sa pinas at wlang intsik cguro mas okay mawawala din mga illegal drugs. Masakit man isipin bansa natin ang pinas pro ang mga kasambahay pinoy parin may nakita na ba kayong katulong na intsik wla diba.

hi. looks like things are heating up here. anyways, just thought i should share my opinion lang. no offense to all. i'm not chinese, but here is my view of it....

maganda na walang chinese products sa pinas, that would help our economy, but looking at the situation right now, kung walang chinese products, e marami na sa atin ang hindi mabubuhay dito sa pinas. imagine the prices of these products. besides, most of the branded stuff now are also made in china. like the cellphone you might be using? ano kaya kung talagang mangyari yun noh? confiscate ng philippine government all products made in china in protest of the situation happening now, specially sa spratlys, and sa drug deales, and sa kasambahay?so, in fair view, if wala yang mga yan, e baka naka kalesa ulit tayong mga pinoy? tapos pagka umulan, dahon ng saging ang gamit natin? hindi naman makanuod ng DVD kasi ang DVD player sa bahay,made in china, ma miss mo ang PBA dahil wala rin palang TV sa bahay cause made in china pala??? ang kay juan, kay juan... e pano yung mga OFWs natin? nasa saudi, UK, etc... e di dapat ang kay bob, kay bob... ang kay OMAR, kay OMAR? there are always two sides to a coin.

anyways, the fact of the matter is, again in my own opinion. it's not the race, it's the quality of people. may mga loko-lokong chinese, meron din loko-lokong pinoy, at meron din sa ibang lahi.

no offense, but i think we should look at it with a few more points of view. i seldomly check this site out, just bumped into this today.

sorry for the offended. no harm meant.

nice

when finished, hopefully mas makakahikayat pa ng iba pang developments around this area itong Wharton Parksuites extending the skyline of binondo to sta cruz

Sana nga, hindi mabilang ang mga mukhang condemned pero lungga parin ng squatters na building sa may LRT strip along Mayhaligue to bambang.

New update, nothing has changed dramatically.

^^^ ung 168 twin tower finishing na rin!!

Update as of May 13, 2012:

They are mostly focused on internals as of the moment, I think because they want it to look new when the building in turned over. As you can see in the first picture, the skeleton for the roof/helipad is being constructed already.
