I think it's cold-cathode fluorescent or most likely LED Rope/String. Phichanad, would you know exactly what they're using? The showroom seems really modern so I don't think they'll be using antiquated neon lights.

Would try, but dont expect I can answer correctly..kelangan lapitan ko yung kanilang office...I pass by in a car eh...

kelan ba hukay nito. Sana magfoundation na sila para makita na natin ang tallest building, baka maunahan sila ng lopez sayang rin.

^^ Lopez ba sure na??

^^may announcement but until naghukay mahirap asahan, at least ito mukang mas go!

Sana matayo lahat! :)
Meron na tayong:
Lopez Center - tallest office
GA Sky Suites - tallest residential
Project ng Metrobank - tallest hotel
Gramercy Residence - residential rin. :lol:

Would try, but dont expect I can answer correctly..kelangan lapitan ko yung kanilang office...I pass by in a car eh...

Thank you. :D Oo nga naman ano, kailangan ding makita ng malapitan para madetermine kung ano ba talaga gamit nila. I've only seen it in pics kasi so I couldn't tell either.

Diba yung office tower muna ang mauuna?

BTW. This GA Sky Suites I think is most advertised condo on local TV ever! TVCs are shown a lot of times, I guess to much for a condo, sometimes even twice in a single commercial break, goodness, it's like they'll never run out of units to sell with such aggressive marketing. :tongue2:

This is the 30-second TVC being shown on air...

Tinitingnan ko yung scale model previously sa SM Megamall....I dont think it would not be the tallest residential building in the country, lalo na tallest building. It looks like less than 200meters...possibly tallest building in Quezon City or tallest building in EDSA.

^^ Yun yung sinasabi nila eh.. Tallest in QC. Mas mataas pa siguro yung St. Francis dito.

onga., andaming commercials., minsan kahit sa primetime! :) kahit sa wowowee pina-plug to., :)

2nd most advertised on TV, i guess would be the Le Grand.,

Malayo din....its like from North Avenue Station (Trinoma) to Quezon Ave Station (GA Skysuites). Thats 1 station apart sa MRT. Don't walk, use MRT, 1 station lang...

I always pass by the area....wala pa naman ginagawa masyado....pero the marketing of Globe Asiatique is very strong ang presence, they have a lot of booths at malls eh.

Thanks..sa reply..
Are u familiar with Soho Central? How close is it from SM Megamall? Walking distance ba? I hate driving in the Philippines...MRT ok na rin.
Thanks again.

BTW, which is better ..location wise.. Soho Central or GA Skysuites...

Soho Central. Although GA Skysuites location do have great potential, that will take a long time to build up and make a huge impact...plus the wait for your unit there will also take a long time... :ohno:

i agree. soho central's location is excellent!! right at the 'Crossing' of EDSA and Shaw!! other crossings that are second to it are the: ortigas, cubao, west ave etc... :)

Very inspiring write up on Delfin Lee. Hats off to you sir. :okay:

From sweeping floors to building towers
Smell opportunity to make money
By Tina Arceo-Dumlao
Inquirer
http://business.inquirer.net/money/topstories/view_article.php?article_id=70516


MANILA, Philippines—Real estate developer Delfin Lee says one thing he learned from sweeping floors and carrying goods at the family lumberyard as a child was to smell an opportunity to make money.

Lee tells SundayBiz in an interview that because he was always at the shop floor—during weekends and school breaks—he would end up discussing business ideas with the other workers and owners of neighboring shops on España in Manila.

He developed his business sense as he grew older, and soon, he was deep into a trading business that covered all sorts of products, such as steel and, of course, lumber.

“I would import everything that was in demand,” Lee says. “Whenever anybody needed something, I would look for the supply.”

He expanded later to manufacturing, producing fabricated steel and it was from his people at the trading and manufacturing businesses that he got the idea in 1992 to go into real estate.

“At the start, I just wanted to build nice homes for the employees. Everything grew from there,” the 51-year-old Lee says.

The Santa Barbara Villas I project in San Mateo, Rizal was set up in 1994 and the buyers then were able to get a two-room unit for just P150,000, partly through a loan from Pag-Ibig.

The first 300 units were bought by employees and some friends, but the project later expanded to cover 2,500 duplex, single-detached and row-house units.

He initially thought that going into socialized housing through his new firm Globe Asiatique Realty Holding Corp. would be as easy as setting up a trading and manufacturing business. He could not be more wrong.

The financial, marketing and operational problems sometimes became too much that there were times when Lee just wanted to wash his hands off the project and give up.

Lee says that deciding to stick it out in the real estate industry despite the problems was one of the hardest decisions that he had to make.

“It was such a losing proposition because I was hit by the Asian crisis and it took me over three years to get paid for the homes by Pag-Ibig. In the meantime I was losing money. If it were not for my people, I would not have stuck to it,” Lee says.

It was fortunate that he did because the market turned and it became easier to get payments from government housing agencies.

Lee was thus encouraged to give housing another try in 2000 and the result was the Santa Barbara Villas II primarily marketed to the police force, soldiers and teachers.

Globe Asiatique’s big break, however, came in 2003 when he came up with the idea of putting up a condominium project right in Metro Manila that will be covered by the maximum P2-million loan allowed by the Pag-Ibig Fund.

The result was the GA Tower on Edsa right beside the Boni Avenue. MRT station, the first to be developed jointly by the private sector and Pag-Ibig.

“People thought I was crazy for going into it. But I told them, maybe I see a market you don’t,” Lee says.

He did, indeed, because all 648 units of the first tower were sold out in just three months. The clamor for more units led to the GA Tower II, and the units were immediately sold out too.

Homeowners have moved into the first tower in 2005 and the next tower will be ready by June next year.

Lee attributes the fast take-up to the investments of overseas Filipino workers—who account for about half of its sales—and more importantly, to the demand by the working class looking for affordable housing near the places where they work.

He says that being the first company to cater to the housing needs of this market has positioned Globe Asiatique well to take advantage of the undeniable rebound in the real estate market.

Globe Asiatique is now knee deep in many other projects, with more coming up, that Lee says he has permanently left his trading and manufacturing days behind.

These include The Enclave at Angeles City, Pampanga and the higher end GA Sky Suites at the corner of Quezon Boulevard and Edsa, near the Quezon Boulevard MRT station.

“I am now full time into real estate development because I also thought that this is the kind of business I can leave to my children, unlike trading which calls for personal relationships,” he says.

And what he wants his children to know is that it pays to keep their ear to the ground and to listen to what the market wants from their housing projects.

“I did not have any single study made on my projects before we put them up. I relied more on gut feel and always listening to the customer. It is not about what I want, but what they want,” he says.

It was from talking to potential customers, for instance, that he got the idea of putting up an affordable condominium.

It was also the customers who told him to go for a two-story unit because they want to rent out the other two bedrooms to save on the amortization cost.

“I believe that Filipinos do have money. If they see product, they will go for it and there will always be a demand for housing,” he says.

Globe Asiatique will continue to look for opportunities in the condominium market for the middle-income market but he says he still sees great potential for growth in the socialized or affordable housing market, the ones that cost about P750,000.

It is also in this arena where he believes he will derive the greatest fulfillment.

As his experience with the Santa Barbara showed him, a house is not just a house to the masses. Because they have their own home, and a greater sense of security, they feel better about themselves and their community.

“This is also the whole idea why I went into this business. I wanted to help elevate their lifestyle,” he says, “I want to see ordinary Filipinos live with their families in a nice house they can call their own.”

after reading this article, can i change my opinion above? :)

>>anyway, corner naman sya ng EDSA so definitely kasama s'ya sa second to EDSA-Crossing location!! LOL!!:cheers: Long live the existing and soon-to-be-built and u/c skyscrapers!!

"be one of the first to make it happen" ?? gano ba dapat karami ang mabenta nila para simulan na ang project?

waaah.. ang mahal... hahanap na ako ng trabaho.. mahirap lang kame eh.. hehehe

for 3-BR lofts, mura na sya... not for claustrophobics though he he.

"be one of the first to make it happen" ?? gano ba dapat karami ang mabenta nila para simulan na ang project?

That is SO not a very good logo! It implies exactly what you are assuming. I still don't understand why people have to wait so long for Globe Asiatic to finish the bloody thing...:sly:

It could be another bank loan.. I know RCBC financed their GA Tower 1 project with a guarantee by Pag-ibig fund.

The bank could be requiring a % number of units sold before they release initial funding.

also at 75K/sqm for the area, parang mahal sya. that's makati and fort already, and mas mahal sa most ortigas developments. nadadaan lang sa*magandang scheme in*the sense na 30% lang ang babayaran mo in*4+ years. parang magaan. pero after the turn over its a different story altogether. saka 5 years ay matagal na waiting period. but the building is superb anyway. wish lang na nasa ortigas man lamang ito. matatagalan pa bago mag-boom ang proposed QC as a business center eh. my two cents of course.

fully finished naman ang mga units nang Globe Asiatique (paint, tiles, kitchen cabinets, kitchen counter top toilet/bath fully tiled, lights, etc).. ready to move in na sya.. so pwedeng hindi ka na mag pa interior... kaya 75K / sqm.

most developers naman fully-finished ang turn-over unit. some lang like SoMa ay fully fitted na yun ang mas mura kasi ala ka na talagang bibilhin, dadalhin mo na lang ang clothes mo. hehe.

imho, mahal sya for 75K/sqm sa QC area. then again, they're tagging this project as high end and based on renderings, high end naman talaga ang dating. i wish lang na sana nasa ortigas sya o kaya makati or fort.

I remember GA1 back in 2003 was like 30K/sqm for the lower floors/inner units..

most developers naman fully-finished ang turn-over unit. some lang like SoMa ay fully fitted na yun ang mas mura kasi ala ka na talagang bibilhin, dadalhin mo na lang ang clothes mo. hehe.

imho, mahal sya for 75K/sqm sa QC area. then again, they're tagging this project as high end and based on renderings, high end naman talaga ang dating. i wish lang na sana nasa ortigas sya o kaya makati or fort.

I think pure location wise both are very good and it depends on you which you value more , proximity to existing cbds or upcoming ones, or even if you prefer just living in quezon city just because it's a little less congested.

Anycase can't really compare skysuites to soho as siyempre tapos na ang soho while skysuites is still going to be built. Many years down the road I think eventually this will just boil down to buyers preference similar to the north of the pasig, south of the pasig line.

received a marketing email for the eton baywalk, it seems lucio tan's eton is going to develop the land opposite GA Sky Suites into a sort of eton city with resdl condo, BPO buildings, commercial areas, etc.

>>question: r we still excited with new dev'ts?

^^^ Para sa akin, siguro tama na. Parang ang dami na at nakakatakot na. Siguron dapat tapusin munang lahat yung mga U/C at saka sila mag umpisa ulit. Isa pa hindi pa natin alam kung ano ang magiging takbo ng economiya ng bansa sa 2010.

^^ Yup, my sentiments exactly. We only have PGMA for three years plus we have an Opposition dominated Senate that is hell bent on destroying our economic gains for their own personal gain. God knows what will happen in 2010 so enjoy this boom while we still have some certainty. QC high rise real estate has yet to weather any economic crisis since it is one of the most vunerable spots of the Metropolis. Just in Quezon Avenue alone, you'd tend to see some unfinished buildings that have been there forever. Plus that grey Fil Estate monstrosity behind Quezon City Hall....a true testament on the city's vunerabilities.

i thought fil-estate will push through with that project now that they're collaborating with megaworld on a project down south? anybody who knows about this new plan, pls?

Can someone confirm the information posted in this site: It says that the GA Sky Suites will only be 200 meters when completed: http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/23484/GA+SKY+SUITES

^^ Only in Asia can a 200 meter height figure be considered as "only".... :lol:

^ Well, we need supertalls (beyond 300 meters) :yes: :lol: And, I included only since the Sky Suites was one of the towers prospected to be future Philippines' tallest (overtaking PBCom at 259 meters). So maaari na siyang burahin sa mga prospects for FPT ngayon :D

Nyek, haha, 200m "only" :D haha, how tall is GA sa Boni station? I don't think it will only be 200m. Hope not! hehe, gawin nalang 260m ok na

What's the tallest building in QC ba (in meters)? Willie Revillame is still marketing this tower in Wowowee as the "tallest building in QC" :)

What's the tallest building in QC ba (in meters)? Willie Revillame is still marketing this tower in Wowowee as the "tallest building in QC" :)

I think yung isang building sa Eastwood? Eastwood lang naman ata yung may matataas na buildings e

if the robinsons equitable tower is still part of QC., then robinsons equitable nga., since galleria is in QC, right? or if QC parin yun crowne plaza..., pero kung hindi naman., tama si kiben., the one in the middle of eastwood., yung bago., (i forgot the name.) yung may twin., kaso hindi pa sya complete.

parang wala pang 170m kasama arc

Nyek, haha, 200m "only" :D haha, how tall is GA sa Boni station? I don't think it will only be 200m. Hope not! hehe, gawin nalang 260m ok na

^ Galleria is under the jurisdiction of QC ;)

EDSA cor. Ortigas Avenue, Quezon City

galleria is not in QC.. pasig yata or mandaluyong?

yep its QC., if i'm not mistaken, even poveda. pero i'm not sure kung pati bldgs around galleria are under QC.

QC na yun? weird naman non.. heheheh

^^ Actually, sabi nila ang Galleria may 3 address daw yun.. Pasig, Mandaluyong, and QC.:) Pero ang Robinsons Equitable Tower sa Pasig side yun.:D Ang address ata ng building Pasig.:)

Crowne Plaza is definitely QC, I think also Holiday Inn Galleria, not sure about Rob.Equitable.

Crowne Plaza is definitely QC, I think also Holiday Inn Galleria, not sure about Rob.Equitable.

so., QC's current tallest is crowne plaza.(?) and eastwood parkview will get that title in a few months. (?) :)

GA skysuites would have an easy time being QC's tallest.

So even at 38 x2 it's only 200 m, oh well. So much for the 250 m QC building.

at least nadagdagan na naman 200 m sa MM :D

Does anyone knows what is the percent of sold units in GA Skysuites?

looks like they're digging something beside the showroom., or baka ung trucks lang nakikita ko., not sure if the equipments are moving, but they're definitely beside the showroom.,

at least nadagdagan na naman 200 m sa MM :D

Mahlig ka talaga sa matataas at mahahaba, ang laki pa nga ng smile mo o. ^^ hehehe :naughty:

looks like they're digging something beside the showroom., or baka ung trucks lang nakikita ko., not sure if the equipments are moving, but they're definitely beside the showroom.,

I think it's the adjacent office tower they're doing now.

^^ but wouldnt the office tower affect the lot of the showrooms as well? oh well, at least may movement na tong sky suites., :) happy., :)

edit ive just looked at the render., and posible nga na simulan nila ung corporate tower., since nasa quezon ave side ung mge equipments., :)

----------
btw., in fairness sa GA, aggresive ang marketing nila for this project., posters are all over the scout area., :)

^^ I think the showroom stands only on the site of the residences, the remaining quarter of the land for the office tower seems clear.

may agent na ba dito for GA?

mag start na yung BPO tower nila this month. Start na sila mag fence kaso they are still waiting 4d release of the QC permit

yup pag narelease na yung permit go na. may nagdidig na sa loob e. if you have question about GA just pm me :)

I think it's the adjacent office tower they're doing now.

Cool! At least we are assured that the office tower will be built as oppose to those mixed used projects wherein mostly the residential portions get built (cough...Rockwell and Lopez Tower...hint hint).

price increase!! +350k ang natitirang mga units sa sky suites.. bili bili na bago mag mahal ulit contact me :P

hello.. update naman dito sa ga skysuites!!!!!!
were planning to get one...
ano ba mas maganda??

i was gonna get one from here kaso ang tagal ng turn over 2012 pa.

hmmm nice napaka divine ng kanilang marketing manager!

passed by here yesterday sabi nila they still have around 200+ units left out of the 900 or so units. Naghuhukay na sila, at the back so they don't have parking for their showroom. In a few months i think they're tearing it down.

^^ The kuhay at the back is for the office tower.

Mauuna ba ang turn-over ng office kaysa sa residence ng Sky Suites?

^^ I'm not sure actually, I did not ask but if they plan to go after the office market it's here and now, not almost 5 years away, di na natin alam how the market is then, it's not even makati and Lucio Tan is building a 30 story office building diagonally accross on their lot (as per Eton Mgr)

Yeah, it seems like a lot of office developments are going up right now to fill the demand, so it will be like a race on who gets to serve the office space needs first.

:banana: I saw its commercial on abs-cbn yesterday:)

Just saw its ad on the newspaper. Its much better than I expected, and ganda pala ng design. You just have to see it from certain angles to realize its ring shaped footprint :)

does the 38 floor count include the lofts in the count?--too lazy to read the prior posts, thanks

nope it isnt included. so when you count the loft its 38 floors x 2...the height is roughly 200 meters.tall enough to be a landmark in QC.its higher than all the current residential buildings in makati, ortigas or the fort.

any latest buzz on this landmark project???

Has anyone seen the new TVC of GA Sky Suites? Not the "Sky High" 30s and 45s TVC, meron pang mas bago, I think it' being shown on PBB commercial breaks. I love it! It's unlike any other condo TVCs I've seen before.

^^ yung my guy at girl na gumigiba ng walls? tapos nung end nakatayo sila sa parang rooftop?

^^ Yup.

meron din yatang scale model nito sa loob ng PBB house, yung nasa bandang CR...

* * *

IMO, isa ito sa mga pinakamagandang projects ngayon

^^ yep., meron nga ata., i think i saw that one too., :)

^^ Meron talaga.

yup, i saw the scale model inside PBB house.un nga lang, hindi masyadong nafofocus kaya hindi ma view ng tama!!!

visit this website: www.gaskysuites.com

^^ ok sana yung site, kaya lang mas maganda sana yung bg na artist rendering ng building...

i kinda saw a part of the site a while ago.

the digging's pretty deep already :)

yah.. i saw the site too earlier.. by god they are going in deep...

My fave condo TVC, "Straight Jacket".

"Straight Jacket" GA Sky Suites new TVC - Director's Cut

The final version on TV is a 30 second edit of this one.

yeah the tvc is nice.. however i think it would be better if they used filipino looking models instead..

Yeah, it'd be better that way, but I really love the concept of this TVC.

baka naman Fil-Am yung mga model hehehe, thats a larger target market for GA.

ang ganda naman ng commercial na yan. anyway, meron na bang thread about GA Stack?

ang ganda nga ng building tapos lalagyan din naman ng giant billboard gaya nung sa ga tower sa boni

Lalim na nga!
take a look!

Comment: The rendering of GA was cut and pasted in a night shot of an unknown place (that's definitely not EDSA nor Quezon Ave. or is it?) and as a result you got a weird night perspective. Haha.:lol:

that's in Vegas... that's Mandalay Bay...

that's in Vegas... that's Mandalay Bay...

GA in LV eh? LOL. :ohno: :lol:

that's 5 level basement parking kaya siguro very deep(?). they will demolish daw this June the offices situated at site to give way to laying of foundation of residential tower.

kaso matagal na malalim yan.. wala pa rin sa ground level.. ang tagal...

ala pa kasing general cotractor and natagalan sa slope protection kasi 6m ang loose soil material which may lead to erosion,

cheaply laid out

hi ganzo: sir, any update on depth of the excavation? parang naiinip ako.

anyone who knows when ground level works projected to start?

EEI daw ang general contractor- same as that for GA Twin Towers. Haven't they finalized agreements yet?

Depth of excavation is around 25m deepest is 28m ( portion ) , EEI Plans to start by may 15 as per contract . And they say that Skysuites will start this june so they probably will start demolition of the sales office this month

Delay ang mobilization ng gencon coz they are still negotatiing the price since this project is co-financed by RCBC

Thanks for the info. So malapit na. Looks like Eton Centris accross the street is moving faster kasi. Baka mauna pa sila.

Yeah, whoever they hired to do that does not have much Photoshop experience. :D

Thanks for the info. So malapit na. Looks like Eton Centris accross the street is moving faster kasi. Baka mauna pa sila.

Eton will do a mall in the corner of edsa and q.ave , C Jonathan Gan & co. will design the mall / supercenter. But wala pa naman balita that they will construct or launch the residential compoment of centris; depends cgro sa sales ng skysuites. The mall on the other hand will compliment GA Skysuites coz it could start soon.

:bash:

Does anyone know if there are still units in GA Skysuites available for purchase?

I have tried to contact GA on a number of occasions regarding availability without any success.

Thanks

I've been to their model units, it was very nice. My parents, and some relatives already bought units in GA Skysuites. I've seen their model building and other future projects of theirs. It looks so modern and original. Especially the GA stack, which looks like boxes that are crazily placed on top of each other.

can you provide us with photos? thanks... of GA stack that is..

just go to their website and send an online inquiry just like what i did...and to answer your question, yes they still have available units except for sky loft units. i was given a quote of garden loft unit in 25th floor if you're interested i could pm you the details.

Thanks so much for your assistance. In fact, GA did reply to me a few days after my message here on 12th May and outlined the prices of the remaining units.

The disappointing aspect, for me, was that all of the larger units were sold and the remaining units were either 41sqm or 43 sqm. Even worse, since GA emailed me (on 15th May), there has been a further price in the remaining units of approx 8 - 10%.

In addition, I have some concerns of size of units - I mean, to me, 43 sqm is a good sized studio condo or a 1 bedroom unit, but to squeeze 3 bedrooms into it ? I'm just concerned that it detracts from the upscale branding that GA is trying to attach to the building.

Anyway, I am still really tempted by this .... esp as GA allow investors to combine 2 of the 43 sqm units into a single larger unit .... and I think I'll sign up for one of the combined units (+, hopefully, a Robinsons condo) when I am in Metro Manila in another week or so :-)

Thanks Weina


I had actually contacted GA through the gaskysuites.com website a number of days before posting here, although it took a week or so to get a response from them.


Unfortunately, there has since been another price rise (in late May) in the region of 8% or so ..... for example, the price quoted for a Garden Loft unit on 25th floor is now 4.051m pesos.


I'm still tempted to purchase a unit or two here. However, I don't like the concept of 3 bedroom condos @ just over 40sqm ..... in my opinion, 40sqm is great for a studio or 1 bed, but no where near spacious enough for 3 bedrooms.

sana okay ang turnover at finishing ng GA Sky Suites unlike their first project, GA twin towers,na sobra pangit ng finishing ng mga unit using only the cheapest materials available.

Yup atlis sa GA Tower Suites mas okay na ang turn over nila, kasi unlike sa GA Twin tower na ang turn over ay BARE UNITS, sa GA Suites Furnished na, kasama sa pakage ang ibang furniture, so di na kailangan magpa renovate. (bad news for us a an interior designer) the task is given to JAGNUS10 as their inhouse contractor, unlike sa GA-1 Architectural finishes lng ang undertaking nila, but sa GA-2 talagang Structural lng ang ginawa ng EEI sa bldg, kaya ang electrical, plumbing at architectural JAGNUS10 na. kahit papano polished naman na ang mga JAGNUS10 e, dahil sila na lahat ang gumagawa ng development ng GA properties, like ng sa enclave, sta barbara, st monique etc... not to mention that GA Tower suites is their ICON para sa international comunity, minamarket na nila yun as early of 2006 sa europe. so expected na medyo upscale ang cost ng GA tower suites but worth it naman.

Diba it's "Jagnusten"?

Diba it's "Jagnusten"?

Its jagnus10, deririved from the reversed surname of Sonny Sunga (agnus) and Archt John Tracey (letter J) (JAGNUS) originally 10 silang grupo from marketing department na binuo ni Divine Lee (Daugther of DL) delfin lee, in which one of the member is his BF. thus JAGNUS10 was born. pero ngaun hindi na cla buo, mdyo some of them goes sepparate ways. Si archt Tracy ang may hawag ng GA suites at GA-2, and xa rin ang may concept nun.

^^ Ah, okay, thanks. I've seen Divine's BF in a mag before.

to those of condo unit owner who wants their place renovated, we offer our services as interior designer. just e-mail me at sagi_tango@yahoo.com and i will be sending you pictures of finished projects in GA tower-1. tnk you.

I passed by the site last Monday. They are now demolishing the showroom. I hope the construction will begin in the next few weeks...

Yes construction has now begun. We will now start seeing the progress in the coming months. :-)

mabilis pa naman gumawa yang GA, ung tower 2 nga nila sandali lang, ngayon tapos na.. hehehe,

sana okay ang turnover at finishing ng GA Sky Suites unlike their first project, GA twin towers,na sobra pangit ng finishing ng mga unit using only the cheapest materials available.

Really!! Meralco bill divide by #of units, lugi yung ibang unit owners na konti ang appliances..tsk..tsk..tsk..

the crane is up!

Hello all, I'm newbie to this site. Do any of you guys have a picture/s of the current status of the GA Skysuites? If you do, paki-post naman. Thanks!

I just visited the model units today. I'm suprised that a 3br 43 sq mtr loft looks pretty spacious (compared to North belton's 43 sq mtr flat). I just hope its still that spacious when the unit gets turned over.

Anyone here owns a Globe asiatique property? Just want to ask if they built it good and they maintain it well. Dami ko kasi nababasa sa thread na to na reklamo sa GA towers. I'm considering to get a unit here since the payment scheme and the price is affordable.

What do you guys think?

any update if anyone knows the total height of this tower?

Just saw the render below while Googling. It's a perspective from EDSA:

Hi Surigaonon,

Thanks for posting the current construction pictures. Tagal pa nga, hopefully it's worth the wait.

Ay sus, naging tsismis thread na ito ha! :lol:

Going back to the topic, this is kinda weird, the adjoining office tower is already on it's way up while the residential is just being dug-up.

this might be over
200 meters, no?

GA Towers nga,
30 floors lang but
they're over 170 meters.

ummm, what happened sa Torre Venezia? akala ok na yun? nadadaanan ko yun nakatayo na naman sya at may mga nakatira na? i thought the issue was resolved.

I dont think sir na naresolve ung problem, ksi dis march babakuran na "daw" ng young builders yon, sinangla ksi ni Guinhawa title ng torre para sa balance sa lansberg place, natalo n s supreme cort yon, den s court of appeals tapos na din. Sorry OT!

Yes, Berkeley Residences has....in page 2. Welcome to skyscrapercity.

Ronnie R tnx, kta ko na, i think i need a interior designer s Berkeley, very plain ang interior, even the tiles r so cheap looking. I saw it s megamall B 5th flr showroom nila, bare n demo unit nila.

Anakngpasig, OT but where did u get the info on the height of GA Twins are around 170m?

So we can safely assume this to be at least 200m...sana we can solve this question soon.

^^ that's just my guesstimate.
but let me explain.

each floor of GA Towers
is actually bi-level. i work
just a few buildings away
from this project and i've
witnessed its construction.

what i have noticed was that
they build first a very tall floor,
much taller than any office floor
i have seen so far, and then,
they divided each floor into
two low-ceiling floors.
technically, the whole building has
60 floors.

even if each bi-level floor is only 5 meters
which i think is close to the real height,
we get 150 meters add to that the tall crown
it can be anywhere from 160-170 meters.

Here's a pano...

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9553/imgp2184aoo3.jpg
^^
this explains why, just by looking at
GA Towers, they are obviously very tall.
in fact, too tall for just 30-storeys.

as for GA Skysuites:

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q179/asph80/skysuites3.jpg

if you have noticed the layout above,
there are six floors below the level
marked as 2nd. Technically, there
are 44 floors above ground.

if GA Skysuites' floors from
2nd level to Penthouse
are all bi-level just like GA Towers',
the whole thing could very well
be over 200 meters.

May katabing building ang GA Sky Suites na pwede ka siguro makipark...

FYI lang po, 24 hours na Mcdo is along Quezon Ave sa tapat ng Crossings/NBS and Mercury Drug, not the one at the EDSA-Panay Avenue corner near the MRT station.

@ ganzo tnx..sa info..

Just secured a parking slot in GASS!!!

Congrats!:banana:

whats happening here?musta na ang updates natin dito?

up ko lang po!!!

FYI lng. Sa mga buyers ng GASS, diniscuss ba sa inyo kung paano payment ng electricity? sa GA tower kasi wala kasi kami separate meralco bill. although may metro pero ang admin ang magcocompute ng rate. Right on may additional 10% patong kaaagad sa bill ng meralco sa building. tapos ang admin na mag compute ng rate per kilowatt base sa bill ng meralco. So expect higher electricity bill.

At cable TV sa GA tower once magpakabit ka continous na billing forever di mo na pede pa disconnect after some time.

wala pa association kasi bago ma form yon e dapat at least 50% ng building ay occupied.

Ah kaya cguro ganon pa systema nila, para s overhead nila yon, pero cguro pag my association na , d na ganon, at tsak d papayag ang mga unit owners.:cheers:

I'll take care of this info. mga Bro. gimme sometime and I will inform everybody about everything...

By the way here are my other details with regards to GASS para sa mga unit owners...

1. Confirm Concrete walls ang partition between units...wala tayong problema don...
2. May guard each floor ng parking para ma ensure na every car is parked and registered sa GA
3. Walang advance sa association dues pag turn over and roughly 20K lang ang move in fee

This info.'s came directly from GA kaya kung may iba diyan na mas upto date ang info. pls share din...

Additional info. lang...after hand-over pa ng unit yung pagpapa interior.....then yung cable TV bills and arrangement will depend on who will be the service provider...

what are the going rates for the various units here?

what are the going rates for the various units here?

It's safe to say...3.3M starting for a 3 bedrom 41SQM Loft unit.
including washing machine/aircon(3qty)/fridge and stove....

To be honest latest availability will start on a Garden Loft (43 SQM)unit starting 5th floor and above...so expect 3.6M as the starting price...

how many floors ba ang GA Sky suites???I thought this will b the tallest building in the Philippines once finished?

here the ling for projected bulding

UPDATES PLEASE

this may look interesting....
I found out an updated list of tallest buildings in the PI
Says here that the height of GASS is placed at 220 meters and with 44 floors!!!

Im not quite sure for the Bedroom pero sa kitchen ata yes...I've seen the model units during my month long leave sa pinas last month and I'm impressed...note nga pala for those who have seen the model units sa head office....medyo sa actual turn over may kaunting space na kakainin for the walls of the building...kaunti lang naman kasi yung sa model units eh built such a way na walang walls na makikita....but it will still look big compared to GA towers because ang design is semi circular...kaya malaki ang room sa baba kasai paluwang yung design.....nothing to worry about....sosyal pa rin ang dating....hehehe:banana:

Globe Asiatique's Delfin Lee: Redefining mass housing in the Philippines (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=523628&publicationSubCategoryId=66)
By Conrado M. Diaz Jr. (The Philippine Star (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=523628&publicationSubCategoryId=66)) Updated November 16, 2009 12:00 AM


MANILA, Philippines - High up in his Ortigas Center office, Globe Asiatique Realty Holding’s (G.A.) founder Delfin Lee is all smiles as he briefly looks out the orange skyline. The man has reason to be happy, his two latest projects (Xevera Bacolor and Mabalacat) have literally sold like hotcakes and is poised to contribute close to P10 billion to G.A.’s top line growth, with almost 65 percent of the units sold in about a year’s time.

Starting out in 1994, the modest Lee had envisioned a company that would develop housing opportunities for low-income earners without the low quality standard or stigma that comes with that segment.

“We are in the business of building communities and not just houses. The ordinary Filipino wants a better lifestyle, a higher standard of living for his/her children than what they actually had while growing up. We at G.A. are going all out in order to make this particular Pinoy dream possible, and I believe we’ve been uniquely successful,” Lee points out.

G.A.’s ambitious corporate vision is best captured by their two flagship projects in Pampanga, the dream communities of Xevera Bacolor and Xevera Mabalacat which were launched back-to-back in 2007 and 2008.

Any first time visitor to Xevera Bacolor is bound to be initially skeptical. There was just no way this could be low cost housing in the Philippines! Old-world elegance meets modern Filipino, inspired by Spain’s classic architecture.

Amenities include transportation terminals and commercial areas, a wet and dry market, a church, a city town hall, a clubhouse with a sprawling pool, and a 34-classroom school built in partnership with the e-media program of ABS-CBN Foundation.

Lee points out: “For the Filipino breadwinner, the education of his kids is as important to him. So once he has his dream house, education is his next priority. We are happy to say that in Xevera Bacolor, the children of our buyers get access to free education, complete with free books and uniforms.”

The much newer Xevera Mabalacat is equally at par with the quality of that Xevera brand. It also features a school, church, town hall, a wet and dry market, a clubhouse with an Olympic-size swimming pool, commercial areas, an amusement park, and a three-hectare eco park. Its architectural design also brings to mind Spain’s exuberance and warmth. Residents get to enjoy the convenience of a transportation terminal, with the additional perk of a soon-to-be completed road all the way to Clark.

In line with G.A.’s focus of providing both the “software” and “hardware” elements for the built communities to thrive, the company also tries to provide livelihood opportunities to residents and keeps close cooperation with the local governments to help seek opportunities for their homeowners.

“Owning a house is well and good, but having a home within a community that is progressive, orderly, and full of opportunities is even better. When I set out to form G.A. in 1994, I didn’t want to repeat the mistakes of some of the mass housing developers in the 1990’s who focused on building houses as cheap as possible and didn’t focus on the kind of communities that may thrive after the houses are built,” Lee was quick to point out.

Now finding its niche, G.A. is set to launch more projects this year, including The Courtyard, the New Sta. Rosa Homes in Laguna, Sameerah in Angeles City, and the groundbreaking Xevera Neo-Calapan in Mindoro.

“All these projects have one thing in common. They are all top-class developments made affordable for the average Filipino. Also, these projects gain market acceptability because they have assured financing from Pag-IBIG. Our focus is the end users. We strive to elevate lifestyle conditions through our housing projects and make it affordable to income-challenged Filipinos,” Lee explains.

He continues: “Owning a house in our properties is as easy as applying for a Pag-IBIG housing loan. All one needs is a loanable amount, now with a reduced interest rate, and payable in 30 years with Pag-IBIG. Having said that, any Filipino can now own a GA unit at an affordable and fixed monthly amortization.”

This financial scheme is actually brainchild of Lee, assisted by his vice president for finance and executive vice president, and heir Dexter Lee. It is one of G.A.’s unique propositions that helped earn G.A. early credibility in the industry.

Perhaps the phenomenal success of G.A. in redefining mass housing in the Philippines can be attributed to its innovative financing schemes as well as in the unique marketing strategies that it has employed to reach out to the lower-income segments.

Some of their marketing highlights include a partnership with the iconic ABS-CBN reality show Pinoy Big Brother (PBB). The PBB house was actually modeled after a St. Monique Valais home and helped catapult G.A. to nationwide recognition.

Another successful partnership is with Willie Revillame’s Wowowee. In the program’s Bigtime Pera o Bayong game, the most coveted prize is a G.A. house and lot. The company also supported shows like Pinoy Dream Academy and Little Big Star.

On the marketing front, Lee is assisted by his daughter and protégée Divine who is G.A.’s vice president for international sales and marketing. Only 27 years old, the young and energetic Divine has brought a fresh, “out of the box” approach to tackling some of G.A.’s marketing challenges.

Divine further explains their logic: “Within G.A. we are open to fresh ideas and programs that more conservative companies in our industry perhaps would never even consider. In the end, we convey an attitude that is youthful and open, and to the extent that we can offer innovative solutions to the needs of our future buyers and customers, we always explore it. This way, G.A. is always adapting to the needs of an equally evolving market. ”

For instance, the much talked about grand launch of the G.A. Sky Suites in 2007 which was the brainchild of the young Lee, took the country by surprise. The three-day event featured collaborations with iconic Filipino fashion label Bench, iconic Philippine fashion designer Inno Sotto, and Pagcor through a celebrity fund-raising “afternoon casino” where G.A. donated proceeds to the ABS-CBN Foundation.

Now almost completed, G.A. Sky Suites is soon-to-be the tallest building on EDSA. An urban vertical project unlike Xevera Bacolor and Mabalacat, G.A. Sky Suites is a 38-storey residential condominium offering a design concept that includes two juxtaposed sculptural forms, which combine to form a dramatic edifice. Gardens soar to create points of interest in multi-levels. At night, the building glimmers with its glass fins as the roof angles towards the sky giving it an iconic appearance. Other features include al fresco dining, sky gardens, a swimming pool, and a playground. Beside it is the G.A. Corporate Center, which is similarly on track for its 2012 target completion.

It is of no surprise then that G.A. has accomplished much in a very short time since its incorporation in 1994 given its the reputation of non-traditionalism and non-conformity, not only in the real-estate industry but as also amongst their local and international clients who found that unique G.A. approach as very service-focused and customer-centric.

For instance, only a few years back, in 2003, G.A. took its first big leap into high-rise development with the G.A. Tower Condominium I on EDSA. Two years later, G.A. Tower II began construction. The G.A. Twin Towers offered a haven of amenities such as the swimming pool, gym, and spa as well as several fast-food establishments. The spacious roof deck had a beautiful view of the city skyline. The residents also enjoy utmost convenience because of its central location and proximity to the Boni MRT Station. This early success of the G.A. towers eventually led to the launch of the company’s most ambitious vertical project in 2007, the G.A. Sky Suites,

While these high-profile vertical developments created unprecedented hype for G.A., Lee never lost sight of his core mission, and forged on with what G.A. does best – community and townships development with Saint Monique Valais in Rizal in 2003, Chateau Valenzuela in Valenzuela City in 2003, Casa Ibiza in Antipolo in 2005, Golden City Business Park in Bulacan in 2005, and The Enclave in Pampanga in 2006.

Saint Monique Valais is one of the best-developed areas in Binangonan. A community located in a valley, it also houses Le Clole du St. Monique, the most distinguished school within the vicinity. Chateau Valenzuela, on the other hand, is a five-star condominium development inspired by the European culture. It has a total of 18 buildings, with each building named after a famous European landmark, having six floors and maximum of 84 units.

At Casa Ibiza, a vacation to Mexico now becomes an everyday indulgence. Casa Ibiza features a “car-less” architectural design, where each unit faces inward for a perfect view of the swimming pools, luxurious clubhouse, park with waterfalls, lagoon and the impressive landscaping. The modern American architectural aesthetic of Miami, Hollywood, and Malibu inspired The Enclave. This project in Pampanga featured nine modern style homes – Van Der Rohe, Koolhaas, Gehry, Breuer, Mayne, Holl, Aalto, Ungers and Meier.

Giving back to the community is similarly embedded in the company’s business model
, and encourages all employees to participate in all of its corporate social responsibility endeavors. Although , the G.A. culture embraces this role with open arms. Beyond regular donations, G.A. is always responding to the needs of their communities and the needs of various organizations that they support. Lee immerses himself and listens to the people. As for the two heirs, Dexter and Divine, they need not be told what to do. In trying times, they are the first to run onsite, and first to get down and dirty with the people with the true spirit of service at heart.

“It’s very rewarding when after years of youthful exuberance, trying out and experimentation, one eventually discovers his true niche in this world. For G.A., I am happy that at a very young age, we have found our niche and our market has responded very well to us. Where we want to go, and where we believe we can continue to redefine Philippine mass housing, there is no stopping us.” Lee concludes.

good question coz I've never think about it...sige kontakin ko sila then will let everybody know....sige neighbor!!!! hehehe

Globe Asiatique eyes P3.3-B from IPO

abs-cbnNEWS.com | 12/03/2009 3:35 PM

MANILA - Property developer Globe Asiatique Realty Holdings Corp. is eyeing to raise as much as P3.39 billion from an initial public offering (IPO) slated early next year.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Globe Asiatique said it will offer 170.4 million primary and secondary shares to be sold at P6.50 to P10 apiece.

The offer shares, which will be listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange, is equivalent to 15% of the company's outstanding capital. Globe Asiatique has also set aside an over-allotment option of 168.71 million shares, raising total IPO shares to 30% of outstanding capital.

BDO Capital and Investment Corp. will serve as the lead manager and underwriter for the offering.

Net offer proceeds will be used by the company to finance cash requirements for the construction of various projects such as GA Sky Suites and Corporate Tower (P100 million to P500 million), and Sameera (P100 million to P400 million).

Globe Asiatique, led by businessman Delfin Lee, focuses on the development of housing or high-rise projects for the socialized and low-cost housing sectors.

For the first 9 months of the year, the company reported a 40% rise in net income to P300.14 million owing to a 4% jump in revenues to P3.02 billion.

Globe Asiatique to brave market, files IPO bid
GMANews.TV - Thursday, December 3, 2009

Real estate developer Globe Asiatique Realty Holdings Corp. is seeking to raise fresh funds through an initial public offering next year.

If approved by regulators, this may be the first IPO in the country for 2010 and the first major maiden offering in nearly two years following volatile market conditions.

Globe Asiatique filed a registration statement at the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking approval to sell up to 305-million new common shares through the Philippine Stock Exchange and raise as much as P1.4 billion.

The proceeds will be used to boost the company’s landbank, fund future property developments and settle debts.

Globe Asiatique, led by businessman Delfin Lee, plans to list up to 339.16-million shares, through primary and secondary offerings. This will include 168.7-million shares for the overallotment option. The total number of shares is equivalent to 15 percent of the company’s outstanding capital stock of more than 1.136-billion shares immediately after the offer.

The company is seeking to list at the PSE’s primary board.

Globe Asiatique’s total capital expenditure for next year may reach P3.05 billion. Of the amount, P1.8 billion is for the construction of G.A. Sky Suites, Sameera, Xavera Mabalacat and the expansion of Xavera Bacolor. The company also plans to launch three more projects – New Sta. Rosa Homes, Sameerah and The Courtyard.

Meanwhile, P1 billion is for the refinancing of its debts.

Higher sales from its projects pushed Globe Asiatique’s earnings in January to September by 40 percent to P300.1 million.

Revenues improved four percent to P3.02 billion from P2.9 billion.

At end-September, total assets of Globe Asiatique amounted to P7.56 billion, higher than the P6.03 billion a year ago.

Land developments and housing construction made a dent to the company’s cash and cash balances, declining to P11.68 million from P19.96 million.

The available landbank for future project of the company is 215,188.70 square meters.

When the financial fallout began in the late 2007, several companies such as budget airline operator Cebu Air Inc. and entertainment and movie producer Viva Communications, postponed their scheduled IPOs last year.

Software developer Ripple E-Business International Inc. was the last company to brave the market. In its offering last September, the company raised net proceeds of some P17 million.

San Miguel Brewery’s May 2008 IPO was considered the last major IPO for the PSE, wherein the beer unit of San Miguel Corp. was able to fetch P25 billion in fresh capital - GMANews.TV

^^ Its probably just easier, cheaper and faster to manufacture and install.

The office building is rising up really quickly for this project but the residential portion sure is slow...

ang tagal pa nito, april 2012 pa! magkano na kaya itinaas s price ng mga units dto? nkuha ko ung s kin sky loft 3.2m yata, magkano na kaya now?

thanks for the updates. Truly, one of Philippine's landmark. Nice interesting, intricate architectural design. Based on the construction picture, I supposed the higher tower now is the office part, seems glassy and unique based on rendering. The residential part is a separate semi-circular building fused with the office building only joined in the podium level. That's the way I'm looking at the rendering.

tnx s pic sir!

and, kasama na po ba ang VAT sa total selling price? do we need to worry about it upon turnover? thanks. :)

Yep its EEI as the main contractor and the TSP is VAT inclusive.

"Structural Works of the Corporate Center is already at the 7th Floor Level. For the Sky Suites, works is on-going at the Ramp of Podium 3. Foundation Modules 1, 2, 3 & 4 have been poured. Concrete pouring of Foundation Modules 5 & 6 will be done as soon as the site activities resume by the first week of January 2010.

To date, EEI has already accomplished 10.237 %"

INTERIOR ARCHITECTURAL WORKS

Shamracks Construction has already started with the Interior Masonry Works"

6.0 ELECTRO-MECHANICAL WORKS
W. A. Sabalbero Construction, LOT Builders & Pacific Airconditioning & Gen. Services have already mobilized at Site...."

Taken from their DEC report..thou 2 months back but it gives an in depth information of who's doing what???..

Globe Asiatique income surges 82% to a record P502 million in 2009
By Jeng Diaz (The Philippine Star) Updated March 03, 2010 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Backed by the continued strong sales in its residential projects, Globe Asiatique Realty Holdings Corp. (GA), one of the country’s biggest property developers, posted an 82- percent hike in its net earnings last year to a record P502 million, from P275 million in 2008.

In a statement, the company said gross profit on real estate sales rose 35 percent to P1.5 billion as realized revenues from real estate increased by P322 million, anchored on the heavy take-up of units in Xevera Mabalacat and Chateau Valenzuela, coupled with the completion of the initial phase of Xevera Bacolor.

GA is a leading developer of affordable townships, as well as a prominent player in the high-rise residential condominium market.

Chateau Valenzuela, originally an 18-building cluster of mid-rise condominiums in Valenzuela City, is now on its 17th building with plans of adding another eight buildings in the next two years through its expansion phase. Meanwhile, the Xevera projects in Bacolor and Mabalacat towns in Pampanga are 80 percent and 70 percent complete, respectively, both also with their own expansion programs.

Last year, GA sold 11 percent more residential units across all projects, or a total of 5,384 units worth P4.1 billion.

“We are pleased with the market’s response to our Xevera projects in Pampanga. This episode brought about the all-time high income of the company in the last 16 years. GA will continue to focus on its vision of providing quality housing for the low-income Filipino families. We expect the demand to be undersupplied for the next five to seven years, and we anticipate that the business will continue to grow in this segment,” said GA president Delfin Lee.

Building on this momentum, Xevera Neo-Calapan in Oriental, Mindoro, the company’s third and latest project under the Xevera brand, is undergoing construction at full blast, with a scheduled launching date in April.

“We envision every Xevera project to be a self-sustaining community with amenities provided by the company – a school, commercial mall, wet and dry market, municipal hall, town plaza, theme park, church and clubhouse, among others,” said Lee.

GA’s other groundbreaking projects include St. Monique Valais in Binangonan, Rizal –where the hit TV reality show Pinoy Big Brother patterned its exterior house design; Casa Ibiza in Antipolo; The Enclave, The Courtyard and Sameera all in Angeles City, Pampanga; New Sta. Rosa Homes in Laguna; GA Twin Towers in Mandaluyong; and the 38-story GA Sky Suites and Corporate Tower in Quezon Avenue – soon to rise as the tallest building along EDSA.

The Enclave, a high-end executive subdivision, is 90- percent complete. The Sameera, a socialized housing project which offers the same quality and host of amenities associated with the Xevera brand at a lower price-point, is scheduled for launching next month. GA’s first commercial project, The Courtyard, was launched last January and is now fully leased out to restaurants, bars and food chains.

Sta. Rosa Homes, a four-hectare low-cost housing project, is 60-percent complete.

On the other hand, the upscale GA Sky Suites is 30- percent complete, with a 38-floor semi circular residential building and a 25-floor curvilinear corporate tower due for turnover to homebuyers in 2012.
To fund the development of its housing projects on a wider, nationwide scale, GA plans to raise as much as P3 billion through an initial public offering (IPO) of its shares at the stock market.

The stock sale will involve between 15 to 26 percent of GA’s outstanding capital, at an indicative price range of P6.50 to P10 per share. Specifically, GA will offer a total of 170.4 million common shares (136.36 million primary and 34.09 million secondary) with an over-allotment option of up to 168.71 million shares.

The IPO, once approved by securities regulators, will break a nearly two-year lull in major listings at the Philippine Stock Exchange. Based on PSE data, the last major IPO was that of beer giant San Miguel Brewery which raised P25 billion in fresh capital in May 2008.

Since that time, all companies that entered the stock market did so by way of introductory listing, a process which involve listing their shares directly, or without going through an IPO.
