Hmmm... JUPITER? Will this be located along Jupiter St in Makati City? Could be adjacent to the 2 SM BPO's along the same street as well. However, based on the rendering, it doesn't look like Jupiter St.. Also, there still seems to be a height limit restriction along Jupiter. Anyone who knows where these proposed towers will be located?

This is the project near Yupangco. Its in the corner of N Garcia(Reposo) and Jupiter. This is quite near Century City. Would provide stiff competition to Century considering they have an SM Mall in the ground floor.

kapag project ng SM, kelangan color blue at white talaga.

Interesting...the close up rendering looks quite nice.

this is the pldt property ? and they said it would not happen because of the proximity of south cemetery

I just remembered that there was a column written by Victor Agustin not too long ago about the PLDT stockyard. If what you say is accurate then SM was the unidentified buyer of that property which is a HUGE one at 2.5 hectares! I'll post a map later. :)

Funereal stirrings

The real estate market in Makati is literally rising from the dead.

The shuttered PLDT warehouse adjoining South Cemetery by the intersection of Reposo Street and Metropolitan Avenue has finally been sold, a check at the site showed.

Given that no developer would build a high-rise that overlooks a cemetery, the 2.5-hectare compound had lain unsold in the open market for years.

The going rate for the Jupiter and Reposo area, on the other side of the street, hovers in the P30,000-a-square-meter vicinity. At that price, the PLDT property would have a notional value of P750 million.

It was not immediately clear if the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. knocked off a few dozen millions just to monetize the idle asset.


-------------------------------------------------

Can anyone here in SSC confirm?

this is the pldt property ? and they said it would not happen because of the proximity of south cemetery

The way the 4 towers were set-up, I think that the wide part of each tower (which are lined up like dominoes one behind the other) faces Jupiter St. to avoid the "view". The narrow part faces the cemetery on the left and Reposo St. on the right.

^^ If you pass by the South Cemetery, there's a signage there saying, if I can recall it right, that the Makati City government will be closing the cemetery within a period of 5 years (not sure about the number, it maybe 3 years). So practically, they will be opening up the South Cemetery area, which is a huge area, for investments. Now as to who will be brave enough to build over a former cemetery, that's another question.

Add to the fact is that Binay and the Makati City council have vowed to remove all squatters on government properties before 2010 and widen the Kalayaan road to make it a more viable alternative route.

yeah i've heard that news before that they do plan to close South Cemetery... hmm too bad where all the grave will go.. hehehe

AWAK, the City of Makati is just leasing the Manila South Cemetery grounds to Manila. If indeed the news is true that Makati would be closing down the MSC in 5- or 3-year's time, it could be that the lease period would be expiring soon and it would no longer be renewed.

The PLDT property sale to SM has been confirmed by a very reliable source.

That place now is booming considering that Ayala Land / ALVEO is building a 4 or 5 tower residential tower in the former Zuellig property.

Cool. Thanks for the confirmation.

I agree that this whole strip on the other side of and parallel to Sen. Gil Puyat Ave. from Chino Roces Ave. to the Zuellig Loop extending all the way upto EDSA is already starting to boom.

Since many lots along both Malugay and Jupiter Streets are currently occupied by factories and rows of old low-rise buildings and offices, these make them candidates for massive redevelopment into high rises and mini-cities in the next several years.

At this point, we already have Avida Towers Makati West of the Ayalas and Belton Square of Lucio Tan in the area. And now we are going to have Jupiter Residences of Henry Sy!

And yes I can't wait for Ayala's announcement about their 5-tower plans for the Zuellig property in the next few months! Exciting indeed. :banana:

^^ Add the Gramercy and Picar developments along Kalayaan, the planned SM mall in the Sta. Ana racetrack area (technically, Manila area already) and the almost finished Antel developments, and we will soon have a wider Makati CBD going north to complement the expanding Rockwell developments. The southern side of Makati is booming as well, Alphaland Southgate, Beacon, Trevi towers, etc..

The Makati CBD is improving and expanding real fast!!!

^^ I thought Sta. Ana race Track is part of Brgy. Carmona, Makati. :)

^^wow a new project on that side of the town... i always notice some construction going on across that PLDT property (corner lot also). I wonder what it is, at first I thought that's the SM development. anyone knows?

^^ I also noticed that construction in the corner of Reposo and Jupiter but it seems to be a different development considering that it's a relatively small lot. Most likely it will only be a low rise building about a 5-7 story building.

the travel time by car from the riles on buendia to the kalayaan flyover is often 1 hour from 8am to 7pm monday to friday...on sundays its still 40 minutes..due to the number of traffic lights and unsynchronised lights.

a little better on jupiter.

this is just a nightmare on the works in the next 2 years.

whaatt? another SM mall? pero wala to sa latest press release nila about their upcoming malls.. maybe sa 2010-2011 pa to simulan.

SMDC rolling out P15-billion new projects (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=461968&publicationSubCategoryId=66)
By Zinnia B. Dela Peña Updated April 28, 2009 12:00 AM
Philstar.com (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=461968&publicationSubCategoryId=66)

MANILA, Philippines - Upbeat on the property sector, SM Development Corp. (SMDC) is rolling out four new projects estimated to cost around P15 billion as part of efforts to further boost sales.

At the same time, SMDC president Rogelio Cabunag said the firm’s first quarter net earnings reached P400 million this year, more than 28 times the P14 million reported the previous level. This was driven by a 109-percent jump in sales to a little over P1 billion.

“We’re quite bullish that’s why we have lined up new projects this year,” said SMDC vice-chairman Henry Sy Jr. in a press briefing following the company’s stockholders’ meeting yesterday.

Sy said the company will continue to beef up its landbank to further strengthen its hold in the highly-competitive industry. The company currently has 1.4 million square meters of undeveloped land. “As we see the market continuing to strengthen, we keep developing and buying properties to ensure continued growth.

Cabunag said the four high-rise residential projects include Princeton Residences, Tree Residences, Wind Residences in Tagaytay and Jupiter Residences.

Princeton Residences, a 37-story condominium building located in a 2,400-square meter property along Gilmore St. in Quezon City, is estimated to cost P1.5 billion. Construction will start this year and is slated for completion in 2012. A total of 1,088 units will be offered to the public.

Tree Residences, on the other hand, will involve the development of eight 12-story mid-rise buildings, costing around P2 billion. The project, offering a total of 2,420 units, will rise on a 5.4-hectare pro-perty on Imelda Ave. in Cainta, Rizal and is targeted for completion in 2012.

Wind Residences, meanwhile, is expected to cost P4.3 billion and will make available a total of 2,300 units. Completion of the project is set for 2015.

Situated in Jupiter and Reposo streets in Makati, Jupiter Residences comprises six 40-storey towers with a total of 5,224 units costing around P7.2 billion.

The company has earmarked P7.2 billion for capital expenditures this year or 40 percent higher than the 2008 level. Around 80 percent of the capital budget will be sourced from internally generated funds while the remaining 20 percent will come from borrowings

Following the success of Mezza Residences in Sta. Mesa, Manila, SMDC will launch Mezza Residences 2 consisting of two buildings with 38 storeys offering 1,353 units.

Other projects in the pipeline will be located in Taft Ave., Manila, España corner Mayon in Quezon City and another project in near the MRT Boni Station in EDSA.

“These projects are products of SMDC’s winning combination of prime location that offers convenience and accessibility to homeowners, upscale look and appeal, first rate amenities and affordable payment plans,” Sy said.

^^ That's quite a huge development if it will consist of six 40 storey towers. So I assume that since it will occupy a huge tract of land then it may well be the PLDT compound adjacent to the Makati cemetery. Residents will have a clear view of the cemetery. Yikes.

^^ I thought Sta. Ana race Track is part of Brgy. Carmona, Makati. :)

i agree. i think it's in brgy. carmona.

^^ It is in Carmona. The boundary between Makati and Manila, which in this case is Del Pan, is not that far. I do notice though that a lot of Del Pan residents fancy horse-betting. Here's a map for reference:

Oh, so malapit pala ito sa may simbahan doon (St. Andrew The Apostle Parish Church)? I see I see

gadamit! henry sy can get ahead of andrew tan (megaworld) in a few yrs if he keeps rolling out these developments. 83 and still dreamin' big. nice design

I still find it weird, though. The Chinese believe that it's bad feng shui if a building is built adjacent to a cemetery. I wonder how bad the buildings' fortunes may be from a Chinese perspective if Manila South Cemetery continues to stay longer.

is the place large enough to hold 6 buildings or will it to be too close to one another?

may price range na ba ito?

SM projects are getting better. :)

^^ I also noticed that construction in the corner of Reposo and Jupiter but it seems to be a different development considering that it's a relatively small lot. Most likely it will only be a low rise building about a 5-7 story building.

I think it's Fort Med...

I think it's Fort Med...

^^ Yeah, it's Fort Med. I had my annual PE at their original site at Jupiter corner Paseo last month and they were telling me that BDO proposed for a 14 story building on the Paseo site to accommodate existing tenants and their expansion but was turned down. So Fort Med had to transfer to the Reposo side.

I passed by the area and it seems that the former PLDT property at the corner of Reposo and Jupiter has already been cleared and leveled. Looks like Jupiter Residences will be good to go.

maybe not at this time with the recession going on....

the competitor for this is the zuellig property of alveo that will be lauched by next year.. 3-tower condo with retail component...

I read somewhere that this project's going to be called Mars Residences...

maybe not at this time with the recession going on....

What recession? Where? A friend of mine told me that recession is going on in Dubai. Maybe many of the world's economies are in recession, but not in the Philippines. A country in recession would not be upgraded on its standing! Philippines has been upgraded even in these hard times - a feat worthy of commendation, proving we are resistant to this global recession.

These constructions must go on... :banana:

^^ but then, malaking part ng market ng mga condominiums ay mga OFW working in these countries na affected ng recession. So affected pa din tayo in a big way!:ohno:

Is this supposed to be Mars Residences? See below.

SM Development Corp., the property unit of retail tycoon Henry Sy, will conduct a stock rights offering to raise as much as P5 billion to finance construction of several projects.

SM Development said in a disclosure to the stock exchange that its board approved the offering of shares to stockholders to achieve the company’s growth targets, including land banking.

The company will finalize the terms and conditions of the rights issue, including size, entitlement, price and record date.

SM Development appointed BDO Capital and Investments Corp. as lead underwriter for the offering.

Share price of SM Development yesterday closed at P4 a share, down P0.05 from Tuesday’s close.

The company has seven on-going projects—Chateau Elysee, a six-cluster mid-rise condominium project in Parañaque City, Berkeley Residences in Katipunan Road across Miriam College, Grass Residences beside SM City North Edsa, Sea Residences near the Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City, Field Residences in Sucat, Parañaque City and Lindenwood Residences and Mezza Residences across SM City Sta. Mesa.

Other projects scheduled to be launched in the second half of this year are Princeton Residences near the Gilmore LRT-2 Station along Aurora Boulevard in Quezon City; Sun Residences, near Welcome Rotonda in Quezon City; Mars Residences along Jupiter Street in Makati City; Jazz Residences in Mandaluyong City; Tree Residences along Felix Avenue in Cainta, Rizal; and Wind Residences in Tagaytay City.

Meanwhile, SM Investments Corp., the holding company of the Sy group, announced that its board of directors approved the issuance of fixed-rate dollar-denominated bonds.

SM Investments said in a separate disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange that it tapped Barclay Capital and Citi as lead managers for the issuance.

The conglomerate did not say how much it would generate from the dollar-denominated bond offering.

“The determination of the timing, pricing, terms and conditions, and other features of the bonds is delegated to management to negotiate and finalize with the lead managers,” SM Investments said.

The company plans to use proceeds of the bonds for general corporate purposes, including refinancing of existing debt obligations.

No, the article says 'Mars." Mars in Jupiter it is.

^^Ah,ok po. But let me give some details about it:

Amenities in the 5th floor.

Units will be delivered fully-furnished. Standard studio will be approximately 20sqm FA, starting at PhP1.4M

I know this location and I like it. This place doesn't get flooded as do some nearby developments. Clearing is currently underway. \

I wouldn't really mind having a cemetery view in the morning. But the tombs of South Cemetery are very disorganized and poorly maintained. Very unsightly imo. Until the plan to remove the cemetery is made concrete, units facing the cemetery will have a hard time being sold out.

Please give us more details as the project progresses.

ummm, so mawawalan ng cemetery view?

Nde ka na makakatingin sa baba sa taas ng balcony height...:)

Your eyes will be straight ahead, left and right, and up ONLY...

haha, nice one! well, with their bldgs orientation naman, only a small percentage of units have cemetery view. they just have to deal with it! i guess, ok na rin yung solution na naisip nila. it's like having a building as a view sa condos like CGS etc.

but marketing-wise, i think they should sell tower 2 first so that they don't have to deal with the problem agad. pag may momentum na ang project saka nila i-launch ang tower 1. akin lang yun ha. hehe.

that's a clever solution, not having to look down from your balcony. but who knows, the cemetery might be a goner. soon....

are there really plans to move the cemetery?

we have rumours here before that the huge cemetery will be rezoned to allow construction of commericial buildings. of course, the tombs will have to give way. :nuts: still, the idea that the place used to be a cemetery still freaks me out. heheh...


by the way, any idea on the rates and terms?

SMDC net profit surges 61 times to P1.4 billion (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=515914&publicationSubCategoryId=66)
By Zinnia B. dela Peña (The Philippine Star (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=515914&publicationSubCategoryId=66)) Updated October 21, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Buoyed by robust sales and higher completion rates of its various projects, SM Development Corp. (SMDC) posted a net income
of P1.4 billion in the first nine months of the year, or 60.88 times the previous level of P23 million in 2008.

In a financial report filed with the Philippine Stock Exchange
, SMDC said consolidated revenues surged 78 percent to P4.1 billion during the period, mainly due to the recovery in the financial markets.

Net income from operations amounted to P1.1 billion, up 83 percent from P607 million a year earlier. Realized revenues from real estate sales rose 30 percent to P3.7 billion, resulting in an expanded consolidated net income margin of 37 percent.

“We are strongly encouraged by the healthy growth in SMDC’s profits during the first nine months of this year. Our efforts to strengthen our real estate sales operations and our keen monitoring of construction costs are paying off through higher margins and better operational efficiencies. With these positive developments, we remain bullish in our business operations this year,” said SMDC president Roger Cabunag.

To date, SMDC has seven on-going projects — the fifth cluster of Chateau Elysee (a six-cluster mid-rise condominium project in Parañaque City) which is 88 percent complete; Berkeley Residences in Katipunan Road, across Miriam College and Grass Residences beside SM City North EDSA (with the first tower 47 percent complete); Sea Residences near the Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City and Field Residences in Sucat, Parañaque.

Other projects slated to launch this year are Princeton Residences (a 37-storey condominium building located along Gilmore St., Quezon City); Sun Residences beside Welcome Rotonda in Quezon City; Jazz Residences along Jupiter St.; Light Residences in Mandaluyong

City and Wind Residences in Tagaytay City.

SMDC has earmarked P7.2 billion for capital expenditures this year or 40 percent higher than the 2008 budget. Around 80 percent of the capital budget will be sourced from internally generated funds while the remaining 20 percent will come from borrowings.

^^Hay, salamat! May confirmation na...:)

Thanks for posting it here.

wow.. so this thread should be renamed to Jazz Residences then...

that's a clever solution, not having to look down from your balcony. but who knows, the cemetery might be a goner. soon....

Wala pang advice regarding payment terms and pricing. But here in Jazz, the higher the floor, more expensive. Unlike sa Grass, which is the opposite.

Two days ago there was world bank report stating that the Philippines will be spared from recession this year, so whatever speculations around maybe, I think they have basis on the matter.

The good thing is that election day is coming very near and this will help the economy as there will be cash flow into different businesses as politicians and their supporters will pour financial assistance.

This will flood the market with more liquidity and it will be good for the economy. Very helpful, especially for those hard hit by the recent catastrophies in luzon, we really need these now.

I think positive.

As a matter fact, whoever is an agent of this property on this thread, please PM me when you have details on the property already, i would be interested to invest in it, if ever, this would be my 4rth condo investment.

I was also offered a new century property resort project in parañaque, called azure, but its also not official yet. If ever, its going to be the first man made beach resort in the heart of the city in the whole world.

well, again, i think positive, and i hope i can still afford it.

Great rendering. is this official? I would like to know the orientation of the property. And which of the four buildings will be sold first?

Why do I feel more excited for tis than Century City? Maybe its because, I know I can trust in SMDC than Century. SM has built a powerful brand that can be reckoned with.

Oh yes I tell you,even the management of the building administration is very good aside from the quality of
the unit they turned over.And.every project is getting better nad better.They don't promise a lot but they have a lot
of better surprises for every pesos you paid.

i agree 100%!!!

Tower 1 will be offered first.

Too bad, SuperBoy. Late na sa Board Meeting suggestion mo to sell Tower2 first. :)

REDD808, here's the property orientation:


http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/6562/jazzlayout.jpg

this project excites me a lot! can't wait to see the 1st tower rising.

The grey area on the cross-haired map is actually South Cemetery. This is so far the development that was courageous enough to position itself near the cemetery. Aside from the columns of course. I don't really mind having it on my afternoon view. But feng shui regards it as bad luck.

Anyway, it will be a goner soon. Plus the high balcony walls will make out for it.

Can you guys, give us an idea of the unit price per square m?
- Thanks

how soon is soon? im pretty sure that side will be priced significantly lower. ^^

That is nice. I remember the quote given to us by our Vice President in San Jose Cal. "Under Commit and Over execute". It doesn't mean you under commit but it simply means do not commit a lot to your customer that when times come you have to do a lot of work to meet all the promises you made. But if you give a pretty conservative promises then you over execute then you will have a lot of happy customers...

I went to the project site, and I realized ang ganda ng location nito. Just behind Mapua School of IT. If you stand in the corner of Yupangco Building in Buendia, you can see it na.

As of today, almost complete demolition of the previous building.

Tama, this will be a huge deciding factor. units may be offered at a lower price during preselling due to bad feng shui but if the cemetery will be gone in 3 to 5 years time eh magandang investment ito.

I think Jazz and Light Res. will have a soft launch at the same time. Which of this two project makes a good rental investment? Any detail reg. this two project. Thank you for the info.

Hi Aziza, pareho lang ba yung Savemore at SM Hypermarket which Mitch_Rivera posted earlier? Tnx!

Hi Aziza, pareho lang ba yung Savemore at SM Hypermarket which Mitch_Rivera posted earlier? Tnx!

Na-confused ka ba?...What I know is that SAVEMORE here in JAZZ Residences and SM Hypermarket in LIGHT Residences, Boni Mandaluyong. Oh well, let's wait for the official project details. :)

how soon is soon? im pretty sure that side will be priced significantly lower. ^^

There's a rendering along Kalayaan Ave. right across St Andrews showing the planned multistorey Columbary. Based on the renderings, part of the cemetery where the tombs are will be replaced by a nicely landscaped columbary. i'll take photo of that after the storm. :) i'm planning to visit the cemetery this weekend. at least, i can have a very good reason to take photos of makati. everybody else will think i'm visiting one of those tombs inside the cemetery. hehe...

Wala pang advice regarding payment terms and pricing. But here in Jazz, the higher the floor, more expensive. Unlike sa Grass, which is the opposite.

I'm guessing that the reason is...the lower you are in Grass, the nearer you will be to the mall.


@ Aziza, thanks a lot for the photo updates. Based on your photos, right beside that wall parallel to Reposo is already the cemetery. maybe i should start interviewing the relatives of those who lay dead on those tombs if they received any advise to relocate the bodies.

this project will be a very good investment imo. it's right behind Mapua IT, very near the business district, near the City Hall...and few minutes of walk away from my workplace. :)

plus SM has been turning over good products... quite unexpectedly, since it's priced lower during presell.

Here's the rendering I was talking about. Took it this morning:

:lol:

Hi Aziza, pareho lang ba yung Savemore at SM Hypermarket which Mitch_Rivera posted earlier? Tnx!

cool, being a short distance from century this could be an option for a place to get some groceries for gramercy, knightsbridge and startford residents alike. im sure the maids would love to go lakwatsa every now and then. :lol:

Hi PH. does it mean that the cemetery will not be totally out? since the cemetery will be replaced by a columbary, ibig bang sabihin, they will not be able to totally get rid of the bad feng shui? I don't know I am not an expert.

I wonder kung panong style ang gagawin ng SM dito. kc sa RCBC, ang pinaharap nila dito eh puro pantry/canteen. or at least yung offices na nakita ko.

maybe SM can let the toilets face the cemetery. i have no idea if only part of the cemetery will have to go. but it's only logical to think that if one area will be cleared to give way to the columbarium, the rest should also go. or at least they could turn it into a nicely landscaped memorial cemetery like Heritage Park. in the first place, south cemetery is not being used by makati residents, but by Manila City residents.

^^ That's because the Manila South Cemetery is technically an exclave of Manila.

just make sure that the toilets are well lit everytime you use it. hehehehe....

i like this project. i'm becoming an SM fan too. :P just imagine may supermarket/grocery sa baba. how convenient. malapit sa church at Makati Med and you don't need to enter the CBD if you need to go to Ortigas for example.

how close is this from zapote and jp rizal? for access sa mga jeep.

SM group acquires P2-b lots (http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/insideBusiness.htm?f=2009/november/3/business1.isx&d=/2009/november/3)
Manila Standard (http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/insideBusiness.htm?f=2009/november/3/business1.isx&d=/2009/november/3)

SM Development Corp., the property arm of retail tycoon Henry Sy, has acquired three new properties worth close to P2 billion to support the company’s aggressive expansion.

Jose Gabionza, SM Development vice president for business planning and special projects, said in an e-mail that company had purchased three sites in Mandaluyong, Manila and Makati for its SM Residences brand.

The company bought a one-hectare property near Welcome Rotonda in Quezon City, where it plans to build two residential condominiums under the Sun Residences brand.

Jazz Residences, meanwhile, is located on a two-hectare lot along Jupiter Street in Makati City. SM Development plans to build four residential towers on the lot.

The third acquisition is located on a two-hectare property in Mandaluyong City near the Boni Station of MRT 3, where the company plans to build Light Residences.

“The three properties are already with us and the combined cost of the three lots is close to P2 billion. We purchased these properties at market values,” Gabionza said.

He said the company was finalizing the development cost for the residential towers.

The company has several on-going projects, including Chateau Elysee, a six-cluster mid-rise condominium project in Parañaque City, Berkeley Residences in Katipunan Road and Grass Residences beside SM City North Edsa.

Newer projects include Sea Residences near the Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City, Field Residences in Sucat, Parañaque City, Lindenwood Residences, which is a residential subdivision in Muntinlupa City, and Mezza Residences, across SM City Sta. Mesa.

Other projects scheduled for launching this year are Princeton Residences beside Gilmore LRT-2 Station along Aurora Boulevard in Quezon City, and Wind Residences in Tagaytay City.

The company earlier reported that net income in the first nine months of the year surged 5,900 percent to P1.4 billion from just P23 million year-on-year on strong sales of its residential condominium projects.

Consolidated revenues grew 78 percent to P4.1 billion while net income from real estate operations jumped 83 percent to P1.1 billion from P607 million on year. The company’s reservation sales doubled to 3,708 units in the first nine months of 2009. The recovery of the financial markets has also contributed to the company’s positive financial performance.

Jeeps don't cross through Reposo or Jupiter. It's a short walk if you take the Buendia jeep to Mapúa though.

The south cemetery covers a huge lot. so there's south cemetery plus around 2 more blocks and it's Zapote Rd already.

It's also very near Ospital ng Makati plus the following schools:

Mapua IT (Gil Puyat)
Ateneo Graduate School of Business (dela Costa St.)
DLSU Graduate School of Business (RCBC)
Adamson
Lyceum

@Ph Man, where exactly in makati are adamson and lyceum located?

TIA.

Thanks for the pics condoeast! Now we know who we can request for photo updates when the construction starts. :)
You have the best vantage point! :cheers:
Hope you won't mind if I request you to take a photo of the South Cemetery from the same vantage point so I'll know how it looks from above? :nuts: Tnx!

Thanks Sky. Adamson is near Alfaro Place in Saldedo Village. I'm not sure if there's indeed a school inside, or is it just named Adamson. Since I'll be moving to Citibank Tower soon, I'll be able to verify this. :)

Nice photos condoeast. Do you work with MW or Empire East/Suntrust? You got a very good morning view of Makati and afternoon view of Ortigas and Mandaluyong.

The tombs of South Cemetery looks very disorganized from up there. Very unsightly. It's a total chaos. I've been inside (taking photos), and it's really creepy. Some old tombs were even destroyed already.

This project is really creating a lot of Buzz. I have received a number of Letters of Intent for Jazz Residences already. SM is now head to head with Alveo projects that are for launch next year, one being the Zuellig Columns. Its no longer ALI vs Megaworld. Its now SM vs ALI. Competition truly drives progress. Great!

South Road properties in cebu is the next destination of SM properties. It is going to be one of the best locations for a next high rise by SM. FLI has also bought a part of this prime location. This will be a great show in terms of constructions rising in the making of a new urban area, considering this is a very raw place and everything is so flat with a very good view of the sea unobstructed for several kilometers.

I'm interested in this project. All other things equal, which units do you think would have better value in the long term, the ones with CBD view or the cemetery view? Do you guys think it would be better to get a higher-floor unit? Thanks a bunch.

It looks like the entire property is unobstructed from all sides. It would be great to get a corner unit here with views from all sides, at least 3 sides, is there anything like that in the floor plans? I would love to see it, i always prefer the higher floors. Ill appreciate any input.

Which view? Don't tell me about the view to the cemetery...it's not only a bad feng shui, it's kind of scary...ohoooooo. Of course the developer cares only for the money so what the heck...just keep building. If my memory is correct 15 years ago that was the site for the main Toyota headquarters but it didn't push through.

Its scary naman yun view sa cemetery :runaway:

If I'm not mistaken, it was mentioned here that the terrace walls were deliberately built high in order to obstruct the view of the Manila South Cemetery.

Nearby buildings have same cemetery view (that is, if you are looking down). If you look straight the horizon, Mandaluyong/Ortigas skyline. Sabi nga ni condoeast, mesmerizing :)

Individual preferences differ, i couldnt care less with a cemetery, people there are dead. Besides, imagine the peaceful days and nights ahead, especially if your unit is within the first 10 floors where you easily hear street noise. I hope the cemetery doesnt get developed soon, i heard its going to be developed by the city after the lease of the grave lots expires sometime soon. Then that part of makati will definitely be another additon to the skyline.

do you already have a floor plan or unit layout for this project? i'm interested. thanks.

I'm working for one of a prominent businessman and woman (a couple)in japan and their condo a 6 bdrm is just adjacent to a cemetery.Just last week my male boss bought a ferrari car
after he and his wife bought a house and lot in hawaii last 2 months for 6miilion USdollars,is that a bad feng sui? Hope you got my point.

I'd be more afraid of the living people than dead people who are resting in peace. Future residents facing the South Cemetery are guaranteed to have unobstructed views for a long, long time.

why a lot of fuzz about the cemetery adjacent to this project? the essensa, pacific towers, fairways tower condominiums etc are next to or face the libingan ng mga bayani and/or the u.s. memorial cemetery, right?

bel-air village IV (across rockwell) was a former cemetery site, but look how progressive the whole area and its adjacent neighborhood like rockwell are now.

feng sheui? who needs it? yes, if you want to scare yourself.

^^ As for me, it's not about bad feng shui. It's about the sight. I'm ok with The American Battle monunent and Heritage Park views. I'd love to wake up in the morning with them in sight. But these two are way way more organized than South Cemetery.

What's the connection? They're rich and the cemetery has got nothing to do with it. A view of the cemetery doesn't bring you bad luck. Who said that? Feng shui? Believe me it's a hoax....

Good point.

Again, it's not about luck or something similar. It's about the view. Believe me, the south cemetery view is not very relaxing. Unless it's a night view.

i agree that it's a hoax!

if you are a christian, be aware that no such thing or even similar to it can be found in the bible.

let's leave feng shui to the chinese (no offense meant here).

i'd be happy to live in the jazz residences.

Exactly my point,there is no connection whatsoever because (its just me),I don't believe in feng...
don't even know the spelling,don't believe in luck,(again just me)_.If God allows me to have a unit here,
I'll be more than happy even if the view is the dazzling cemetery.

any layout or floor plan? i hope you can post it here.

I have two properties in France and Switzerland and in both there's a cemetery nearby. It's normal because most communes in these countries have their own small cemetery. I don't have any problem with that. We walked pass by the cemetery everytime I take my daughter to school and that's just fine. It's good to be reminded as well where we will all eventually end up one day. :skull:

Looks interesting.

To agents who carry this project, pm me details for a studio and one bedroom unit. If there is price difference between similar units depending on view, send me that too, including floor plan and layout. When is the expected delivery date for this by the way?

@Aziza, So there is an exlusive bridgeway from Jazz to Buendia?

Hi Aziza,

Mauuna ba eto kesa s Light Residence?

thanks,

@Aziza, So there is an exlusive bridgeway from Jazz to Buendia?

Hi, leechtat. Yes, may exclusive bridgeway from Jazz to Buendia. Though ang lapit lang nito kung lalakarin. May pedestrian crossing ba sa Buendia? Baka wala, kaya naglagay ang SM ng bridgeway. ACT Tower yata ang landing spot.

Hi Aziza,

Mauuna ba eto kesa s Light Residence?

thanks,

You mean, the turnover? Not sure, jazz4u. But tentatively, Dec2012 ang target turnover ng Jazz T1, and 2013 naman ang Light. It's not official though. We'll know by Nov21 the final details.

wow ang galing naman... ang ganda ha... magkano kaya studio or 1br unit niyan

sa tingin niyo ano mas maganda yung project nila sa boni or sa makati?.... kasi parang mas accessible yung nasa boni dahil sa mrt station

wow ang galing naman... ang ganda ha... magkano kaya studio or 1br unit niyan

My suggestion is you go for their boni project. Why? its accessible via MRT, good location in the middle of metropolis, then mas lower yun real property tax ng mandaluyong compare to Makati :)

Actually, I am inquirying for the construction dates. :)

From the way it looks and base on your tentative turnover dates, I would speculate that Jazz will start first before Light Residence.

Sa Jazz, malinis na yung grnd unlike sa Light Residences parang la pang ginagawa. Bakod pa lang.

btw, thanks for the info, Aziza.

^^Nope, danny. Yung makati/manila skyline ang facing cemetery. Yung side na walang balcony. Units 17-20 will be facing Buendia. Units with balcony are facing the amenities, morning sun pa.

Thank you po Aziza for clarification. saan po ba ang garbage chute/collection area? near the fire exit po ba?
for me, Unit 17 is the best in tower 1. yun unit 17 ( bedrooom po yun facing amenities d ba?) may window po ba facing sa amenities? May pricelist na po ba?
Kelan po kaya may offer ang tower 2?

Unit17 is a 2BR-chamfered type. For sure may windows yan facing amenities. But sana nilipat yung isang balcony sa BR na facing amenities side. (Oh, it's just me!) Dont know exactly where yung garbage room.

But what I like with Jazz Tower1, 21-24 units lang per floor. Tapos, AM sun pa yung units facing amenities.

Nov21 pa pricelist and terms. Wala pa advise when yung next tower.

Hi, condoeast! Update us here (post pics) if you see any movement in the site. Thanks!

parang walang window sa unit 17 facing amenities, wall ata sya.

Thank you po Aziza for clarification. saan po ba ang garbage chute/collection area? near the fire exit po ba?
for me, Unit 17 is the best in tower 1. yun unit 17 ( bedrooom po yun facing amenities d ba?) may window po ba facing sa amenities? May pricelist na po ba?
Kelan po kaya may offer ang tower 2?

^^naging normal na atah sa mga developer ang mag provide ng garbage room
instead of garbage chute area:bash: i hope ang mga Architect/Designer sa Pinas hindi mag agree sa ganitong arrangement ng bldg... pag nakasingil na sila sa design dwg ok na but......sa mga end user(unit owner) conventional style pa rin.:ohno:

^^If you refer sa aerial shot, may interior road. Ima-maintain yan.
That's good to know. And considering the size of the area, I hope they made plans for a jogging path as well.

confirm ko lang, all studio unit ay facing cemetery?

confirm ko lang, all studio unit ay facing cemetery?

hindi po lahat.

^^^^Studio units without balcony are facing cemetery.

Like in Sun, there are options of Bare, Basic and Fully-furnished.

I passed by the area and they are already digging. I just have this thing on the fact that this overlooks a cemetery. Spooky. But at least, you have a pretty quiet neighborhood.

hindi po lahat.

Hi,

what are the studio unit that is not facing the cemetery?

Hi,

what are the studio unit that is not facing the cemetery?


Based po sa floor plan from Aziza ( back read po kayo post #132).
units 1, 2, 3, 21 to24 po ang facing cemetery.

Si Aziza po agent, pm mo na lang sya.

Like in Sun, there are options of Bare, Basic and Fully-furnished.

magkanu price difference neto? ( sa sun, since la pang jazz..)

Hi Madam Aziza. YGQQPM... :)

[QUOTE=Aziza1121;46180213]Hi, leechtat. Yes, may exclusive bridgeway from Jazz to Buendia. Though ang lapit lang nito kung lalakarin. May pedestrian crossing ba sa Buendia? Baka wala, kaya naglagay ang SM ng bridgeway. ACT Tower yata ang landing spot.

Hi, there is a pedestrian crossing in that intersection at Yupangco Bldg side if I remember correctly. So even without the bridgeway, Salcedo Village is very accesible. In addition, the area is very "walkable".

wow ang galing naman... ang ganda ha... magkano kaya studio or 1br unit niyan

sa tingin niyo ano mas maganda yung project nila sa boni or sa makati?.... kasi parang mas accessible yung nasa boni dahil sa mrt station

It really depends on your objective for buying. If you are an End User, and work outside Makati, then Boni is better because of its accessibility thru MRT. If you work in Makati (especially in the Salcedo Village area), I think Jazz would be better because of the walkability aspect. Plus commuting is easy thru Buendia and taxi fares/gas expense wont be as high going to work.

If you are an Investor, just my opinion, Makati is better. The size of the rental market in Makati is just so huge. Makati population in the evening is 500K people, in daytime it is 1M people. 500K -That's a lot of people who COULD potentially rent.

Also, there is not a lot of middle market condos in Makati to satisfy demand right now for working professionals mainly just Cityland developments. There will be more in 2011-2012 (Malugay developments and Chino Roces developments) but I believe that Jazz would still be better located and would have a unique concept/product combination - fully furnished, resort type development, affordable price per sqm, flexi payment scheme, etc.

would like to get opinion from you.... lets say you decided to buy a unit in Jazz residences, which unit will you choose. I ask you this question cos i want to compare your choice from my choice since im also looking to buy a unit here. pls give me your choice for 1BR and 2BR and combined units.

thanks in advanced.

Here's another angle:
got this from my facebook, one of my friends being tagged...

http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs114.snc3/16161_1079232919493_1786401012_171529_610292_n.jpg

for those buyers who are more concern of "no obstructions" from their unit's window or balcony, facing the cemetery is a wiser alternative. i don't think that having a unit at the higher floors will keep you busy worrying on the cemetery meters down from your unit unless if you are the type of person who worries what's under/beneath you than what's above or infront of you.

it would have been a different story if you have a two-storey house right beside a cemetery. that would be eerie for me.

Release of final and complete Jazz and Light Residences' details was resked to Nov23, Monday. May "final touches" pa in the making. Thank you for your patience. If interested, you can PM me for your LOI form to prioritize reservation of your preferred unit. Thanks!

ano po ba sa kabilang side ng tower 1 ( yun facing sa amenities/east ), may mataas ba na building.... not familiar with makati kasi eh...

Cool photos! Thanks for sharing condoeast. I can almost see our apartment bldg. from your last photo. :)

Thanks po sa picture.

ano po ba sa kabilang site ng tower 1 ( yun facing sa amenities/east ), may mataas ba na building.... not familiar with makati kasi eh...

Pag titignan mo yung photo ni Condoeast, kung san kinuha yung photo (The World Centre), yun na yung pinakamalapit na high rise tower (less than 30F). Merong mga lowrise sa paligid like yung bldg sa lower right.

Since zoning restrictions made the structures along Buendia to be lowrise, you will have a very good view of Makati from Jazz. But rezoning along Buendia and Jupiter had been implemented recently, kaya nagsulputan ang mga high rise projects.

Pero kagaya ng nasabi na ng iba, you will have an unobstucted views on the cemetery side because there's no concrete plan yet for that part of the city. The other two sides are both residential area. As for Buendia side, there is also no immediate plan to replace the old lowrise buildings.

Thank you po Ph Man.

:) Wala pong anuman.

Baka lalakarin ko na lang pauwi galing sa trabaho pag nasimulan na ang Jazz. Di na gaanong madilim sa part na yan ng Reposo.

i heard wala na daw bare unit dito sa jazz?

would like to get opinion from you.... lets say you decided to buy a unit in Jazz residences, which unit will you choose. I ask you this question cos i want to compare your choice from my choice since im also looking to buy a unit here. pls give me your choice for 1BR and 2BR and combined units.

thanks in advanced.

We actually submitted our own reservation in jazz already to our coordinator for prioritization when official booking starts.

Here's our game plan:

Since we are just Investors, we have 2 strategy options:

1) Get the smallest unit cut that cost the least so we could bring the rent down eventually to the lowest level and become a "price leader" in the rental market. Renters in the middle market kasi I feel are more price sensitive, than anything else. For this the best unit maybe the lone studio unit facing amenities without a balcony, Unit 10. However they are saying unit 10 may be on hold for selling until after the price increase (sana hindi) thus the only choice would be the studio units facing at the back.

2) The next option is to get a 1BR facing Makati. Payments may be higher and therefore rent should be a bit higher, But at least you dont lose renters who may have an aversion to the cemetery view. Ang drawback lang is that ang rent for a studio and rent for 1BR would not be that far apart to justify the significant increase in price.

We're still feeling our way through while di pa lumalabas ang official pricelist. It should come out by Monday.

thanks in advanced.

I think 2BRs are particularly more useful for end users.

But if I'm an investor and I need to choose a 2BR to invest in, I would choose the VAT free 2BR. It maybe small, but the rent of a small 2BR will not be more than double the rent of a big 2BR (corner unit 17), but their prices are more than double - from 2.5M to 5.8M (including VAT). Therefore as an investor, I would be better off buying 2 small 2BRs and renting them separately than renting the corner 2BR. So I would choose the small 2BRs facing ammenities.

The corner 2 BR would be nice if you are going to live there and you would want to benchmark against the typical Makati Developments.

great pictures condo east. South Cemetery view is not at all that bad because of all the trees around.

I agree with you. im also thinking of that. combined 2 1 bedroom unit para walang VAT. so ang option is unit 9,10,11 kung facing amenities.

Thanks po sa opinion.

Correct me if Im wrong, but I think units facing the amenities will also enjoy Fort Bonifacio skyline; plus the AM sun, of course.

Hi Aziza, is this just for Tower 1 (A) or for the whole project? Tnx a lot.

:) Wala pong anuman.

Baka lalakarin ko na lang pauwi galing sa trabaho pag nasimulan na ang Jazz. Di na gaanong madilim sa part na yan ng Reposo.

Salamat din Ph Man for your inputs. Dagdag tanong lang, yung bang Nicanor Garcia at Reposo ay iisa lang? Safe lang bang maglakad dyan papunta sa St. Andrew's church?

^^ Iisa lang. Reposo = Nicanor Garcia St. Malapit lang ang St. Andrew church sa Jazz. Baka 2 minute walk lang. Palagay ko safe naman maglakad dun hanggang mga 8 pm. Pero paglampas nun, halos wala na katao tao diyan, at wala na rin halos dumadaan na mga sasakyan. Eh andaming puno. Kaya di na ako dun dumadaan pag gabing gabi na. Pero pag natapos na ang Jazz, magkakabuhay na yan sa gabi. At safe na siya lakaran anytime. :) Sana lang huwag magkabuhol buhol ang trapik.

Oo nga pala, merong Starbucks diyan sa building kung nasan yung Yamaha. Katapat lang ng Mapua. Tapos me bagong tayong hospital din across Jazz. Mamention na ata dati. Walking distance ang OsMak. Actually pati papuntang City Hall pwede na ring lakarin.

isa pa kagandahan dito di maingay masyado kasi moderate lang ang traffic dito...... i saw din the sta. ana racing track.... buo metro manila kita dito... from makati to manila to qc to pasig to rizal to taguig to san juan and everything ... and by the way kita din dito ang mezza medyo malayo nga lang. pero tanaw mo mas maganda din yun sa kabila facing manila........... hay swerte ng SMDC maganda yun nakuha nila location...

is it worth waiting po ba? ano po ba advantage ng tower 2 sa tower 1 not facing the south cemetry?

Salamat din Ph Man for your inputs. Dagdag tanong lang, yung bang Nicanor Garcia at Reposo ay iisa lang? Safe lang bang maglakad dyan papunta sa St. Andrew's church?

I think safe nman dyan, d rin nwawalan ng taong naglalakad dyan kc me pldt call center dyan - Parlance kya mayat-mya me naglalakad.

Jeepneys along buendia are 24 hours.

I know this kasi sinusundo ko dyan dati yng GF ko nun dyan pa sya work.

May bagong project ang Alveo, mas malawak. katabi lang ng Alphaland.

is it worth waiting po ba? ano po ba advantage ng tower 2 sa tower 1 not facing the south cemetry?

Well para sa akin wala naman. I'm just waiting for the delivery of Sea Residences before making another purchase. Hindi naman kasi ganon kalalim ang bulsa ko eh di tulad ng mga iba dito. :cry: If view is your priority, I think that tower 1 facing Amenities/Makati is the best option.

May bagong project ang Alveo, mas malawak. katabi lang ng Alphaland.

Yes it would be very interesting to see how they compare. The more choices the better it is for buyers.

Thank you po sa pagsagot sa marami kong tanong. Hindi kasi ako familiar sa makati at tagal ko na rin nasa ibang bansa.

Tnx jazz4u. How about dyan sa Salcedo Village, ano ba mga POIs dyan? Meron ba mga bars, restos, activities clubs, galleries, etc.?

Yes it would be very interesting to see how they compare. The more choices the better it is for buyers.

But what I mean is...all of these projects will complement each other to liven up that part of Makati.

is it worth waiting po ba? ano po ba advantage ng tower 2 sa tower 1 not facing the south cemetry?

I think tower 1 is the best tower, kasi:

1. It has the best views of the Makati Skyline
2. There are lesser units compared to tower 2 and 4
3. It is the closest to Buendia and hence a shorter walk to it (a very short walk)
4. And the most important is: Tower 1 will have the best price, Price will surely increase in future towers.

Correct me if Im wrong, but I think units facing the amenities will also enjoy Fort Bonifacio skyline; plus the AM sun, of course.

I think you are correct Aziza based on Google Earth. At least half of BGC, the half nearer the Essensa Towers. Half would be blocked by tower 2, the half nearer St. Lukes.

I just cant estimate what the effect of some Salcedo Buildings will be on view blockage going to BGC. I reckon some tall buildings in Buendia could get in the way such as Petron Tower and Pacific Star. They are in the direct line of sight going to BGC. But it will probably just partially obstruct the view.

I think tower 1 is the best tower, kasi:

1. It has the best views of the Makati Skyline
2. There are lesser units compared to tower 2 and 4
3. It is the closest to Buendia and hence a shorter walk to it (a very short walk)
4. And the most important is: Tower 1 will have the best price, Price will surely increase in future towers.

pareho tayo ng iniisip.
ok na po kaya ang view kung sa 20 floor pataas ang unit sa tower 1 facing amenities
Thanks in advance.

Jazz Residences will be the last hi-rise project in Bel-Air Village.


If Bel-Air residents approve the rezoning of the village for high-density development, I don't think this will be the case. The vote is scheduled for next month.

Will the voting cover all of Bel-Air or just a portion of it?

^^ I'm not sure. I read it in the Village Voice a few months back, and I don't remember the details. If only a portion will be rezoned, I'm likely to presume it will only cover the part of Bel-Air west of Makati Avenue.

Great! Thanks JP.
So those units with balcony are the ones facing South Cemetery? So that's the way to block the cemetery view? That's ingenious! :D
What about the unit price?

^^
http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/5269/fplanwm.jpg

Those without balconies (Manila/Makati Skyline) are the ones facing the "Peace Garden". Tataasan ang window sills, but Im not sure up to what floor mataas ang windowsills.

Approximate PhP1,520,000 for a fully-furnished, 20sqm studio unit. Deduct more or less 120k for a Basic unit.

^^Yes, LOI and 25k reservation check. Dec18 pa due ang reservation mo, but nag-gain ka na bec of Dec4 price increase.

Aziza, pls help to send me the price list for the L-shape 1 bedroom ( around 30 sqm). Thanks!

Aziza, if a basic studio unit is combined with a basic 2-bedroom unit, what is the estimated price?

I think I can now imagine how the units are oriented with respect to the 'peace garden' as you call it. Thanks a lot Aziza.

OT: It's my first time to see the word 'chamfered' used in condominiums.

A chamfer is a beveled edge connecting two surfaces. If the surfaces are at right angles, the chamfer will typically be symmetrical at 45 degrees. A fillet is the rounding off of an interior corner. A rounding of an exterior corner is called a "round"[1] or a "radius".

"Chamfer" is a term commonly used in industrial engineering. Special tools such as chamfer mills and chamfer planes are available. In tile work, or furniture such as counters or table tops, an edge or arris that has been eased by rounding instead of chamfering is called a bullnose. Where a chamfer does not go to the end of the piece, but "lifts out" in a smooth curve, the end is called a lark's tongue.

An example of chamfering is part of the process of hand-crafting a parabolic glass telescope mirror. Before the surface of the disc can be ground, the edges must first be chamfered to prevent chipping. This can be accomplished by placing the disc in a metal bowl containing Silicon carbide and rotating the disc with a rocking motion. The grit will thus wear off the sharp edge of the glass.

In the realm of architecture, the base of the Taj Mahal mausoleum in Agra, India is a cube with chamfered corners, thereby creating an octagonal architectural footprint.

Hi, Aziza, what is the estimated price for Combined Units 21 & 22 which faces the cemetery?

Hi, Aziza, what is the estimated price for Combined Units 21 & 22 which faces the cemetery?

Hi, stevemcqueen. As of this time, wala pa official pricelist naka-out. But since it's a 20sqm FF studio, I presume it's PhP1,520,000. Just double the price, more or less. But it's NonVAt, 2 individual titles kc.

Thanks, Aziza.

What is the cut-off for VAT exemption?

What is the cut-off for VAT exemption?

2.5 million po ata...

^^ Properties with Total Contract Price below 2.5M is the cut-off of VAT exemption.

Choose TOP 6 units as per latest advise. Choose directly from the floor plan and what floor and what unit number exactly.

I passed my LOI sets today. And only for the broker's Network - the queue for Jazz Residences is already at 148 LOI's by Lunch yesterday.

After submitting an LOI with check, here is what you need to do:

1. Choose at least 6 unit preferences, noting the exact floor and unit number.
2. Kindly provide 2 Gov't Issued ID's (i.e. Passport and Driver's License).
3. Make sure that your Sellers register you for the event on Thursday @ SMX.

Haven't seen this place get flooded even during heavy downpour.

@PhMan... kukuha ka na ba dito?

this project looks great!

@PhMan... kukuha ka na ba dito?

good to hear na hindi bumabaha.
ilan na kayo kukuha dito?

Just to give you an idea: If a 2BR NonVat unit starts at PhP2,499,000, the monthly amortization is PhP13,952.47. Payment scheme used was DP 20% payable in 36months/80% bank financing.

I've been renting a small place near this project for 9 years now so I know the advantages of living in this part of Makati. I love this location. As I don't have a car, I appreciate it's accessibility to public transport and it's proximity to Salcedo Village-without the high price tag. I just made a reservation for a 2-bedroom unit.

Nde po bahain dito, and i have the official pricelist already. please pm me for your prefered unit so i can give you the quotation.

for units facing buendia, what's the building along buendia na makikita dito? how tall?

Just got back from the SMDC project launching. It was a success! Lots of food, music was echoing all over the place, disco lights dazzles to liven up the place, VIPs, investors and agents swarming over the scale models, couples dancing on the tune of swing music, etc. Calculators, pens and checks sway here and there, indicating closed deals...man it was crazy! Kudos to SMDC, specially for Jazz Residences that sell like hotcakes! :banana::cheers:

...by the way, nice meeting you, the great Ms. Azziza!

no pics of the scale models?

no pics of the scale models?

Cellphone camera lang dala ko kanina eh. Not so good for indoor use. Let's wait for the other forumers to attach some pics.

this is a nice project although the design is quite mediocre, just like almost all SM projects.

But the worse thing about this project would be the traffic condition since the streets are too narrow for this large scale residential project.

for units facing buendia, what's the building along buendia na makikita dito? how tall?

From Left to right...you can see Pacific Star, Salcedo Place, Petron Megaplaza, Grand Soho, The World Centre, Trident, RCBC, among others. The closest skyscraper will be The World Centre (less than 30F). There is Buendia St, Mapua and Metropolitan St in between. In other words you will have a very good view of Makati Skyline. That's why I prefer the units on this side.

may price list na? aling unit ang mabenta?

From what I could gather from tonight's launch, out of the 800 units for sale only 100 units remain in the inventory. However, as I was leaving, I noticed the reservation area was packed with agents and buyers trying to catch the last of the remaining units. It appears that the event was a huge success for Jazz Residences.

...by the way, nice meeting you, the great Ms. Azziza!

Wow, ang bilis mo mag-post, foxyface. Nice meeting you, too. I hope we can get your preferred unit.

may price list na? aling unit ang mabenta?

Lahat mabenta, except for Unit03. May floors pa na open ang Unit03. Do you have a preferred unit, danny?

Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdez was the hostess for the event. Of course, guest si Marian Rivera.

SMDC launches 4 more condominium projects (http://www.manilatimes.net/index.php/business/7150-smdc-launches-4-more-condominium-projects)
Friday, 04 December 2009 00:00
Manila Standard (http://www.manilatimes.net/index.php/business/7150-smdc-launches-4-more-condominium-projects)

THE residential property unit of the SM group has launched on Thursday four residential condominium projects in Metro Manila and Tagaytay City. In a statement, SM Development Corp. (SMDC) said the company would develop Jazz Residences near Jupiter Road in Makati City, Sun Residences right beside the Welcome Rotunda, the Light Residences near Pioneer Street in Mandaluyong and the Wind Residences in Tagay-tay City next year.

These projects will be under the SM Residences segment.

“Our four new offerings affirm SMDC’s vision of becoming one of the leading residential developers in the country,” Roger Cabuñag, SMDC president said.

“We will end this year with a menu of 12 different offerings for our clients who may choose their homes from the best locations in the metropolis, plus a special offering in scenic Tagaytay,” Cabuñag added.

According to SMDC, Jazz Residences will rise within the 25,000-square-meter property along Metropolitan Avenue, which interconnects with Jupiter Road near the central business district of Makati City. The project will consist of four towers above a five-story podium, which will be constructed in four phases.
Each 41-story tower will have an estimated 1,228 one- and two-bedroom units.

Sun Residences will be built along España Boulevard in Quezon City on a 11,832-square-meter land. The two 43-story towers will rise on the property, with each tower housing 1,992 units.

The third new project is the three-tower Light Residences that is located at the corner of EDSA and Madison Street in Mandaluyong City.

The only offering outside of Metro Manila is Wind Residences, which will be built along Emilio Aguinaldo Highway on a 15.45-hectare of land. The project will have ten 20-story towers rising in several phases over the medium term. Each tower will offer approximately 702 units for sale.

SMDC’s other ongoing projects include Chateau Elysee in Paraña-que City, Mezza Residences across SM City Sta. Mesa, the Berkeley Residences along Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City, the Grass Residences beside SM City North EDSA, the Field Residences in Parañaque City, the Sea Residences near the Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City, and the residential subdivision Lindenwood Residences in Muntinlupa City.

Ms. Aziza, can you please direct me to where Hamilo Coast in Makati is? I'm interested in seeing the model units up close.
