SMDC eyes Mezza-type
residences in Sucat, MOA

SM Development Corp. is replicating its Mezza-type development in two new projects the company is looking to develop towards the latter part of the year.
Rogelio Cabunag, president of SMDC, said SMDC will build Field and Sea Residences, both mid-rise residential condominium projects that will highlight the projects’ proximity to the public common convergence point – SM malls.
SMDC earlier announced that it has allocated P3 billion as capital expenditures for the year for its list of projects, which include two others in Tagaytay and Baguio, the launching of which are still being planned.
Field Residences is a seven-hectare development beside SM Sucat mall and will be composed of six clusters of 15-storey condo units with combined available units of 1,700.
Meanwhile, Sea Residences will be a six-cluster project to be constructed in the vicinity of SM Mall of Asia with total available units of 2,600. The Sea Residences will be developed in three phases, with the first phase slated for completion by 2010.
SMDC plans to develop their projects around its chain of SM malls around the country, leveraging on the Filipinos’ habit of going to malls to pass time.
SMDC’s maiden offering of such concept was the Mezza Residences located in front of SM Sta. Mesa mall.
Mezza is a 2,420 unit, four 38-storey towers connected by a retail podium.
Sales for the residences, by end of 2007, have reached P1.6 billion.
Meanwhile, SMDC said it is looking to generate P2.3 billion from its Berkeley Residences project along Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City.
Launched late last year, Berkeley Residences is a 35-storey condominium that is marketed primarily for families with students studying at schools located in the Katipunan area – Ateneo de Manila University, Miriam College and the University of the Philippines.
Berkeley offers a total of 1,063 studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units sold between P1.5 million and P3.5 million.
The P1.36-billion project has been 53-percent sold since November, according to Cabuñag, with turnover set for December 2010.











This is where it will rise, northbound of EDSA Extension. Across the SM offices. Site is already fenced.

^awesome :)

ganda naman

Love this! :banana:

Wow, that is... very boxy. Very SM. Looks like an office complex.

that's my thought too. very office-ish. it doesn't have that homey-ish feeling. hope they can still revise it to make it more warm and homey.

it looks interesting actually, i like it....although the windows bordering the balconies kinda looks similar to the Los Angeles jail towers....i still like it though....also the other residences (the 2nd photo), it looks very similar to serendera (or is it really serendera?)

anywho i like it......

how come i dont like it? :lol:

how come i dont like it? :lol:

Gaganda na lang yan, pagtapos na. :lol:

Meron pa palang Wind Residences at Air Residences, although wala pang location for these 2 projects.

yikes yan na ba iyung render katakot parang preso

ano ba iyan di na uso ang brutalist kahit ang original commie blocks sa Russia mas maganda pa yata diyan

naku nagtitipid nanaman si tatang!

They should make Earth Residences, Fire Residences, Wind Residences, Water Residences, and Heart Residences. Then put them together to call Captain Planet.

i think this is designed for MMDA GWAPOTEL! :rofl:

With all the developments around, this condo is designed to appreciate. Guaranteed, regardless of how it looks! :)

its a perfect fit for the surroundings.. classical cube design but the top looks dull imo..

i wonder how will this be priced?

^^ Parang BPO Building ah.... :D eheheheh

I totally agree....:okay:

Typical... boxy.
No surprise

it looks like a glorified tenement. sana palitan nila ang design.

nyak! whatta design? for the MOA Complex to become world class, it has to have high-rise condos and office buildings.

For me naman its quite nice naman simple and beautiful yun nga lang hindi siya totally iconic but its nice additional for the SM Bay Central and compliment to other development. The design will surely last forever. IMHO

^Maganda naman ang design ah. :)

for me its not beautiful. hope they change the design

just plain boring.

when is the contruction will be started? and when it will be finished? i recommend change the design to an iconic view sayang naman at malapit pa naman duon sa Globe ng MOA mas mganda mala Glass Building ung design na weird talaga parang traingular or hexagon shape para sa unang tingin maging kaya-aya sa paningin ng mga tao.. i dont mean na panget ung design ahh, redesign para appropriate naman dun sa name ng building thx...

or take out the wind and heart part and call all the Earth, Fire, Air and Water residences as AVATAR RESIDENCES

Pwede rin! Wah! :lol: :lol:

please pm me here if someone here knows of the best payment scheme for both 1 and 2 br units. my cousin is interested. thanks.

this building is ugly, like a prison cell to me. a better than this design would do a little justice to the location

sobra ka naman. prison cell? :ohno:

my friends are selling this as well.. sobrang mura kaya these units are selling like popcorn..

but i must agree, its a bit office-ish, i hope the amenity areas compensate for those very boxy exterior... some sections may also have some awesome view of the bay.

sobra ka naman. prison cell? :ohno:

sorry i'm just being honest to myself... when i look at the design that comes to mind:cheers:

i am just wishing they design somethin better for this location

my friends are selling this as well.. sobrang mura kaya these units are selling like popcorn..

but i must agree, its a bit office-ish, i hope the amenity areas compensate for those very boxy exterior... some sections may also have some awesome view of the bay.

hey, can you ask your friend about the prices and the payment schemes, (for both 1 and 2br). thanks!

guys baka may atrium yan!

^^ Prime location is the best selling point of this development. Personally, I like its simple design. The relatively "cheap" price is a bonus. :)

Peeps, I've inquired on this last weekend and would like to share with you some additional details.

By the way, this project is a bit pricey because of its superb location. Here are the prices quoted to me.

1BR = 24 sqm w/ 4.5 sqm balcony = 2,364,075++
2BR = 43.5 sqm w/ 4.5 sqm balcony = 4,522,566.72++

Kulang na lang lagyan nila ng SM logo na malaki sa gitna't mukhang mall na talaga nila. Haha! :lol:

SM unit sees partial finish of Pasay project in 2010

By Miguel R. Camus
BusinessMirror
June 19, 2008

SM Development Corp. (SMDC), the middle-income property unit of the SM Group, is expecting the completion of the first phase of their residential condominium project Sea Residences in 2010.

The P3-billion project consists of six 15-story towers housing a total of 2,580 units and spanning a 1.8-hectare property along Diokno Boulevard at the Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay City.

“We expect this area to be very busy given our proximity to the Mall of Asia and the upcoming Pagcor [Philippine Amusement ang Gaming Corp.] development,” said Rogelio Cabuñag, president of SMDC, in a press briefing during the groundbreaking ceremony held Wednesday.

He said the company is targeting a “younger crowd” as well as small families in the middle-income category. Unit prices for the condominiums start at P2 million for a one-bedroom unit with a balcony.

He said the first phase will see the completion of towers A and B as well as the podium, ground floor and most of the amenities. By 2011, about 1,000 units—or 39 percent of the total—will be available.

During the same event, Adelaida Cobres, assistant vice president and project director of Sea Residences, said SMDC expects to sell about 30 percent of Phase 1 to generate about P800 million. “The development of the succeeding phases will depend on how well we do in the first phase,” she said.

Cabuñag said they were still unable to start selling activities as they are still waiting for their license to sell from the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board. The company expects the license to be issued next month.

Even with reports of a slowdown in the real-estate market, Cabuñag expressed confidence that Sea Residences will do well.

“We’re very optimistic given the success of our other projects, and in the case of Sea Residences, we have the best location,” he said adding that while other developers have experienced this slowdown, he doesn’t believe it will affect the Sea Residences project.

He pointed out that the SM Group has a practice of starting construction projects immediately, allowing them to be insulated from sudden price increases of construction materials.

When completed the Sea Residences will be the seventh project of SMDC in the metropolis, following Field Residences, Lindenwood Residences, Chateau Elysee, Mezza Residences, Berkeley Residences and Grass Residences.

SMDC is a publicly listed company that is 59.4-percent owned by SM Investments Corp. and is chaired by retail magnate Henry Sy Sr.

Wow it's not cheap and for me it's not nice looking.

Looks very much like Net Plaza which is an architecturally challenged building in terms of aesthetics. They will make a lot of money kasi mura to build but in the future when people boat around that area they will ask what the name of those commie housing blocks or industrial flats are.

SM Development allots P3B for condo at mall

Sea Residences is the company’s sixth residential project in Metro Manila and the first in the Mall of Asia complex, company president Rogelio Cabuñag said.

It will rise on a 1.8-hectare lot along Diokno Boulevard. It will have six 15-story towers with a total of 2,580 units, he said.

SM Development assistant vice president Adelaida Cobres said the company expected sales to reach P800 million this year from the first of three phases of the project.

Up for completion by 2011, the first phase represents 30 percent of about 1,100 units available in Towers A and B and podium level areas. Average price per square meter at Sea Residences is P83,000. Edited by INQUIRER.net

In one word.....PANGIT :down:

Why not design it like typical buildings along seashores? Just like in Miami, or whatever.

Kulang na lang lagyan nila ng SM logo na malaki sa gitna't mukhang mall na talaga nila. Haha! :lol:

Look closely....may SM logo sa rendering.

yeah, i was to say that. make it bigger and mukha na siyang SM Mall. sana man lang ma compensate ng amenities ang design.

and looking at the price - it's NOT cheap. it actually is comparable with Makati Condos, or even more expensive.

IT LOOKS CHEAP BUT ITS NOT CHEAP.

KAHIT JAO BUILDERS KAYANG GAWIN ANG BUILDING NA ITO.

Nag ground break na pala ito nung June 18, 2008.

wow, ang bilis mag-groundbreaking ng smic for this new project.. wala pa ata itong license to sell a.. will confirm...

In one word.....PANGIT :down:
in all fairness your view may be correct but SM have never pretended to be anything but efficient and pragmatic...they are providing necessary housing in a confined space with proximity to the working areas of Manila so that the owners/tenants do not need to commute for 5 hours per day.

it would be more relevant to make such judgements about places like BGC/Libis where the issues involve lifestyle of wants and not needs...definitely the architecture of BGC is somewhat bland for some condos

Agree!:cheers: Atleast may Project sa SM bay City!

Model units of Sea Residences will be ready around 2nd week of August construction starts september!

visit my site http://Smbaycity.googlepages.com

SEA will be the only nearest Residential community to Mall of Asia. I think it will take you only 5 minutes to walk from the site to mall and vice versa

a coliseum will be built here too! the "SM Arena". it will be better than araneta coliseum. at last there will be an alternative coliseum! Salamat naman may magtatayo na ng bagong coliseum!

another info for the MOA complex! if im not wrong the complex will be 80% commercial area. which makes the residential community very prime!

^^ hi marv... hehe.. check you pm.

the point is, this one is cool still.. imagine.. the whole complex is finish beside pagcor, few blocks away is new port city then fort, on the left is makati and greenbelt,robinson center in boni, ortigas,eastwood, manhattan, eton city,etc. and all of then are all done.. and aswell the BRT and trains. look at the phil brothers.. future looks nice.. :)

IMO this project is pangit pangit pangit.
kasing pangit sya ng mall of asia kaya dapat lang na magkatabi sila. a home for the middle class with money but poor taste.

^^ haha!

ganun naman siguro target market ng SM di ba?

IMO, halos magka-level lang sila ng mga projects ng robinsons sa pioneer.

Are you trying to suggest that the Manila Bay area does not deserve good architecturally designed buildings? I believe anyone investing that kind of money at Sea Residences also deserve a well designed building.

Sorry guys for being blunt once again, but doesn't the design look like the call center buildings which are right next to the Mall of Asia?

Truly uninspiring design to the Filipino culture and it looks like its one of those low cost buildings for people wanting a quick condo.

Other than that I think the design is meant to be like this because it is in harmony with the other designs nearby i.e. like a village that has similar houses, in this case, the construction of this design reflects the architecture of the surrounding area.

Plus, they all seem to be focusing on many of the flats having a sea-facing view...but truly, the design did not tickle my bones.

:badnews:

Ugly, boring and expensive for what you get. 4.5 million for a 43 sqm condo?! Get much more for your money elsewhere.

Yes it's really kinda Boxy. but the thing is SM is offering a chance for OFW's to own a home with their flexible schemes. and yet Sea Residences offers a lot of potential in terms of property value. because there will be a lot more development in the complex. So at least middle income earners can now have a chance owning a residential property at a master planned area. and on the price side.. well actually its very competitive. compare it to other its not that far and is almost the same. Well there condo's out there that are really very affordable but what do you get? low quality... bad maintenance. does the property value appreciate? at least here you get value. your just 5 minutes walk away from one of the tourist spots in the Philippines.

Guys! Launching of this project will be on August 15, 2008.

There's a big chance prices will increase. Everyone is Invited!

I think to solve the problem of boring and boxy look of this building, the plain blue wall must be repainted into abstract featured wall like one done in Germany, but the only different they are using, aluminum cladding panels, for long lasting effect. If they transformed this facades with vibrant colours like yellow, red, blue, mint green and pushia, with grey or off white base colours, I think the perception will change and a good impact to their marketing. Or if they put the earth tone colours, is another options..

Looks like a high-rise prison.

Sorry, I'm usually the one to defend any sort of development of this size, but I just feel depressed looking at it.

hehe lupit nitong forum, everyone is critic kahit walang planong bumili hehe of course we have to look at it.

someone should tell SMDC about the comments here para they can change the color scheme man lang haha

actually i heard that this is selling extremely well which just means that there really may be no such thing as bad taste:nuts::lol:

i can say it is good, but not that good compare to other buildings being constructed in the metro. the good about this building is that it complement with its neighboring establishment.

but hopefully, they will change the rendering.

actually i heard that this is selling extremely well which just means that there really may be no such thing as bad taste:nuts::lol:

^^ so true.. heard the same thing..

reminds me so much of the north korean commies

That's really unfair to prisons.

4M for a 40sqm flat? waaaah! so expensive, you can get a luxury condo at the fort for that.

I hope this project will really be worth that much, regardless of the renderings.

Oh well, thank you na rin sa update. :D

wala ba silang balak palitan ang design? para kasing preso.

nice one!

In my opinion, it's really a very simple condo but it would be better to have these than none at all.

its looks nice but not worth the price. there are many projects being built that has better design,pricing and location.
i repaint lang yung mass housing project ni Marcos mukhang mas maganda pa yun kesa dito.

nakakaiyak ang design:cry:

nice one marvs, ganda ng pagkagawa ng rendering.. ilang percent sold ang sea residences?

Well from my own estimate and the availability i have Bldg. A is 80% with LOI's.

so this is not selling yet? LOI palang?

Yes. LOI's pa lang. we havent advertise in newspaper or in any media yet. project is still very fresh and new

ah, LOI palang pala ito? i guess bcoz there's no license to sell yet. so no increased in price pa rin?

also, this part of MOA is also reclaimed right? so there's a big possibility of sinking just like most buildings built in reclaimed lots here in the Philippines and most part of the world. am i right to assume that?

could it be the reason only a mid-rise construction were thought to be put-up here? but being mid-rise, no chance to appear to be like an iconic one for the area.

I haven't done research but I know there is a twin tower raised somewhere near buendia (which happens to be the concert venue of michael jackson in 1997) and I think it was a high-rise one. what about hi-rises built over reclaimed area, will it be really safe come a catastrophe?

I appreciate this inside-rendering. but majority are saying it looks like a prison facility... it's so sad. kaya bawal dapat mag-orange yung mga residente rito... :lol:

Last weekend, Sat. 06 Sept., my family & I checked out the newly-opened SM City Marikina and we happen to see the booth for Sea Residences. First thing I appreciated is the location. So I got the curiosity to inquire (as I am currently looking at another real estate venture). I asked for a quotation for an 8th flr 24sqm - bay view and 9th flr 24sqm+4.5 balcony - amenity view. there's a big difference on the price for the bay view. Actually, mas mataas pa ung binigay na price for bay view!

In summary, I'd still prefer a change in it's structural design or kahit daanin nlang sa pintura huwag lang mag-mukhang boxy. Emphasized kasi maysado yung balconies ng blue tone. Tanggalin din yung SM logo sa taas ng Blg. A at B, ilagay nalang somewhere the podium area gaya ng sa Mezza. Lastly, babaan muna sana ng konti yung price or offer a discount.

saw the construction plans... underway na kasi yung bidding for construction cguro start tong project by october. Almost 1.5 ha ang lot with parking basement..

ah, LOI palang pala ito? i guess bcoz there's no license to sell yet. so no increased in price pa rin?

also, this part of MOA is also reclaimed right? so there's a big possibility of sinking just like most buildings built in reclaimed lots here in the Philippines and most part of the world. am i right to assume that?

Well its has been really a rumor ever since. that a reclaimed area would possibly sink. But Roxas Blvd. and Part of Malate areas are reclaimed too. Hongkong, Dubai have been practicing this. I could not really explained how it will not sink. Any Engr here can explained how to reclaimed an area?

Lets put it this way, will SM invest millions or billions in bay city if he knew it would sink? Will foreign or local investors invest $100 billion for the PAGCOR entertainment city if it will sink? :)

Haha I have to admit the building design is really Boxy and so simple. Me myself dont know why too. But the important thing is the location, location, location. Yes there's a really big difference on the bay view. but even if you choose the bay view. there are no more to offer. But majority of the buyers here got the bay view units at a lower price. from my own estimate 90% reserved the units at lower price before it was that high.

regarding to reclaim land di ba dapat lumubog na rin ang US Embassy and Quirino Grandsatnd dahil reclaim din ito and take note it was build almost 50yrs. ago? kung saan di pa ganung ka advance technology?

For me okey lang siya look at the Mezza maganda ang kinalabasan ng project nila im pretty sure magiging maganda ang out come ng project na ito

need kasi soil compaction... watch kyu sa discovery channel regardng the construction of the Palms.. they used cranes with vibrating shafts drilled to the ground as soil compaction. or to compress the soil .. sa pilipinas kasi ..asa na lang sa time for the soil to settle. hehe para tipid.

^^ i know they compacted the soil too.. but allowing normal settlement of the debris/soil/sand in time is also a reliable process..

very well said marv. no investor in his right mind will invest here without looking at the soil testing results first...

License to Sell is out! Last December 18,2008!

oh, so SM will only start selling it by now?

balita ko lahat ng units fronting manila bay eh sold na lahat...

^^ hwatt? sa panget ng mga buildings nila na sold-out lahat agad yung front ng manila bay.

Pangit lang sa ngayon ang rendering nila,but I'm sure it will turn out great when its finished gaya ng Mezza.SM exceeds what they endorsed to clients.

^^ siguro nga.. but i am betting many buyers invest here due to its most promising location.. if everything will be in order, and all developments for the bay area shall be realized, then this area will be very prime.

hwatt? sa panget ng mga buildings nila na sold-out lahat agad yung front ng manila bay.


dahil siguro sa location. imagine niyo pag natayo yung pagcor entertainment city at mga future expansions ng SMC pati na rin yung WesMa accessible ka na sa lahat:)

yeah.. that area is very prime in the next 10-20 years with all the developments planned on site...

iba-iba naman tayo ng basis from buying, sa ganda ng location nito, panalong-panalo bibili dito. disregard na yung aesthetic ng building.. basta ba makapasyal ka sa pagcor city tapos lalakarin mo na lang pauwi.:banana:

SM na SM. puro painted hollow blocks with no landscape at all. tingnan mo nalang itsura na MOA. this mass housing project should be given free to all their regular employees.
Kunsabagay marami pa rin namang may pera na walang taste. so im sure this project would be a hit.

I dislike this even more now after seeing the new rendering, the thing that makes it very ugly are the blue balconies. It should look better for the price of the units.

The rendering of their makati project jupiter residences looks a lot better imo.

Kunsabagay marami pa rin namang may pera na walang taste. so im sure this project would be a hit.

Lol. Most of those with money who will be buying units here won't actually be living here. They'll just treat this as an investment. Unit prices would definitely appreciate once all developments are done.

to paraphrase your lola tina turner, what's taste got to do with it? lol!! :nuts::banana::bash:

sea residences ang pangalan pero it's not actually by the sea side. MOA will be blockingthe view unless dun ka sa top floor. though, prime pa rin talaga ang location.

Dapat man lang palitan yung design.

Hindi siya akma sa location & adjacent buildings (MoA, for example).

Dapat medyo wavy, or curvy. Tsaka dapat mid-rise, para kasing tenement ang dating. :lol:

SM should also emphasize that Filipinos nowadays really are very discriminating in terms of taste. Kumbaga, pasosyalan na to! :lol:

Dapat architecturally Filipino. :okay:

^^ it's mid-rise

To consider a building mid-rise, gaano siya dapat kataas?

^^ moderately high buildings, must be higher than a townhouse, usually 5 or 6 to 10 or 12 storey high... basically, 5-12 storey buildings...

oh, so SM will only start selling it by now?

Well we started offering this last June, Pero since License to Sell is out. All who have given their Letter of Interest and checks will now be deposited and payments will start already. So meaning this year pa lang mag accept ng payments ang SM. and Yes Bayview have been sold out since last year of August.

^^ Is there any update on the construction of Sea Residences?

wala pa akong nakikitang major erection from the area bukod dun sa mga cranes na nagdidig pa rin hanggang ngayon..

BORING.... it need to be a grand design... ang ganda ng MOA tpos itatabi mo yung simpleng design... pagandahin pa sana

BORING.... it need to be a grand design... ang ganda ng MOA tpos itatabi mo yung simpleng design... pagandahin pa sana

tama ka nga.... dapat pumili sila ng design na mag ko-complement sa mga katabi nitong structures like MOA. Para kasing box na may blue yung facade nya eh.:nuts:

wow ang cute naman nya..

Yes. How come other SM Residences are far better looking than this one? Or is it because the others are much taller than this one?

I think this one can't be as tall because it sits on reclaimed land but they should at least take inspiration from One Serendra. Despite not being a high-rise, it still does look good.

Sayang kasi ang ganda nga ng location nito.

wala naman palang view ng sea, malapit lang sya sa sea

so far naman, wala namang mataas na building na magoobstruct ng view nito sa dagat. yang masterplan ng MOA, di pa naman final yan or matagal pa bago makumpleto. yung mall naman is 2 floors lang, so therefore may view pa din ng sea.

Kaya ba midrise lang ang SEA Residences, para walang free view/watch for the highest floor residents during a concert in MOA grounds? Just like yung sa Journey concert. Just asking. :nuts:

here's an update on the construction. well regarding sa design obviously it's been really a question hehe and yet never been answered. hey guys if you notice maguumpisa na ata ang construction ng Two-Ecom Center

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e372/marvinsim/constructionupdate.jpg

Bakit parang angbabaw ng pundasyon?... ^^

Bakit parang angbabaw ng pundasyon?... ^^

because the buildings will be only 16 storey high and they are sitting on a reclaimed land.

There is an additional 5% discount for all units in Tower A facing Manila Bay starting from 2F to 6F, and 3% discount for all other units. Promo is applicable only for the first 50 buyers. Valid only until May 30, 2009.

living at the Sea Residences is very convenient obviously being near the MOA and the upcoming Pagcor City. land value will increase eventually but the building will deteriorate thru the passage of time in the long term. I still prefer investing in a house and lot, although the Sea Residences is another good way to invest but only for short term.

There will be a 5% price increase here effective June16.

kuha ko kahapon

Hey Guys I'm new here, i got a flier for sea residences and am surprised that it's almost 100k per square meter. ( a 2 bedroom 48 sqm unit is around 4.8-4.9 million). That's already as expensive as some of the condo units in the fort. Why is it so expensive, and what market is SM targeting for this?

^^ Im an agent of SMDC projects, but honestly, I dont know what is the official reason why it is priced at 100k/sqm.

But as my own conclusion, maybe it is bec of the development that will soon emerge in the area. It is planned to make SM Bay Central as a world-class complex.

Future developments will be Pagcor City (eyed to be Las Vegas of the Philippines), Microtel Inns and Suites, 4 high-end hotels, SM's own boutique hotels, a coliseum bigger than Araneta, a ferry terminal which will link SM MOA to Hamilo Coast in Nasugbu, Batangas and etc, etc, etc.

This maybe one of the reasons. In short, LOCATION.

Just my two cents. Nde po ako nagma-marunong. :lol:

naku, baka matawag ka na namang MR! hehe!

Aziza1121, thanks for the reply, so what is the target market of SM wit sea residences? Compared to their other projects this is significantly more expensive. Who are the people who inquire from you as an agent? Isnt SM pricing themselves out of the middle class market with this particular development?

Who are the people who inquire from you as an agent? Isnt SM pricing themselves out of the middle class market with this particular development?

The target market are investors, people who are looking for a prime investment. Buyers mostly are overseas-based Filipinos, with dual citizenship. I have a Physical Therapist buyer, and a Doctor of Medicine inquirer.

Existing "features" within the complex is the IMAX Theater, SM Science Discovery Center, SMX Convention Center, Concert Grounds, Olympic-size Ice-skating rink, Cinemas, Supermarket and the very spacious Mall itself.

All these plus all the future developments pa within the complex, everything is accessible.

You are right that the pricing of 100k/sqm is of BGC's range. I think it's because madaming variety of leisure and entertainment (compared to BGC) surrounding Sea Residences kaya ganyan ang pricing ngayon pa lang. Some are even existing na. Ideal talaga siya kung for investment purpose. Daily rentals c/o Balikbayan friends (who love to shop!), or ipa-rent sa mga office workers dyan sa mga corporate offices, or even to the students of Manila Doctors College.

The best price we have is at 2.1M. 24sqm, Amenity View.

Ah I went to the the open house of Mezza Residences recently and I came away impressed, Will the facilities etc.. of sea be more high end compared to other sm residences condos because of the difference in price? Thanks for taking time to answer my questions!

I believe in regards with turnover finishes, they are the same. May add-ons lang. Like the kitchen, included na yung overhead and under counter cabinets, rangehood and electric cooktop. And mas madaming amenities ang Sea.

just sharing.

i like the shot seeing moa behind. :D

Phase 2 now open!

ang ganda pala ng location nito dahil ang lapit sa MOA. gagawan din kaya itong bridgeway papuntang MOA?

parang napakalayo ata nun...kung sana underground..

sana di masira view ko ng MOA from afar kapag naitayo na ito..kasi parang naisip ko lang na di ko na makikita nang completo ang MOA (mula sa malayo) pag nakaharang sya..tama ba?

Phase 2 now open!

Hi Aziza, eto na ba yung Bldgs C and D? And also regarding a walkway to MOA, do you know if they have plans for that? tnx.

i'd take the liberty of answering your questions.

August 7 (tentative) will be the launching of Tower C & E both facing makati

all units will be furnished, list to follow on official launch.

EDIT: first 150 clients to provide reservation will get 5% off TCP.

EDIT: price starts at 2.25M.

(info from my agent)

i have raised that question before, but as of now there are no impending plans (not that it was stated/advertised that they will) of a bridgeway to MOA or even an underpass (like in rockwell).

and based on their future plans of the whole complex, there will be future developments on the existing SM offices in b/w sea residences and MOA, not to mention the SM Arena proposed to be built infront of SMX which is currently a parking lot. this concretely brush off the prospect of having a bridgeway.

and if there is going to be one, the safest option would be an underpass.

Yup I also think that an underpass is the best option. That is if they decide to build one of course. Well..sana.. :)

only a few units (mostly tower b) are left, that's the latest update i got.

the furnishings must be an added bonus for prospective clients of tower C & E for them to levy price increments.

well that would be really nice, a priviledge underpass to the Mall and the complex, accessible rain or shine would really be an added perk to the residents and future tenants of the building.

should you wish to know more of this project, i can refer you to my agent.

Thanks a lot for the offer lanrocksea, but I already made contact with someone from SM. I only saw the project last month when I went to the MOA and was really impressed. I think it's a very good investment either for rent or occasional vacation residence when we're in Pinas. Pair this with another unit at the Pico de Loro Cove (Hamilo Coast) and it's heaven!...well at least for me. :nuts:

no biggie

it is. have you seen the renderings for the whole complex?

http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/1091/smarena3ad7.jpg

it's really world class. i remembered this since you mentioned about hamilo.

and coupled with the proposed projects within bay city, this will be prime sooner than we might expect it to be.

will the unit size be the same? so around 22.5 sqm for a 1br. 3M for 22.5sqm? 133K/sqm! whoa! that would be one of the most expensive /sqm in any area! only ultra high end condos in BGC can command this price tag. even rockwell is not this expensive.

i guess, lucky are the early investors.

oops, my bad, wrong info.

this one is verified:

1br w/o balcony 2.25M this is the lowest.

1br w/balcony 2.7M

price per sq.m is 95K/sq.m

and its now up to first 150 units reserved applicable to 5% discount.

turnover for tower c & e will be 2012.

Wow..not a very long time to wait! Yup I was busy exchanging emails this weekend and finally decided on the unit I like. There were already some early reservations because the original unit I wanted was already reserved! At least I was still able to get the 5% discount. :lol: So, will we be neighbors lanrocksea? :cheers::)

It would be really great if there were rooftop gardens. :)
A general question, can condo residents propose new amenities or other upgrades through their HOA?

A general question, can condo residents propose new amenities or other upgrades through their HOA?

what i can safely say that it is being discussed upon. many have suggested that to make use of the space and have a full view of the manila bay as well.

afaik, it can be done unanimously and if their willing to cough up for funding.

Hey Guys now that Pagcor City looks like its about to start construction, will sea residences raise their prices or factored in na yun?

Hey Guys now that Pagcor City looks like its about to start construction, will sea residences raise their prices or factored in na yun?


I think factored in na yun. SM has its own developement sa complex nila. The PAGCOr city is parang bonus na lang. But With all this development Property value in that area will sure be higher in the future.

Hi

Anyone can advise and post the answer here regarding below query?

Gusto kung malaman kung ano yung plano o itatayo doon sa vacant lot facing to makati skyline.. sa mga pictures dito di ko pa rin malinaw kung ano plano doon. Please advise.

What building are left with seaside views? Reserved na ba lahat?

i can see the cranes getting higher...

What building are left with seaside views? Reserved na ba lahat?

all are sold, but there might be reopened units for building A on the higher floors. even the newly launched towers, those with partial view of the bay had already been sold.

last time i was there, they're already on the 2-3rd level of building B and ground level going 2nd for building A, and 3 cranes are now erected.

was anyone around the MOA complex earlier today?

Hi

Gusto kung malaman kung ano yung plano o itatayo doon sa vacant lot facing to makati skyline.. sa mga pictures dito di ko pa rin malinaw kung ano plano doon. Please advise.

i don't think theyve announced anything yet, pero from what I know, agents/brokers, when asked, should not guarantee that the view they'll be having upon turnover will be the same, i think even the units facing the bay are not guaranteed. the only permanent view to have would be the units facing the amenities.

^^ that is true... only the amenities-facing units will more or less have a permanent view... developers do not promise the permanence of the present view Ad infinitum, only the brokers/agent do this yet fail to explain that developers do not have control over properties that is not their own... so enjoy the view, even at a penthouse unit, while it lasts. unless your penthouse unit is at 188th floor, then expect a more lasting permanent view... yet a 188th floor bldg may be unlikely presently.

The following will be visible in MOA Complex in year 2011:

Regent Hotel
Radisson Hotel
New Casino
Ferry Terminal
Two-Ecomm Building
Three-Ecomm Building
SMX Convention Center 2

Construction in the area will be full blast to meet the directive. Mag-a-appreciate todo ang value ng SEA Residences nyan.

^^ Amazing development! :banana:

hi, can anyone tell me ano yun length and width size of the 28- and 48-sqm units at Sea Residences. parang pahaba kasi yun 1-BR based on the pics

i dont think smx 2 will be on moa..

Mandara, although also near manila bay is quite far from other developments. its on the other side. i prefer this project.

Mandara, although also near manila bay is quite far from other developments. its on the other side. i prefer this project.

Yup same with in_a_rush, for me the location was the main selling point of this project. Also for the amenities, looking at Mandara's web site, they don't even come close to the amenities that will be provided by Sea Residences. Then there's the developer where the choice was a no-brainer for me. Good luck whichever you choose. :)

@in_a_rush & @alpha350

Thanks for the advice. I'll go with this one and get a "bay view" facing unit. Although for sure the view will not be permanent as in the future, for sure SM will demolish the corp bldg there and construct new towers. I just hope that my "bay view" will not become "bldg view" in 3-5 yrs time. Para ma enjoy pa sana for a few years :)

but even if ever they construct a tower that will cover your view, you can easily walk going to san mig by the bay and enjoy the "bay view". maybe get a beer or two while enjoying it.. so convenient..

with climate change predictions of sea levels rising by several meters...you would not like to be caught in that area.....:)

Chill kalbongdad..don't worry too much and try to read beyond the headlines. :) eto o.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8387137.stm
But if we don't do anything about climate change (Yes we are all responsible for it!), all these predictions may probably come true! Fortunately we still have some time, albeit not a lot to prevent this from happening. Still, according to research this 1.4m rise in the global sea level is forseen to happen in the next century. That is in the year 2100!
Palagay ko wala na ako non. :rofl:

hi future neighbors!
i also bought 1 unit (1br w/ balcony) - facing amenities for bldg. E.. :)
i got it for 2.750m. - expensive ko na nakuha for a fully furnished unit.
take note: it's preselling.. ouchies..
i hope that this will be a good investment.
i am also thinking on getting my own parking lot but quite expensive - 700k naman offer sakin.

Sir the 2.750 is it list price? I think you can ask for discount pa... konting tulak :)

Congrats doownn! Join ka na rin sa FB page natin. :)
@friendlypirate, thanks for joining! If you have any photo updates, paki-post na lang din sa FB and here in the forum.
Cheers future neighbors! :banana::cheers1:

yup.. 7% lang discount ko sa price ng house..
direct na ako mismo sa smdc nagask, yan na daw talaga ang bentahan nila.
nagustuhan ko talaga yung place nong nagpunta ako dyan sa pinas kaya kinuha ko na agad.
then naavail ko yung 15thou reservation nila kasi may promotion daw sila.
so less 10thou ako instead of 25thou.

though expensive sya talaga compared sa ibang condo units dito, i think ok syang investment because of the location. malapit sa airport, moa, baclaran church, heritage hotel (casino :p) and other future plans na itatayo "daw" within the area.

May FB na din pala dito, ok to ah, will check that soon

wow may FB na ang mga unit owners ng Sea REsidences. hehe Guys by next year Sea Residences is going to launch phase 3 already. PHase 2 is 65% to 70% already just within 4 months since we launch phase 2. Those are interested in Phase 3 can contact me =)

Syempre di naman tayo pahuhuli..:lol: Join ka na rin Marvin so you can also post some updates like the launching of phase 3 that you just mentioned. Kung ok lang, paki-invite na ring yung iba na kumuha ng units through you. Mas marami..mas masaya! :) tnx!

do we have any updates for the development?
guys, i have a question lang po.. once the unit is ready na po..
pwde ko ba itong gawin thru pagibig instead of banking finance?
i checked kasi mas mataas rates ng bdo - which is affiliated ng smdc.
i'm planning sana to loan the balance sa pagibig if pwede... :)
then get another property again.. LOL just kidding..

I just hate the lazy design. SM is bringing its boxy and lazy mall designs into their residential projects as well. MoA is the only SM mall that does not look like a shoebox ( pun intended...) But oh well, its there. I wish there'll be more daring architecture not just in this development but in the entire country as well.

sana ikaw na lang nagdesign ng sea residences para maganda :P

New Pag-ibig Loanable amounts and corresponding interest rates

"The new Pag-IBIG housing loan interest rate structure retains the 6%-rate for loans up to P400,000, and 7% for loans over P400,000 up to P750,000.

Interest rates have been slashed from 10.5 percent to only 8.5% for loans over P750,000 up to P1 million, and to 9.5% for loans over P1 million to P1.25 million.

Meanwhile, interest for loans over P1.25 million to P2 million remains at 10.5%.

Along with the latest rate adjustment, the Pag-IBIG Board also approved the increase in maximum loanable amount to P3 million, at an interest rate of 11.5% per annum for loans starting at over P2 million."

Welcome neighbor!

hi, lanrocksea!

thanks for the reply. :)

11.5% din pala sya.. hmm.. same lang din pala sila sa bank if ever 2m+ sya.
however, sa bank ay nag-iiba ang rates nila (up & down rates).
anyway, i still have 2 yrs to think.. :cheers:

sana ok yung gym nila and free yung spa.. LOL

i am looking forward for the grand eb of the home owners here in March 2012.. :lol::banana:

likewise, am too hoping the amenities in general will be better than the existing projects of SM residences. considering, under the umbrella of SMDC, Sea residences holds premium.

Their Makati and Edsa Boni project is very promising and affordable!

actually sea residences ata pinakaexpensive nilang project.. :(:ohno:
cheaper pa yung sa princeton nila and even grass residences..
kaya sana naman sulit yung amenities nila para paguwi ko ng pinas ay maenjoy ko naman. :banana:
and i am also planning na iparent yung unit once maiturn over na.
i hope property management will take care of it.. :lol:

nareceive nyo na po ba contract nyo?
i haven't receive it yet pa kasi.
btw, i bought phase 2 project na nila and tower E. :nuts:

yeah. medyo matagal lang ang processing nila. it took me almost a month and that was a year ago. back when SMDC just had a handful of projects at their plate. I can only just imagine now, there is always chaos at SMDC office. :D

4 cranes now erected at the site.

they must've started working on phase 2, neighbor.

still waiting for my contract.
anyway, you're one of the luckiest customers of sea residences lanrocksea.. :banana:

no problem alpha350.

I'm sure everyone is anticipating every now and then for an update.

I should've gotten a better shot with the balconies in view. It added character to the building.
