thanks augustboy. parang bumagal ata. from the pictures sent by zenday, parang 1 or 2 floors lang ang nadagdag, unless this was taken 1 or 2 weeks ago.. can you ask ryan from g&w, when do they expect the topoff. Are we still on track for March turnover..:ohno:

16th floor pa lang sa pic ni zenday (june27).
sa pic naman ng g&w (july20) 18th floor na.
more or less 12 days per floor


http://i41.tinypic.com/210wu8j.jpg

augustboy, this shows a slowing down than the estimate of 10 days per floor as communicated by Gibson to malum. 2 days for ten floor is still 20days or about a month more delay. If only G&w can monitor such delays or institute steps to recover some of the delay of the project. Despite this, still happy with this project. seeing how TSR is turning out to be..

johnrcg, we also have to consider the weather, if you can remember it was stormy last week due to typhoon, and steady rains may have hampered the works for a few days.
10days per floor is very attainable weather permitting.
i'm quite positive on how g&w projects are turning out...... man, do i have a choice? :D

yeah we don't have a choice... but a good choice pa rin... sana nagbabasa ang taga g&w... :bash: btw, comparing with other projects, deliverying much faster in floor construction... pati nga CPR, nakakahabol na rin. they are just 12 floors behind.. :nuts:

wow! lapit na rin mag top off ito...replica ng TSR ang BSR...pero mas aesthetic ang swimming pool ng BSR :cheers:

Has anyone heard from G&W officially on construction update and progress -for TSR & BSR ??
Good for builders - ''No pressure and deliver when done with/without excuses. ''

Got this pics from Augustboy post from CPR. Nasa 21/22nd floor na. Sana top-off na soon. Hay tagal naman :nuts:

Thanks TheRick. Grabe updated talaga. Its interesting to see that they have started framing even if its not yet topped off. PArang di ganyan dati sa SR. I think they are working to recover some lost time. =)

finished na ba yung ascendas?
honestly, the building appears less attractive than the rendering.
they should have used aluminum panels like all other commercial/office buildings.

tama ka jan august88boy, ni walang nag memention kung maganda sya..pansin ko.:ohno:

I like its color scheme... Masaya and pleasing to the eyes...
It looks really nice in person... But I agree the material choice could have been better...

Sana they swtched BSR with Ascendas...
That was SR and BSR could be like GH Towers... And the green accent of Ascendas would match the green tints of GH Towers... :lol:

Nice ^^

sarap mag-jogging/walking sa umaga.

TheRick, napansin mo ba kung occupied ng Ascendas at TheFortResidences ang buong lote nila? meron din ba set-back provided for some landscape like SR,BSR,and CPR?

Grabe yung dumaan na bagyo. Pati BGC binaha. Buti nalang Sapphire projects are still in the construction stage though of course we would prefer the flood did not reach the area where it stands. Makes me wonder wow the Bellagio, Forbeswood Heights, and Fort Palm Springs do after the storm? Grand Hampton twins seem to have been spared from what Realtor_Manila / Cynch reported and hopefully the rest of the projects in the vicinity did too.

Hanggang saan kaya umabot ang baha sa BGC? Just that when I saw this pic of Burgos Circle it prompted me to ask/post the project threads since I would not be surprised if it did flood some of the basement parking levels. Mukhang grabe kasi itong baha eh. Hopefully Fort Palm Springs, Bellagio, FWH and the other projects in the vicinity didn't get damaged/flooded like those in Burgos Circle did. Siguradong law suit waiting to happen ito. Drainage must have been blocked by construction debris kasi diba full of construction activities naman dito sa areang ito? Regardless who/what caused this flood, they should do something about it asap para di na maulit ito.

and today forbestown sept 26, 2009

"ondoy you will be remembered."

via FB

^^ Btw here's a link which shows a video that looks like it's taken in one of the establishments in the Burgos Circle. Grabe ang baha! Kung BGC/Burgos Circle binaha despite its more modern drainage / water collection system, I can only imagine how much worse it has been in the other parts of the metro. This storm is really one for the books.

so blue, any updates in here..

I was at Cafe Juanita in Burgos Circle last sunday and was able to see the development with BSR. I am happy to see much progress on the exterior of BSR.

I just noticed they were repairing one or two floor exterior. I think its 10th floor. They were re-cementing this section last Sunday. Would you know why they are re-doing this section?

http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee156/aganagutom/PICT0341.jpg?t=1262692227
(Picture posted by Augustboy c/o Ryan).

Hopefully cosmetic lang ito and/or quality assurance by g&w. =)

Can't wait for the turnover.

great to see g&w projects getting finished.
hope the 're-cementing' work in BSR was just minor, didn't notice that when i was in burgos circle last month.

what i did notice actually were the cracks(?) or patches on bellagio1 side wall, as seen from CoffeeBean & TeaLeaf, hope they were superficial and repainted already by this time.

neighbor building TFR is looking nice.
exterior cement plaster finishes look smooth and finely done.

wonder how BSR differs from SR when done.

Augustboy, bellagio1 side wall? do you mean FPS side? or fronting the CPR?
I have highlighted the re-cementing work I saw.

http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/ab81/johng2010/bsr01052010.jpg?t=1263176669

Maybe you can ask Ryan? hehehe.

Hopefully G&w continues to deliver their project with quality (as they did with SR) yet not delay the turnover further.

yan ang isang dahilan kaya binabawal ang picture sa bgc, marami kang nakikita at tinatanong hehehe :lol:

i was referring to belaggio1's end wall, the narrow end wall na kitang kita from CoffeeBean. nakita ko mga patches practically on every floor.

Ah not BSR Wall? good thing di for BSR. tama ba? hehehe.

sige na tanong mo si ryan. hehehe. buti na lang di yun floor ko yun may repair. same side pa naman. hehehe.

minor lang yung 'recementing' na nakita mo, bro.
don't worry, pineperpekto lang ang mga exterior finish :) . . . . yun ang sabi nila :D

hula ko 8th floor or below ang unit mo?

Thanks Augustboy, iba na talaga may insider at malakas sa g&w.. hehehe. as expected I truly value g&w effort in deliverying their project as good as possible. thats one of the reason I chose BSR.

cynch announced it on her blog that the turnover for BSR is on July. I believe that is from the main office na.:banana:

Sandali na lang yan.

BSR topped off last Dec.
If they are going to turnover in July then that is about 3 months faster than the 10 months finishing time (Top off to Turnover) of GH1, GH2 and SR.

Thanks theRick! Yup, kasi nga you noticed that they have started some of the finishing even before the topoff. They are trying to catch up with the delays, i guess. Just cant wait for my fitout soon.

hi guys, can you help , me to decide, i am looking as an investment buying a 1bedroom in blue sapphire, cost around 4.2m, bank loan of 5years ammortization of around 88t per month fixed at 10% or buying a bnew seibu premiere at 3.24M for 1bedroom but, 30% dp 12months to pay 70% 36months but turnover is 2014... will buying the B.S. at bank loan and renting it out at july be better than waiting for seibu premiere? and how much is the going rate of rentals of a 1bedroom of blue sapphire.. thanks guys..

if you buy BSR and rent it out right away, assuming that the rental is 40k at the least, you would have recovered the 1M difference from buying Seibu Premiere that will turnover in 4 years. So to answer your question, it is good to buy something that is ready asap, and at a small difference in price BSR is the it to buy..

just to remind you, the 3.24M unit in seibu premiere is only 36 sq.m. in area
while blue sapphire is (whopping) 48 sq.m. :)

Thanks Augustboy, Ryan! Whats the target turnover already? Will it start July? Hope its earlier.
:nuts:

nice. the clients will be happy. there is still a 4.2M 1 bedroom facing crescent park west available here. being sold by an owner through ms cynch. a good investment at this point since buyer's names are not yet submitted to the registry of deeds, meaning no capital gains nor transfer tax upon purhcase.

update sa unit ko. some of you must be thinking ang tagal naman. my unit is just waiting on some materials i sent from the US. it's delayed a week so hopefully by next week i have the kitchen and the floor done. i wanted to reiterate the quality of work done by NONIE my contractor. Also by theRick and Superboy's contractor and many others that are going through their fit out now as we speak. With Nonie it is really the quality that counts, which will give you more reason to pick this guy, take a look at some pics i just posted below. Ang kinis ng gawa.

Remeber I dont make any money of spreading the word. I just want to share with you that there is a good contractor out there. Tested na sya through theRick, Superboy, and now me.

GW is really pushing for June/July turnover, so I was told. But they mentioned as almost the same as CPR. is CPR supposed to turnover in Dec? or July as well? parang ang lapit na nila matapos based on what I saw when I was in Pinas.

@chillendawg,

awesome unit! that's a real jawdropper. just wanted to ask real quick how big your unit is in terms of sqm?

was the idea of the arched ceiling yours? thanks for sharing.

thanks for the complement, it's a 1 bedroom @48sqm. yes the ceiling design was mine. it evolved from the chandelier and everything kind of went with it. as you can see the transition of colors and designs all come together.

Hello everyone...
Sorry if this was asked before... I was just wondering if anyone might know for buyers who paid "cash" kung CCTs are given before fitout or after? Di ba dapat before? meaning at turnover?
G&W "good as cash" deal is payable in 2 years, if bank financed, di ba kelangan ng CCT as collateral? How can the bank finance mortgage kung walang collateral ie CCT?
Thanks to anyone who can respond.

Hi,

Has anyone heard from g&w of the start of the turnover. I heard from my agent that it MIGHT start july 15. Is it true?

Anyway, its looking good (thanks augustboy for the pic - grabbed from CPR thread)
http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee156/aganagutom/IMG_1880.jpg

really, i mean at least your agent is in touch with you and updating, although i heard from somebody(co-owner) we will have turnover around june of this year.

Have not heard from my Agent. I tried to contact him several times but I cant seem to catch him. Guess they're avoiding us? :(

finally my agent informed me about the turnover, it will start this july and i will have mine on october.. how great is that! keeping my fingers cross here..
@djmoan you might be inform too, pretty soon..

Hi Thats really good news! Is the October schedule by choice or G&W gave this schedule? I should get my schedule already :banana:

finally my agent informed me about the turnover, it will start this july and i will have mine on october.. how great is that! keeping my fingers cross here..
@djmoan you might be inform too, pretty soon..

i know, it's too good to believe di ba? my agent just emailed me this info day before.. and if i have the choice i would have mine sched. last january, lol.. what i mean is i was just informed but not confirmed, but seriously it's going to happen soon this year. you shld start asking your agent too.. finally!

Hi, thanks for sharing Nonie's contact detaisl, im currently looking for a contractor who can help us in the fit out of our unit in blue sapphire. Was Nonie also the one who designed ur unit or you just gave him ur design? Cheers!

I got my turnover notice yesterday!!!! :banana:

BSR operation to start July 31. I have scheduled my walk-through 2nd week of August :nuts:

Time to finish the design and contractor for the fitout.. :)

I would like to advise people who will hire Nonie as their contractor, he is not an interior designer so you need to have someone else to make tutuk sa unit nyo. I hired someone else to be there for me since I reside in the US. I received photos every single day twice a day pa nga eh.

Yes I did design my unit. Nonie just did the construction. Everything from ceiling and wall to wall was my idea. He did some drawings for me only because I wanted to make sure that he understood my instructions, but that was it.

I hope this helps. Good Luck to all of you! Remember you can't just sit around and expect your unit to be perfect. You need to put in your share of work, you still have to be there or someone else to oversee the work they are doing.

Congrats johnrcg...just curious, what floor are you at?

Thanks!

happy days are here for the BSR investors.
turnover time :banana:

Cranky, I am the 7th.. I think they prioritize the lower floors. the property manager asked me if I got the letter already.. presumably that they are doing it per floor. I already got a confirmed appointment for the turnover on the August 11th. :)

buckcrosser, don't worry you will receive your letter soon.. maybe ask your agent too.

Congrats johnrcg...just curious, what floor are you at?

Thanks!

Hello neighbor! I am on the 7th as well!
The thing is... I don't have an agent and I wonder if not being in the country has something to do with the turnover? kaya? If you don't mind my asking Johnrcg..... are you overseas?

Wow neighbor!!! hehehe. Am based here in manila. I guess if they are sending the turnover letter to overseas it will take longer to arrive. but if you want PM me your unit I can inquire G&W or the property manager. Do you have a prefer schedule for the turnover?

Ang babait talaga ng mga taga SSC- especially G&W investors, very helpful!

A big shout out to Chillendawg and TheRick who never tire to share their knowledge and experiences to all of us who are just starting with the process.

ibahin kaya ang design/interior finish ng lobby and hallways ng BSR o kamuka din ng SR? they have exactly the same exterior looks, floor plans, and amenities.

better if they differ from each other especially the main lobby.
baka mamali ng uwi ang lasing na unit owner :lol: tas madadatnan niya ibang babe ang nasa kwarto hehe malaking gulo :bash:

salamat Johnrcg!!!
I got my turnover date scheduled! :banana:

Yey Neighbor! hahaha. Time to plan our fitout...:nuts:

salamat Johnrcg!!!

Augustboy... baka more of the furnishing of the lobby lang siguro.. saka SR have the gym, bsr have the function room. but maybe Ryan can post a "sneak" peak of what BSR looks like inside. hahaha. Hayaan nyo will definitely post pics during my turnover. (exactly 6wks from now) :banana:

cranky, although BSR and TSR are on two separate lots, they are suppose to be twin towers. I was told by Gibs that both unit owners can share amenities.

Good deal!!!

Turn-over is really around the corner.. the construction wall around the building is all gone as of last saturday. 24 days til BSR is revealed! :)

The units which are being turned over now are the RRF (Ready To Receive Finish) units.

The Model Unit Finish (MUF) units will be turned over sometime November 2010.

That is one not so good news realtor, coz it was almost real.. hahaha, was planning to come home this september.. buhuhuhu :ohno:
mine's MUF..

mine's MUF..

MUF units will not be finished by September. If you've already booked your vacation this September, I suggest that you just take a look at one of the MUF units in The Sapphire Residences. Exactly the same specs.

realtor thank you. i've seen those picture here before too, and they are exactly like the model houses, before signing with my agent, so maybe i will need just tiny bits of renovations.. i wonder how long it will take for me to stay in phils. for my ceilings, ac's water and elect. and paper woks done. any idea anyone, pls. share naman.

hi guys, i am on the 5th floor f. we are walking through on the 18th of august.

GMWINTERNITZ--- I saw your post at Sapphire Residences about "flood test" but for some reason, my post there won't go thru but here is my thought...

I think it may be a good idea to ask GW/ property management to make this a standard test (flood test) once the above unit is done. I've been informed that when above unit incurs damage into your unit (i.e. leaks), you are responsible for your own repairs-- in that case, you will have to fix your neighbor's plumbing problem!

My unit is at BSR-- apparently TSR and BSR are like "twin towers". I think BSR and TSR unit owners should work together and make both the best at BGC.

I don't understand why there is such thing as "CONDOMINIUM CORPORATION CAPITALIZATION" fee--- what is this for?

Do the property management provide all unit owners an accounting of where our monthly dues are going? say, at least once a year?

Is there a "Sapphire Condominium" trust/ bank account where all monthly dues are deposited to?

We should all remember that we are not just unit owners, but collectively, we have ownership of the whole building, and property management should keep us satisfied and make them work for us! If we think it is necessary to have a flood test, then we should demand it! We're not paying "Condominium Corporation Capitalization" fee for nothing, right?

Hi Cranky,

I heard from a contractor of SR, that flooding test is standard step after completing your fitout (before releasing the bond). I think for us unit owner, insurance to cover for leakage/flooding etc can be the additonal protection..

anyway, i am not familiar about how the corporation work, and i agree we must make sure everything is accounted for and that the property management works for all the unit owner and not the other way around. based on feedback, this is the case for SR/BSR or GW projects.

I will visit BSR tomorrow and will try to post pictures. I will have my formal turnover on Aug. 11. Cant wait :banana:

Hi Johnrcg!! I have rescheduled my turnover to September so your unit would probably be halfway done by then, huh?

I think we should have an access to all unit owners' contact info (ie email) so we can easily relay/ discuss issues. We are at the "electronic age" where communicating is as easy as a keystroke. If it were not for you (thanks again, johnrcg!), I would have not known they were scheduling turnover already! So, I am not really sure if FPD Asia is reliable in communicating- can't even get them to respond to a question! :ohno:

For a start, maybe we should create an official "Blue Sapphire Condo. ORG" website where all unit owners are informed of the site to voice their concerns/ suggestions at the same time be informed of what is going on--- this would be very helpful to all unit owners who are not in the Philippines as well. This would also be a good time to start the process of gathering information from unit owners because most of us are coming home for the turnover.

Thoughts?

Hi,

I visited BSR yesterday and it looked good! Its really worth the wait and it looked it was really "turn-over worthy" :)

good job G&W (so far!!!:lol:)

I wish it will be half done. Who are you getting to do your fitout? PM me your email address.

Hmm For FPD, for me its effective to text or call them. Anyway, if you
need urgent things, let me know so I can try to follow up.

For our organization, there is an FB page for Sapphire Residence/BSR residence. Try to search for it. I think its easier to do it via FB so we
dont need to create our own site.

See you soon neighbor! :cheers:

wow nice photos, which floor are you? btw i'm on 19th and till now my agent haven't responded when exactly is my T/O, but really nice photos, thanks for sharing..
It didn't actually look better than TSR right, esp the walls on your lobby, are they wood? :)
augustboy, here's a :cheers: on your T/O, so happy for you.. you shld. share those snaps of ur house very soon..

I am on the 7th. I think any floors can do their Turnover already, you just have to let them know your preferred schedule and depending on the availability of the slots on those dates. Did u get an RRF or MUF unit? Maybe you can email the property manager directly..

I guess communicating with FPD is more of an issue for unit owners who are not based in the Philippines...Good thing I have a great neighbor! :banana:

If we can't have an official website yet then maybe FPD should get all unit owners informed of the Facebook page (distributing memo/fliers on turnovers probably?). There are probably 200 (?) units in our building and if all are aware of the FB site it will be easier to take action on anything collectively versus a few...just a thought...

GREAT PICTURES, by the way!
I will send you pm, johnrcg- thanks!

galing ako dito last week, dis place is so great!
and I'm plannng to----

BSR and TSR is somehow exact replica with some changes here and there. the unit hallway is the same, the walls are concrete with laminates which gives the hallway a classy feel, sort of hotel ambiance. hehehe. I have not seen any similar treatment even with more expensive condo projects. normally they will just have plain wall. Plus the use of black granite tiles was great!

maganda pala unit mo, wide angle ang view, from CPR to SR :okay:

pag uuwi ka sa unit mo at sasakay ka ng taxi, sabihin mo sa Sapphire-BGC para di ka dalin sa ortigas hehe,
pagdating mo ng BGC.... 'dun sa BLUE' :D

hi! does anyone know when the function room will be ready? or can anyone PM me the contact info of the property manager? thanks!!

Hi.. function room seems ok na. Though it does not contain any furniture, etc. I took pictures of the function room during my turnover last week. I will try to post pic within the week. I will pm you the FPD contact details. hi! does anyone know when the function room will be ready? or can anyone PM me the contact info of the property manager? thanks!!

don't you think the shared gym for both the sapphire res and the blue sapphire is a bit small and very few equipments considering that there are over 400 units that will be sharing this facility? just a thought.

do you guys have the lobby furnitures yet? i wanted to compare the furnitures we got at the sapphire and what you guys have at the blue sapphire. sapphire's was ugly, i mean really ugly...

Luckily, most Filipinos are lean and may not be needing the fitness facility that much? How many equipments/ machines are there? I wonder if it gets crowded....

Gosh that is some height! Ang ganda :) sana ganyan din sa CPR. Thanks for sharing John.

must be 3meters high. okay talaga ang floor to ceiling windows.
jetsetgo palagay ko ganyan din sa cpr, same no. of floors and same height ang buildings ng BSR and CPR.

Gosh that is some height! Ang ganda :) sana ganyan din sa CPR. Thanks for sharing John.
Ayun nga lang pamatay ang shades/curtains.. hahaha. :bash:
For CPR, ang nawala is the corner view (i think) but i think it should be as nice.. and full view of the circle for some units. mine kasi 1/4 lang. :nuts:
but i am not complaining. :)

Buti pa kayo floor to ceiling talaga windows.

I think GW did a good job with this project. Based on the pictures I've seen posted here, some of the other developments seemed to have low cost materials in the common areas and yes, floor to ceiling windows are pretty amazing! And to top that, only 8 units per floor- it can't be any better than that! :D

for our floor cranky, it will only be at most 7 units as one owner combined 2 one bedroom. hehehe. :banana:

lucky are those who invested in SR and BSR. :okay:
unit price years ago started from 55k, ngayon at least 100k na, preselling pa, wait pa ng 4 years to turnover.

nasaan na ang thread ng Grand Hampton and Sapphire residences? thanks :)

hi, any gw agents please text me,any 1br for sale at bsr or cpr ,pls sms me ?

The window seems to be different from the original design. Parang mas marami syang metal frame ngayon.

nadagdagan nga ng frames, ganun din sa cpr.
that's one thing i notice in condos, walang picture windows na kamuka ng sa 5star hotels. kung hindi maliit angmga windows, marami namang panels.

okay na rin, at least floor to ceiling :okay:

Is it for safety reason? Yun na nga lang, floor to ceiling ang windows kaya maganda. Pero mas ok sana kung sa taas lang yung panel.

ganun ba ginamit mo? I am debating whether I should get that or a Schlage version na remote/ web controlled lock...Or is it even necessary to spend money on this???

Cranky, I dont think they will allow you to change the main lock. You can add a dead bolt/lock basta same finish/color ng main lock. anyway, ask it again during your turnover.

can someone share their turnover experience at blue sapphire residences? thanks a lot.

I have done my turnover last month and it was done professionally. Minor
retrofits by the contractor were noted/done after the turnover. The common
area are all ok/ready too except for the owner elevator and skygarden, some parking levels.

I am assuming you got a RRF unit? I think turnover of MUF will be december still.

I am starting my fitout already. :banana:

thanks for sharing. i got a RRF unit too. what kind of defects should i be looking for during turnover? did they say when the passenger elevators would be operational? thanks again.

glocker,
G&W sends their architect/engineer to do most of the inspection. But suggest to have your contractor go with you during the turnover. Also, you might want to visit your unit prior to the turnover. Just go to the lobby office hours to have them open your unit. This allow you more time to inspect. Some items to look out - wall and floor finish, sealing of all pipes, door beam, switches cover, window opening. but as i said no major defects can be found.

go look at it your unit now :)

Passenger elevators should be operational this september, the last time I asked.

@johnrcg

thanks a lot for the helpful tips. will try go to the lobby and check out my unit. hopefully the passenger elevator is working already. by the way how much did you have to pay during/before a unit is turned over?

Was at the BSR yesterday, unfortunately wala pa rin passenger elevator. They are still calibrating. Target still within September. I have talked to bldg
manager and informed that he will arrange that unit owners can use the
service elevator anytime.

john, pics naman ng common areas :)

i was sent email of all the settlement bills on the day of turnover, and just found out i have to start paying the monthly dues, so i hope i could live there before i will leave phils.
and our friend here johncrg, is really reliable, with all his viable infos, always sounds like a pro, keep it up! and all the others, keep posting..

Hi bukcrosser, thanks for the nice word about my advise. I just try to help other unit owners in their turnover/fitout issues based on my personal
experience. I do get a lot of help from others too. :lol:

anyway, all Unitowners please PM me your unit no. and email so we can
add you to the yahoo group I have created. This way we can collaborate better and plan out meetings/gathering soon.

=)

Cresentparkdude, Not so sure of the travertine claddings. But I like the white cladding that was installed. its elegant, clean, modern for me.

@Johnrcg: can I ask what you used for your flooring? Ganda!

I also love the shelving in the bedroom. Was this done on-site or bought?

We're not yet done fitting out. On-going pa. 5th floor kami. :)

Hi Gromek,

Thanks!

Its just tiles. 60x90 ang size. The shelving in the bedroom, I had my contractor build it (following my design). I can't afford ID eh.


PM me your contact details so we can meet up in BSR. good luck
on your fitout.

Hi Johnrcg,

Thanks for sharing. Ang ganda. Sinong contractor mo? Can you share his contact details? If you don't mind, how much (estimate) did you spend sa fitout excluding the furnitures. Are all the cabinets built-in? Did you buy the materials yourself or you let your contractor do the buying for you? Saan kaya mas makakatipid? What do you recommend pls? Tight budget kasi kaya making the canvassing rounds. Thanks. jessica.eusebio75@yahoo.com

Congrats!
Great job by you and Levi. You can definitely see some of Levi's touch/style. ^^

I hope you took lots of pics when you were doing the fitout.
Its nice to go back once in awhile and see all the the hardwork you put into it.

I trying to set up an early March visit.
Hope I get to see your condo unit plus see BSR.

So excited how G&W keeps impressing people with the quality of every BTO project.

Is your unit 1 or 2 bedroom? Its a matter of space planning i think. And maybe the wide angle shot make look bigger. :nuts:

Yes glad i did it myself, more fulfilling esp if you get compliments. It also
helped that I got Levi who gives his input and inject some of his ideas
esp. considering this fitout experience. yes I took a lot of pics & yup the
hardwork/stress and expenses are all worth it. :banana:

2 bedroom yung sa akin. I'll try to post a picture later of my kitchen, bare pa nga lang mas mukha pa ring maliit...yang sa'yo parang pwede pang mag ballroom dancing sa gitna eh.

BSR doesn't have a balcony for 2 bdrm unit.
baka yun ang nawalang space sa kitchen ng CPR.
Wala rin balcony ang 1bdrm ng CPR kaya mas maluwang ang kitchen kesa BSR.

Where'd you get the tiles? Do you mind sharing how much per pc? Really nice.

John, Is it true that 1-Bdrm association due is (P78/sqm) P3,804/month?
It seems tad high, I must have misheard it.

Its P64/sqm if i remember it right.

Yes more like euro modern I guess. We designed it ourselves. I think at the end of the day since your living in it best you design it! :)

Agree.

Yes more like euro modern I guess. We designed it ourselves. I think at the end of the day since your living in it best you design it! :)

Also I guess since the space configuration is limiting unlike if you got something in say serendra 2 where a 2br is massive then creativity and select furniture comes into play. Thus the minimalism. But one thing I really like about the unit are the windows. Because they are floor to ceiling they create an illusion of space when open so those roller shades in my opinion were an good choice plus less dust buildup.

Anybody has 1 bedroom in BSR?

Awesome!
Imagine BSR was around P55k-60k/sqm and now its around P112k/sqm.
At this price - You can't even distinguish that the BTO prices were cheaper when they were pre-selling.

^^hmmmm...can't remember the time i showed you my unit so u could see for yourself the quality of levi's work? :nuts::lol::)

Just want to know if I buy a unit from the owner, what are the normal documentation and payments required to get it transferred to my name? How much would it normally cost? Thanks for any info.

Another Awesome work! Modern Native theme!
You are kicking butt with every condo project that you finish. ^^

^^ man that's awesome.. one of the most relaxing looking spaces i've seen. its like a spa.

^ I love the interiors. Maganda ang blending ng kulay. I also like the straight lines levi used in this fitout, comparable to what I'm seeing in houses we build here.

Interesting to see native materials he used here mixed well with the modern lighting and design. Hindi lang ako sold sa mirror glass wood casing na ginamit sa washroom, parang hindi bagay.

no post

Very nice.

Condo is incredible. Those look like pics from a interior decorating magazine. That is taking it to another level. Best condo design I've seen in this forum.
Was your fitout expensive?

thanks for the compliment!
