Waahhh.. rustyboi April 18th, 2008, 10:14 PM ^^so it's indeed true! :shocked: i agree with the guard. in my random visits to that area, i saw tourist buses parking outside the hotel every time. how much more if CR's insane rides are already installed? how much more when UR Fuente Tower and UR Prime are finished. it's gonna be one hell of a mega-complex. :shocked: sixinchtower April 19th, 2008, 03:54 AM actually, Club Ultima tower has no units for sale. it houses the club facilities, amenities, and hotel rooms too. it's been operational for about 3 years now. :) ic. so the only condo in fuente is the fuente tower. claro-claro na. hehe. thanks! :banana: vatics April 20th, 2008, 12:36 AM if tourists will keep growing in numbers visiting the hotel and the club, expect that more CU members will be added every day. there are sales people inside the club who are very eager to present the residential condo project, F3. what would be the big surprise? from the way you look how R1 (richard king) handles things, we expect many good changes will be made to the original plan. having a great eye for aethestics and curb appeal, F3 will be more than what you see & expect once finished. of course, mr. king has to invest so much on his first high-rise apartment building to entice more investors on his next real estate venture. good for investors at F3, as well as Ramos and Prime. christie April 20th, 2008, 01:42 PM so what's taking them so long @christie? so by the time i will have my christmas vacation this year, there will be another structure added on my photos. cool! Hi sir I'm sure that you'll get some photos when you return home by xmas. :yes: Anyway, regarding the pace of construction of buldings, in general (not only of the FT3), has been answered courtesy of sir Vatics :master: the basement or foundation is the substructure of the building that takes the longest time to construct than the superstructure (ground level to the topmost floor level). I am no engineer but I agree that the base of the structure is very critical that's why it takes longer time to get to the superstructure, as you call it. I have seen that tons of concrete have been poured into the substructure everytime I pass by the construction. not only the cost of construction materials is being considered here. you have to deal with the "bureau of customs" for the importation of these construction materials.... and thus the delay. this is beyond the control of the contractors and suppliers if BOC delays this.... delays that.... holds this.... and holds that.... so much for progress ey! I am not aware of this, thank you for the info sir Vatics :bow: I hope this could "relax" others who cannot wait for the delivery of their units..hehe :applause: i agree with the guard. in my random visits to that area, i saw tourist buses parking outside the hotel every time. how much more if CR's insane rides are already installed? Wow this is insane! :crazy2: I've noticed that most tourists that pass by our office are chinese, next are koreans. ^^so it's indeed true! :shocked: how much more when UR Fuente Tower and UR Prime are finished. it's gonna be one hell of a mega-complex. :shocked: :) it's been 8 freakin' months. :ohno: ^^the progress is awefully slow. they could have reached the ground floor by now. :bash: christie i was wondering if you can have this forum thread printed, show it to your bosses and ask if they can ever get this done? hehehe ok sir no prob:okay: PINOYmeat April 21st, 2008, 08:29 AM kasing tall ba ng crown regency ang ultima residences? ito ba yung loft type? federalist April 21st, 2008, 08:50 AM i never thought Fuente area will be like this. abi nko mas daghan skyscrapers sa CBP pero naunhan na noon.. thanks to Kings! nice Crown...:lol: Jarenz April 21st, 2008, 10:03 AM daghan pa naka in-line si King na High-Rise Projects... sixinchtower April 22nd, 2008, 07:08 AM correction pala. here's the latest update: as of April 15 2008 Ultima Residences Fuente Tower 396 out of 477 residential units are sold 83% sold units @rustyboi or @christie how about the parking? are parking sales as fast as the condo units? rustyboi April 24th, 2008, 07:01 AM not only the cost of construction materials is being considered here. you have to deal with the "bureau of customs" for the importation of these construction materials.... and thus the delay. this is beyond the control of the contractors and suppliers if BOC delays this.... delays that.... holds this.... and holds that.... so much for progress ey! if i'm not mistaken, UR Fuente Tower excavation started over a year ago. i think it boils down to the "contractor's" capability to deliver.

Grand Cenia is already in excavation works and Persimmons soon will start the construction. :ohno: with all the slow-motion construction going on in Fuente Triangle, we can't just blame it all to the bureau of kotongs, este customs. :lol: the construction of cicc was a special case because it had to be used for the asean summit thus "no delay" policy was imposed by that time, even bureau of customs will be answerable if importation papers will be questioned and will grossly affect the construction's pace. slimer May 16th, 2008, 03:40 PM passed by the area a while ago and i can see that the construction is now at street level.

rustyboi December 21st, 2008, 10:35 AM ^^it's separate. you have an option to buy one. a parking slot costs around P600,000.00 computation of price is per square meter. chuck23 December 21st, 2008, 01:38 PM ^^ This three buildings are really built (will be built) close together....sana medyo malayo pra maganda tignan.... diehardbisdak December 21st, 2008, 06:57 PM ^^ they designed those towers to be interconnected with each other so they can maximize that small lot they have which is IMO, the best spot in Cebu's uptown area... vatics December 22nd, 2008, 07:19 AM ^^ question bai....does one have to buy separately the car park slot in a condo or is it usually included in the package with the condo unit? there are developers who sell condos with free parking like syntech properties (citylights gardens). other condo developers sell the condo unit and car park separately (like ultima residences and amisa). some car parks are sold with title while others only their rights to use the parking slot assigned to a particular unit. if one has ownership over the parking slot then owners are responsible to pay property taxes annually. if ownership is limited to right to use or usufruct, then owners pay the property taxes annually similar to absolute ownership. the only difference is the payment of taxes during the transfer of title whereby absolute ownership requires the payment of capital gains tax and documentary stamp tax while the limited ownership (right to use) doesn't require payment of such taxes upon transfer of rights. check the terms of the agreement carefully in every condo project to avoid any misunderstandings with the developer. though agreements are lengthy, it takes prudence on the part of the buyer to review each terms and conditions written in every purchase agreements. rustyboi December 22nd, 2008, 09:33 AM ^^in your own view on this matter bro vatics, which would be the more "economical" way to have a parking slot when living in a condo? i can't seem to figure. hehe thanks! vatics December 22nd, 2008, 10:02 AM ^^in your own view on this matter bro vatics, which would be the more "economical" way to have a parking slot when living in a condo? i can't seem to figure. hehe thanks! condo living is a practical choice when proximity to your office and home is of primary importance. condo amenities and its aesthetic value come secondary. to help you decide whether to keep a parking slot or not, ask yourself how often you go out from your residence to nearby conveniences such as your office, shopping mall, supermarket, church, etc. if the frequency is relatively high to go from these places at one time, then it is advisable you keep a parking space since keeping a car with you will save you more transport cost than commuting. remember that condo living is living in convenience...so you must as well ride home conveniently. always value time and distance when investing in a condo. if you are planning to rent-out your unit when you're away or on vacation, it is important to keep a parking space. keeping one will be an extra marketing point when renting your condo since potential tenants may require a carport for their car especially executives. diehardbisdak January 22nd, 2009, 07:53 AM ...as of 17 January 2009 ...now working on 8th and 9th floor! flickr pics by @black_chains http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3443/3217194940_6021e90b94.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3486/3217192144_459a7d134e.jpg?v=0 http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3520/3216339675_bc780309e1.jpg?v=0 rustyboi January 22nd, 2009, 07:56 AM ...as of 21 January 2009 flickr pics by @black_chains http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3443/3217194940_6021e90b94.jpg?v=0 they're working on the 9th floor, going 10th floor. very fast! :applause: 18 levels more to TOP OFF. :cool: chuck23 January 22nd, 2009, 08:25 AM Wow! bilis pala nila magconstruct sa ika 9 floor na cla....tanx sa updates die! wheel of steel January 23rd, 2009, 01:59 AM ang bilis naman... :) Jarenz January 24th, 2009, 01:38 AM They're speeding up the construction... kay daghan pa kaayo naka in-lined projects ni King...

NOT a good idea. yeah. the condo units facing wall-to-wall with Club Ultima will get the least value i suppose. what can you do with a loft-type unit with windows totally blocked by a bare wall? :bash: at least, this building is about twice the height of Club Ultima, more units will still be able to take advantage of the daylight and the beautiful view of the metro.

Right. Same sa Innove Building sa CBP. wa pud 4th floor ug 13th floor. I think ngano ila gi '6M' is just to correct the numbering of floors.. so its like G 2 3 5 6 6M 7 8 9 10 11 12 14 14M 15 etc... in reality, sakto ra gihapon ang counting the floors. at least wala gi mention ang 4th ug 13th floor. Pero kung kahibaw ka mu ihap, 4th ug 13th gyud na. ambot unsa nakaon nila y ila ana-on? hehe Pwede ra sad 'Ground floor' or 8th floor tanan: A, B, C na lang daun. so 8A, 8B, 8c, 8d di ba? para unique sad. rustyboi February 21st, 2009, 08:48 AM Ultima Residences Fuente Tower 3 February 2009 updates www.ultimaresidences.com http://www.ultimaresidences.com/updates/tower-3-Feb_09/CIMG4306.JPG http://www.ultimaresidences.com/updates/tower-3-Feb_09/CIMG4310.JPG http://www.ultimaresidences.com/updates/tower-3-Feb_09/CIMG4328.JPG http://www.ultimaresidences.com/updates/tower-3-Feb_09/CIMG4314.JPG http://www.ultimaresidences.com/updates/tower-3-Feb_09/CIMG4315.JPG http://www.ultimaresidences.com/updates/tower-3-Feb_09/CIMG4318.JPG http://www.ultimaresidences.com/updates/tower-3-Feb_09/CIMG4316.JPG rustyboi February 27th, 2009, 02:14 PM Ultima Residences, Fuente Tower 3 Residential Loft units (showroom at F.

LordCarnal May 14th, 2009, 06:37 AM They're now working on the 16th floor! :banana: mwg12a May 14th, 2009, 09:24 AM I wonder why all these three building is planned that way? They are too close to one another, the residents inside wouldn't have a good view from all sides like a 360 degree angle. So those who bought a unit that is facing the other building would have an obstructed view and they won't have much privacy since they can be seen from the other building unless they have curtains or blind inside. I think it's a poor planning in that area otherwise the whole building and design looks really nice. mAiNsTrEaMhunter May 14th, 2009, 09:41 AM ^^ i guess the rooms with obstructive views would cost less than those that is free from obstruction. ;) rustyboi May 14th, 2009, 09:44 AM @Christie, thanks for the update. Tower 3 is looking good! :okay: I wonder why all these three building is planned that way?

I think it's a poor planning in that area otherwise the whole building and design looks really nice. The developer seems to maximize every square inch of that prime lot. it's common nowadays especially in Manila where some condominium units have obstructed view. either solid concrete from the adjacent building, or a panoramic view of the neighbor's bedroom :lol: it's always good for buyers to conduct some kind of a research before choosing which side of the building he's going to take. it may be difficult for those living abroad. some brochures only do a little help and in some cases are even misleading. like a brochure/print ad promising a "sea/ocean view" from your condo unit but ended up getting a rock solid wall view from another building being constructed. but i'm not saying Ultima Residences is doing that. hehe mwg12a May 14th, 2009, 09:52 AM Yeah, that is what I am trying to say. I for one is interested in a condo property in the Philippines and one of my top choice would be Cebu. Trouble is I am based overseas so if I buy a property there, I would really have to see to it that I have a good view in my unit. I'm sure this happens alot in the Philippines. I probably won't mind if the unit has an obstucted view but hopefully it's not as close as this one where the people from another building would see me walking around buttnaked in my living room almost real upclose and personal :lol: My choices are Ultima if i want my unit in the city or Amisa if it's just outside. I am not sure how far Amisa is from Cebu City proper. I know where club ultima is because it was real close to the hotel I've stayed in which is at Robinson Place on Fuente Osmena. ^^ i guess the rooms with obstructive views would cost less than those that is free from obstruction. ;) I'm sure it will, that's pretty much everywhere else in the world.
