It is strategically located between 32nd Street and 5th Avenue, with ideal access to FBGC's major gateways: Kalayaan Flyover, C-5 Upper East Gate and McKinley Road. Its proximity to major establishments at The Fort such as the new St. Luke's Hospital.. based on the site below..:D

magagawa kaya yan? remember the candy dispenser bdlg? asan na yun

This one is different as it has been publicly announced, last year pa nga eh, remember? This is the project that have been discussed several times already and everyone are just waiting for renderings and official launching. And there are already brochures per mention of an SSC forumer who had seen one.

That candy dispenser building on the other hand is just like a concept for the BGC Discovery hotel of HSAI-Raintree and didn't have any official public announcements about it except the ones mentioning the possibility of a BGC hotel for HSAI-Raintree.

----

This sculptural art piece will be part of the development as someone here mentioned before that the developers had already bought it.

also....what is this? taken by mon solo from flickr

it's like a structure or monument

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a91/EnozAnewor/monsolotaguig.jpg

it looks like skyscrapers....they should make it skyscrapers...it would be amazing!!!!"Transformation"

BY LOR CALMA. Transformation is a sculpture of three stacked laminated glasses, 5 to 10 meters in height, internally lit, and incorporating a system of cascading water set in a fountain pool. A unique venue for your corporate or private functions... enjoy an evening under stars with a fusion of glass, light, and water.

nice. who's the architect? didn't really like it at first glance but it's growing on me. if properly executed using top notch materials, this will be a stunning addition to the BGC skyline

it looks like a more colorful but static version of the rotating Dynamic Tower in Dubai. hehe

I hope that the bold exterior gets translated to the interior as well.

this is a step in the right direction IMHO, a statement that clearly sets it apart from the others.

very avant garde. i think it would be cool to be living in one of those units that juts out of the building.

sana hindi masyadong mahal. lots of people will hate it. some will love it.

^^yeah i agree. those kinds of projects are ambitious, yes. but that's how great people are made. first step is ambition. :)

i also think this will be an upscale project. I hope Essensa or Pacific Plaza type, with all the big cuts in sizes around 200-300sqm each. Nothing compares to those two condos in BGC yet IMO.. East Tower and Beaufort may be close, but not close enough to be compared to the two prime condos in BGC.

Still positive for the Waltz, sana nga prime sha.

The architecture is very radical I must say but interesting and nice and is a welcome addition to the Fort Boni skyline. But like the comment that was posted, I too, have my doubts as to whether this project would really push through and if ever it pushes through whether the actual structure would be faithful to the rendering we are seeing now. Remember there is also a project like this called Module Tower by a Korean developer (this one is by an Austrian developer). They, like Waltz were aggressively marketing their project. They both have released their renders and even made websites but look at Module now the project seems dead. It's been over six months already and I see no progress on the lot of Module no pre-selling whatsoever. Even the PSE which has a render released already is delaying/canceling/or moving whatever you want to call it, their project in the Fort. So unless I see a fence on their lot alrady and some excavation happening (like Shang at the Fort), I won't get my hopes up.

I thought that the city center lots are for commercial use?

That was one of the pitch that F1 City Center said...
They have a Hotel component that's why they were able to sell residential units...

Nice design and big cuts...
Smallest cut looks like 73 sq.m for 1 bedroom...
If this is anywhere close to Beaufort's price range then the minimum investment is conservative P9M...

The building is nice but not really excited about the location...
Very busy... For sure Noisy... Don't a have nice view compared to Beaufort and Shangri-La...
But it is closer to St.Lukes and Price Mart...

Shangri-La might be better buy at this price range...

But hands down the building will attract attention and people do like that...


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

For P9M... I still take a 2-Bedroom Bellagio 2 unit facing Manila Golf...

dunamis
October 17th, 2008, 11:11 PM
This is awesome. I think this is better than Shangrila. I see the European touch and feel of the condo. They don't scrimp on finishes and design like some Asian and Philippine developers do.

I'm glad than an Austrian developer has finally come to our islands to compete with the Rockwells, Ayalas and Shangrilas for the ultra high end market.

Wow awesome new project in BGC called The Waltz coming soon! Hart & Haring Bautrager GmbH, an Austrian group, is the developer on record.

I like this a lot. Remember Iconic building is something unusual or different. This is different so this is an Iconic building. the floor plan doesn't bother me at all...

Great landmark modern design!!! my only apprehension is the Property management ability to manage this intricate design...I think I am going to hold on to the thought of getting a unit here until the condo and all HOA laws in the Phils are fully and strictly enforced. I think it would take about 5 more years to get to that.... I see a lot of technical problems with this and exhorbitant HOA dues and one time fee assessment to fix common areas and the like in the long haul. I wonder how much money is needed to maintain this kind of building in the long run. This would probably cater to local people that make at least several million pesos a year and unit paid in full of course.

P.S. How much do you think is the monthly electric bill and the regular window cleaning cost that each unit owner would pay to live in this building?

wynngd
October 22nd, 2008, 04:47 AM
^^I agree, but at least one developer tried to lift the standard for building design in the country. Yeap I'm thinking about the electricity and maintenance too. But I think it will cost less to cool down the units here since the developer will use double glazed window which I think will make the units here cost a lot compare to other condominiums...

^^ Yes, it's the location from the developers website. And is also the location described in news articles ("...across St. Luke's.") last year or around early this year.

So guys, buy my unit in F1!...Assume balance only. :cheers:

Hi everyone, new at ssc here! :) If it pushes through, the Waltz would be incomparable with the other projects in BGC, except Shang siguro.

Does anyone know how many units will be available? :) it probably costs upwards of 150k/sqm. i remember a penthouse in Raffles was able to fetch 200k/sqm

Very high end project... Its a 46-storey residential condominium catering to the select-few, low-density with a total of 153 units and only 30 units to be sold in the Philippines and the rest will be sold in different countries at 16 units per country.

The unit sizes ranges from 73 sqm to 575 sqm with its own infinity swimming pool. A 73 sqm2 1 bedroom unit with 1 parking slot costs PHP 15,442,000 (w/ VAT). A 116 sqm2 2 bedroom unit with 2 parking slot costs PHP 20,954,063 (w/ VAT).

wow expensive nga!!! high-end naman kaya okay lang yan sa may kaya. plus the fact that the developer has very good reputation in austria. this project will never be "worth it" for those who can't afford but as for those "few" wealthy individuals then this unit's cost is nothing. i hope to see the rise of this building soon!

Pag naitayo ito, baka isa ito sa maging place of interest nating mga locals at foreigners alike.

15M/20M just for a unit? Magkano ba yung selling price ng units sa Pacific Plaza noon? Mas malaki o maliit?

Sana ganito ka-complex yet iconic yung mga structures dito sa Pilipinas.

Ang beggar siguro tignan yung iba kapag naitayo na to.

if im not mistaken, PP and Essensa are selling roughly $1M/unit nung bago palang ito. but that's 300++sqm unit. and the conversion at that time is around 25 to a dollar, so around 25M/unit. it lost half of it's value during the asian crisis but appreciated as much as 35M nowadays so bawi pa rin dun sa mga hindi nagbenta.

i really hope this gets built together with shang and PSE.

^^ Bakit ganyan kamahal yung PP & Essensa? Is it because of land value?

I really hope this Waltz thing gets built.

^^PP and Essensa are the only condos that have those large cut units. 300+ sqm, and prime location pa. there's no new condo yet to be considered par with these two in BGC at least. and it's worth it. :)

I see that the surrounding parts of the Lor Calma sculpture (called Transformations) at the corner of 5th Ave. have been torn down already for what reason I don't know. Is this a sign that The Waltz project will finally proceed and not be put on hold? Just curious if anybody has some scoop/update regarding this project...

Its seems that the "Iconic" projects are the ones getting canceled or delayed...
The Waltz, Module Tower, St.Regis, PSE, Shang... Wonder if this is just a coincidence?

Most of the time people tend to bash some projects that are not iconic, making it sound that they don't deserve to be built in BGC.
But it seems these non iconic buildings are the ones pushing through...

The sculpture remains. They did street widening so they had to chop some of the bottom structure. But the glass structure is still there...

There's no official announcement that this project is canceled. With the amount of work they put in this, it is at best postponed till market conditions improve.
