Saw an ad in PDI today about this, it's at the corner of Dela Rosa and Washington. Wondering if this will be where the basketball court is right now...

Can you post more details about the article? This should be near Chino Roces. - Thanks.

Thank you Superboy for that info.

That's 3 years of construction assuming they will have to start off right away.
"Again" probably means after what they have done with Fort Victoria in Fort Bonifacio.

they launched a lot of projects lately. including the one near SM North and one besides GMA 7.

i mean the 'comparing' stuff. placing affordable side by side with pricey ones in makati and FBGC will make us really compare. :)

thanks for the rendering and map superboy. based on the map, this will be very near the Cityland developments.

yeah, very near cityland condos already! i don't know if that's good or bad, hehe.

accessibility wise, it's good. dela rosa is my point of entry to the CBD everytime i come from the airport. (taxi lang ah) :)

it gets flooded also in that place, i think worse than in Oriental Place's location. i dunno how bad tho.

being near Cityland, I see nothing bad about it. although i also can't think of any benefit.

Yes, that area always gets flooded, usually up to knee-level. But I'm sure the flood problem will be solved in years time.

Good luck to this project. It's nice to have this in Makati! :cheers:

It looks like Victoria Station II:

The sequel to New San Jose Builders' Victoria Station:

From the Victoria Station II [res] Quezon City (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=736772) thread.

That part of Makati, what with the Cityland buildings etc., is beginning to look a lot like the Pioneer area in Mandaluyong. Plain, conrete boxy buildings dotting that area of Makati.

Victoria Station II looks a lot better. :D Sana ganyan din sa Makati

i reserved a unit, they will have an open house this Wednesday from 11AM to 8PM at the project site. Probably they'll start building the foundation soon.

very high density, but with large unit sizes... this one is a good investment for rental purposes... buy 3 units, rent can be as much as 15-20k for this development..

you mean 3 units then have them merged? what do you think about the rentability of the units jp? i guess they'd fare better than the neighboring citylands. and it's always easy to rent out units of smaller cuts than the huge ones.

san jose should try to give this one a topnotch property management.

by the way, got a flyer from waltermart last weekend. it says 3-BR has 42 something sqm. all 3 rooms at the loft level. units with loft levels are a come-on to buyers. look at GA Towers for instance.

^^ no do not have them merged.. rent them out separately.. buy one in lower floor, then mid, then upper...

for the affordable segment of developments, you're correct in saying smaller cuts rent out faster, so this would fare well for that purpose...

and i love the lofted units too.. its a catch, unless you mind the density.. but if i can read it correctly, there are 9 elevators, 2 of which are service elev and one stairwell. quite okay really..

most people who dwell in condominiums especially the young ones do not really mind living in high density towers. it serves the purpose anyway - having a place you can call your home, and your own. plus they don't stay inside in most hours of the day anyway. so you're right jp. then let's go and reserve for 3 units now. :D

i guess i'll see you guys tonight. kidding :nuts:
i'm really excited about this project since I getting my own unit. Hope it turns out better than QC Victoria Towers, which I really like btw.

I dont know how to interpret architectural renderings, but does the perspective look like a combination of glass and claddings? or are the colors just blue and white paints? (silly question, i know)

I dont think it's high-density since it's designed to look like back-to-back Es, I guess that's for natural lighting and ventilation. But if high-density is a technical Archi term, then I must be wrong with my assumption :)

^^ its high-density....

i think high-density means
many units per floor but
don't quote me on this one

:lol:

alright then :)

I want to reserve a unit. Its very ideal place.. near the Makati CBD.. although the area gets flooded but flooding does not occur everyday naman.. so ok lang...

i will try to call the numbers posted on their advertisement tarpaulins in the site..

They promised a December 2009 delivery for their taft tower. Its now 2010 and although topped off, their building seems very raw in its construction phase. It is yet to be painted and some of the re-bar works are still exposed.

i think high-density means
many units per floor but
don't quote me on this one

:lol:

I see what your getting at bro, hahah. It is pretty confusing, but "high-density" refers to a high number of occupants that a single dwelling would accomodate in a residential development. :)

...which is also proportional to the number of units. So the smaller the cuts of the units are, the more units there will be in a floor, and the more occupants there will be. :)

Don't quote me on this. :lol:

...which is also proportional to the number of units. So the smaller the cuts of the units are, the more units there will be in a floor, and the more occupants there will be. :)

you do have a point there bro. ok then. i guess we can therefore conclude that this is a high-density, low-cost development :lol:

I think the drainage in the area has improved. Heavy rains don't usually result to flooding. It is near to my friend's condo, Oriental Garden.

natakot naman ako nito...

Hi, i purchased unit in this development but would like to sell. anyone interested to assume balance and pay the amounts i already invested at a discounted price?

went to their office sa harap and they said 1st quarter 'daw' ng 2013 matatapos...i think mga end of 2013 ang realistic date.

With more construction, buildings and density, flood situation will only get worse.

The flood situation is not that bad. Sure it gets flooded when it rains but it ebbs just as soon as the rains stop. It's not as if the floods stay there for hours. And it doesnt get flooded too when it's high tide.

Work at 35 Makati building projects stopped

by Ferdinand Fabella

THE Makati city government has ordered all construction work stopped at 35 high and medium-rise buildings in the city that were found to have violated the National Building Code and the Philippine Mechanical Code.

City Engineer Nelson Morales said they issued the work stoppage orders following the inspections of ongoing construction projects in the city.

The inspections were conducted from January to the second week of February.

“Many of the buildings inspected by our engineers were found not complying with a number of provisions under the national building and mechanical codes. We need to ensure the strict and full compliance of these projects with safety standards specified by the law,” Morales said in his report to Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay Jr.

The 35 buildings ordered to cease construction works are: Eton Belton Place, Senta Tower, Avida Tower I, Mercedes Hotel, Antel Serenity Tower, One Pacific Place, RAM Tower, The Residences at Greenbelt;

Jazz Residence, KL Mosaic, Fairmont & Raffles Residences, Laureano de Trevi, The Oriental Place, Greenbelt Madison, The Columns, Avida Towers, Gramercy Project, Glorietta Redevelopment, Cityland M.E.T., Eton Greenbelt Residence, Mosaic Tower;

The Beacon Tower, Avida Towers San Lorenzo, One Rockwell, Alphaland Makati Place, Discovery Primera, Grand Midori, One Central Project, Edades Tower & Garden Villas, Victoria de Makati, Dohle Building, Stratford, Diamond Residences, Greenbelt Excelsior, and Megawide Construction.

Morales said the stoppage order will be lifted once the developers have corrected the violations and are found to be in full compliance with both the National Building Code and Philippine Mechanical Code.

The violations include the lack of conspicuous warning signs and fans or catch platforms and safety nets to protect pedestrians and motorists from falling objects, lack of safety belts and other protective gear for the workers, poorly maintained mechanical equipment like scaffolds, lack of proper barricades or guardrails alongside floor openings, and lack of a building permit from the City Building Official.

The city engineers intensified its inspection of construction projects in Makati after 10 workers of Eton Residences Greenbelt in Paseo de Roxas Avenue died when the mechanical lift they riding on collapsed.

Police have formally charged with reckless imprudence resulting in multiple homicides and serious physical injury five construction officials over the deaths.

They were Eduardo Piñon, project manager Engineer Guillermo Torres, project-in-charge Jason Roselle, safety officer Ian Lester Agpoon, and Engireer Sonny Romero.

Torres, Roselle, and Agpoon are from the Arlo Aluminum Glass Construction Corp., subcontractor of C-E Construction, which is the general contractor of the 39-storey Eton Residences Greenbelt located at the corner of Gallardo Street and Paseo de Roxas Avenue.

Romero is the project officer of Jose Aliling Construction Management Corp., which is also in contract with C-E.

Piñon is from the EM Piñon Construction, which subcontracted the 10 workers to Arlo.

end of 2013 na ang target turnover nito per my last visit sa showroom nila. And the terms are competitive.. around P2.3Mio lang for a 40sqm+ loft unit. Yup, medyo high density siya in terms of number of units per floor but there are only around 15 residential floors with over 10elevators...

^^^^

I won't touch these condos with a ten foot pole. Mukhang prison buildings. Congested. No breathing space. Tenement housing yata ito. There are other decent condo buildings in Makati. Besides the developer appears to be a fly-by-night company. BUYERS BEWARE.

Victoria units are delivered with rough finishes. You have to spend around 300,000 more to make it livable.

natatawa nga ako sa agent nila, pinagpipilitan nyang may infinity pool sila, pati sa brochure nakalagay ang infinity pool as one of their amenities... Pero ang nakadrawing na picture ng swimming pool sa brochure nila is regular pool lang, hindi naman infinity. When i clarified this wid d agent, infinity pool daw talaga yun, hindi lang daw halata sa drawing na korteng 8 ang pool... Natameme nalang ako, i knew then this is not one developer i cud trust my money with.

meron kayang i install na grease trap sa mga kitchen sink dito. sa victoria de manila kasi ni re require ngayon. kung kailangan talaga yon para hindi ma clog ang mga pipelines dapat pag turn-over ng unit meron na naka install. additional gastos tuloy sa mga unit owners..:ohno:

hi everyone! are there any recent updates on the construction of this project? or has this project even started construction na ba? if anyone has pics to post for updates, that would really be appreciated as i am not in makati right now... thanks...

hi! i passed by washington-buendia yesterday and i'm not sure if you can call it "construction on-going" but i saw some red beams protruding already. good sign?

is there any problems regarding fort victoria makati.?? any update? i heard may mga nag rerekla mo na daw..

another thing.. bakit un website nila walang contact number? duh

kinakalawang na ang victoria de makati!!!:lol:

ano latest d2 may crane na ba???

ano latest d2 may crane na ba???

Ang alam kong latest dito is sa SEPT 2012 na ang turn over,pero wala man lang construction update sa site ng SJBC..7 months more to go TO na..Does anybody here want to share some pics of the building kong nakatayo na nga...

I am glad I found this forum as it is providing an important insight into what is happening over there.

I am looking at a possible investment in unit here and do now have some concerns that it will actually get off the ground.

Do the developers have a good track record on past constructions?

ala siguro to??

Traditional square building. Hopefully, future constructions would provide some modern sleek buildings for the younger crowd.

From the looks of the render you would think they're constructing it on a golf course lol, but the area is anything but that... very deceiving. As far as the design is concerned all I can say is ... YAWN :yawn:

Anyone interested in buying a unit here? I'm planning to re-sell the unit I started paying just for a year now. All you have to do is continue paying the plan I have and pay the ones I made. This assures you of the same rate when I processed it.

any construction pic??? baka tapos na???

may tinayo sila rebars a few months ago.. until now un pa din kinalawang na and wla pang cranes... I think they just placed it there para masabi na construction on going.

kamusta na to'!! updates?

^^
malabo na 'to. dito nga sa victoria de manila nag check yung isang unit owner sa supplier ng elevator, kaya naman daw pala hindi ginagawa kahit under warranty pa yung mga sirang elevators is allegedly hindi pa daw fully paid ang nsjb sa kanila at hindi na daw nagbabayad. :ohno:

prediction turn over date: 2017

Taken more than 2 months ago. Sorry akala ko kasi naipost ko na sa SSC noon, nasa flickr ko pa lang pala.
At ngayon may actual photo na, baka ngayon ganito pa rin ito o konti lang nagbago.

nice u|c na pala :)

I feel sorry for the people who bought a unit on this project. Looking at the picture above, it will take at least a couple of years before this gets delivered.

A ray of hope:

One thing for sure, this one has a license to sell which I confirmed thru HULRB. And according to their license to sell agreement, they should be able to finish it before the end of December 2013.

Aside from the Maceda law. they are bound by the policy of HULRB to finsih it according to schedule. Now, in case this will not happen, we have the right to discontinue ammortization payment after Dec. 2013 until it is finished. Of course, we need to give them a notice, in case. And if we want to discontinue totally, we are entitled for full refund due to their faIlure to comply the terms. That is according to the agreement attached with their license to sell.

Personally, I will wait till December 2013. If by that time I can see more progress, I will wait even another year of delay. If no progress at all, I will request already for full refund.

very high density, but with large unit sizes... this one is a good investment for rental purposes... buy 3 units, rent can be as much as 15-20k for this development..
Tama ka leechtat, maganda ngang investment ito lalo na kung ipaparenta mo. Kung for rental purposes lang ang pagbili ng mga condo units, anong unit type ang pinakamagandang kunin?

was here about a week ago, took some pics as well. grabe, parang walang pinagbago. or maybe ganun nga talaga kasi foundation nga naman, but 2 towers with 22 floors until next year december? hmmm. parang pwede pa naman, for just the 1st tower? pero knowing na nilaunch ang project na to since 2009, err.:/

maganda ang units nila dito na bi-level, and hindi naman pala ganun kababa ang floor to ceiling of both floors. and affordable considering the location. don't like the floor layout, parang insect, kawawa mga nasa inner units.

hopefully they still do deliver on time, para matirhan na rin ng new family ng cousin ko.:)

I dropped by last wednesday to take a photo sana pero di ko na tinuloy. Kase ganoon pa rin hitsura niya. One agent was busy explaining along the road to some prospective clients. And I asked her when is the turn over date of the project. She said, 2013 - 2014. Grabe sa range ha! LOL! Anyway baka first tower, 2013 para they can fulfill license agreement nila and 2014 yung second tower. Hahahaha!

But all around the vicinity, puro projects na rin for construction and I could foresee a major jump in real property price in the future. The corner of Washington where it use to be a Mercury drug store and the areas of the shops together with it is now perimeter-fenced with the big name on it, FIL-INVEST.

Great investment, still. Sana ayusin lang nila pintura ng di matulad sa Victoria Station I na napi-peel na.

Diba? Kaya nga di na ako nagpost ng kinuha kong picture eh.:lol: December nga pa rin sinabi sa akin eh, kundi early January 2014 raw.

Mahiya naman sana sila kung mauunahan pa sila ng ibang projects jan.:lol:

Yep, great investment pa rin. Tuloy lang mga kumuha dito, it's still worth the wait naman. Wag lang sana nila masyadong i-extend IF they don't deliver on time. Investors are thinking when are their ROIs are coming.

Any latest pic about this project kac yun promise nila noon na turn over iba so pano na kaya ang terms of payment? As for me ok lang medyu madelayed basta it will turn out good project also dapat yun payment of schemes tuloy as dati..

i wasn't able to take a pic when i passed by about a week ago, but there's already a crane and construction is mobilizing.

Mike, when I was there last end of August, the crane is already there. Just hoping you saw actual "mobilization".

And really hoping it will be completed, especially before the lump sum balance payment. I've read stories of their other Victoria projects where buyers were still required to fulfill the lump sum payment of balance even when the project is not turned-over yet. I don't want to go to legal processes as much as possible.

yeah i noticed the crane a long time ago, then i saw it was moving steel bars last week. that's my term of "mobilization".:lol: less it was just a one time thing. and i'm not entirely sure on this, because it's night time when i saw that. meh, i'll just confirm it next time I pass by.

I hope they are not trying to give just a "little ïmpression".

Just want to remind you guys, someone posted in pinoyexchange about Fort Victoria, same Victoria brand as Makati under SJB. He was asked to pay full balance, even the project is not turned over yet.

Victoria Makati's license to sell stipulate end of Dec. 2013 as the turn over of project. Will decide later but is gathering plans of action just in case.

Does anybody here na naka recieved ng letter stating na pinagbabayad na tau according daw sa contract to sell e wala pa nga akong contract to sell..

In my case, I think after 4-5 months of monthly ammortization may contract na kami. The contract is a little vague, I just realized recently. Pero mao-over-rule yata iyan sa requirements nila sa License to Sell na binigay sa kanila.

Does anybody here na pinag babayad na ng TCP kasi they are asking me to pay TCP na or inhouse financing with a certain interest a year e hanggan 2nd floor pa lang ang buildoing,,Whats this ,a new policy ng SJBC e pano pag ilan taon pa bago matapos ang building..I bought a unit here for investment..
Any new picture sa mga co homeowners ko dito?

Thanks bonel2012.

We appreciate very much your photo updates. Hope you will continue posting!

cheers

You're welcome :). We are in the same shoe... that's why I posted those pics to you guys who bought a unit of VDM.

... Naging busy ang contractor ng project this past week! Sa Cityland Makati Executive Tower ako nakatira.

Salamat sa pag share ng mga pictures, malaking tulong ito sa mga wala sa Pilipinas para makita yung project... puro bad comments pa mababasa mo online kaya lagi kong pinag iisipan kung paano ma pullout yung nabayad ko... 800k na din nabayad ko sa kanila...

last year nung umuwi ako sakto na natapos na yung downpayment, nakipag talo pa talaga ako kasi gusto akong singilin ng amortization with interest... sino ba naman papayag sa kalokohan na yun... wala pa silang nadedeliver na unit sisingilin ako ng interest....

at least umuusad yung project sana tuloy tuloy na

Hello Bogitto, I had the same experience last year. I negotiated with them and now I am continuing my monthly payment but without the interest. So lahat ng monthly payments ko are deducted from the principal. Not sure if this is the best arrangement, but better than paying interest.

We should not pay interest because we have not received anything from them.

... Naging busy ang contractor ng project this past week! Sa Cityland Makati Executive Tower ako nakatira.

thanks regie sa update!

VlSAcanada21 i think ok na yung arrangement na yun basta bawas sa principal. although mas maganda kung yung lahat ng payments natin that is more than the 20 percent down payment is going into an escrow account tapos makukuha lang nila once they complete the project. makaka 1 year na ako ulit and im going to contact them soon para sa next set of payments for 2013. hirap nga lang mag asikaso kasi nan dito ako sa states

Don't worry guys, may habol tayo dito dahil stipulated sa license to sell nila na turn-over is before end of December 2013.

Pag hindi na-fulfill iyan, we can file for full payment sa lahat ng binayad natin.

May ganyang kaso na sa Victoria de Manila 2. Nakuha niya full payments niya.


I might just hold-on to this, good investment na rin. Yung kahabaan near sa buendia, nademolish na at FIL-INVEST ang brand na nakalagay.

May hotel pang gagawin sa halos tapat ng Victoria de Makati.

I think the value of our investment will appreciate in no time.

Sonnykhemist, dami na palang developments sa area na yun... sa Cityland Dela Rosa ako nakatira nung nasa Pinas pa ako 2008 - 2011

Yup. Yung sa may buendia, corner ng washington, ang landmark doon ay yung mercury drug store sa corner. Tapos Makati townhouse hotel ang second floor ng mahabang building doon. Yung ground floor, iba-ibang establishments dati; ranging from copy center, carenderia, night bar, etc.

We use to stay kasi before sa small cheap hotel sa second floor. And as a bachelor, sa Santillan st, nearby, naman ako tumira.

Sana nga lang maayos ang building at matapos on time......

Hey Guys have you heard na sa May na daw ang turn over this year at grabe ang ginagawa nila sa isang co home owners unit natin kasi talga pinipilit syang pagbayarin at pinadalhan pa sya ng demmand letter kasi nga ayaw nyang magbayad ng interest kasi dpa tapos ang building at gusto pang IN HOUSE Financing tapos ayaw syang sagutin sa fone pag tumatawag at yun pala balak nilang ILITIN or kunin ang unit ng ganun ganun lang samantalang bayad na sya　ng DP..

Gusto nila sumunod sya sa lahat ng gusto nila na magbayad ng interest sa TCP at per month ang interst gaya ng pinipilit sa mga co home owners natin na magbayad ng interest...Grabe, sabi sa knya sa MAY 2013 na raw ang TURN OVER kasi nag complain ang unit owner bakit magbabayad ng ineterest e wala pang building ayun pinahaba ng opinahaba at di sumasagot sa fone ang victoria sabay yun pala balak ilitin ng ganun ganun....

@chededeng, kung ipipilit ng NJSB na mag bayad ng interest sa tingin ko nasa buyers ang lahat ng legal rights para tumanggi, not sure kung ano ang rights natin, gusto ko sanang i-review yung contract na pinirmanahn ko kaso wala naman akong copy dito naiwan sa pinas

kakausapin ko ulit yung contact ko sa NJSB since wala na yung original agent ko... panibagong set na naman ako ng payments starting april

Kung sino man iyang co-home owner na iyan, i-refer mo na lang kay VISACANADA21, check mo message niya sa taas. Di siya nagbabayad ng interest, continue na lang monthly ammortization niya.

Pero kung wala pa rin, I think pwede na siyang magreklamo sa HLURB. Malinaw doon na walang full payment kung walang turn-over.

HIndi rin sonny kasi yun isang kilala nga nya na extend sya HINDI ,,nag complain sya alam mo ang sagot HINDI daw sila pareho ng contrata ngee e halos magkasabay nga bumili yun nakasabay na extend yun isang unit owner ,,,YAN din ang sabi sakin Magkaka iba daw ng contrata ..Sa May na raw ang TURN OVER kasi yun din ang sabi s sakin hanggan ngaun nakikipag laban pa ako dyan sa interest na yan at Extend ng monthly ammortazation.....Im not a first time buyer akala ko yun isang nabili kong unit sa The fort e malala kasi nag turn over ng dpa totalyy tapos ammenities ( ammenities lang un) daming nag complain e mas Malala to wala pang building nag tuturn over na. pinaka the best na nabilhan ko CITYLAND at CROWN ASIA yun cityland ko nga nagbalik ng 3K sakin when i got my Title sabi sakin nasobrahan bayad ko...Crown asia or Villar company HINDI nag tuturn over hanggat di tapos talga lahat ang building at kung ano pinangako ginagawa ng higit pa....

Hello Bogitto, I had the same experience last year. I negotiated with them and now I am continuing my monthly payment but without the interest. So lahat ng monthly payments ko are deducted from the principal. Not sure if this is the best arrangement, but better than paying interest.

We should not pay interest because we have not received anything from them.

Yan din pinaglalaban ko ngaun na deretso angsame ammortization ko na walang interest at yun dating binabayaran ko pareho pa rin..naku grabee

What happened to me was nung nandito ako sa Canada sinisingil na ako ng interest, then I sent them a letter questioning them and citing the details of the contract. Nung ayaw pa rin nila, nag -send ako ng letter na whatever payments na gagawin ko sa kanila, it will be under protest. Yun ang advise ng lawyer na tinanong ko para hindi ako ma-default. Nagkataon bakasyon ko sa Pinas kaya nakipag set ako ng meeting sa Accounting at sa Customer Care (not sure exact name ng department), then they asked me to write a letter to the Vice President asking for a reconsideration. After one week nakatanggap ako ng reply na ni-revise na yung amortization ko not to include interest. Pero hanggang May 2013 lang un. Sabi ko pano kung di pa tapos sa May 2013 ung building, sabi ie-extend nila yung no interest amortization ko.

hi co unit owners! i bought one unit last April. when did u got yours at sinisingil na kayo ng interest? so far, nasa 4th floor na ang construction. Every sat ako nadaan dun. i guess they're trying to beat the dec 2013 turnover para di na magpull out ang investors like us. I bought this for rental income kasi since it's Makati.

Sa mga unit owners who live in Manila, can we meet so that we can organize just in case my legal proceedings na mangyayari? Im reading negative feedbacks about the project and it is not good for our investment. Pag nabasa kasi to ng potential buyers for resell cases, sa tin ding unit owners nggagaling ang negative feedback.

Here's my no. 0919-2771595. or PM me at cjrlopez21@gmail.com. Thanks!

Tabingi pa mga poste, parang hindi residential high rise ang ginagawa. Parang walang engineer. O baka may engineer, bopols lang. Paano kaya pumapasa ito sa city government of makati? Makati, hello?.

4 floors in more than 3 years? Good luck talaga.

Hello CRJLopez21, any news sa discussion mo with NSJBI?

panu mo nasabing tabingi? nasa hulog kaya. bka nmn ung splice ng steel reinforcement ng poste ang sinabi mong tabingi eh wala pang ties kya malamang tabingi ang tingin mo. pumunta knba personally before you post that kind of comment sa site?

.7 magnitude.. hahahhahahahahh:nuts:

Tendatu,
Are you one of the engineers of NSJBI? If yes, itanong ko lang kung may project schedule kayong sinusundan at kailan ba ang completion date ng Victoria de Makati?
May mga QA/QC engineers at inspectors ba kayo para ma-sure ang quality ng trabaho?
Sana naman pag-butihin ninyo para walang mababasang negative comments dito at para masiyahan naman kaming nag-babayad ng perang pinaghihirapan namin.

I am going home in May to negotiate again my monthly payments not to be charged interest on it. By May this year mahigit 30% na nababayad ko.

Very stressful!

Ako nga nag-shot ng picture na yun, paanong hindi ko pa sya nakikita ng personal. Ah siguro anino ko lang yung humawak ng camera. Halos araw-araw akong dumadaan dyan papasok ng trabaho! At halos araw-araw din akong napu-frustrate sa structural quality nya at sa tagal ng progress. Napabili ako ng unit dyan dahil sa promise na turn-over na raw sya sa Dec. 2013. Well, kasinungalingan lang pala dahil from January 2013 to March, 3rd floor lang ang nadagdag, at sa ganoong rate na 1 floor per three months, I doubt na ma-turn over yan sa December 2013.

At I dare everyone na makakapunta dyan at silipin nyo yung mga poste especially yung anggulo na kinunan ko ng picture (washington st. corner urban avenue) at tingnan nyo kung totoo yun sinasabi kong hindi perpendicular yung mga poste. Eto pa bonus, iusog nyo bandang kaliwa ang paningin nyo at makikita nyo yung stairs na ewan kung anong stairs yun (sana hindi fire exit) at bahala na kayong humusga kung magkakasya ba ang paa nyo sa mga steps dun. Oh baka naman ako lang ang mali at si tendatu ang tama dahil hindi naman ako mason, engineer, architect or whatever, kaya ang payo ko, huwag nyo nalang akong paniwalaan, pumunta kayo sa site at see for yourself. I-compare nyo nalang din yung makikita nyo sa victoria de makati sa ibang high rise buildings na under construction din ang structure. See for yourself.

At ikaw naman tendatu, kung engineer ka na nakakaalam ng mga bagay-bagay, sagutin mo nalang ang tanong ni bonel2012 para matuwa naman kami sayo.

My husband and I also purchased two units in Victoria De Makati back in April 2009. We finished paying the 20% down payment with zero interest in April 2012. We were hoping that by 2012, we can already apply for a pag-ibig loan to pay the remaining 80%. We live in Cityland Tower 3 so every day, on our way to work, we get a glimpse of the construction site. I started having doubts about the 2012 turn over date because of its very, very slow progress.

It's already disappointing that the construction was delayed, but what was even more frustrating was when they asked us to pay another 10% in just 12 months. We couldn't afford the increase and could not agree to their terms so we ended up writing a letter to some Architect that we will just continue paying the same amount. We later found out that all of our succeeding payments were deducted from the interest.

So out of frustration, we sought some legal advice and had our contract reviewed by a lawyer. The sad part is we can't really take any legal steps because everything that is stated in the contract is in favor of NSJBI. It was our first time to purchase a real estate property, we were very naive back then.

Just a week ago, we went back to NSJBI office in Timog to give another set of 12 PDCs. And much to our surprise, my husband's account was cancelled last September 2012. The reason is just down right outrageous: they couldn't reach us in our old home address, so they assumed that we moved out. They therefore decided to cancel my husband's account, just like that. But when they checked our payment record, everything is up to date. They apologized to us and said that they will reinstate the account. It’s been more than a week and I haven’t received a single update yet.

So a word of advice to other co-unit owners, please check your account’s status as well. It’s a hard lesson learned but we will not give up so easily. We will be going back to their office to set things straight. I didn't bother asking them about the turn over date because it's pointless. Nobody in that office will give you an honest answer. We can only hope and pray that our hard earned money will not go to waste.

Hello Mawsse,

It is so unfortunate that these things are happening just because this company is ran by incompetent people.

I would suggest you meet with their Customer Relations officer (not finance) and request them to reverse the interest charged to you and your future payments.

My argument is I have not received anything of value from your company, so no interest should be charged. There was no turn-over, no nothing. They should be the one paying for interest for using our money for four years now.

When was the last time you saw the construction site? Any possibility they can finish this in December 2013?

Hi po. Kakapareserved ko lng po sa vdm. And Ngayon ko Lang po nakita ang reviews;(. Ask ko Lang po sana adv nyo Kung dapat ko pang Ituloy. Baka po masayang ang hulog namin pagtagal,kami po e OFW na maliliit Lang ang sweldo.ty

Ilang sq.m. yung unit ang kinuha mo at magkano price?

Kafile ko lang ng refund based sa Maceda law last May 3. Prior to that, naghahanap ako ng buyer para tansfer na lang sana.

Big advantage kasi 2011 pa kami nagsimula at pag natransfer sa ibang buyer, kung magkano ang pice noon, yun din ang magre-reflect.

If you are interested, post ka dito and let me know. Mas mahal na ang selling price ngayon eh. Pagnatransfer ko sa iyo, tubo ka na kaagad sa appreciation.

I have differing opinions sa forum but the main reason kaya ko sinurender ay nahihirapan kami sa budget kasi kamomove-in lang namin sa isang condo unit. In fact two of my relatives still have VDM.

Let me know if you are interested. Maybe I can still pull-out my refund request letter.

This goes to anyone who is interested by the way.
