^^ anyway, location is quite excellent. u'r still in the midst of everything!

I agree, one of the reasons I invested in this place too. Location is the best coupled with the price when I got it. Nung Feb 2005, which is one year after the official launch, I got my unit at 33,800/sqm pa lang. Digging at the site has just started then. The ones who got at the offiicial launch on Feb 2004 got theirs for around 28,000/sqm only!!! Now it is at around 52,000/sqm, with the 15.5% interest for deferred payment up to 4 years of the 65% of total contract price, 35% due on the 49th month.

Panalo pa rin because of the location. Ortigas Center is in the middle of all.

I'm 100% sure rentals here would not be scarce, pag aagawan pa nga sigurado. For those who are going to live in it, you are just a walk away from malls, schools, churches, any kind of transportation, and work! Ang ganda di ba?

:banana: :banana: :banana:

u also hav a unit here?! amazing!! he he! congrats!! :banana:

Thanks! Yes, 34th floor. Nahuli na nga ako ng 1 year from launch, pero okey pa rin price-wise.

I heard they are turning the project over either December or 1st quarter next year. Lapit na!!:banana:

that's true, i recently purchased a unit here, 36th floor @54,000/sq.m ok lang coz the turnover is gonna be 1Q 2008 according to my agent. Ok na rin even if i bought it at a higher price coz i could rent it out a few months from now.

I always hate cityland buildings but i always buy from them, i think they jinxed me!!:poke:

i was just looking at the floor plan of CER and wondering what's it like to live in a windowless unit? Especially the one beside the lifts, makatulog ka kaya?

The pros living in an inner unit is the cool environment, you don't have to turn on your aircon, especially if you are on the mid-floors. A breezy fan is okey. The unit you mentioned also is very cheap that's why this type got sold out quickly. As with the elevators, the walls are thick enough and you won't feel the movement. You would just hear the "ting" sound when it gets to your floor, same as the unit right in front of the elevator.

The cons are of course no view, and you won't know if it is raining or not. Sometimes you'd think that it is still nightime and it's harder to wake up. But for call center agents, I think this is more than a pro than a con.

But of course if you have more bucks, don't get this unit, get an outer 1-br at least from this building and get the one with a good view and better, a balcony to boot!:)

They may not be great aesthetically but in all others, apparently they are...

unbelievable

^^ I believe this is old news already?? see earlier posts on this thread jones_hamilton. That philcomcen fire last March was because of the works done on the tower above. Now, the tower is long gone. And this incident did not do any damage on the CER structure, the fire was contained immediately.

Anyway, anyone has updates on this project?? i see that they have painted a big portion of the exterior already.

I was just thinking, if the One ADB Avenue Center doesn't push thru and gets replaced with a different project, then PhilComCen will have to be torn down. Won't it be too dusty demolishing it? Considering that it faces the CCER directly, it will somewhat be an inconvenience to them CCER residents.

Anyone here knew about building implosion being done in the philippines for the likes of PhilComCen? Wonder if it has any effect on CER if ever they do it on the said building

I wish there was but no one does building implosions here in the Philippines. Old buildings get torn down the primitive way.

^^ Yes, just like the former Manila Midtown Hotel. Before the three tower Adriatico Place Residences and Robinsons Place Manila Midtown Wing got built, they had to wait for the hotel to finish manual demolition, so slow.

Should be a good business although I think getting the permits would be a big headache. This is aside from the problem of usiseros getting too near the demolition site during the implosion.

Hey, maybe we could get rid of the much hated Jaka building along Ayala once and for all using the implosion technique. And accomplishing it quickly! :bash:

Mukhang hindi na One ADB Avenue Center itong gagawin sa Philcomcen. From the grapevine, looks like Robinson's has already acquired this property, or at least has gone into a joint venture with GSIS. Purely residential condominium daw and gagawin.

Wow, ang ganda ng location! Corner lot! Even better because it is bordered by 3 streets - Ortigas Avenue, ADB Avenue and Sapphire Road.

Good also for CER, since their units will surely shoot up since Robinson's will surely develop a more upscale project, maybe similar to their Galleria Regency because of this prime location.

Hmm...another project to look out for.:banana:

Just passed CER today, and noticed the Emerald side of the building being painted, probably 60% complete.

Taken yesterday, external painting almost 75% done. 3 of 4 sides painted.

Looking good!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/w318/boolateh/CERJuly07a.jpg

Since external works has been done more than 3 months back, looks like Cityland will have another project delivered 6 months ahead of schedule!

To all investors, cheers! :cheers1:

^^ wow, 6 months AHEAD of 'initially declared' date of delivery?!!
citiland deserves a standing ovation:cheers:
There's just no questioning the honorable/respectable owners of this rather humble company. Mapagkakatiwalaan.

quite distressing and frustrating to those who aligned themselves with 'bigger' and 'more prestigious' developments, who will have their delivery dates 6 months, if not years, later than what was declared initially.

btw, quite refreshing to see mature trees around that area, when i thought ortigas center(aside from san miguel complex) was just a concrete jungle:cheers:

the color looks good., :)

yes, not bad at all . . .

I just did a mini walk today at Ortigas Center, took another update for St. Francis and Soho and Cityland, but from a different angle than that I posted.

Pagdating ko ng Gold's Galleria, warm-up ko na yung lakad from Julia Vargas-EDSA to Galle kaya 4 minute threadmill na lang instead of ten, kasi naglakad na naman ako eh, pwede na yun, di pa ako nakakarating sa gym basa na ako ng pawis, kamusta naman yun. Pero natuyo naman ako sa aircon.

P.S. Pasensya na at di malinaw, pahamak kasi yung mga power lines eh, instead of the autofocus locking-in on CCER, it locked focus on the wires.

Hey! They just posted a huge new banner on the CER building facing Mcdonalds along Emerald Avenue. Tumaas na yung "own a unit for as low as..." from 10,600+ to 12,500+ na!!!

Investors, congrats! The price of the units appreciated AGAIN and this is also a sign that the turnover is just around the corner. Mukhang more than 6 months ito ahead of schedule ah! Wow!:banana:

latest update as of July 12 :

construction status : 86% completed

number of units sold : 89.2%

I was told that there's going to be an "open house" on Sep 27, 28 and 29.
Parking will be at the 2nd level and access will be via the Sapphire road.

They'll be showing the actual 1br, 2br and 3br units at the 37th floor.
Please contact your agents to confirm the dates

Hello neighbors! It's time to see your much awaited investment at Cityland Corinthian Executive Regency. It's confirmed, we are all invited for a grand open house from Sept 27 till 29, 8:30am to 5:30pm. I'm so excited!! I might be able to see my unit din, a few floors down lang from the 37th viewing floor.

Many surprises in store also for prospective buyers. PM me if anyone is interested to take a sneak peek and I can wait for you there.

For those who have cars, you can take the Sapphire entrance and park on the 2nd level. Then take the elevator up to the 37th floor.

Yey!!! Sabi na nga ba maaga turnover nito eh!:banana:

hi boolateh, will you be able to post some pictures? I've got a unit actually 1 floor below on the 36th. Hope they can confirm the possible turnover date, i'm feeling very positive about an early one knowing cityland.

@crossroads, ask ko lang , how's the vito cruz area in terms of investment/leasing out etc? I'm not really familiar with vito cruz aside from being near schools so probably most of the lessee's are students, am i right?

boolateh's reply to me in stamford thread:
(And j.r., yung name ko is Boolateh, not bolateeh or bolaateh...wrong spelling pardz! ...and don't call me miss!! Boolateh nga eh, thanks.hehehe )

so which is which? he or she? :nuts:

don't tell me i was right all along... or is someone playing games with one's head (no pun intended lol!)?

Soooo super excited, I had to go to the open house this morning. I was directed to park at the 2nd floor from the Sapphire Road parking entrance. The incline was kinda steep but there are ridges placed to avert the cars from skidding back...kidding!

Anyway, the much awaited open house...ta-daaaaaa!!!!

The main entrance lobby was quite nice, with mirrors. Here's a pic at the lobby looking out to Ortigas Avenue. Nakalusot ako sa guard..hehehe:

The parking is okey with high ceilings despite the steep ramp:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/w318/boolateh/parking.jpg

There are still units available, and that's the great news for those who would like to see first before availing. You can see all 28 units on the 37th floor as sample for you to decide on the unit/s to choose.

The finish is quite impressive compared to other previous Cityland projects. The improvement is quite good. The cabinet finish and the front door is now a dark wenge color consistent with more modern interiors. Very classy. the floor tiles are bright and upscale. I have some qualms though on the choice of accent tiles for the kitchen and bathroom, I do not like the aqua or the orange accents personally. But the tiles chosen are of high quality and look very nice. Look, the bathroom is even spacious!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/w318/boolateh/100_0828.jpg

The ceiling height is comfortably high, and that's great especially if you have a small unit. Here's a sample of a 17.18sqm inner unit, very bright and airy, pleasant and surprisingly spacious:

The bathroom is hidden at the back of the open front door. Actual pic of the bathroom above.

Overall, I rate this project a 10 because it was more than I expected. You should hear the oohs and ahs of the unit owners who came this morning. I liked what I saw so much I stayed looking at all the units for 2 hours.

And the commercial area is well planned. Unfortunately, all sold out. Maybe, rentals in the future.

If you need assistance, I can come with anyone interested to see the units during the open house. Open house is today till the weekend. The discounts are still great! At present, some units still go as low as Php 47,000/sqm, wow!!!

What are you waiting for? PM me now so we could go see your future residence or investment!!

Yipeeeee!!!!!:banana:

P.S. The penthouse floor is not yet open today but will be this weekend for viewing of the amenities.
P.S.S. For unit owners who are abroad, I can try to take pictures of the unit similar to yours when I come back this Saturday. Just PM me your unit number. hehe :cheers1:

WOW Maganda naman pala. Eleganteng tingnan yung lobby kaya lang medyo madilim kulang sa ilaw. Ang luwang ng hallway at ang ganda ng mga view. Congratulations sa mga investors dito.:applause: :applause: :applause:

^^Actually the lobby is lit up, it's just my camera. I had no time to adjust it since bawal talaga mag take ng pictures...I just had to snap away while the guard was not looking. Hahaha! :hahaha:

Besides, hindi pa siya 100% finished. They just made way for the open house. Konting cladding and polishing pa. Plus finishing of all the other floors pa.

Can't wait.

WOW Maganda naman pala. Eleganteng tingnan yung lobby kaya lang medyo madilim kulang sa ilaw. Ang luwang ng hallway at ang ganda ng mga view. Congratulations sa mga investors dito.

Aking habibi, saan, saan sila nagkulang? Sa ilaw ba? Sa tingin ko ay hindi naman sila nagkulang (sa ilaw), sadyang sobrang liwanag lamang talaga sa labas at hindi kaya ng camera na kuhanan ng picture ng sabay yung liwanag ng labas at loob ng lobby. Kumbaga, lumalampas na sa dynamic range ng kamera ang eksenang iyan, sa kadahilanang malayong-malayo ang agwat ng liwanag ng kalye at ng loob ng lobby, at lalampas na ito sa kakayahan ng kamera.

Maaaring habaan ang exposure ng kuhang 'yan para lumiwanag ang lobby, ngunit ito'y magbibigay ng ganitong larawan...

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b358/thomasian/Fullyx.jpg

...kung saan ang labas ay magmimistulang nalabhan (washed-out! :D ), samantalang ang loob ay magpapakita naman ng sapat na liwanag.

thanks for sharing

thanks boolateh for sharing, it's much better compared to cityland's previous projects, especially the lobby big improvement. Did you hear anything re: possible turnover date?

ay sorry po ms boolateh! i've always thought you were a dude! I blame it on the T-rex hehe!

ummm, i think it's "IN GOD, WE TRUST". yata ha, hehe.

i just dont like the blue and orange tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, respectively ... it would have been better if a neutral hue was used.

Guys, how much do you expect to rent a 1-BR 30 sqm unit sa CER? Ano ba going rate ng rental ng Cityland condos sa Ortigas?

Thanks.

Guys, how much do you expect to rent a 1-BR 30 sqm unit sa CER? Ano ba going rate ng rental ng Cityland condos sa Ortigas?

Thanks.

^^Just to give you an idea, the smallest unit 17.18sqm would fetch Php 9T rental unfurnished, so your unit with balcony can probably command 15T unfurnished, no less. That's approximately 500/sqm in this area at this time. What's your unit keypool?

Crossroads and asbusinos, the people at cityland does not want to confirm nor deny that the turnover would be this Dec 2007. Pero, ang tingin ko, baka January pa. But I might be mistaken kasi mukhang tapos na talaga. I walked down sa fire exit stairs and its clean already.

Hmmm..maganda yan!

SuperB0y, I don't like the orange and aqua accents too, medyo off. Hahaha!

:cheers1:

If the pool area seems to be too small (...personally, I like the size of Megaplaza...)-

I gathered also from the engineers there last Sunday that there will be a laundromat room operated by the administration at the 40th floor for those who want to do their own laundry. I do not know if this will be coin operated or will there be a person assigned there to take the payment. The door was closed so no pictures yet of this room.

Just PM me if you want to avail of as much as 10% off on those remaining units.

Yey!:banana:

hi there, frequent lurker - newbie here.
Many thanks for all your info - they are very helpful.

Can i pls confirm that there will be a fitness area here? i was under the impression that this building doesn't have one??

If there's any available photos for the amenities, apart from the pool ofcourse, i'll very much appreciate a post here.

Kudos to all who posted pics! Gratifying indeed to see that Cityland delivers. Will appreciate if anyone else has pics of the other bigger units. Tnx.

Hi Jellybean, there is a common gym and function hall (pls refer to the photos posted by boolateh) but, I was told that the gym facilities like the treadmill, etc. will be put together by the association and not by the developer. There's also a kids playground on the roof deck but, not sure if the slides, seesaw, etc. will be provided by the developer or maybe, it will be expensed by the assoc again . .

SQ - many thanks... i keep forgetting that the work pc doesn't show pictures so i just thought there wasn't any...hehehe... my mistake. but yes thank you.

I was just wondering if anyone can help me out - i am on the market to get a condo and i am doing up my calculations. In short, i need someone to be able to tell me the actual cost of a 1 bedroom unit at 30sq when they purchased it back in 2005 or 2006 or even early this year just to see how much this building has appreciated. I cannot find any documents to state how much condo prices appreciate year after year - i need this rate to help me calc projected increase in investment.

If anyone is willing to let me know their purchase price, you can pm me or email direct to ticklesis22@hotmail.com

Many thanks in advance.

^^ Just to give you all guys an idea, below is this project's cost appreciation over 3 years:

Feb 2004 Launch - 28-30T pesos/square meter
Feb 2005 - 33-35T pesos/sqm
Feb 2006 - 45-46T pesos/sqm
At present - 57-59T pesos/sqm

Double your money in 3 years! :cheers1:

But looking at the present price, it's still below the location's market price. So, investment wise, having a unit here is a wise move considering the potential for rental.

Investing at this point is still good considering the location. And there are still very good discounts, PM me!

:banana: :banana: :banana:

Crossroads and asbusinos, the people at cityland does not want to confirm nor deny that the turnover would be this Dec 2007. Pero, ang tingin ko, baka January pa. But I might be mistaken kasi mukhang tapos na talaga. I walked down sa fire exit stairs and its clean already.

thanks boolateh for all the pics! My agent emailed me about my query re: turnover date, she can't give me a timeframe but she told me that whenever they conduct an open house, turnover follows in and around 3 months. So it might be around jan/feb. :banana:

Can anyone give me details of a GOOD agent for this project? PM me or email me direct so i can contact them ticklesis22@hotmail.com

si Boolateh. you can trust her.

^^ Thanks SuperB0y! :colgate: Jellybean, already PM'd you and will directly email you in a bit.

BOOLATEH - many thanks. I have responded to your email.


any here an investors from / living in AUSTRALIA????

Just want to know how an investment like this affected their income tax in oz? Do you have to declare it??? ( by law i know you should but would they know u have it) How do they know you've got it? Does you tax file number appear in any title/ documents upon purchasing this?

TIA guys.

^^Got your email Jellybean, responded to it too.

Will get more info re buyers from Australia.

:cheers1:

Just a general question guys -

for those who paid in cash, it is really the norm to pay the entire amount 2 weeks upon paying the reservation price???? Newbie in the philippines market here and in Oz, dealing are not this quick. There are some form of breathing time. I haven't got everything organised yet and the units are selling like hotcakes..... waaaaaaaa...... Lesson learnt for a young newbie :( :( :(

^^ Yes, if you intend to pay CASH, they usually get the full payment 14 days from your reservation date.

There are other terms available anyway. You can opt to pay in one-year and it's 0.92% interest, that is, if you cannot pool your money to pay in 14 days.

Yes, units here in Manila are selling like hotcakes. This particular project got half of the remaining units sold out in just the first open house weekend. if you have seen for yourself the finished model floor, you will be so impressed yourself.

Many investors who got units in the pre-selling got another unit when they saw the finished product. And great views indeed!

You still have a chance to get your unit, jellybean, emailed you a new set of availabilities before they go on price increase in a couple of days.

:cheers1:

I agree that Cityland has the foresight to buy the good lots. They are cheap considering that they are in very convenient locations.

I recently bought one studio unit in this building. Just a Studio. Really small but can't complain with the price. Affordable even if I am years late from purchasing.

I was made to believe by my agent that the adjacent lot has not been bought yet (Philcomcen) but I read in a different thread here that it has already been bought and there are plans already. If the agent intentionally hid this from me, I would be greaty disappointed. It's safe to say though that I'll never buy from my agent agent again for if the agent indeed wasn't aware that the lot has been bought, then it simply means that the agent wasn't doing the job right.

Can anyone please post the floor plan of the pool so I can have an idea. Thanks.

Sana by December tapos na.

^^It has been bought a long time, and a hotel will be built on this site where Philcomcen stands.

The story then was that, they will build a new structure on the empty portion of the Philcomcen area just in front of unit 24. Just don't have an idea how tall. And then, they will hook up the old Philcomcen structure with this new one. Yun na ang One ADB Hotel.

But lately, talks has been circulating that this old building will be torn down.

So let's see. But it answers your question kalbo96, this has been bought a long time ago from GSIS.

Thanks boolateh. I'll just assume that the agent isn't aware that the lot was bought a long time ago since I really can't be sure where she is coming from.

Hotel? Is that a newer plan? Because the original plan was for a 41-storey office building named One ADB Avenue, to be built behind it, and attached to the original PhilComCen.

Here's the rendering which I labeled for reference...

Fantastic shots Thomasian. Thanks much. Hope you can also make a shot of the one facing Emerald Ave and one facing Ortigas.

this is a lot better than their older projects., good job for cityland., :)

Agent told me yesterday that the June 2008 turnover might be moved forward to 1st Quarter of 2008.

Seems like it. Guess they really give a later date of turn over para maganda track record nila. IMHO, this is better so as not to disappoint buyers although I think it's much better if they give the real turn over date than the padded date.

^^ I think the initial turnover date is usually how long the construction will go based on the standard. The early turnover is a bonus, don't you all agree? And that's one of the good reputation of Cityland.

I'm excited for this early 2008 turnover! yey!! :banana:

meron din bang "ready to receive" finish ang cityland like the projects of G&W?

A very good exterior color scheme for cityland standards...

Hi. I'm new to this forum and have enjoyed reading all your posts and pics. Seems like it's been quiet for some time now. Any new developments out there? Or has anyone got any new pics of the exterior or interior. Am just excited to see how things are developing.

try going back a few pages, i'm sure you'll see nice pics...:cheers:

J.R., I did and the pictures looked impressive. However, there's only a partial of the front taken. Does anyone have a picture of the entire length of the front? Just wonder if the actual looked better than the archi's rendering. The lobby is definitely presentable with the nice finishes. Also, is there an access on Sapphire for condo owners?

At the back, there's a corridor that seems to lead to the lobby. But it doesn't look anything like the treatments done on the lobby, it looks bare, boring.

Well, at least we don't have to walk all the way around the front if one needs to go anywhere behind the bldg. Hopefully, the builder does some more to perk up the looks of that back entrance.

Thomasian is right. When I went to the open-house I passed through the Sapphire entrance, it looks dull indeed. I've observed, anyway, that most of the buildings along Topaz Street the back sides don't impress.

Hello! I am new to this forum and i am planning of selling my unit. I dont have an idea now how much is the market value of condo in philippines. Can anyone help me how much should I add as a mark up?

By the way, my unit is still under in house financing? Would it be possible for me to dispose it? let say transfer of rights? and the buyer will just pay whatever I already paid and additional mark up?

Thank you in advance!!!

berto23, as per boolateh's most recent price update, here's what you're looking at:
"appreciation of investment
Just to give you all guys an idea, below is this project's cost appreciation over 3 years:

Feb 2004 Launch - 28-30T pesos/square meter
Feb 2005 - 33-35T pesos/sqm
Feb 2006 - 45-46T pesos/sqm
At present - 57-59T pesos/sqm

Double your money in 3 years! "

So your proceeds will depend on when you purchased your unit less selling costs. Am sure you can arrange a sale despite your ongoing financing. Just not definite if you need it turned over first. Or maybe transfer of rights as you've said with loan assumption. Maybe others who are agents here can enlighten you more. Good luck!

When Will

When Will Philcomcen Be Demolished?

Thank you very much OEDEE!!!

Hi there again!!! Any new development on CER? Any latest news on its turnover date?

Has anyone got any new pics of the building, its exterior & interior? Forgive me, i am working overseas and just excited to see the fruits of my labor hehehe :cheers:

Thank you very much in advance!!!

berto23,

I got to talk to our agent last week. The agent said, turn over "might" be 1st quarter. She's guessing March 2008. I didn't get to clarify if March is our turn over since we're on the upper floors or that's the start of turn over. That's all I know. Sorry can't be of much help.

^^ Ang sabi kahapon sa site nung isang engineer baka January 2008 daw.

Wow!

^^ Ang sabi kahapon sa site nung isang engineer baka January 2008 daw.

Wow!

seems like january. i guess march was a safe date to come from the agent. wag lang december at realty tax agad katapat natin pag dating ng january. hehe

btw sino paparent parking? we'll be needing 1 when we move in.

Hi kalbo96, try to contact your agent and have your name enlisted for the parking. I think they might have a list of available parking slots for rent and it will be on a first-come-first-serve basis. Or, might have to wait until such time na meron ng admin office sa CER

Thanks SQ I'll do that. Ilan buwan na lang, turn over na.

How about recent pics of CER? Anyone?

Thank you very much again!:banana:

anyway, hows everyone doing? haven't been in CER for this month.

Hi bububear. CER is doing great. A lot of great reviews from the clients. I just hope GET picks up sales.

y? mababa ba ang sales ng GER?

superboy, as of now sales is just starting to pick up for GET. maybe because now, the construction is visible na.

anyway,how do you post pictures? i have pictures of CER but I dont know how to upload it. I couldn't browse through my files.

Got some bit of news (good or bad???) ... I was informed the lower floor units of CER will be turned over to owners this March. Could anyone confirm this?
Thanks and Happy New Year to all!

Seems like it sir. Got the undermentioned from our agent yesterday

"We are just waiting for the occupancy permit for Corinthian Executive Regency. Hope fully, we might start turning over by March"

Good that it'll be turned over soon but earlier is better esp for us paying in installment. Also para sulit yun realty tax break. 1 Quarter din yan.

Any updates on the turnover???

Hi! Anyone interested in buying a unit in CER? I got mine in 2006 under zero down payment scheme, but i extended my contract here, so hindi ko matitirahan. Please PM me. Sorry, i dont know if this is allowed in this forum.:) Thank you very much!!

are there still units available here?

are there still units available here?

meron pa daw . . a few more units for sale but, I think the price is close to
P2M already because CER is nearing its completion

boolateh : siguro, lahat ng workers sa CER moved to Grand Emerald kaya, super bilis ang GET :)

They're putting another coat of the paint. It's looking better, brighter and more vivid now.

no more inner units ang 1br . . approx size ng 1br is 26sqm at P1.9M,
one 3br unit left approx price is P5.3M

kailan turnover? :booze:

bububear, kala ko pa naman announcement na ng turn over. tatanong ka din pala. Malapit na March.

one of the better looking cityland condo to date. so unlike the hideous ones they have in Makati, yung malapit na sa pasay!

but Rada once finished could easily overtake CCER. maganda rin yun eh.

sure na po ba na march ang turnover? :banana::banana::banana:

Oo nga, sure na ba? Sino may insider? Ayaw nilang magsabi when talaga except June 2008.

Ay nako.

the actual message my agent told me was "baka march na turnover. we're finalizing occupancy permits."

From my understanding it's not a definite date.

bakit sabi June pa daw ang turnover? :booze:

guess it depends kung gaano gusto mambola ng agent? hehe really not sure. guess it's because it's not official yet so the agents are doing what we're doing- guessing. it might make you to smile to note that cityland has always turned over their projects before due date. anyone care to object?

do some early furniture shopping muna :-) actually, lots of furniture shops are offering 50% to 70% discounts. Play & Display just finished their 3 days sale last Sunday (Feb 3)

yeah, right! :booze: as far as i learned.. Cityland always make the turnovers at least 6 months before the expected date of delivery (as what shown/advertized) or sometimes i think its 1 yr before the exact date or at least 9 months.. :booze:

tagal pa yan. wala pa "in god we trust" logo eh.

ngayon ba meron nang "in God we trust" na logo? :booze: can anyone find it out kung nalagyan na nila? :booze: thanks a lot guys.. :booze:

In Cityland's website, they mentioned there that CER is 92% complete..... which means matagal pa turnover???:ohno::ohno:

Heheh very helpful ka talaga SQ. :)

no worries . . its not too late . . Home Interior superstore in Ortigas Home Depot is also promoting their 70% furniture sale (on selected items). I think Milano in del monte ave, qc is also offering big discounts . . .

In Cityland's website, they mentioned there that CER is 92% complete..... which means matagal pa turnover???:ohno::ohno:

uh i dont know.. pero alam naman natin na lagi silang early turnover eh.. :booze:

eh since lagi sila early turn over. LATE NA SILA hehe

hahahaha... nice one kalbo96. kelan ba last update nung website? baka di naman up to date.

baka yun kulang na 8% yun sign na "In God We Trust"

i think the latest update of that percentage in their Cityland site - end week of January 2008.. maybe they just get busy this past days because of the openhouse of their Rada regency last Feb 6-8, or something, or maybe the one who updates their website's do not have yet the copy for the next percentage update to put in their site.. but maybe the they will update it soon.. :booze:

In Cityland's website, they mentioned there that CER is 92% complete..... which means matagal pa turnover???:ohno::ohno:

CER 96% already.. :booze:

http://www.cityland.net/properties230_files/laman_cer.gif :booze:

that's the new photo of CER in the properties page of Cityland .. http://www.cityland.net/properties.html :booze:

so nasa 96 percent na ang CER when i checked their site just lately.. siguro that's as of Feb. 08, 2008.. :booze:

baka un plang ang nauupdate kasi ung ibang towers di nagbago as i had checked the difference today and yesterday.. :booze:

baka next week.. :booze:

so 4% na lang ang kulang.. :banana: :booze:

...but Rada once finished could easily overtake CCER. maganda rin yun eh.

Akala ko din @SuperB0y na mas maganda ang Rada, hindi pala. I was so disappointed! Parang nagtipid, same old finish as 2 years ago.

Buti pa ang CER, very modern ang finishes. Ceramic tile floorings and dark wenge wood finishes. An ganda!

To top it all, CER has 3 elevators. Others have only 2 (wawa!).

Any latest news po sa turnover date? Thanks! :cheers:

My aunt has spoken with Philip Tan, one of the VP's at City&Land and he says that they are turning over units next month from the lower floors going up.

I have a 3 bedroom unit on the 34th floor and he advised me to expect the turn over of my unit by the first week of May.

So, the higher the floor your is in, the later the turn over will be. They expect to turn over every floor by end of May.

Cheers!

Great news, thanks for updating us Oddvertising!

I was informed that if you want to rent out your unit, Cityland can manage it for you. You just have to tell them as soon as possible.

I was informed that if you want to rent out your unit, Cityland can manage it for you. You just have to tell them as soon as possible.

Hello Oddvertising. I am currently based abroad and i'm thinking of renting it out. Is it advisable to rent it furnished or unfurnished?

My aunt was informed by Cityland that my 3 bedroom unit will be in the range of P30,000 or higher unfurnished.

She also spoke with the agent who got us a tenant for my unit in Megaplaza and she said that my unit at CER can be rented out in the range of P45,000 to 50,000 furnished but she'll try to get me a better price.

By the way, I am renting out my very small 52 sgm inner unit (furnished) for P18,000 a month. My agent got me 1 year contract with the tenant. 1 month's rent go to the agent.
The tenant pays 2 months advance as a deposit if any of the furnitures gets broken. They also have to pay for the monthly association fee and they send me a cheque monthly as rent.

For my CER unit I am planning to buy some reasonably priced air-con, sofa set, small TV, a small ref and 3 beds from SM Megamall. After some research, I figure I will be spending about P90,000.

My family is planning to stay for about a month in manila this June and instead of spending money on hotels we'll furnish the CER unit and live there.

I think, if you are planning to rent out your unit for a long period of time it's more practical to rent it out furnished. But if you are only planning to rent it out in the short term and you are actually planning to live in your unit in the near future you should rent it out unfurnished.

As for me I look at my unit as an investment and I am planning to buy another condo unit while my CER unit pays for itself from the rent it generates.

Furnish or unfurnish, you should rent out your unit if you are not going to use it yet for yourself.
Remember, it's not an asset if it doesn't put money in your pocket.

any idea po how much is going rate for one bedroom, 32 sq m unit at CER?

almost mid-march. no definite news of turnover?

The website says it's 97% done... Question, should the building be 100% complete before it can start turning units over to the owners?

The website says it's 97% done... Question, should the building be 100% complete before it can start turning units over to the owners?

some developers turn the units over even if they're still doing some work on the building, but mostly finishing touches only. I know cityland turnover the units early but they still do some work even after 6 months, but it's not disruptive to residents though.

i'am based abroad and planning to go to pinas to see my unit on the 12th floor...
does any body knows if by may 15th the turn over is completed?
and how long does it take for me to have my electricity set up on my unit...
and what other things that i have to do?
too many questions...but need to have some input...

i'm quite excited to see it...:banana:

cheers:cheers::

i believe the electricity is part of the payment already. no idea when turn over will start so we cant guess if your unit will be available by may 15th.

Hello Everyone,

Once ma turnover po ba ung unit sa CER, do we need to get an insurance coverage para sa unit? If yes, what type of insurance (fire, eartquake, etc) and the estimated premium.

Thanks a lot!

April na sana ma turnover na! :banana:

As of today, no turnover dates yet, but my agent said, they are currently fixing the electric. So, looks like a May-June turnover for this one.

Late. For a Cityland.

Hello Everyone,

Once ma turnover po ba ung unit sa CER, do we need to get an insurance coverage para sa unit? If yes, what type of insurance (fire, eartquake, etc) and the estimated premium.

Thanks a lot!

April na sana ma turnover na! :banana:

In almost all cases, the condominium association gets a common building insurance (fire/earthquake/other perils), which the members share prorata on the premium, depending on the fractional share of your unit area against the total building or titled area. As a unit owner, you also have the option to insure the contents of your unit, so that in case something happens that is isolated in nature, like fire within your unit, this insurance can readily answer to the damage it might bring to you.

For estimates, you may consult your friendly insurance agent :)

That's a good price already for a design-and-execution package. If you have time and patience, and you want to save some more, try buying the materials yourself. Involve yourself on the choice of materials to use. This can be arranged normally with any reasonable contractor you deal with.

hello everyone, any update on the turnover of CER?

hello everyone, any update on the turnover of CER?

my agent told me it's going to be june coz' meralco and water supply company are still working on it so it's beyond their control, but everything else is finished. Got a unit on the 36th so i'm not expecting the keys till probably august if they start in june.

[QUOTE=asbusinos;19884518]hi jzone, 300k is it for design only or does it include labor and stuff?
300k basically spent for:
labor on knocking down a wall that divides the bedroom and living area and transfer of the toilet door to another position.
glass partitions
mirror panels,
flooring
minor repairs and changes in the kitchen
repainting
minor changes sa toilet
electricals
beams
lights
sofa
dining
center table, tv stand and pc table
curtains

^^ah. so that doesn't include kitchen appliances yet.

Good news to everybody. CER is now "Ready for Occupancy".

I was just informed that turn over for my unit is on May 15 and I am on the 34th floor!

Hello everyone!

Any idea how much is the rental rate for one bedroom in CER? Share naman, i am planning to rent out my unit sa 24th... and also any idea about the market value of CER now since for turnover na?

SalamaT!!!!

Reasonable rental rate for your unit could be between 12K and 15K a month.

Yey, saw my agent at CER yesterday, and my turnover date is May 14 at 1pm, I am at the 34th floor!

Yesterday, May 5, first day of turnover of units, and they started on the ground floor.

My agent also told me that complete turnover of all floors will be until May 15. That means, everyone who received their units can transfer right away! (of course after payment of association dues, difference in space measurement, and meralco meter balance).

See you neighbors! :banana:

it's nice to hear CER's turnover's coming up! :booze: i had learned that their web designer's had resigned last1st week of april.. Kaya pala on their projects page.. CER is still 97 percent.. :ohno: too bad..

i'am based abroad and planning to go to pinas to see my unit on the 12th floor...
does any body knows if by may 15th the turn over is completed?
and how long does it take for me to have my electricity set up on my unit...
and what other things that i have to do?
too many questions...but need to have some input...
i'm quite excited to see it...:banana::cheers:cheers::

By May 15, all units will have been turned over already. Just bring your cheque directly to CER and meet your agent there. Inspect your unit and pay for the (1) space difference, if any, (2) association dues, (3) balance meralco meter payment.

And yes, I was told by my agent that if you accept your unit and paid for all the above, you will be issued a move-in permit already. You can already move in!

Hi boolateh,

Would cityland tell us if the space is smaller than what we paid for? Would they re-imburse us the money if it is smaller?

Should we check the actual size of the unit ourseves? Is the balcony area included in the size computation? What is the right way to measure your unit?

Thanks

They should tell you if the space is smaller (and yes, reimburse you)...they wrote me a letter that my unit is 1.53 square meters bigger.

You can check, if you want, and measure your unit. And yes, the balcony is included in the size computation. Maybe you can ask the help of an engineer to measure your unit when it is your scheduled turnover.

I didn't want my unit bigger since I had to chunk out Php 45,000++ more for the additional space during the turnover, lest it earns interest. But what can I do, they measured the finished space. I just think it is absurd since they are demanding the payment right away.

I think I will measure my unit this Wednesday during the turnover. Just to be sure that I am being billed correctly.

:ohno:

Anyone care to share???

:ohno:

Just curious, is your unit a 1-BR studio? I asked coz mine is, and am worried I may be in your situation.

Anyone wants to share their turnover experience? What are the things that we need to check, scrutinize, etc? Thanks! I am based overseas and just asked my sister to receive the unit for me...

Anyone care to share???

To share my experience during the turnover of my one unit in vito cruz tower last 2006 that are some tiles are ampao .:bash:.yun bang pag pinukpok mo yun tiles ay may hangin kulang s semento then my rep. complaint to the the administrator & they replaced & fixed some of the tiles. / They charged me also d space difference & ganyan din kalaki FA dinagdag sa akin BOOLATEH. Almost 50,000 din binayaran ko.Pag di mo binayaran w/ interest na..but no choice kundi bayaran sila & lalo na based abroad din ako nahihiya na rin ko s representative ko na makipag argument sa kanila(cityland). Pagkakamali ko lang di ako humingi ng measurement kung saan nag excess kung s T/B. LV,,or Balcony lalo n corner unit pa noon ang nakuha ko.w/ 2 balcony. Check niyo na lng kung yun lower unit owner niyo ay nagbago rin for comparison…Do you THINK if less space difference, THEY reimburse us the money ??? Palagay ko HINDI na.. sasabihin pa ba nila???.. maliban lang kung susundin nila yun signage na IN GOD WE TRUST ..kung may takot sila sa DIYOS na huwag manloko sa kapwa…DI BA //. SANA nman ay di sila nanloloko o gumagawa pa ng pera..GOD BLESS ..ALL CER INVESTOR

They also implement the aircon unit must be 1 HP only. But according to A/C tech. na yun FA area na 26, 30 ++++ ay medyo hirap palamigin at malakas pa s kuryente dahil madalas ang andar ng compressor. 1 HP good for FA 17 only.. Advice ng mga AC tech. dapat mga 1.5 HP lalo n OPEN ang upper portion ng partition going to living room..PUMAYAG kaya ang CER developer na i-modify ang aircon steel casement during the turnover ??? :ohno:

i think, that shouldn't be a problem. i noticed at shaw tower, another cityland development, some unit owners already changed their windows from the supplied pull-out windows to a more modern sliding windows. same case is true with their wack-wack building. but of course, those are older buildings.

the limitation for the aircon may have to do with the electrical system, the wiring might be too small for a bigger compressor so please check first for your safety.

oppps, bustero is right. i completely forgotten about it. the limitation might not be coz of purely aesthetics alone. ^^

When the condo size doesn’t compute, refute

By Tessa Salazar
Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—The contract says you bought a 24-square-meter condominium unit. But when you receive the title, it says there you only got 23 sq m. What do you do then?
The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board advises specific recourses for “shortchanged” buyers.
HLURB had earlier confirmed to Inquirer Property that there have been “many similar complaints” from condo unit owners, although the board did not indicate the actual number.
Mike Denava, legal officer of the HLURB, said discrepancies cannot be avoided, and if condo buyers encounter this problem, he or she should consider the following steps:
1 The unit owner may choose a refund of the excess payment or demand the developer to correct the size of the unit. If there’s no possibility to adjust the unit physically, then ask for the refund.
2 The owner should also review the master deed of restrictions. This deed stipulated the rights and obligations of both parties—developer and buyer—such as what belongs to the common area or up to what point belongs to the unit owner.
3 If it turns out that the measurement is short, follow suggestion No. 1. Denava explained that should a conflict arise between a developer choosing to refund the excess payment and a buyer demanding the unit be readjusted physically, the settlement of the case would take longer. “The HLURB, being the quasi-judicial agency, would have to decide on the issue,” he said.
4 The unit owner can file a complaint with the HLURB and the agency can conduct an ocular inspection upon the unit owner’s request. The HLURB’s authorized engineers (technical services unit) can then conduct actual measurements of the unit. Afterward, what is indicated in the title would be followed.
5 The standard way of measuring the unit is to measure from one face of the wall up to the other face of the wall, according to Section 6 of the Condominium Act or Republic Act 4726. This is unless otherwise expressly declared on the master deed of restrictions, said engineer Octavio Canta, head of HLURB technical services.
6 Can unit owners have an independent technical body measure the unit? Denava said the HLURB cannot assure owners that the findings of an independent body would be acceptable or conclusive for HLURB.
Buyers can get in touch with the HLURB for further questions or to lodge their complaints at 9273061 or at www.hlurb.gov.ph. / HOPE it can help this INFO. to all investors..:)

guys any idea if CER allows split type air-conditioning?

i'm confused with the rules and regulations. was reading it and there's room for confusion and/or clarification.

hi. as far as i know, split type aircon are not allowed for residential units... i may confirm if this is correct or not tomorrow. i just have to ask my agent who is directly connected with cityland.

hi marcyds. please do let me know the soonest. thank you very much.

hi, window type aircon lang daw ang pinayagan ng city government for residential units at cer. that's why not allowed ang split type aircon.

ah ok. city government has no legal right to impose that kind of ruling but yeah we will install window type to avoid violation of the "city government ruling".

thanks marcyds. appreaciate it.

k, you're welcome.... may i ask what unit kayo?
(if ok lang...)

hi, window type aircon lang daw ang pinayagan ng city government for residential units at cer. that's why not allowed ang split type aircon.

To my knowledge, there is no such city govt ruling. My assumption is that the units' electrical load design did not consider provisions for split type aircons. That's why you are limited to installing window type only.

marcy 38th floor de-luxe (aka as studio with the french wall) 1BR ma'am. how about you?

shazzam, provisions for split type can be made by the individual owners and electrical load is not much of a concern as long as the electrical load is within the limit allocated per unit. i believe 1 HP split and 1 HP window utilize about the same load.
i guess it's more of the want of the cityland to keep a uniform look from the outside rather than the electrical load design.

sayang. was hoping to install a split. although a bit more expensive than it's window type counterpart, it's much more quiet and i personally like the cold it gives. just a personal opinion.

btw guys- dont go for 1 HP compact. your compressor will have a hard time cooling a 26-30 sqm unit as its built for 16-19 sqm (?) masisisra lang agad aircon niyo. (experts feel free to give your input).

shazzam, please don't get mo wrong.... i am not saying there is a gov't ruling like such....
sabi ng taga cityland, window type lang ang approval ng munisipyo sa mechanical permit...

kalbo96, ours is at 18th flr... thanks

Abt. aircon...1.5HP designed for FA 26 to 31 /1Br. advised by AC tech. but cityland developer not allowed to installed more than 1HP capacity as per Gen. guidelines - House Rules signed & acknowledged by d unit owner before turnover. But if they receive many complaints fr. d unit owner baka papayagan din nila yun 1.5HP.& modified d size of AC window grills, lalo na nag MODIFY naman cla ng OPEN Upper partition air flow to living room di tulad ng dating OLD cityland project enclosed for d bedroom only...:bash::ohno: what do u think??? :nuts::ohno::)

crossroads, kahit mag rally pa tayo dyan if 1 HP lang ang kaya ng electrical set up, i think it's best that we follow it. remember we bought a low cost condo unit. isipin mo na lang how come they got to sell it at that price. of course they cut some corners and isa na dun ang wiring ng units natin. it doesnt mean na illegal yun as they have been in business for so long and they know how to go around the law without actually breaking it.

pahabol lang, modify window grills to fit a 1.5 hp aircon ba sinasabi mo? sa laki nun kahit 2.5 HP mukhang kasya dun.

re-modification from close to open upper partition.... this was modified kasi sa mga previous project na enclosed pa ang rooms madami nag-request to open it.... as in the case of mega plaza i guess...
isn't it funny? baka nalilito na si Cityland :),
pero pwede naman ipa-modify yung units base on its owner preference, basta may approval from cityland.
