Ang ganda, parang ALI project yung itsura. :okay:
And it seems like it has a commercial podium, hhmmm... talk about an SM Sta Mesa annex.

SM Development income up 11.4% to P139M
The Philippine Star - 2005-08-29

SM Development Corp.(SMDC), the property arm of the SM Group of companies, posted a net income of P139 million in the first six months of the year, an increase of 11.4percent from the previous year’s level of P125 million.

Revenues, however, fell 19 percent to P190 million from P235 million a year ago. Of the total, P65.6 million came from interest on fixed-income investments.

Another P51.2 million came from the sale of investments in marketable securities. Other sources of revenues were real estate sales at P35 million, dividend income of p34 million, and miscellaneous income of P4 million.

SMDC president and chief operating officer Rogelio Cabunag said while bulk of revenues still comes from investments portfolio, this revenue earner will become secondary to rising real estate sales in the years to come.

Cluster 1 of Chateau Elysee, the first property venture subsidiary of SM Synergy Holdings, is ready for occupancy, with total of 384 units. Cluster 2, which has another 384 units, will be turned over to the owners by February 2006.

The project will have four other clusters surrounding a clubhouse that offers complete amenities such as a swimming pool, jogging trail and a social hall. The clubhouse is set to be completed in September.

About P1.5 billion has been earmarked this year for the Chateau Elysee venture.

Apart from this, SMDC is developing another residential condominium project right across SM City Sta. Mesa. The project, called The Centerpointe Residences, is expected to be launched in November.

SMDC has also forged an agreement with state pension fund Government Service Insurance System for the development of a residential condominium in baguio City. To be called Baguio Residences, the project is envisioned as a condotel, servicing residents and visitors of the summer capital. -Zinnia B. Dela Peña

welcome back, aaron :)

this looks to be a promising project. are we expecting 30+ storeys on this one? (at least for the tallest among the cluster)

Will this be built at the site of the flattened-out International Shopping Mall at the corner of Araneta Ave. and Aurora Blvd?

I just noticed today that its podium has a big SM sign just like in their malls.
Could be one of the best looking SM Malls if the podium does indeed become a mall...
and it's the only SM topped by a high-rise.

possible. that's still adjacent to the mall.

in any case, that would be a great development (and addition) for that area. sm is really pursuing a lot of projects now. and not just in the development of malls.

i think that's the lot where the old KFC is. it's diagonally across SM Centerpoint. Right now they already cleared the area. Looks like a small Eastwood to me.

oh, so this is it! this is the one i asked about... they demolished the plaza to make way for this centerpoint residences... my friend told me that it would be a robinsons project - a mall to compete with sm centerpoint. but now its clear that its under smdc. i will look forward for this one. :)

ilang floor and cluster meron ang project na ito?

from http://www.smdevelopment.com/htm/news_and_events.htm

Centerpointe Residences is located across SM City Sta. Mesa. It features six towers ranging from twenty to twenty seven floors each. It's a mixed-use development project by SMDC and BDO Realty. It offers one bedroom unit with 20 sq.m., two bedroom unit with 60 sqm., and three bedroom unit with 80 sq.m. It has a total of 24 amenities such as lap pool, kid's pool, basketball court, picnic area and many more. It is set to launch on October 2005.

thank you,like eastwood parkview,one central park and eastwood hotel but more organised?like nice to me.

This is an interesting development. I thought this area was cramped already. Have they solved the flooding in the Sta Mesa area?

I wonder how much they are going to sell per unit?

nice location too.. very near the schools..

i grew up in that area.. I still remember when SM Centerpoint was still Sta. Mesa Market.. and they were the first to sell lechon manok at Php30.00 a piece I think..

oh yeah, that area is easily flooded during rainy days... only 1 hour of heavy pouring results to knee high flood....

yup.. araneta avenue ba yun.. papuntang E. Rodriguez.. nung college kami.. hanggang dibdib ang baha dyan.. grabe..

yan yung sinasabing me umihi lang na aso baha na.. heheheh :bash:

oh yeah, that area is easily flooded during rainy days... only 1 hour of heavy pouring results to knee high flood....

The only good thing going for this project is the fact that it's accessible via the LRT2 Purple line, and it's proximity to a mall. Otherwise, the flooding during the rainy season, the traffic, and smog are a real let down. btw, won't the noise generated by the trains be a bother to residents?

yup.. araneta avenue ba yun.. papuntang E. Rodriguez.. nung college kami.. hanggang dibdib ang baha dyan.. grabe..

yan yung sinasabing me umihi lang na aso baha na.. heheheh :bash:

hirap naman jan. paano kung pandak? eh di lunod na un. :jk:

hehehe... you would definitely need a boat... :)

@dvorak - this one is at the corner of araneta avenue and aurora blvd... but the one you mentioned was true... i experienced walking along araneta avenue to e.rodriguez coz there wer no jeeps and the water was waist high. i even saw unidentified floating objects... eeewwww! yuckie!

the lrt, i think, is not that noisy... :)

hehehe buti sana kung malinis yung tubig.. kaso ang dumi dumi.. ewwwwww pag naalala ko talaga yun.. nung una.. hanggang binti lang.. tapos mamaya.. hanggang hita na.. sabi namin.. sige kaya pa.. tapos maya maya.. ayun.. sayad na sa ano.. yuck!! tapos maya maya.. lubog na talaga.. arrrrrrrrghhh.. grabe talaga yun.. buti na lang hindi umabot hanggang leeg.. tapos non.. tawa kami nang tawa.. :bash:

yah, that's the disadvantage of that area. i was in uniform that time... white long sleeves and dark grey skirt. :cry:

even vehicles couldnt pass through araneta avenue. and even if you are near sm centerpoint, you would need to cross aurora blvd to get there. the only foot bridge is near sm and not across aurora. :ohno:

during my time.. wala pa yatang foot bridge don.. di ko na maalala.. hehehe :bash:

Dati bang may river sa area na yan? Bakit sobra na lang ang baha?

i think there's a river beside SM

yup.. meron nga..

i think there's a river beside SM

well you can't blame mother nature. most part of manila today were once submerged in water. in fact, manila is basically the big delta deposits from pasig river.

kaya nga venice siguro ang theme ng condo development na iyan.

Very good it is located safely in QUEZON CITY. And FYI SM Sta Mesa or Centerpointe is located in Quezon City. Just to clear the boundary issue...Sayang naman yung mga taxes kung mapupunta sa Manila proper..possessive ang potah!

It seems like there's a change of plans for this project just like the Northpointe Residences which also has a moved launching date because they planned to add a commercial component to it.

There will now be four, 30-storey towers, instead of the originally planned 6 towers with heights ranging from 20-27 storeys.

Launching of Centerpointe Residences was moved to 1Q2005.

SM property unit allocates fund for three new projects
Cai U. Ordinario - 2005-12-19
The Manila Times

SM Development Corp., the real-estate unit of the SM Group of Companies, plans to set aside a bigger amount for three big projects next year.

Rogelio R. Cabunag, SMDC president, said the company will raise its capital expenditures to P1 billion next year from its less-than-a-billion pesos spending bill this year if all three projects push through..

The three projects are the Hacienda Looc, the next two towers of Chateau Elyseé, and a venture near SM Centerpoint that has yet to be named. For that project, the company will forge a joint venture with affiliate bank, Banco de Oro, which owns the property on which sits the Centerpoint shopping mall.

Under the joint venture, SMDC will develop the 1.4- to 1.5-hectare lot for commercial and residential purposes. Set for launch in the first quarter, the project is expected for completion by end of 2006.

Cabunag said the project is aimed at the middle- to upper middle market.

The project will be a mixed-use development, with four towers of 30 stories each. The first four to five stories will house the commercial development, while the remaining floor will be reserved for residential units.

Cabunag said the commercial aspect has yet to be decided upon, but stressed it won’t be a shopping mall. [so if it's not a shopping mall, then what could it possibly be??? -Aaron/Thomasian]

On Hacienda Looc, the company is undertaking changes in the project design, Cabunag said, adding a launch may happen next year. Located on a 5,000-hectare property in Batangas, the P2- to P3-billion project’s first phase includes leisure amenities such as a clubhouse, swimming pools, and golf course.

As for Chateau, the company plans to start construction of the next two phases next year. To date, two phases and a clubhouse have been completed.

Cabunag said the company will turn over the units of the second phase to the owners by February next year.

The project master plan provides for six phases. Chateau is a six-cluster residential condominium project in Bicutan, Taguig.

maybe they're planning to tap in into the growing demand for commercial space?

anyways thanks for the rendering.

so.. will they demolish SM Centerpoint?... is it going to rise on that lot across SM Centerpoint which was demolished recently...

no SM won't be demolished because it will rise on the lot across it.

It could be office commercial and it would make sense if they want to put a BPO unit there. AT 5 Stories by 1 hectare that would be around 50,000 sq.m. leasable , just the size of cybergate.

Maybe they made it four stories because it's cheaper to put in the foundation for 4 tall buildings rather 6 marginally shorter ones. It could be much wider as well.

BPO offices would be good for the area since there's not much quality office spaces there.

bago lang aq d2... hehehe... :)
shox... sarap kumuha ng unit jan... kakapagod mag-uwian papuntang pup. hehehe...
kala ko rin nga robinsons yan eh... pero teka... dba maxadong maliit ung lot na un for 4 towers? lagi ko xa nadadaanan pag nag e-lrt aq... it looks small.

I think it's enough for 4 towers or even a little more than that. It just requires some creative planning and positioning of the towers to maximize views.

i'll take this chance to bitch once more about any structure that SM puts up as derelict pieces of shit garbages. But if the homes are affordable for the average Filipino family then i'm willing to give SM some slack.

AND WELCOME RICHARD

Hello Richard, 1 hetare is ok for 4 towers. (GA stands on only 1000 sq.m. and the next one is the same size lot!). I think it will be affordable so ok iyan for you if you don't want a long commute, di ko lang alam kung kelan delivery nila.

Posted by terrapin from the Metro Manila Proposals and U/Cs thread:
Any information on this project?

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e289/sikatuna/a1.jpg

Thanks terrapin, I've been waiting for the revised design of that which is formerly known as the Centerpointe Residences.

The lot has been fenced already and the old structure has been totally demolished. I think they're now ready for construction but I don't see any construction materials and machineries within the site yet.

BTW, where'd you get that rendering? :D I noticed that the new design of Mezza Residences resembles the look and layout of The Residences at Greenbelt.

A short background on Mezza Residences:

It stands at the corner of Araneta Ave. and Aurora blvd.
The revised design will have four towers, each 30-stories.

The old design consisted of 6 towers with heights ranging from 20-27 stories.

No, thank you and everyone else for providing more info on the project since I have not found anything on the web regarding this project.

As to the source, :dunno: ...from a friend of a friend...... :)

so san kaya nakaharap yan?? aurora or araneta?

my guess would be the unobstructed Araneta Avenue....

parang aurora at mas malapad angharap ng lote na iyan sa aurora. either way maganda ang lokasyon niya.

i hope naayos na nila ang problem sa baha dyan.. grabe yang corner of aurora and araneta.. nung college kami.. dyan kami nag swimming.. grabe.. neck deep!

totot. everypage of this thread talks about the baha! Pero matagal ko na rin di nakita na binaha diyan, o swerte lang ako!

why did they change the name? hehehe... centerpointe residences sounds cooler. :) well, hope things go well...

wala pang nangyayari sa site. although naka fence at may mga nagbabantay sa loob. may nakasulat din sa labas na yero...

on this site will rise a mixed use residential chuva. then sm nakasulat sa baba. i forgot the exact words. nababasa ko lang sya pag naka jeep ako eh. pag lrt, ang kita ung mismong lot. :)

i dont think binabaha pa sa lugar na yon. (not really sure tho) :)

I don't know to most Filpinos mezza might sound italian.. to me it sounds highly australian colloquial. It's like them in Europe making a building named Ate Glo or Kuya Biboy Residences.

kuya biboy residences... :lol: nice... this one is way cooler. :)

diba may KFC don?? so wala na yung KFC? yung MCDO?

kuya biboy residences... :lol: nice... this one is way cooler. :)

seriously get the name to an australian if you know one. they wouldn't be thinking it as a sophisticated one. Centerpoint... yes dull but very... central and around everywhere:D

SM allots P6B for condo project in Sta. Mesa

Publicly listed SM Development Corp. is allocating up to P6 billion for the construction of four residential towers in its newest project, the Mezza Residences in Sta. Mesa.

Henry Sy, Jr., vice-chairman and chief executive, told reporters in the sidelines of the project’s launch last Friday that "each tower will cost around P1.2 billion to P1.5 billion."

The Mezza Residences is the first high-rise condominium project of SM Development, the arm of the SM Group of companies that develops residential towers near SM malls.

The project, which will have a total of 1,500 units, is a joint venture between Banco de Oro, which owns the land, and SM Development, which will develop the two towers.

The Mezza Residences, located across SM Centerpoint in Sta. Mesa, will have 38 storeys for each building.

The two towers which were launched on Friday will have 300 one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom units each, with floor areas of between 21 and 86 square meters.

The units, SM Development President Rogelio Cabunag told BusinessWorld, will be delivered by 2008. "We hope to start construction for the two buildings by the fourth quarter," he said.

He said units would be sold from P48,000 to P55,000 per square meter, depending on the which floor the units are located.

Mr. Cabunag said SM is targeting the villages in the area for the project. "There are also a lot of businessmen in the area in Araneta, even medical practitioners in the UERM [University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center]," he said.

He said SM is contemplating the holding of a possible international road show for the project.

"We’re considering that for the international market," he said.

Officials of the project said that as of Friday, the group has been able to sell 150 units, or 25% of the total number of units for the two towers.

Mr. Cabunag said SM Development decided to go into high-rise development because demand for the project in its location is for such buildings.

"There’s an opportunity there. Most of the condominiums on that area are built on a high-rise level," he said.

Meanwhile, BDO Realty Corp. may increase the size of its joint-venture project with Sta. Lucia in General Trias, Cavite, depending on the latter’s performance.

BDO Realty, a unit of Banco de Oro, earlier entered into a joint-venture agreement with Sta. Lucia to develop 127 hectares of raw land in General Trias.

The project would be developed into a subdivision called Rio De Oro.

"We have 400 hectares of land in General Trias, and Sta. Lucia is developing 127 hectares. The rest of the land will still be developed by Sta. Lucia depending on how they perform [on the 127 hectares]," BDO Realty Manager Charlie O. Torio told reporters.

BDO Realty has been mandated by its parent company to dispose of some of the foreclosed assets of Banco de Oro.

Mr. Torio estimates the bank has P7 billion in foreclosed assets.

Sources earlier said BDO Realty needs to dispose of P1 billion worth of properties covering 200 hectares of land.

The 200 hectares, which comprise 20% of the idle assets BDO Realty needs to dispose, will yield revenues of P2.5 billion over 10 years, sources earlier said.

BDO Realty is one of six subsidiaries of BDO. The others are BDO Capital & Investment Corp., BDO Financial Services Inc., BDO Card Corp., and BDO Private Bank.

diba may KFC don?? so wala na yung KFC? yung MCDO?

andun pa. sa kabilang side un. ang mezza is located sa tabi ng UERM.(diagonal sa sm, not katapat... but practically speaking parang katapat narin un. :) ) :) i'm not really sure if its kfc and mcdo there... but i'm sure merong something dun.

looks nice, How tall is it?

according to the article 38 stories... if you're asking about meters or feet... hehehe... no idea. :)

say 5 meters per floor x 38 = 190+ meters

I don't know to most Filpinos mezza might sound italian.. to me it sounds highly australian colloquial. It's like them in Europe making a building named Ate Glo or Kuya Biboy Residences.

We have almost every foreign-sounding or foreign-inspired building name here in the Philippines. Whew, pang-international na pala tayo. :D

There's a long list of foreign-inspired names here, I can only do a partial listing sa sobrang dami, pagod na akong mag-isip eh. At naubos na utak ko kakaisip kaya nagtatagalog muna ako. :colgate:

SM project adds to Quezon City skyline

For its second residential project, publicly listed SM Development Corp. will change the skyline of Quezon City with a four-tower high-rise development called Mezza Residences.

Layout of a three-bedroom unit

Launched on Feb. 24, the day that President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declared a state of national emergency, the project is across SM City Sta. Mesa at Aurora and Araneta, and will rise to 38 storeys.

Mezza Residences is the second project that SM Development, which is under the banner of the SM Group, will be doing after Chateau Elysee, a mid-rise residential condominium project in Bicutan. It will also be the first high-rise residential project that the firm will be embarking on.

In an interview on the sidelines of the launch, SM Development President Rogelio Cabunag said the company saw an opportunity in venturing into the high-rise residential condominium development since "most of the condominiums along the area are built on a high-rise level."

The development will give unit buyers views of Quezon City to the north and Antipolo City to the east, the Makati and Ortigas business districts to the south and Manila Bay and its famous sunset to the west.

The project will offer 1,500 residential units. A joint venture between SM Development and Banco De Oro, which owns the land, it is estimated to cost P1.2 billion and P1.5 billion per tower, said Henry Sy, Jr., SM Development chief executive officer .

The first two towers will start construction by the end of this year, and the units will be delivered by 2008, company officials said.

At between P48,000 and P55,000 per square meter, the units seem affordable for the market that SM Development is targeting -- the residents of the nearby subdivisions, owners of the business establishments along Araneta and Aurora Boulevard, and medical professionals who work in the nearby UERM Hospital and UERM Memorial Medical Center.

Mr. Cabunag said the project is near a station of the Light Rail Transit system, making it easy for the residents to move around.

Units come in one-, two- and three-bedroom models with sizes ranging from a low of 20 square meters to a maximum of 86 square meters.

A retail center will be situated at the ground and second levels to service residents. Charlie Torio, BDO Realty Corp. manager, said SM has made sure that the retailers that will locate in the podium level of Mezza Residences will not compete with SM City Sta. Mesa.

Also part of the plans for the development are a deck, interactive water jets, swimming facilities including a lap pool, a jogging path, a health station, and a barbeque area.

A 1,000-square meter lawn to allow residents to have picnics, a Zen garden and reflexology path will also be created in the residential project.

Officials declined to say how much in revenue is expected from the project, but Mr. Torio said that the SM group usually gets a 30% margin from its developments.

Mr. Cabunag said SM Development may stage an international road show for Mezza Residences.

Local demand, however, seems to be strong. As of last Friday, take-up for the 600 units in the market was at 25%. "We’ve already sold 150 units," Mr. Torio said.

SM Development was incorporated in 1974 as a closed-end investment company. Previously called Ayala Fund, Inc., it changed its business name to SM Fund, Inc. after the SM Group of Companies took major ownership in March 1986.

The company targets residential properties near the SM shopping malls. It is also considering ventures in tourism and entertainment to enhance mall operations.

say 5 meters per floor x 38 = 190+ meters

that's an overestimate pare hehehe...the shang grand is only 180 meters...

I was able to talk to an agent of Mezza yesterday and she told me that the units from the 36th to 38th floors have all been reserved.
Nakita ko kasi sya na nagpapa-photocopy ng ng reservation forms, 46 copies ang pinagawa nya.
Ayon sa kanya, mga 200 units na "daw" ang naipa-reserve since the launching.
Totoo kaya yun? Parang ang damin naman nun, baka exaggerated lang yung figure na yun.

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

that's an overestimate pare hehehe...the shang grand is only 180 meters...

Yes pare, it's too much already. That estimate is like so malaki talaga dude.

Tol I'll make kalkal muna the old threads to check the height of other buildings, okay? :D

The Rockwell residentials have Filipino Artists' names. Rizal (Tower) Manansala, Joya (Lofts and Towers), Luna (Gardens), Hidalgo (Place), Amorsolo (Place).

Hats off to the Lopez group for their marketing effort using Filipino artists' names. Too bad most of these developers don't realize how ridiculous some of these projects are named.

Okey... At least these names are not as pretentious as some Cityland projects! :)

The Mezza Residences: High-Rise Living At Its Best

http://www.smdevelopment.com/images/images_news_16.jpg

From the country’s most respected names in retailing and mall development comes a project that’s soon to be a by-word in condominium living—the Mezza Residences.

Situated at Aurora Boulevard corner Araneta and Guirayan Streets in the heart of Quezon City, the impressive Mezza Residences has four, 38-storey residential towers. Offering one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and suite units with introductory prices ranging from one to five million, Mezza Residences is suited for young professionals yearning for their first taste of independence or starting-out families seeking a place to call home.

“Mezza Residences is metropolis living at its most convenient,” shares Julie Jalandoni, Assistant Vice President for Sales and Marketing of SM Development Corporation (SMDC). “Everything one can ever need is right here, thus saving on gas, energy, and precious time. We really had the lifestyle of today’s urbanites in mind in developing this project – addressing as many of their living requirements.”

Each tower has three high-speed elevators and three parking levels. A total of 810 covered and open parking slots are available. There is a main lobby in each tower and a welcome lobby on each floor as well. An individual laundry drying area for each unit and a centralized garbage collection and disposal system are provided for added convenience.

Supported by the SM Group of Companies and Banco de Oro, Mezza Residences allows you to enjoy a wide variety of activities all under one roof. Cafes, service, and retail establishments are conveniently located at the Podium at the ground and second level.

“Everyone can go home and do all their shopping right here. Young urbanites can dine out and have a good time with their friends,” adds Jalandoni. “Mezza truly finds its hallmark on convenience. But more than just that, SMDC puts this together in a great package with well-planned floor areas and generous open spaces.”

Mezza Residences takes pride in its lush greens. Unique to this project is its sprawling 1,000 square meter lawn—an inviting place where families can have a picnic, play catch with the kids, or take an afternoon nap. Giving importance to healthy living, a Zen-inspired garden with a meditation area and a reflexology path relaxes the mind and spirit of the weariest urban dweller. Kids can soak up the sun in the kiddie pool while elders can stay fit by lapping the the 25-meter lap pool.

Here at Mezza Residences, it’s all about living the city life to the fullest.

A short distance away from the Central Colleges of the Philippines, the Immaculate Heart of Mary College, the UERM Hospital, the UERM Memorial Medical Center, the LRT 2 Sta. Mesa Station, and the bustling Araneta area, everything indeed is within your reach. The Mezza Residences is a project of the SMDC.

I attended their orientation this week and they informed me that they are no longer promoting the 10% d/p scheme. I believe that that was the promo during their launching.

I was also informed that there have already been more than 200 reserved units.

ahh ok.. sayang.. kasi kung a 2.5M unit at 20% downpayment.. eh 500T na down non.. payable in 12 months lang.. masyadong mabigat.. sana they could extend it to 24 or 36 months.. para ma afford nang middle income bracket..

di siya ganon ka mura (I calculate 54t/sq.m.)considering Sta mesa (or QC address mo) mas mura pa yata ang projects nila Gibson pero nasa fort sila, of course you have your own mall and lrt station (konting lakad pero konti lang talaga) sa pagbaba.

di na kailangan ng 10% kasi daming pera kasi SM , kahit na mabagal ng konti benta, lang problema, tapos kita pa sila yata ng malaki sa podium!

what the cusa on this one pinoybroker? at anon ang delivered finish and ammenities.

sana lang developers.. specially the big ones like SM or Ayala.. should consider lowering the downpayment.. or extending the payment of the downpayment without interest para more people can afford it.. yung monthly ammortization once naka move na eh medyo kaya na yun.. ang mahirap lalo na sa mga nandito sa pinas eh yung downpayment..

^^agree, kaya lang siempre kita muna ng project and hanap nila Sy at Ayala, kaya sila yumaman ng ganon! Pero mas mabuti nga sana para sa mga tao.

since sila nga yung mas maraming pera.. dapat sa kanila mag simula yang ganyan.. at mahahaba naman ang pisi nila.. para magkaron naman nang bahay ang isang ordinaryong juan dela cruz.. at hindi puro yung mga nasa ibang bansa lang at yung mga mayayaman dito ang maka afford nang mga condo nila..

Yes, just like the concept of Eastwood Parkview I and II, Eastwood Park - Hotel and Residential suites, and One Central Park which is taken from those of HK developents which has residential units above a mall.
SM's Mezza doesn't have a mall though but more of a commercial/retail strip on the ground and 2nd levels. At least there's SM City Sta Mesa just across it.

im planning to buy a 1-bedroom unit in this project para pa rentahan sa mga estudyante :D

@baphi, i have a copy of their brochure but i am sorry i dont have scanner...anyway, the 1 bedroom unit is around 20.66 sq meters...sa floor plan dito, yung door is on the right side and swings to the left...pagbukas mo ng door, foyer tapos on the left side is the bathroom...next to the foyer is the dining area tapos sa left side is the kitchen...then yung dulo is the bedroom tapos may airconditioning slot sa pinakadulo...

i still have to ask an agent about the price schemes though...

Ano and DP that is reasonable in your opinion?

If you were the one in charge of this project, the 1-BR, 2-BR and 3-BR unit, how would you structure the DP...

Just wanted to know if there is a way we can make a payment scheme that would fit the low DP that is being suggested.

Thank you!

Mga Magkano mag-rent mga studyante. I friend of mine rents a 20 sqm unit at UST for about 10T per month eh...Would it be higher in this area?

Thank you @cokelitro for spending time to respond to my querry.
I hope you don't mind Mr.Gibson my answering your question to Dvorak since I had emailed you regarding if there is a possibility of lowering your downpayment of 35% of the total price and maybe with so many email that you're receiving every minute you didn't answer mine.
Since this is an open forum in my opinion a 10% is very affordable to many. And just take this opportunity to ask one more question , is 46sq.m.your smallest ?By the way,thank you for sending info thru email.

the 1-bedroom... but to me it looks like a studio with dividers, really.
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/ofngol/poster1br.jpg

it really looks like a studio unit. and it's like medyo masikip... it would look like an ordinary hotel bedroom if those 'dividers' are not in the pic. Ang target ba nila mga students? :)

Hi Gibson,

Say a downpayment of 20% to 30% payable in 3 years zero interest would be ok.. then the rest 70 to 80% via pag-ibig or bank financing..

ang mahirap kasi kung papaano mo bibigay yung downpayment..

for a 1M unit.. papaano lalabas na Php7,000 monthly ammortization??

for a 20% down at 0% interest for 1 year.. that's already.. Php16,666.66 monthly..

for 35% own at 0% interest for 2 years.. Php14,583.33 a month..

asan ang Php7,000.00 a month?

= P7,157 = your monthly amortization in 20 years

That's how you get 7.000 per month.

Next question plz....hehehe

so dapat 7,000 monthly ammortization after paying Php14,583.33 for 24 months..

FYI:

ang monthly ammortization po ay magsisimula kung ma aaprubahan ang inyong loan sa pag-ibig or bank financing. ang 20% na sinasabi ay inyo lamang pong downpayment na maari nyong bayaran sa loob ng isang taon..hindi po ito kinukonsidera na monthly ammortization sapagkat hanggat nde nyo pa nababayaran ang kabuuan ng downpayment ay nde nyo pa po maaring tirhan ang inyong unit. Maaring bayaran ang downpayment depende sa kakayahan ng inyong budget. samantala ang ammortization na babayaran ninyo sa Pag-ibig ay may sukat na halaga, maari ninyong punan ang kabuuan ng inyong loan sa pag-ibig at upang bumaba ito..kailangan ninyong bawasan ang inyong premium loan sa pag-ibig.

so dapat 7,000 monthly ammortization after paying Php14,583.33 for 24 months..

I sent you an e-mail just now. Somehow I did not receive your e-mail. Very very sorry!

@Dvorak - normally, DP should be no interest naman talaga. In fact with our projects, we don't call them DP, we call them "Initial Deposit" because it is deposited in Banco De Oro trust, and will actually earn interest that will be credited back to the unit owner. - the bank actually pays them interest!

Anyway, my question is the 3 years timeframe, does it apply for this project? Or in general. If in general kasi, it seems quite a bit long, considering if you were to apply it to a project that will complete construction in less than that time frame.

SM Dev’t breaks ground for Mezza

The Philippine STAR 07/21/2006

SM Development sustains its dynamic entry in residential and tourism development with the recent groundbreaking for Mezza Residences, its follow-up to the hugely successful Chateau Elysee and its first high-rise project. Elizabeth Sy, senior VP for marketing of SM Prime Holdings (center) led the ceremony together with (from left) Engr. Carlo Alampay (senior project manager-SM Development Corp.), Ramil Lombos (VP-BDO Realty Corp.), Nestor Tan (president-BDO Realty Corp.), Rogelio Cabuñag (president-SM Development Corp.), Julie Jalandoni (assistant VP marketing-SM Development) and Dennis Abcede Jr. (D.A. Abcede and Associates).

SM Development is earmarking P5.2 billion to develop Mezza Residences, a 38-storey, four-tower condominium located across SM Centerpoint in Sta. Mesa, Manila.

Units will come in one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations and are being offered at prices well suited for the urban middle market.

Mezza Residences takes off from the ‘community beside a mall’ concept seen in its maiden offering Chateau Elysee, which is a mere five minutes away from SM Bicutan in Parañaque. This time, Sta. Mesa’s SM Centerpoint will be the anchor mall for the project.

Initial market uptake has been strong with great response coming from entrepreneurs, medical students and professionals and middle-income families.

SM Development Corp. is the real estate development arm of the SM Group of Companies, designing and creating homes and leisure and tourism projects for the active premium middle market segment.

http://www.philstar.com/philstar/BUSINESS200607216507.htm

where is this mezza residence located? Is this exactly located infront of SM Centerpoint?

very near the mall,actually fronting the mall,corner Aurora blvd and Araneta ave. :)

it's across araneta ave, in front of Central Colleges of the Philippines.

where is this mezza residence located? Is this exactly located infront of SM Centerpoint?

Pre selling of Towers l and II is so successfull that the SM Devt.is now lauching the sale of towers 3 and 4 on Sept. and that`s next month.
If you want to avail of the units before their price increase on Sept,
call Khan Enriquez 09165316483 From Sm Development or visit their showroom at Sta Mesa.

Hi,

Sulit kaya ito? Ang presyo daw ay PHP 3.5m para sa 2 bedroom unit, kaya lang parang maliit ang unit, mukhang 40sqm lang.

I grew up in the neighborhood kaya parang sentimentally gusto kong bumili.

may old thread na ito.. MOD paki merge na lang..

^^ Did it already. Nagulat ako ng may bagong Mezza Thread eh naalala ko na meron na akong ginawa, basta to everyone, kindly check first if the project has a thread before creating one. ;)

Hi,

Sulit kaya ito?

Ang sabi sa akin ng sales nila, ganito daw ang common financing terms:

20% payable over 30 monthly installments
80% at the end of 30 months: either a balloon payment or bank financing will be made available

So in theory, one can acquire ownership of a PHP 4m unit 60 sqm. unit while only paying PHP 30,000 a month (I am rounding up to cover other costs and the cost of the parking lot).

Maganda ang leverage di ba? PHP 360,000 lang in the first year para hawak ang rights sa condo na PHP 4,000,000?

check mo mabuti yung 80% at the end of 30 months.. ask mo rin kung pwede via Pag-ibig? tsaka ilang % interest pag bank financing.. malamang via Banco De Oro yan.

Towers l & ll are sold out,Towers lll & lV are selling so well,is the construction already had begun?

the construction just started last saturday. ^_^

thanks for the info ganzo,I wonder how long the constructions take to top off.

start na nga pla itong project na ito kung hindi me nag-kakamali yung general contractor nito ay contractor din ng Sm Taytay

meron kasing hypermart located ito sa ground level / podium level ng mall. sabi nila by july 2007 dapat finish na till the podium level para ma open na yung hypermart . while sa building naman 2 towers will be constructed by 2008 ata matatapos.

^^ That hypermart is a good thing for SM City Sta Mesa as it doesn't have much more room to expand. I'm just wondering how they'll realize their promise of a bridge connection to SM Sta Mesa? Will that still push thru?

please care to bother to explain what a hypermart is ,tnx

Dept. Store + Supermarket... All in one easily navigable place usually in a single level and in a warehouse-type structure most of the time. Caters to shoppers who don't want the hassle of going through a whole mall just to shop.

Sori ha, inaantok na kasi ako kaya parang webster difinition ko. :)

Aaron, thanks..

hypermart reminds me of walmart in the US. It is exactly patterned that way.

^^ I guess it helps that SMs in China has Walmart as one of their anchor store, even if they're privately owned by the Sys and not of SM Prime Corp.

Walmart is having a hard time branching out in china because majority of the chinese shops at carrefour ( france version of SM ) .. and finding a huge space in a city in China is very difficult thats why walmart has to buy or lease space from Companies who already has a mall in a city in china. ^_^ source -- CNN

SM's going to make a new "exclusive access bridgeway"? eh diba meron nang pink overpass ang MMDA...?

medyo bumibilis na ang pace ng construction nito... meron ng crane... i'll take a pic if i have the chance.

At ang bilis ding mag appreciate ng price nito ,the 1.2M before is now 1.7M,is it always like this for every sold out project? or is it because of economic standard?

hi

anyone who knows how much tower 1 or tower 2 3 bedroom cost before? currently its over 4m for 61sqm thanks

Here's a price before,as of july this year ,9th floor 3 bedroom facing amenities,61.66 sq.m was 3.5M including vat and I understand that now, they don't include vat for they are selling combined units (3 one bedroom )for separate vouchers.

hi baphi:

thanks for the quick reply, wow 500k difference.

now they are offering it for 4m with vat, thanks for the info, will try to negotiate with them

hi, anyone here who have bought unit/s sa mezza? my wife and i considering in getting one at tower 4

It seems like they're working on this 24 hours. I pass by this around 9:30pm-10:00pm after my class and the whole area is lit with floodlights and it seems like they're working on it with all the dust you'll see hovering over the floodlights.

i was going to take a pic of this while on the LRT dapat a while ago... kaso biglang may dumaan na LRT sa kabilang direction... kaasar...

^^ onga... busy-busy ang construction site... they've dug up the foudations they made a few months ago...

sino po may alam kung magkano ang 1 bedroom sa mezza residences.
available pa ba ang tower 1 and 2?

Sold out na ang l and ll ang available are 3 and 4. The 1 bedroom starts at 1.5M want more info ?pm me I'll be glad to tell you.Kasi it depends on desired floor and the views you would like to have.

sa tower 3, facing amenities na nasa 15-21 floor, 1 bedroom , mga magkano kaya?
sino po ba ang broker/agent ng SM Mezza residences?
ang Pinoyhomes ba ang broker? nakita ko kasi sa inquirer.net

O yes they are,you can call them and ask the recent price or refer you to my agent in SMDC,

ok heres the recent price 15th fl 1,469,380+other charges 80,816 php
21th fl 1,537,723 + other charges 84,575 php these are units facing amenities 20.66 sq.m.More or less you already know the prices of the floors in between.

salamat po for the information. Sa tingin mo, Maganda ba bumili dito sa Mezza, sabi kasi nila , bumabaha dito.
how about terms of payment and any discount?
can you give me your agent number?

salamat ulit.

@philip,hope you received my pm.

Nalito ako. Di ba malapit sa SM Sta. Mesa ang Mezza Residences? Eh bakit QC ang nasa title ng thread?

^^ Kung ang SM Sta Mesa nga na mas malapit sa Manila eh Q.C. na ang address, mas lalo pa eto, mas pasok eto sa Q.C.

Kaya nga nung nandun pa ako sa Info Sta Mesa sa SM, di kami nawawalan ng pasok pag Manila Day na kasabay ang San Juan Day kasi nga Q.C. na kami. Pero halos wala ring pumapasok dahil takot ang mga tao na mabasa dahil araw nga ng basaan sa San Juan.

^^ QC na ang buong Sta. Mesa? Ano ba un? :?

yung buong sm sta mesa ay sakop ata ng qc na.. nasa cormer bale sya ng qc..

^^ QC na ang buong Sta. Mesa? Ano ba un? :?

No, not the whole Sta Mesa, SM Sta Mesa lang ang Q.C., the "Sta Mesa" in SM Sta Mesa is just a name, doesn't mean that it's part of Sta Mesa, okay?

Wala kahit isang part ng Sta Mesa ang Q.C., Manila ang buong Sta Mesa.
And SM Sta Mesa actually doesn't belong to Sta Mesa kasi nga Q.C. eto.

ang border ng qc at manila ay ang sogo at V. mapa station. kaya before sogo ay QC... after sogo ay manila... SM sta. mesa isnt actually located in sta. mesa.

edit: na sagot na pala ni aaron.. :)

@Aaron: OK. Gets. Easy ka lang. Puso mo. :colgate:

^^ Naks, touch naman ako. Concerned ka. Ingat lang ha, baka mapatay ka ni "BF" sa ginagawa mo, seloso yun! :D

^^ Ok

Ang bilis yata nito,just launched last year (2 towers pa) then as if they are on the third level podium or going to 4rth?wow...!

san ba sya tinatayo? across araneta ave?

walang underground eh.. pero mabilis nga talaga...

san ba sya tinatayo? across araneta ave?

almost beside UERM. ka-diagonal ng SM sta. mesa..

additional FYI lang about SM Sta Mesa, it was formerly known as SM Centerpoint because it is centrally located between the boundaries of Manila, Quezon City, and San Juan.

Pero its address is really Quezon City.

^^ Ang alam ko Centerpoint because back then it was between SM Cubao and SM Quiapo Dept. Stores.

Grass Residence is just a 3 tower development and yet it costs twice as much as Mezza Residences which will host 4 towers.

of course grass must have huge budget,look at the no. of units,grass has more than doubled nos.of units compared to mezza,maybe each tower is wider than mezza w/c has 4 towers.

yung estimated time of completion na 2009.., is that for the entire 4 towers.., o 2 lang?

Grass Residence is just a 3 tower development and yet it costs twice as much as Mezza Residences which will host 4 towers.

it costs twice as much because grass residence area has twice as much shopping(sm north and trinoma):lol:

^^ Amen to that. :lol:

yung estimated time of completion na 2009.., is that for the entire 4 towers.., o 2 lang?

Just for towers 1 and 2

Grass and Mezza Res.have the same price per unit,an agent sent me a sample computation.

Hi, is there an in-house agent/broker of Mezza Residences here who can help me respond to email inquiries on Mezza?

If you guys know of one, please refer him/her to me. My email add is: glends@gmail.com.

Thanks a lot =)

^^ senxa.., wala eh, nasa lrt kasi ako., next time pag tumambay ako sa SM. :)

the only thing i have against the location of this project is that it is also a quite popular location for funeral homes and crematoriums

diba sa bandang northern portions ng araneta ave maraming ganoon? although i'm not sure., hanggang aurora blvd lang ako eh., :)

medyo malayo pa yang mga funeral homes .. along aurora lang tong Mezza...

^^ The two towers behind are already above the podium level.

^^ onga., in fairness sa SM, mabilis siya ah. :) although a reason for that is the fact na ang nipis lang ng towers.

^^ Di lang manipis, makitid rin, so dapat ng na mabilis sa liit ng floor plate nito. At least they'd look sleek and sexy, unlike other fat buildings. Uso din naman ngayon ang payat, pati pala sa scrapers ganito na rin. :D

hi guys, nakakuha ako unit dyan last May 2006, 35% downpayment sya for 2 years, 2br with balcony 45.76 sqm floor area. ofw ako sa uae. musta na kaya construction?i am expecting we can move by 2008. nabasa ko sa thread 2009 pa. wala kasing updates from sm mismo sana galing. ni wala ako info sa details ng mga specs sa unit. i requested for floor plan with measurements para mapadesign sa mga friends kong architect, ayun wla pa binibigay sa broker ko until now.:bash: :ohno:

^^ i havent passed by mezza lately., but by the looks of it., mabilis ang construction., the 2 towers are already above podium., and with the size of these buildings, mabilis tong tataas.,

maybe kelangan mong kulitin broker mo for the floorplans., wala ba sa website nila?

sana nga umabot ng end ng 2008 man lang para start ng 2009 pwde na lumipat, di sla makapag commit eh. naku dko sla makulit as in. wla pdaw binibigyha sm sa knila. sa website kasi picture lang pero i need yung plans na may measurements talga at yun ang need ng architect friend ko. sana meron may ganun sa memebers ng forum na ito for a 2br at maishare sa akin yung info.

If you want the measurements of the condo .... i suggest go to the first condo development of SM which is Chateau Elysee in Bicutan, Paranaque.
Iisa lang ang klase ng plano ng mga SM condo.

looks like they're starting to work at the 3rd and 4th tower na rin.,

does anyone have latest price list of mezza? may available units pa ba? sana may makapagsend sakin ng details.. yogie_bear18@yahoo.com

Hi,

I am new here. I have been communicating with a few realtors in PI regarding a unit in mezza and these are the latest quotations that I received from a realtor in PI. Medyo mahal na sya ngayon, but I think its because they know that I am not locally in PI. Mas mahal ata ang quote nila pag alam na nasa ibang bansa ka. Yung unang set ng quotes na binigay sa akin nung showing interest pa lang ako ay 1.5M. Nung sinabi kong mag re-reserve na ako, nabenta na daw yung 1.5M at 1.7M na, YIKES! 200K ang tinaas in a week.

My cousin who lives in manila and who is helping me get a unit in Mezza was able to get me a unit in Tower 1, the last 1br unit they have for 1.37M lang. So depende din kung sino magtatanong ng quotation. Mas mura pag di ka taga ibang bansa.

Actually the price of mezza is standard at hindi puedeng itaas o ibaba by an agent or broker because the payment will be received by SMDC main office. The price only differ by floor level and views syempre mas mabilis mabenta ang murang unit lower floors kaya pamahal yung natitirang unit and that means higher commission for them ,by the way I'm also a unit owner Tower l 29th floor.Thank you Aaron and to others for the pics update.

uy baka magkita tayo sa tower 1. nasa 36th floor ako.

wala na bang ibang updates? :ohno:

salamat sa lahat ng nag post ng pics and updates, i really appreciate it.

tanong ko lang, meron akong problem pagdating sa post dated checks. pano ako makakapagbukas ng checking account sa pilipinas so that i can write my post dated checks?

i looked at HSBC online and required talaga na resident ka ng Philippines. yung taga US, pano kayo nag purchase ng unit and how are you issuing checks for payments?

Salamat!

^^ OA naman ito sa sa demand, last week lang yung update ko ha, it's very much updated I can say.

hi @jma (future neighbor) I went to the Phil for vacation and took the opportunity to secure a unit.About checking accounts,try mo ang web site ng Banco de Oro since this bank is partner w/ SMDC . Hope this helps you,you can even order check book here online.

Sorry Thomasian, oo nga pala kaka-post mo lang ng pics, di ko napansin yung date kasi. Taga-UST din ako dati before we immigrated sa U.S. I love that school, kahit hanggang ngayon nga lagi akong meron sticker ng UST sa mga nagiging kotse ko hehehe.

Baphi, Mahigpit sa pinas pagdating sa bank account. Wala akong problema sa Cedula at TIN since my cousin can get me that. Ang problema eh yung personal appearance mo sa banko. I dont have the time to go to Pinas until next year dahil graduating ako this coming december and I need to focus on schooling. Pati nga HSBC online kelangan pa din ng personal appearance. Ayaw ko naman ipangalan sa pinsan ko yung banko, mahirap na.

sana meron pang me ibang solusyon.

salamat baphi at pasensya na thomasian.

well you can use an excisting checking account, maybe of your cousin or a friend. saka mo dun ipapadala ang pera sa account na yun. its expensive lang yata sa processing fee.

baka pwedeng auto debit arrangment.. you'll just maintain a savings account which you can send money from the states.. then they can deduct the payment every month from that account..

mahigpit na ang personal checking account dito sa atin.. they require you to have a savings account for 6 months yata before they can let you open a checking account.. tapos ang dami pang ID na kailangan.. it will help kung may kakilala kang bank manager to back you up.

or do balloon payment na lang.. para you can pay straight from the US.

if you're in california, ny, or nv, you might want to open a remote rcbc or bpi account under your name in any branch of rcbc or bpi in the philippines, then have bank send a ream of checks to a relative in pinas, then have that relative fedex it to you, and then fedex it back after signing the checks and writing the fixed payments on each check. I dunno if developer is ok with post-dated checks.

baka naman pwde tayo gawa thread dito ng unit owners para at least may sense ng familiarity tayo pag nag start na tayo dun stay. :banana:

Wow!, thank you everyone for helping me..:laugh:

Mahirap nga magbukas ng account sa pinas without actually being there. Mandate daw ng Central Bank na lahat ng magbubukas ng account ay mag appear personally sa banko (my cousin's wife works at central bank).

Pero bilib ako sa koneksyon ng cousin ko at nakuha niya ako ng Cedula at TIN without me being there. Problema na lang talaga yung bank account, baka maipangalan talaga sa kanya. I just have to trust him I guess.

How does balloon payment work? I have to ask about the auto debit kung pwede.
