Thanks for the pics condoeast! Now we know who we can request for photo updates when the construction starts.
You have the best vantage point!
Hope you won't mind if I request you to take a photo of the South Cemetery from the same vantage point so I'll know how it looks from above? Tnx!

Thanks Sky. Adamson is near Alfaro Place in Saldedo Village. I'm not sure if there's indeed a school inside, or is it just named Adamson. Since I'll be moving to Citibank Tower soon, I'll be able to verify this.

Nice photos condoeast. Do you work with MW or Empire East/Suntrust? You got a very good morning view of Makati and afternoon view of Ortigas and Mandaluyong.

The tombs of South Cemetery looks very disorganized from up there. Very unsightly. It's a total chaos. I've been inside (taking photos), and it's really creepy. Some old tombs were even destroyed already.

This project is really creating a lot of Buzz. I have received a number of Letters of Intent for Jazz Residences already. SM is now head to head with Alveo projects that are for launch next year, one being the Zuellig Columns. Its no longer ALI vs Megaworld. Its now SM vs ALI. Competition truly drives progress. Great!

South Road properties in cebu is the next destination of SM properties. It is going to be one of the best locations for a next high rise by SM. FLI has also bought a part of this prime location. This will be a great show in terms of constructions rising in the making of a new urban area, considering this is a very raw place and everything is so flat with a very good view of the sea unobstructed for several kilometers.

I'm interested in this project. All other things equal, which units do you think would have better value in the long term, the ones with CBD view or the cemetery view? Do you guys think it would be better to get a higher-floor unit? Thanks a bunch.

It looks like the entire property is unobstructed from all sides. It would be great to get a corner unit here with views from all sides, at least 3 sides, is there anything like that in the floor plans? I would love to see it, i always prefer the higher floors. Ill appreciate any input.

Which view? Don't tell me about the view to the cemetery...it's not only a bad feng shui, it's kind of scary...ohoooooo. Of course the developer cares only for the money so what the heck...just keep building. If my memory is correct 15 years ago that was the site for the main Toyota headquarters but it didn't push through.

If I'm not mistaken, it was mentioned here that the terrace walls were deliberately built high in order to obstruct the view of the Manila South Cemetery.

Nearby buildings have same cemetery view (that is, if you are looking down). If you look straight the horizon, Mandaluyong/Ortigas skyline. Sabi nga ni condoeast, mesmerizing

Individual preferences differ, i couldnt care less with a cemetery, people there are dead. Besides, imagine the peaceful days and nights ahead, especially if your unit is within the first 10 floors where you easily hear street noise. I hope the cemetery doesnt get developed soon, i heard its going to be developed by the city after the lease of the grave lots expires sometime soon. Then that part of makati will definitely be another additon to the skyline.

I'd be more afraid of the living people than dead people who are resting in peace. Future residents facing the South Cemetery are guaranteed to have unobstructed views for a long, long time.

why a lot of fuzz about the cemetery adjacent to this project? the essensa, pacific towers, fairways tower condominiums etc are next to or face the libingan ng mga bayani and/or the u.s. memorial cemetery, right?

bel-air village IV (across rockwell) was a former cemetery site, but look how progressive the whole area and its adjacent neighborhood like rockwell are now.

feng sheui? who needs it? yes, if you want to scare yourself.

As for me, it's not about bad feng shui. It's about the sight. I'm ok with The American Battle monunent and Heritage Park views. I'd love to wake up in the morning with them in sight. But these two are way way more organized than South Cemetery.

What's the connection? They're rich and the cemetery has got nothing to do with it. A view of the cemetery doesn't bring you bad luck. Who said that? Feng shui? Believe me it's a hoax....

Good point.

Again, it's not about luck or something similar. It's about the view. Believe me, the south cemetery view is not very relaxing. Unless it's a night view.

i agree that it's a hoax!

if you are a christian, be aware that no such thing or even similar to it can be found in the bible.

let's leave feng shui to the chinese (no offense meant here).

i'd be happy to live in the jazz residences.

Exactly my point,there is no connection whatsoever because (its just me),I don't believe in feng...
don't even know the spelling,don't believe in luck,(again just me)_.If God allows me to have a unit here,
I'll be more than happy even if the view is the dazzling cemetery.
